How can i active iphone without previose owner

i bout a iphone from some guy & i cant actived it without previose owner . i called previouse owner she dosent want to deactived it from her account . how can i work around it?

Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
if the previous owner is refusing because the phone was stolen from her you must give it back, they will have seen where you are located, handing it back may be the end of the matter for you, not doing so may cause you to be liable for handling stolen property.
If there is some other reason she won't remove her ID, you should ask her.

How can i active iphone 3g with error 1015?

A 1015 error usually indicates that the iPhone has been jailbroken. Has yours? If so, we can provide no help with jailbroken iPhone in these forums, so you will have to look elsewhere for assistance.

How can I control iPhone without touchscreen?

I want to control the iPhone without using the touchscreen. Specifically, I want a custom app to receive simple commands through pushing of 3 or 4 external buttons. I understand this can be done through the dock pins 12 and 13. I think I would need a microcontroller that would then send input to the app. I just dont understand the technical issues or possiblities with this approach.
Another idea is to use bluetooth connectivity. Once again, 3 or 4 buttons sending 3 or 4 differnet commands to the app. I just want to be able to scroll through options in the app or change a few settings.   Once again, not sure of the technical issues or possiblites with sending input to apps via bluetooth.
For example, my app is a stopwatch. I want one button to start the timer, once button to record laps, one button to scroll through specifics of each lap once completed, and one button to stop the timer.
I also need to understand if I can disable the screen lock so I can avoid the SLIDE TO UNLOCK since I wont be able to access the touchscreen.
I think I will need to jailbreak the phone or work with Apple on hardware accessiblity but I'm just trying to figure out how to accomplish this.

I also need to understand if I can disable the screen lock so I can avoid the SLIDE TO UNLOCK since I wont be able to access the touchscreen.

How can i activate iPhone without apple id ? It is used iphone 5 , ios 7 , no other information. May be i can do something with developer account ? another way?

It is used iphone 5 , ios 7 , no other information. May be i can do something with developer account ? another way?

That's the entire point of the update. To prevent unauthorized activation of an iPhone. To discourage Theft.
If there was a way around it, it would defeat its purpose.
The only way to get past that is to contact the original owner and ask that they remove the lock with their Apple ID.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to. With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password. That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

I brought second hand iphone4 but i cannot open it because the owner forgot her apple id and password, how can i reformat this without reformating my phone outside?

There is nothing you can do about but ask the seller for your money back. Without the previous owners applid password, you cannot activate and use that device - there is no way around that. iOS 7's Activation Lock needs to be disabled by the previous owner in order for you to use it - if they cannot (or willnot) produce the password to disable it, you have no options.
They can disable it remotely for you - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 but not if they do not remember their own password.

How can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

how can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

No, it is contract-free (meaning no 2-year contract that you are locked into), but it is not unlocked. Here is what the Apple iPhone 6 site says about the T-Mobile contract-free device:
If you have selected an iPhone for T-Mobile, it will come with the appropriate nano-SIM, but you will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
In order to activate it, you have to select a T-Mobile plan and pay for it (it is monthly). Once the device has been activated, you can use other compatible SIMs with it.
When the unlocked phone is released at a later date, this is what the site says about it:
If you have selected an unlocked GSM phone, you can insert your own nano-SIM card or obtain one from the supported GSM carrier of your choice and activate it in order to use your iPhone.
So, the T-Mobile is not unlocked. It is contract-free, and you will be paying for at least one month's worth of service from T-Mobile.
Cheers,

How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

Hi
I have bought my iPhone 3G yesterday. I have found out how to transfer music from iTunes however i can't transfer videos. I'm selecting the videos i want to transfer on the videos tab after i chose my iphone from the side menu and pressing apply. iTunes says that its syncing my iphone but it doesnt transfer the videos.
Lately i have found out a function on the advanced menu for movies as "create iphone or ipod version". When i used that it transfered that video to my iPhone however the sound was completely lost besides that action takes too much time(around 10 mins for a 3 min video and i have a pretty strong computer).
How can i transfer videos without losing the sound to my iPhone 3G?

One thing I'd recommend is that you make sure the video/audio you're trying to transfer falls within the guidelines listed in the 'Video' section here:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
What's most likely happening is that the file is not converted as such so when you try to transfer it, it's wanting to convert it but is unable to for any number of reasons.
There's software out there that might make this easier for you but I can't recommend anything specifically.

How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

Hi,
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

I have had my iphone 3gs for 3 mths., I have not connected it to my computer to creat a apple id and upload, somebody told me u have to do this right when u get your phone or you will loose everything in your phone. I don't want to loose all my #'s, pictures,texts,etc.
How can I do this without loosing everything?
Thanks

They told you incorrectly, although it is not a good idea to rely on the device as a single point of storage.
You must have an Apple ID to purchase content via iTunes, simply log in with that ID in iTunes. Then connect the device and sync it. For detailed instructions, read the manual which is available online or on the device.
