How do I get my iphone activated if i cannot remember the apple id and password?
I have an IPhone 4 that I want to pass to my son because I have a new one. I took it off my ATT plan...but now in order for him to use it I have to know the apple id and password to remove it from the account. I got the phone so long ago we no longer have that email address and I've tried every password I've ever used and it doesn't work. Sooo...I was able to get into the old email account by webmail...I changed the password and the email address. Now it still says its hooked to that old email address except now...that old email address is no long an apple ID. HELLLPPP!
Click here and use Apple's iForgot service; if it doesn't work, contact Apple.

How can i activate my iphone 5 if we dont know the apple id and password
how can i activate my iphone if you dont know the apple id and password.
If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

I am a user of iPhone 4 that they gave to me .. then suddenly my brother restored it and we cannot identify the apple id and password that have used to unlock this phone.. please help me .. because i can't use anymore my phone
Please Help me .. im from Philippines
thx a lot apple company
<Email Edited By Host>This is not Apple we are all users here
You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you -
itunes or iphone updated the software on my phone and now I cannot activate my phone because I cannot remember my icloud ID or the password I used to set up account.
you don't know what you are talking about.
Really? You know that how?
I bought this 4s couple of years ago and have never bought anything through icloud or itunes
Yet you don't know your Apple ID. Somewhere along the line you set up an Apple ID as that Apple ID had to be used to set up activation lock. Activation lock is what you are encountering.
to suggest I purchased this phone through ill-gotten gains is BS
You would not be the first person to attempt to get past activation lock because of acquiring a stolen device. Not your fault as you may not have known. I never said you stole the phone but you could very well have purchased the phone from an online source or from someone who offered the phone for sale. It would not be the first time it has happened.
Stay out of discussions
Fine. You are on your own. -

If you don't know your ID ("username"), you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. Then you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. Of course, you can only do this if it's your ID.

My sister gave me her old iphone. I have the apple id and password, but where do I find that in the phone? Do I need to reset the phone before I deactivate her account and set up mine?

I have a 13" MacPro. How can I create a Face Time account. I have an Apple ID and password. When I Google how to create an account all I get is what I need for the system
You don't need to create an account. Your use your Apple ID to log into Facetime.
If you haven't already you will need to download the Facetime App from the Mac App Store.

i bought a second hand ipad 4 4g the first user forgot the apple id and password, how can i restore the ipad and create a new id and password for it?
You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know. -
hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help
you have to restore to ios 6 and then sign in with your own apple id,
any apps etc on the iphone now, will not be able to be backed up and used in the future as they are not linked to your apple ID. and if you plan on using the previous owners ID then you need there [*** which I assume you dont have.
simply just restore using itunes then setup as new with all your details and your done, you can go to the appstore and start getting your own apps -
i have iphone 4s and can't activate it because i don't know what it the apple id and password and its like a 3rd hand, so its original owner is impossible to reach. what i can do to activate it.
Nothing without the Apple id used to activate the iPnone
Activation lock is an anti theft method

There is no way round the lock without the correct iD and Apple will NOT assist in any way

i tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC
If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.

i need to get my brothers itunes off his old phone i already reset it to factory settings but its still telling me i have to enter the apple id and password and we dont know it and doesnt remember the information that he put in itunes to do it
I guess that the only problem is, that the iphone is already connected / related (or whatever... I´m german) to an apple ID. and if he could go in the ITUNES account, he/they could get rid of that by DISCONNECTING
please try
okay... its in itunes to com to the point to disconnect the device from the cloud.
I thought they still could hat any auto login on the mac ?!
sorry if I was wrong
