How do you figure out what email an Iphone is synced to?

I got an Iphone from a friend and was trying to get all my stuff on it and it told me I first had to type in the email and password that was used to set it up, we have tried every possible email we can think of. Any way to figure it out?

Sounds like you have encountered Activation Lock, and you will have to enter your Friend's iCloud/Apple ID and Password in order to get past it:

  • How do you find out what application is generating a plist file in your preference folder?

    I have had two similar warnings come up in Drive Genius 3, a program that I use to manage my drives.  The warnings occur during a daily verification of preferences on my main drive, a 256GB SSD. 
    They state:
    "The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/com.analogsolutions.Football.plist' may be corrupted."
    "The preference file at '/Users/me/Library/Preferences/org.machinedevelop.National.plist' may be corrupted."
    Per Drive Genius' advisement, "Corrupted files can cause appplication crashes and should be moved to the Trash." I delete the files, however they are regenerated each day. 
    Q: How do you figure out what application is generating a preference file?  And is there a way to tell if this is a OS generated preference file? 
    I have searched online and cannot find any information about either Analog Solutions or Machine Develop nor am I able to discern what these particular .plist files are for... 
    Q: Are these two .plist files truly potentially harmful?
    Thanks for the Help!

    Hi Everyone, sorry for the late response.  I have been monitoring my Preferences Folder; every moment I am on my computer trying to catch what application/process generates these files.  I was hoping to try your suggestions, but oddly enough the offensive .plist files have not returned since the last time I deleted them about a week ago.... strange...
    In any case, I have responded to some of your suggestions and questions that I have information on:
    X423424X wrote: Ok, can you double click the .plist file?  If so it should attempt to launch the Property List Editor (in your Utilities folder).  That way you can look at stuff in the plist.  Maybe (hopefully) there's something in there that can shed some light on who is creating it.   If Property List Editor cannot open the file (some apps create files that have the .plist extension but don't actually create the proper XML format -- probably what ProSoft was alluding to) then try opening it with a text editor.
    The .plist file when opened in text editor contains a string of (what to me seems to be) an arbitrary list of numbers.

    Yes, seems likely...
    Linc Davis wrote: It should be fairly easy to find out what application is creating them, if you really care. Move the files to the Desktop, then log out. Log back in while holding the shift key as you click the "Log In" button. That will prevent your login items from loading, among other things. Open your account preferences and launch the login items one at a time by double-clicking them in the list. After each one, check to see whether the files have been recreated.
    Ran through login, one by one, no luck in identifying the application(s). 
    X423424X wrote: Another thought, lock the plists on the hope that whatever is using them will "choke" and complain about it (no guarantee that will work but worth a try).
    Thanks, the lock idea is the one I will try next if they ever reappear...
    X423424X wrote: Also, I don't recall if I asked this but if those plists are deleted while logged in will they be recreated during that same login session.  Or do they only appear after you deleted them and then and then logged out and back in?  Or do you have to reboot to recreate them?
    Unfortunately I do not know for certain.  Though from all my login/startup/reboot tests I believe that they are not directly linked to starting up the machine or loging in either.
    I'm not really certain why the .plist have not returned.  I haven't uninstalled any programs, though I did run a couple updates for some widgets within the last week; however that was about 3 days after I deleted the last set of .plist files and usually they reappered everyday.  In any case, given that they have not been regenerated I guess my problem is solved per se, at least I am no longer getting that annoying warning everyday.   Still, it's a bit of a mystery  
    Thanks again for all the help!

  • HT204053 how do I figure out what my icloud id is if it isn't my apple id?

    how do I figure out what my icloud id is if it isn't my apple id?

    Your iCloud ID is your Apple ID, but to use the Apple ID as an iCloud ID you need to enable it first (set it up) on a Mac or iOS device.
    See
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    Set up iCloud on all your devices
    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    As hinted in the title of this question (HT4895) you can use a different Apple ID for iCloud, but it would still have to be an iCloud enabled Apple ID and it's preferred to not have multiple Apple IDs.

  • My iTunes is no longer working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes.  How do i figure out what is gone

    I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.  I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately.  I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what.  How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
    I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

    I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.
    Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

  • How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    Hi,
    Here is help for the operating system:
    If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
    Hope this helped.

    How can you find out what computers you are sharing with so you can delete some

    Oh, have you brought up so many good points. Not to take us off-topic, but I could rant all day about Eloqua consulting firms who let low-level employees (Eloqua skill-wise) loose on clients projects. Just not fair for either the employee or client. There was one company that did this to me a few years ago, and since then dozens of people have asked me about them for a reference.  Needless to say, they never get a good one from me, and have likely lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in projects because of this. Not worth it in the long-run to cut corners.
    Back to the topic at hand....
    You really hit the nail on the head in so many ways. It really all does come down to one thing: hard work. There are no shortcuts. Always keep learning. Embrace every Eloqua challenge you can, and never say never.  Never be fearful of being wrong by asking something 'silly', or 'looking stupid'. I remember several times that I've submitted Eloqua support tickets, or tickets to other related vendors about things that I was convinced were bugs/major issues. Turned out to be my mistake. But that's ok. You brush off, stand back up, and learn from them.
    And finally, be modest.  You will never know everything about Eloqua. Be willing to learn from others, and know that there actually may be a better way to do something than you may have spent days or weeks working on.
