  • Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

    Thank you, please help me !

    How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
    You can't.
    Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
    You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

  • How do I make the App Store forget the password?

    My son has an iPod Touch, and I let him download games, but he doesn't have my account password. He has to show me the game he wants and then I'll put in my password to let it download.
    Problem is, there have been some other things showing up on my iTunes Store receipts that I don't recall approving. The App Store on the iPod seems to remember the password for a while, but I haven't figured out what conditions cause it to forget.
    I'd like to make sure that his iPod forgets the password after a download, so that he can't go off to his room and download something else that I didn't approve. How can I do that?

    Their iPods don't have that setting. Looks like it's a 3.0 thing. I've upgraded my iPod to 3.0, but not theirs... will I have to pay again for each of their iPods if I wanted to upgrade?

  • How can I lock out my iCloud? Because of forget my old password and I have do a new Apple ID but when wan to log out my iCloud it call me to logout find my iphone but already forget the password . Have any solution ?

    How can I lock out my iCloud?
    Because of forget my old password I have create a new Apple ID
    But when I wan to log out my iCloud,it call me to logout Find My iPhone.
    I had already forget the password that why I create a new Apple ID.
    Have any solution for problem like this ?

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • My email address no longer exists, how do I log in?

    I'm just trying to transfer the serial number of my from an old laptop to a new one, and I tried logging into my Adobe account online to find out the serial number I need.
    However when I tried to log in it said that I needed to reset my password, but the email address used for my Adobe ID does no longer exist (the account is completely gone), so I can't look at the confirmation email or reset the password or anything!
    Is there any way to change the email address on the account, without using the old email address, so I can successfully log in?
    Thanks.

  • I forgot passcode to my iPad... Now it is disabled, how can I log back in I don't remember it?

    I forgot passcode to my iPad now it is disabled, how can I log back in ?

    You can't log back in without restoring your iPad now.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

  • TS2446 i didnt forget my password i just forgot the ancwers to my security questions. how do i fix this?

    i didnt forget my password i forgot the ancwers to my security questions. how do i fix this?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Why do i have two game center accounts on one apple id and how do i log into the other one

    One day while i was bored i started up a game but all of my progress items and everything that i paid for was gone and it was the same in all of my other game center related apps. After a long chain of emails with the maker of the game he stopped being helpful but we figured out that i have two game center accounts but only one apple id. So how do i log into the account with all of my data?

    Get a separate Apple ID for one of the phones. Or turn OFF iCloud contacts synching on the one you do not want contacts to synch.

  • Wrong email for new ID verification email, how can I log in to change the wrong email?

    Just changed my Apple ID but after I was done I realized the email I used as my ID is wrong.  Now when I try to sign into iTunes I am being asked to verify the new ID using the verification email sent to the new email, problem being that that new email is wrong and I can't access it.  How can I log back into my account to change that email?  Help please.

    Did you get an answer to this? i have a new email and I can't verify the old one as it is blocked so can't log into it.  Any help will be appreciated.... thanks

    When I try to log in to iCloud I get a message that my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account.How do I log in?

    Hi reswaikiki,
    Usually if it says your Apple ID is not an iCloud account, that means you have not yet enabled your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  So you did set it up correctly on your iPod touch?
    If not yet, please see Set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • How to write log information into SM37 batch job log

    Hi,
    I have a report running in batch mode, and I would like to log the start time and end time for some part of the code (different Function modules). I need to write this log information into the batch job log. Therefore I can check the time frame of my FMs.
    After search the SDN, I can only get some information on how to write log into the application log displayed in SLG1, but that's not I want. I want to write batch log information, and check it in SM37.
    If you have some solution or code to share, please. Thanks a lot.
    Best Regards,
    Ben

    Hi Nitin
    Thanks for the reply. Could you explain it with some code ?
    I tried to use the write statement , but it did not wrok. I could not see the result in SM37.
    write : "start of the FM1 processing".
    FM1 code
    write : "end of the FM1 processing".
    but those two statement did not show in SM37..
    1) how to use  a information message  ?
    2) how to use NEW PAGE PRINT ON and PRINT OFF command. ?
    I would appreciate if you can write some code ,that I can use directly.
    Thanks a lot.
    Best Regards,

  • I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store. How do I "log out"

    I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
    How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
