how do i get through find my i phone with out knowing the past apple id or password?

If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. If you recently purchased the iPhone, return it for a refund if you can.

    How can I get help finding a specific textbook to purchase in the iBook store?

    Is there some reason you cannot provide the exact title here as was  requested?
    If the book is not in the Apple store, you will have to get it from another one, such as Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Google, Sony.  Each of them has apps to read the books  you get from them.

    What is the precise wording of the error message that occurs on the old iPhone when attempting to do a backup?
    Are you attempting to backup via iTunes on the computer or iCloud?

    how do i get into my ipad if i do not know passcode and i dont want to erase the data i have on it

    Hello Mariemonkey82
    Follow the steps in the article below to put your iPad into recovery-mode so that iTunes can restore it.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • How do I delete an old iCloud account with out knowing the password in order to make a new one

    i recently sent my phone to my aunt and she reset the phone but my own iCloud is still on the phone how can she change it with out me giving her my password

    That is Activation Lock.  The only way around it is to log in with your credentials.  Go to Settings/iCloud.  Turn off Find my iPhone, and then uncheck iCloud.  At some point you will have to put in your Apple id credentials (the one you use for app purchases).  Then go to Settings/General/Reset and click on Reset All Settings.  I would suggest you select Erase All Contents and Settings.  That will set the phone back to factory defaults.  She can then set the phone up as hers and download the apps she wants with her own Apple id.
    Have a nice day.

  • I used to have a mobile me account to use when I travel.  I have an older power mac G5.  How can I get into my email when I am out of the country.  My computer is too old to use I cloud.  I have updated it as far as I can with operating systems.

    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.  I am unable to use the cloud.  I used to have a Mobileme account and used it when I traveled to foreign countries yo read email.  I do not know how to acess my email when traveling now.  My email address is through mac.com.  Please advise as there must be a way.  We are traveling to South America soon for about a month and I need to know how to access my email from afar.
    Thanks!

    Hi Margaret,
    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
    I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
    Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
    iCloud Mail setup...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers.

  • How can I safely get a broken-off head phone jack out of the receptacle?

    The head phone jack broke off in the iPad. It is too far down to remove with tweezers. Any suggestions on how to get it out safely? I sent it to the company and was told that unless I fixed the dent on the corner and scratches to the charging base at a cost of $255, they could not fix it. So now I am trying to figure out how to get it out myself.
    Thank you for your help,
    Karen

    Use super-glue on the tip of a jeweller screwdriver (tiny screwdriver) to extract the phone jack.

  • How do you change apps on your phone with out using the home button?

    Just trying to see if there is an easier way.

    You can enable Assistive Touch which puts a small square with a circle on your screen and can use that to switch apps/exit to the Home Screen, I believe.

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-
