Got my stolen Iphone back but it's registered under the criminals Apple ID
I'm a kindergarten teacher and our custodian stole my phone. One week after my phone was stolen our Principle saw this individual with my phone/distinct case and asked to see it. Well it was the same phone and he was let go and we got our iPhone back....Well now it's registered to someone else s Apple ID ( which is the thief) and this individual is not willing to unregister it for the police and the one hundred dollars we offered him. Are we just completely screwed?
Take the original proof of purchase to a physical Apple Store and they should be able to help you.

I just got a new iphone and we are hooked up to the same apple ID in this family, and his Ipad Have been receiving my texts. How can I fix this?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages. -
My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts? We want to be able to share my itunes library on both our phones and sync our calendars, but I don't want every update and reminder that my wife puts in her phone and I know she doesn't want every reminder I put in my phone.
What you need to do is both use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but separate Apple ID's for everything else. So, you keep your existing Apple ID. If not a verifiable email address, you will need to create a new Apple ID for yourself. You also create an Apple ID for your wife, again a verifiable email address. You use the existing Apple ID for all iTunes content. The new Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. Here's how to create an Apple ID:

Can anyone help me
The app may have been pulled from the App Store if it is no longer there. Check itunes on the computer you normally sync with to see if you still have a copy of the missing app there. If you do, connect your iPad, check the bix of the app Andy sync. The app will be recompiled to your iPad.

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to back up onto it. I haven't backed up my old one in over a year because there's not enough storage. How would I back up on iCloud to a Dell or Toshiba computer?
Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?
PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band. PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back. You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition. Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction. NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.
