How to clear iphone that belonged to someone else

I was wondering if anyone can advise me on something please. My brother has given my Mother his old iphone 3gs, do anyone know if I can restore this to factory settings for her to clear all his items and if I can set up a new account in her name on Apple/ITunes.
Thanking You

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem. Itunes reports that it's uploaded all the music etc.
    When I turn the match function on, it says "you are not currently subscribed to itunes match".
    I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • How to read my iCloud email from another IOS device that belongs to someone else?

    The other day I had to check my @me email on my brother's iPad.  When I typed icloud.com in the Safari app all I got was a "how to setup icloud".  I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up my email account on his iPad just to check my email once on his device. Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thank you!

    Theres a way you can do it ... But sadly, your brother should have a 3rd party browser installed ... I suggest iCab mobile browser ... Its only $2 and the amount of things yu can do with it is endless .. So here are the steps to follow to access ur @me account on ur brothers ipad ..
    1. Install iCab Mobile Browser
    2.  Go to settings with in the app (top-right corner theres a gear icon)
    3. Once your in settings scroll down and select Browser ID , then select Firefox 4.0(Windows).
    The above step makes icloud.com see as if yu were logging in from a windows PC ..
    4. Icloud.com will open and allow yu to sign in .. So now yu can have access to ur mail and notes and find my iphone and etc ..
    Works 100% , try it and let me know ... Other things yu can do with icab mobile browser are : download videos , files , upload photos to facebook and much much more ..

  • Still getting email to my alias that belongs to someone else

    This has been happening for a few months.
    Someone in whose main profile is in ICLOUD setup up an alias that was not kicked out as duplicate.
    I have owned the alias since @mac.com  ---
    I am deleting the mails as they come in -
    Received 2 today
    So if you Alias is not working and you have given it to someone - please ask them to stop using it.
    Meanwhile - as I just pick up mac mail through sync to my desktop - just noticed the shortcut to get into the web mail page is not on my menu bar - can someone give me page to find.

    Discovered that I have to go to each discussion and turn email notifications off, even though I've turned them off in my preferences.  No problems now that I've done this.  Thankfully, there were only a few.

    Hello AryanRajesh,
    It sounds like you do not have your Apple ID/iCloud password to activate your iPhone.  I recommend resetting your Apple ID password using the steps in the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Issued Skype number belongs to someone else

    Hello,
    I just paid for 3 months of Skype Number and the number they gave me already belongs to someone else. 
    How can I get a new number issued to me immediately?  
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Frances

    Hi, Hi, P_Everything, and welcome to the Community,
    You will need to contact Skype Customer Service to resolve this; you may need to have this subscription cancelled and refunded, and take out a new Skype Number subscription.  We here in the Community do not have the tools to do this.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware there can be problems reaching their customer support unit via the website.  If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    How do I transfer a project from someone else's FCPX, version 10.0.9, which I can no longer open, to my FCPX, version 10.1.4?

    You need all the project and event folders associated with the production. They need to be in explicit locations or they will not be seen my the application.

  • How can I stop someone from receiving iMessages on their old disconnected iPhone, w'hich is still active in iMessage, when the number now belongs to someone else with a non apple device!?!

    To further clarify my dilemma ....
    A friend of mine just got a new phone number on her LG cell phone.
    When I try to text her, my messages are going to someone else's iPhone.
    The iPhone has been deactivated off the VZ cell network, but they are still using it on WIFI.
    They used to have this number on their iPhone, and it's still active in iMessage.
    So, when I try to send a text message to my friend on her LG, from my iPhone,
    they instead go to this total stranger, cuz they still have that number active in their iMessage account.
    This is a serious issue!!
    The only suggestion I get from apple support is to have my friend get a new number, or for me to turn off iMessage when I want to text her.
    Not really the optimum solution.
    Something really should be done to prevent this from happening!
    Strangers are effectively intercepting text messages!
    Help!?!

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

  • How can I transfer a call to someone else?

    Hi all,
    how can I transfer a call (that I've answered and noticed that it's someome elses business) to someone else with Lumia 920 / 820 or 610? Is this basic function even possible?
    (It was with all the older phones).
    Please help 

    All the older Nokia phones you answer a call – you can put it on hold – call someone else, tell him/her that you are transferring a call – press  4 and hang up. Those two can continue the conversation together.
    That’s what I’m looking for.
    With Lumia I don’t want to be the 3rd wheel in the conversation... 
    I haven't found the way to end the call so that the others could continue (not even with conference call)
