How to get passed the iphone activation?

I just bough an iPhone 5c from ebay. The guy never used but he didnt activate it either. He gave me all his information but when i went to get it activated, they threw the origional sim away so now i cant get passed it without the old sim. What do i do?

Find someone with a valid usable sim for whatever carrier the device is on and activate it and then give the sim back. Or start service with that carrier.
Alternativley you could see if the carrier has "dummy" sims or sims that can be used to activate a device temporarily.

i bought an Ipad3 from an estate sale for 20 bucks previous owner passed away. i thought i had come upon the deal of a lifetime i felt as though things were looking up but ive tried everything to get passed the icloud activation, is there a chance this is still the find of the year for me or did i waste 20 dollars and fail again?

You can also use this website to check to see if a device has been erased or if it is still locked. This will not work with using a mobile browser on an iOS device. If you have a browser that can identify as a desktop version, it will work. If not, check it on a computer web browser.

Safari has the ability to identify as a desktop browser, but it's a little bit of a pain to get it to work with this website. You tap in the url filed, then pull down on the favorites window that pops up to reveal "Request Desktop Site".

JavaScript: How do you pass the currently active doc to a dialog in a menu item?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 11.0 Standard on Windows 7, and I'm having trouble with the menu item that I'm creating. The menu item calls a dialog that prompts the user to select a page in the currently active document. The problem is, I can't figure out how to pass the currently active document to the dialog. I scoured the rest of the documentation, did searches on Google and here in the Adobe forums, but haven't turned anything up. The AcroJS API gives the following solution (found under app/methods/execDialog):
This function attaches the Doc object to the dialog box, then passes the dialog box to the app.execDialog method. The dialog4 object and this function can be at the document level.
   function dotheDialog(dialog,doc)
        dialog.doc = doc;
        var retn = app.execDialog( dialog )
Finally, the following script can be executed from a mouse-up action, for example.
    dotheDialog( dialog4, this );
I did this exact thing, but in the dialog, the value of this.numPages still comes out as undefined, indicating that the current document still hasn't been passed. My own code looks like this:
function dotheDialog(dialog, thisDoc){
    dialog.doc = thisDoc;
    var retn = app.execDialog(dialog);
app.addMenuItem({
    cName: "Test Dialogue Box",
    cParent: "Edit",
    cExec: "dotheDialog(templateDialogue, this);"
where templateDialogue is the name of my own dialog, rather than dialog4. I'm not sure what the retn variable that they declare in the documentation is for, but I've tried it with and without that part, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know how to do this?

Sorry, here it is. It's also just a small modification of something directly from the API, which is why it still has the date bit in it.
var templateDialogue = {
initialize: function (dialog) {
    // Create a static text containing the current date.
    var todayDate = dialog.store()["date"];
    todayDate = "Date: " + util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
    dialog.load({ "date": todayDate });
commit:function (dialog) {    // called when OK pressed
    var results = dialog.store();
    var inBounds = (parseInt(results["tPag"]) < this.numPages);
    if(!inBounds){
      app.alert({
        cMsg: "Please enter a valid number for the page from which to make the template." +
        "\n" + parseInt(results['tPag']) + " = parseInt(results['tPag']) !< this.numPages = " + // I put this in to see the value of this.numPages,
        this.numPages,                                                                           // and it continues to be undefined.
        cTitle: "Page out of Bounds",
        nIcon: 0, nType: 0
    }else{
      var nButton = app.alert({
        cMsg: "Your template is named " + results["tNam"] + " and is made from page " + results["tPag"],
        cTitle: "javascript",

Side Question: Out of curiosity, how would you abort if the user clicks cancel? I get the feeling that they don't cover it because it's something you're supposed to already know how to do, but...I don't. Would you just put whatever action you want to take into an if ( button == "Ok" ) type statement so that cancel does nothing?

I bought an iphone 4 for about 2 years ago......i forgot my apple ID and my password because I didn't use it a lot....now I restored my iphone and it asks for my old apple ID and password ....please tell me how can i pass that ?

You can't get around it. You will have to enter the correct ID and password in order to activate it. If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

How to get past the grey start up screen after mavericks update

I have recently installed a free update of Mavericks on the App store. However after installing this, the Macbook Pro that i've installed on will not boot beyond the Grey start up screen. I was running Snow Leopard on a machine with intel core 2 duo processors 4 Gb of RAM and over 100Gb of free memory.
I have attempted a safe boot (holding down shift while while holding the power button down), and Reseting the NVRAM by pressing 'command', 'option', 'P' and 'R' at the same time.
I do not have an installation disk or a time machine back up.
Does anyone know how to get passed the Grey start up Screen?
Any Suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

Can you put a microsim with no plan in the iPhone 5 to get passed the Activation Screen?

I use a blackberry and I only bought the iPhone for music, camera..etc, and as a back up phone. I just want to get rid of the activation screen for good.

I know but if I use it ONCE to activate my phone(lets say I borrow my friends nano sim), will it get passed the set up screen?

Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

Hi ratcat14!
I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
