HT201365 erasing device is enough to bypass Activation Lock for new owner or unregistering it is required too?!!

I sold my ipad mini a year ago and of course I erased it, but it still is in my products list and haven't Unregistered it yet. So my question is that, Erasing All Content and Settings is enough to bypass Activation Lock or device should be unregisted too?

So if I hadn't sign out my device, and my friend would have restored it, in that case Activation Lock would be required? right?!

You don't. If you cannot locate the original owner, then the device is useless to you. If you purchased it from someone, try returning it for a refund, otherwise it is an expensive paperweight. Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

My external Time Machine disk is almost full. I know TM is supposed to erase the oldest back-ups to makew room for newer ones but is it safe for me to just erase the back-ups from 2 or so years ago to make room for TM as well as anything I might want to

Time Machine makes room for backups as necessary in a complex and sophisticated fashion, and it's not something to mess with lightly.

How do i bypass activation lock on iphone 5s

I got a Iphone 5s from my friend and its stuck on the activation lock screen i dont know the email or password and I need help

If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to get him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.

How do I erase my iPhone 4 data and activation lock remotely?

I sold my iPhone 4 and was completely brain dead - I didn't erase my phone data. The buyer is remote and is being asked for my passcode. I've gone into Find my Phone and erased the data, which will happen once it's connected to the internet - however, he can't connect to the internet without my passcode.
Is there a way to remove the Activation Lock and erase my data remotely without the buyer seeing any of my data? Everything I have seen suggests removing the iPhone 4 from my Find my Phone first, and then erasing the data. How does this work if I have removed this phone from Find My Phone? I'm unsure how I can erase the data remotely if I have turned off Find my Phone.
Any insights?
Thanks

Is Find My Phone turned on?
You'll have to login to iCloud.com, from any computer, locate, then erase your phone. Once done, restore from backup, if you have one.
That's the only way for you to fix this.
It's will not work if the phone is not connected to the internet.

One-time activation fees for new customers and 'My Support Cases' hyperlink

Team,
I'm a new customer to verizon and I have requested only for internet without any invisible charges. And the cutomer care provided a non-contractual internet plan only for 39.99 in addtion to the device charges and one-time activation fees can be waived since verizon kid is already placed in my apartment since verizon identiified our address as "Priority Service" address.
However first month bill come with $23.33 charge for one-time activation lue for next 2 monts. I really appreciate if the activation fees to be waived since I opted verizon instruments and installation is already done since it all readily available.
I tried to search for "My Support Cases" Link, i really frustrated and till now I'm not able to find this, not sure whether its hidden somewhere only for verizon customer care

You do not have any support cases, so you cannot see that board. Just a friendly reminder, this is a forum where users help other users. It looks like your issue may require a Verizon representative to review your account details.

Erase and Install.. Is it now ready for new owner?

1 )   Hello, i think i saw the answer to my question in a previous post but as it is the first time i have installed a system i would like to make sure i understand properly. I am preparing a computer for sale or giveaway. At the end of the installation it carries on to the Welcome /Registration process, i presume it is at that point i stop, which i did, what baffled me was that there was no way to exit the page and no way to shut the computer down. I turned it off at the power button, is it ok now to pull the plug? And when it is turned back on will it start at the Welcome page and the new owner go on from there?
2 ) Before doing the Erase and Install i had a play around with removing my account. I deleted all private data and browsing history and anything i could find to delete, disabled auto login then i set up a fictitious account and used the admin rights given to that account to remove my proper account. That was all good except when the computer started again it still displayed my name on the panel that comes up saying e.g Joe Bloggs computer.   Is there a way to remove my name from that panel ?   The reason i ask is that a computer can be given away with the OS still in it ready to use with previous details removed but the new owner wouldn't want to see a previous owners name come up.( It didn't appear on the accounts page)
The name must have been put in during the configuration process, how or at what point do i avoid it or perhaps choose just to enter something general such as " my computer" ?    Thanks .

Gidday or i should say good evening.. i didn't leave a computer behind(?)... Before i did the Erase and Install i had as i described it a "play around". I think it was at that point my name still appeared on the start up pane. Then i put the disc in and yes the first time it was just an Upgrade ( i didn't realise) 10.3 to 10.4. I had a look and found the option to Erase and Install which has been done, it will have erased my name but that wasn't the first question... there was no way to exit the Welcome process so do i just pull the plug (its currently just been turned off at the machine itself) leaving it at that point of Welcome/ Registration, and is it now ready to go to a new owner?
As to the other query i am just curious to know if is there a way to remove the name from that pane? I presume i filled in the name somewhere during the Welcome process.
Yes i am aware that recovery can be done and that Erasing etc is the safest way but there was nothing to be of concern on the computer. I wasn't even doing internet banking back on the 10.3.       I have 3 eMacs and will be keeping the other two.

Erase HD for new owner?

I'm giving my old MacBook Pro to my daughter. I want to give it to her "like new," so she can set it up the way she wants it. In Disk Utility, the option to erase is greyed out. Any suggestions? Thanks!

        Welcome screen and asks you to choose a country or region. If you want to leave

        press Command-Q to shut down the Mac. When the new owner turns on the Mac,
        the Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.

Thanks!
