You can NOT do so. Only the owner of the account used to lock the phone can remove it. Instructions for how to do so can be found within or linked from within the document I already linked to.
Activation lock is an anti-theft feature designed to make the device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.
If your friend refuses to give your money back and can not or will not remove the activation lock, there is a fair possibility that the phone was not theirs to sell in the first place.

i bought my phone from a friend who lived in china and would now like to change the phone to allow me to use the internet in south africa
If it is a genuine iPhone 4S (I know many people who have been duped by the cheap Chinese knock-off) then it should be unlocked for use with an SA SIM card. MTN and Vodacom both use the APN "internet", and you may find that if you are using a Vodacom SIM then the default APN is set as "iphone.vodacom.za". Change this by:
(iOS 6+) Going into Settings > Mobile Data > APN Settings and changing the APN to "internet".
(iOS 5<) Going into Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network and changing the APN to "internet".
I'm not sure what the APN is for Cell C, 8.ta and Virgin but I'm certain they are the same.
Hope this helps. -
Can somebody help me?
Because your Mac is second hand, the iLife apps belong to the original owner of the Mac. As is, these apps will never be yours and you will never be able to update them without the original owner's Apple ID. But to have the original owner's apps on a Mac that is now yours is also software piracy.
Just deleting the apps as suggested by the other user will not allow you to purchase these apps from the Mac App Store with your own account on this Mac. What needs to be done is your friend needs to call Apple Care and request that this Mac is disassociated from his Apple ID, that includes both OS X and the iLife apps. Then you should be able to use OS X Recovery to erase the HDD and install the latest version of the original OS X that came with the Mac and the iLife apps that you can then accept into your own Apple ID.

I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.
Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked. -

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.
This could be a couple different things.
The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
Is she able to get signed in at
Appleid.apple.com
and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
How many devices are registered to that Apple ID? -

!!!!!Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Whenever I am sending a MSG from my iPhone 4s to friends who don't have I phone or I device my smiley(emoji) seen to be square to them and when they send MSG to me with a smiley my iPhone shows :-) ;-p like symbols. Please help I want to receive smiley from my friend
I think you answered your own question. As your friends phones are not iPhones, but maybe Nokia or Android the smiley will appear as a different character or box. Thew only way to fix this would be to send a basic smile using the basic keyboard so that your friends will receive it as a smile and you will when they reply. Or ask your friends to check if the phones they are using have the emoji type keyboard available and ask them to update their phones. This will show the smiley when they reply to you.
Hope this helps. -

I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!
When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
No promises. -

i have over 5000 songs on my computer. Which is from songs bought from iTunes and from cd. i had all the songs on my iPod. went to download new songs and only 1500 songs are download . please help
Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.
