How do I unlock one of my business iPhones which was given back to me without wiping its contents.

You either contact the previous user for their icloud credentials or contact Apple and provide proof of ownership.

  • How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

  • I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.

    If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted.  The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync.  You need to use different IDs.  You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps.  But use different icloud IDs.

  • Basically... I had an ipod touch sync'd to my dads i tunes.. i then got an iphone and created my own apple id.. how could i transfer the media from my ipod which was used on a different apple id onto my own account without everything deleting

    Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
    Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
    If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID.

    A. Only if the device is online.
    B. Only if you set up Find My Phone before the theft.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • I recently buyed totally unlocked sprint iphone which was legally contract free and i am using that phone in india but i am not able to send sms .everything is working fine except sending sms. i have tried everything plz help me !!

    i recently buyed totally unlocked sprint iphone which was legally contract free and i am using that phone in india but i am not able to send sms .everything is working fine except sending sms. i have tried everything plz help me !! i have tried everything i.e. reset iphone /hard reset/network setting reset /sms service no i have also changed but i am still not able to send sms.. please help me as i am really worried .. thank you !!

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • How to take bake my data from an Iphone which is in recovery mode.

    Hi All,
    I badly need to take my datea back from my Iphone which is in recovery mode.
    here is my story, I went to a very important scientific conference and I was excited about using my Iphone to do all the tasks I used to do with paper including taking notes,writing contacts and taking pictures from the people names, presented papers and.... I got plenty of valuable information (what is the point of having an smart phone and still sticking to paper-based anti-trees world)
    then I came back home and start sync-ing my phone with my laptop(PC). since my iphone was downloading its new component from the web(as I checked "dont ask me again") while it was synchronizing and I went to sleep I am not sure that hibernating my laptop or that new component made my phone go into the recovery mode.
    after number of appointment with different app-stores, all "genius" staffs told me that they can only restore my phone by a simple click and nothing more.
    I can not believe that apple-store does not have any other tool than can communicate in lower level to take my data back. I feel that this best well known customer care does not care about the data people losing because of their bug. I would pay Apple store to restore my data if they provide this kind of service.
    I was told it is a common issue and if I try to use some online software then my phone will get out of its warranty and then they will not even be able to diagnose the problem later!!( which one is more important? cause or effect? when apple people already know the reason as a generic bug)
    I bought this phone in January and I was very happy with it until this thing irritated me to its most possible amount.
    It is very hard for me to accept that all my networking in the conference will be screwed up only because of the bug I was never told before about! I think it is not fair to not be aware of an usual problem to be safe and it would be the most lack of the customer care which holds an apple logo on it.
    Thanks,

  • How can I use one account on 2 Iphones?

    Hello,
    I want to use same icloud account on 2 iphones. The problem is with contacts, each iphone use different contacts and if I sync both phones with same account contacts mixes and is added from phone 1 in phone 2 and vice versa. 
    It is an option to separate the contacts and get them to each phone separately?

    If the person have 2 or many iPhones? Why does the person want to waste money?
    One iPhone can do it all.
    This is a very usual case if someone has a personal phone number and a business phone number. This is done for a number of reasons, including having a separate bill for the business number and so you can avoid taking calls on the business phone when you are technically "unavailable".
    Besides the group idea, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having two separate iCloud accounts for one's personal and business use. Just as with the phone number, the email contacts, email account, calendar, etc. can all be kept separate.
