Hi .. I bought a iphone4 locked on unknown icloud

Hi :
I bought a iphone4 and when I make restore , asked me to activate icloud
Please help me as soon as

In the article about Activation Lock that I already provided you with are the steps to ensure that a phone you are purchasing is not Activation Locked:
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock. If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process. After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to
icloud.com/find
. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account. 
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.
That is what you need to do.
Cheers,
GB

  • I bought an iPhone4 locked to Orange UK, why can't it be unlocked?

    I contacted Orange UK and they said that this iPhone4 is ready to be unlocked, but they can't unlock the phone  because I am not the original contract owner. Why can't Apple unlock this phone, because the original owner doesn't care and has sold it?
    As far as I understand, I am one of at least 3 owners for this phone. I guess there could be more.
    I just wanted to have a normal iPhone, why can't Apple help on this issue?
    I have previously had many apple products, this is the first one I bought used adn just wanted to restore it to normal.
    Another thing is that 3rd party services can unlock it for 200$. What is that they do to unlock it? Why can't apple make a small comission for unlcoking iPhones instead. People find ways to cheat and ripoff people who doesn't deserve to pay extra for the phone they bought.
    Here is my iPhones description:

    Apple does Not unlock phones...
    Only the Carrier can Unlock it...
    and it looks like you do not meet the Carriers requirements for Unlocking...

  • I bought an iphone4s on a pawnshop but it wont let me use it it says This phone is currently linked to an apple id sign in with the apple

    i bought an iphone4s on a pawnshop but it wont let me use it it says This phone is currently linked to an apple id sign in with the apple

    If it has iOS 7 installed Activation lock will prevent using until it is unlocked by the Apple ID of the previous user
    or that ID is removed by the previous owner from the iPhone

  • I bought an iphone4 from a friend and he was on orange i have put my o2 sim in the phone and it is saying restricted network with no service any ideas thanks

    I bought an iphone4 from a friend and he was using it on orange i have put my o2 sim in the phone and it is saying restricted network with no service any ideas thanks

    That is because the phone is locked to the Orange network and an o2 sim card is not going to work with a phone that is locked to Orange.
    You either need to purchase an Orange sim card and use that in the phone, or you need to get your friend to contract Orange and get the phone unlocked so that you can use an 02 sim card.
    At the moment you will never be able to use the 02 sim card if the phone is locked to Orange.  Either use Orange or get the phone unlocked.  It is as simple as that.

    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Why dose my new iPad (bought today) alway lock up

    why dose my new iPad (bought today) alway lock up when i use the acoustic guitar when I use  GarageBand???
    it locks up so bad If I turn it off nothing happens, the only fix is to hooking it up to my iMac
    really ******* me off
    anyone else have this problem?
    its the new 32 Gb wifi (NOT the G3)

    Airplay needs to be enabled on ATV. Both need to be on the same network. Then you double tap (or swipe up) to bring up the multi-task bar and swipe (left to right motion) to get to the volume/brightness and airplay controls. Select ATV and toggle ON mirroring.

  • I bought an iphone4s before my carrier put my sim in it i updated itunes now wont work with my sim

    I bought an iphone4s before my carrier put my sim in it i updated itunes now wont work with my sim

    Hello Aaron1658,
    It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
    "The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
    "iTunes was unable to verify your device."
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    I bought my iphone4 in singapore. Can i used it in the philippines with my globe postpaid plan?

    It seems that the iPhone is available unlocked in SG. However the warranty is not international and LTE is not guaranteed to work in the UK and EU on a SG bought phone.

  • I bought a used iphone 4 (gsm) and it was locked on an icloud account i asked the old owner to remove the device from his devices list on icloud and he did but the iphone is still asking to be activated on his icloud account. any help please???

    i bought a used iphone 4 (gsm) and it was locked on an icloud account i asked the old owner to remove the device from his devices list on icloud and he did but the iphone is still asking to be activated on his icloud account. any help please???

    If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.
    Regards.

  • I bought the iPhone4 in the apple store. Why iTunes shows that the SIM card isn't inserted when I connect to the compter? But I have inserted the SIM card.

    I bought the iPhone4 in the apple store. Why iTunes shows that the SIM card isn't inserted when I connect to the compter? But I have inserted the SIM card.
    Even if I inserted another SIM card which can work nomally in other‘s iPhone, it still doesn't work in my iPhone. So I think the problem isn't because of the SIM card.bwow

    Where did you buy it?  And was it connected to a carrier?

  • Method "LOCK" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE for Value Node

    Hi Experts,
    Please help me to resolve this issue.
    I am unable to lock the entity for Value Node and I doing this because I want to edit my custom view of the assignment Block.
    Actually, I have created a custom view for custom BOL in BP_HEAD Component, Later I have added this view to the AccountDetailsViewSet of the BP_HEAD and Now I have added the Edit Button to my custom View in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT Method of the view controller.
    And now when I about to write the code it says there is no lock method available for Value Node and also I am unable to edit the view
    Syntax Error: Method "LOCK" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE.
    DATA: lr_entity     TYPE REF TO CL_BSP_WD_VALUE_NODE.
          lr_entity ?= me->typed_context->Root->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
          IF lr_entity->lock( ) EQ abap_true.  " I am receiving syntax error here.
            me->view_group_context->set_view_editable( me ).
          ENDIF.
    Thanks,
    Bujji

    Hi Bujji
    It is not possible to use lock on value node entity. If you want to set your view to editable, you can use the logic as seen in the method 'ASSIGN_EDITMODE_2_VIEWS' of the account view set impl class in standard.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Nisha
