Hello i can't registrate my iPhone c, apple tells me the the serial number is already in use with another apple id ???

Hi,
i tried to registrate my new iphone 5c, but everytime i put in the serial number in my support profile it tells me that the iphone is already registrated with another apple id.....When i started the iPhone for the first time i used the same id that tried to registrate it with. What is the problem here ?
Thanks

Its a brand new iPhone 5c from an official retailer
That does not answer the question. I'm going to take a guess and say that whoever you bought it from is NOT actually an authorized reseller for the iPhone. If you'd like to give us the details on exactly where you bought it, maybe you can disprove that.
In any event, the "solution" to your problem is to return the phone for a refund. Then you can buy one from a legitimate source.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. She uses this as her imessage texting. First it needed to be verified. Once I tried to verify it on appleid support, It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

Email can't be verified as its already in use with another apple id

Hi there,
This is my conundrum.
When I got my iPhone 3Gs, I made an apple id with my @hotmail.com email.
Then when I got an @me.com email about a year later, and automatically I have two apple id's.
Well I tried to make the switch over to just using my @me.com apple id for everything as I don't use the @hotmail.com email anymore.
But now its saying that my @me.com email can't be verified for my @me.com apple id because its in use with a different apple id.
Somehow my @hotmail.com account was verified with the @me.com email.
I changed the @hotmail.com apple id to not be verified with the @me.com email anymore.
After successfully changing it I tried to get the @me.com account to have the @me.com email be the primary email address.
But it still says that it is verified with another account. I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. Any help?

I just got an iphone 3GS and am trying to set up a game center account and it lets me log in with my apple id and password but when it come time to set up a nickname it tells me my email is already in use with another apple id. How do I fix this?

I have been trying to log in to the game center for 2 days now with no luck. I have an apple id and have never used game center before. It keeps telling me my email is already in use with another apple id and I have no idea how to get around this and would like to be able to play my games.

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

My itunes comes up with this when i try to download purchased songs: this devise is already associated with an apple id. this devise can be used with another apple id in 82 days. i need help to see if i can fix this problem please.

i have an iphone 4s i signed out of my itunes on the devise and my friend signed herself into ituned but i signed her out an myself back in but my purchased songs and tones cannot download. it gives me a message of:this device is already associated with an apple id. this device can be used with another apple id in 82 days! is there anyway for me to fix this or override something. im freaking out!!

Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

I have a long-existing iPhone 4s with one apple id and started a job where I received a macbook with another apple id. how do i get my phone to sync with the Mac Pro and secondly how do i get my music on there?

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

Cannot register My iPhone serial number, it says device registered to another apple id

Hello i have bought a New iPhone 4S in july 2013, for some reason I cannot get it registered to the Support site because it says that the sn is already registered with another apple id (but i dont have any others)

That was the most logic response of course.
The phone was indeed new, I have bought it in a store in Italy (I have got the receipt); how can I get my serial number registered to my account? Shall I go to an Apple Store?

Can i use the same datasource which is already been used for another appln?

Hi All,
There is a datasource from r/3 copa which is already been used in another application. Is it possible for me to use the same data source to my Appln?
If so then pls guide me on that?
Thanks
pooja

Yes you can use it..
It depends actually on your requirement..
If you are already pulling that data into a DSO, then directly use that DSO in your applicaiton by doing a look up or by getting data from it...This will avoid duplication of data...
But if your requirement is not suffice with the DSO you already have then create your own custom and pull the data from the same datasource into it...

You cannot track an iPad with the Serial Number.

You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This device can be used with another Apple ID in 90 days.

I can't download musics on my appple id.

Hello A.Somhpop
Your Apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices. Once a new Apple ID is introduced it disables the other Apple ID for 90 days. The article below will give more information on the matter.

HT1386 I keep getting a message while downloading purchased music into Ipod that reads " U can download past purchases on this device with just 1 apple ID every 90 days. can b used with another apple ID in 42 days" what does that mean? cant get music on

I have purchased an album and its on my computer in library, plays there and on Ipod as downloaded but cant get it in to music. also havent been able to get my music that I download into hard drive to sync either, afraid to restore [reset] because with have to re-download all of my cd s again. HELP

It means exactly what it says. For redownloading via iCloud (which is what you are doing).
Computers and devices can be associated with a different Apple ID once every 90 days. Days remaining indicates the number of days before you can associate that specific computer or device with a different Apple ID.

Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603

Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603 & 1611 appeared! please help me!!

You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Sorry if my English isn't correct because of I'm Italian.
You must switch on the lost mode on the app " Find my iPhone ".
If you can see it on the map of this app, you will know where is your iPhone in that moment.
REMEMBER: you can see your iPhone on the map of " Find my iPhone" only if it is online. Indeed you can't see your iPhone if it's offlined or switched of.

Hello Renvin29,
It sounds like you need to disable your iPhone remotely. I'm sorry to hear about your phone! The only way to do this with is Apple services is if you had Find my iPhone enabled. You have 2 options:
You can use this article to put the phone into Lost Mode and preserve your data on it, but prevent access to it:
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Or you can just erase it remotely outright:
iCloud: Erase your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2701
You should also take a look at this article for additional info on what to do about this situation:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
