How can I use my iPhone 5s that I purchased online

HHow can I use my iPhone 5s that is locked with someone else's iTunes account?

If you're able to contact the previous owner, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded.
Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I have a Canadian apple ID and reside in the U.S. during winter - How can I use an Itunes card that I purchased in the U.S. and keep that music in the same library?

    I have a Canadian apple ID and password andhave used ITunes cards in the past when in Canada to purchase music and download to my computer.  I reside in the U.S. for several months each winter and just purchased an ITunes card here in Arizona.  When I tried to purchase music on the Itunes store it would not accept the ITunes card as it said it was associated with a Canadian account.  If I open an account on the U.S. itunes store and download music to my computer will I still be able to transfer that music to my Iphone without losing any of my existing music???  ?Thanks for your replies.  Derek

    Neither creating a new iTunes Store account nor changing the country of an existing one will erase previously downloaded content.

    my iphone 4 button doesn't work. How can i use my iphone without the working button?

    Well if you restore your iPad that might work. If its a software issue, it might solve it. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware issue that apple can fix.

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

  • How can I use my iPhone as a GPS Tracker?

    My Phone:
    iPhone4S
    iOS 8.0.2
    How can I use my iPhone as a GPS Tracker? My requirement is not just finding the iPhone using find my iPhone but to use it as a GPS Tracking Device. I wish to enable GPS on my iPhone and want somebody to locate my movement continuously. Earlier I used to do this using my Nokia Phone with Google Latitude. Currently I know Google Plus has a Location Sharing Option also but that doesn't give location details continuously. Any help?

  • How can i fix my iphone 4 that doesnt want to restore

    how can i fix my iphone 4 that doesnt want to restore?

    I think you'd need to supply a little more information than that if you want help...
    At what stage does the restore fail?
    Are you trying to update the iOS?
    Are you getting an error code? Have you looked it up using the handy link?
    Have you tried rebooting your computer?
    Have you tried a different cable?
    Have you tried a different USB Port?

  • Can i use the iphone 4s that is on an at&t contact in another country?

    can i use the iphone 4s that is on an at&t contact in another country?

    Short answer: yes, with limitations
    Long Answer: AT&T has roaming agreements with other providers in foreign countries, so it will automatically work there, but you will be paying AT&T's roaming charges which are very expensive even if you have the $25 international roaming add-on. Of course that is just for voice, not including how much data might cost.
    If you want to use the local country providers at their local pricing, then you want an unlocked phone (like the ones available in November from Apple).
    Outside of that, there are other options, but you should research those somewhere else.

  • How can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    how can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
    Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • How can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?

    I use TopLink today, and I can use one table to query, but how can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?
    Thank you for see and answer this question.

    You can write a custom SQL query and map it to an object as needed. You can also use the Toplink query language "anyOf" or "get" commands to map two tables as long as you map them as one to one (get command) or one to many (anyOf command) in the toplink mapping workbench.
