How do I find out who my iPhone 4S is locked to? I can't get passed the activation screen.

How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

  • Can't get past the activation screen for iphone 3Gs

    I am trying to activate the iphone 3Gs after switching from blackberry. When I turn the phone on, I get to the "welcome"screen, I choose my country and then given the option to activate through WiFi or iTunes. When I activate through WiFi, I get a message saying that the activation server is unavailable and to try again in a few minutes ( tried it again and was unsuccessful). I then attempt to activate through iTunes and receive a message saying that there is no SIM card in the phone (when there is). I am stuck here with a phone that is not working! I do not know what to do. I took it into Apple for them to check it out and they can't find the problem. Maybe someone has come across this issue and had it resolved? Please share!
    Thanks!

    You are asking in a thread that is 18 months old. Whatever.
    Here are possible causes for that message:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.
    Windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Mac: /etc/hosts

  • Can you put a microsim with no plan in the iPhone 5 to get passed the Activation Screen?

    I use a blackberry and I only bought the iPhone for music, camera..etc, and as a back up phone. I just want to get rid of the activation screen for good.

    I know but if I use it ONCE to activate my phone(lets say I borrow my friends nano sim), will it get passed the set up screen?

  • TS2753 Has your debit/credit card been charged for unauthorized APPLE Itunes purchased? How do you find out who used it?

    Has your debit/credit card been charged for unauthorized APPLE Itunes purchases?  How do you find out who used it?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

    Sorry but no; there is no online method and no one at Apple could tell you. There are millions of cards sold, from hundreds of vendors, so there's no way Apple could link the card to the purchaser (and even if they could they probably for privacy reasons couldn't tell you).
    You'll have to contact your friends and relatives and ask.
    Regards.

  • How do i find out who is visiting my site

    Hi
    How do i find out who is visiting my site (free service)
    I don't want to know how many, I want to know WHO is visiting my site on a daily basis and what search terms they are using.
    How can I get this info from google webmaster tools or my adwords account?
    Any help appreciated

    BOTH are safe and serve different functions.
    Google Analytics will tell you which geographic regions your site visitors come from, which web browsers they use, which display settings, which site pages they visited, where they came from plus a lot more...
    Freefind.com is a search engine you can add to your web pages.  They will send you weekly or monthly e-mails listing your site visitor's search terms.

  • I receive a Software Update notice that fails. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? How do I stop its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    About once a month I receive the Software update notice that has failed. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? If I decided I want this update how do I allow it to continue? If I decided I do not want this update how do I stop it and its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    Hi sharkbiscuit79,
    Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013.  PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
    However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
    Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
    Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

  • How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did?

    Using MYsql How do you find out who did not contribute to a particular fund raiser that we all just did. There are many titles to the different charities that is under the othpaytitle of the Otherpay table,  I however just want to extract the non-contributors for a particular charity title. Is there anyway to do this? When I do the the syntax below it comes up as an "empty set". The search is done by way of the table Id matching and left joins. Please see below.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, sum(otherpay.othpayamt) as NO_Contribution, quadlt.ltfname as quad 
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    GROUP BY brother
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother

    Just guessing based on your query,  and assuming the above query works, just insert a "where" condition. I also removed the SUM function. Also, "AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL"  may not be needed.
    SELECT  moiid, trim(concat(name.fname,' ' ,name.mname,' ',name.lname)) as Brother, name.moiid as Members_ID, otherpay.othpayamt, quadlt.ltfname as quad
    FROM name 
    LEFT JOIN OTHERPAY  ON name.moiid = otherpay.othpaymoiid
    LEFT JOIN quadlt  ON name.quadlt = quadlt.ltid
    WHERE  Otherpay.othpaytitle like '%food drive%'
    AND otherpay.othpaymoiid IS NULL
    AND name.type = 'BOI'
    AND name.type <> 'jrboi'
    AND name.city = 'SUFFOLK'
    AND othpayamt=0
    ORDER BY name.quadlt, brother
