You have activation lock engaged
See this to understand

unless you can contact the seller and have him remove the device from his Apple id then you will never get the iPhone to work
Apple will NOT help .This is an anti theft device that can not be broken
The seller had likely stolen the iPhone

HT1688 Hello, my iphone 4s has aproblem with the sound. The speaker rings for incoming calls/messages etc. However for non of the apps the speaker sound works anymore. volumebuttons also dont show the volume bar. Anyone has any ideas

Hello, can anyone help Me? I have a problem with the external speaker of my iphone 4s. It works when i get calls, messages etc but nit for any app. The headphone does still work. The volumebuttons also do not show the regular volume bar. Any ideas please?

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Dust or debris is causing iPhone to believe it is in Dock station.

HT4623 My Iphone 4 is locked with the plug in icon and will not go away. My computer is not recognizing the device. I have tried to reboot it but it's frozen. I was updating it to the new software and it came up with an error and said it couldn't update

I was updating my Iphone 4 with the new software and while it was doing the download and update, an error window appeared and it said it couldn't update and now my phone is frozen with the plug in icon. I have tried to reboot it, pushing the power button and the home button and nothing is working

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

HT4436 My ipad is locked with a warning message I cannot close. It says Not Enough Storage. This Ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough ICloud storage available. You can manage your storage in Settings. Below this is Close and Settings.

Also, my ICloud account only on my Ipad holds my last Apple ID, I have an Iphone and two ipads. How can I change to my current ID.

Hello Hoppayoppa
You would need to have the owner of that iCloud account to turn off. It can be done without them there. Check out the article below for more information. After that is done, you can put the correct backup on your iPhone.

It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:

If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure.

thx
The same way you would contact anyone. Call them, e-mail them, speak to them in person, write a letter. There are many ways to communicate with a fellow human.
No one here would have the contact information for a random seller of an iPhone.

Bought iphone but icloud lock

i bought an iPhone but it has iCloud lock on it. i managed to get the owners icloud id that's associated with their account. (j*****@i****.com)
he says he doesn't have access to the iCloud account and his recovery email because he hasn't used the account for a few years now. and deleted his recovery email. how do i get the phone unlocked?

Return it and get your money back. There is no way to bypass the activation lock. Only the owner of the account it's locked with can remove the lock.
If they are unwilling or unable to do so, it's a brick.
They can reset their password using Apple's online tools or by contacting Apple and speaking to someone in account security. If they can't do either of those, then there is nothing anyone can do.

Hello. I have a problem with the iphone. I had the misfortune of Smader it for a half years ago. but now all my pictures away. and I think it is a security various measures. what should I do?

iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
(Here's that part I'm bolding for you to reference): Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
Exactly. It keeps a collection of the most recent 1000 photos in your Photostream Album on your iOS device. That's the limit of the displayed images on an iOS device. Not the upper limit of storage. It's like the call history. You can have more than 100 calls, but only the most recent 100 calls show on the device. You can still get your entire call history from your wireless carrier. And you can still download all of your Photostream photos from Photostream using iCloud Control panel on a PC, or the iCloud option in System Preferences on a Mac.

My Photo Stream upload limits
The My Photo Stream limits below are established based on anticipated upload patterns. Currently, My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will be paused temporarily and you may see a notification message on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically after you no longer exceed one of the limits, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
You can upload 10,000 photos in a single DAY.

If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

My iphone 3g is disabled, its says connet to itunes,i tired in itunes but its says locked with the passcord .but there is no space to enter passcord

my iphone 3g is disabled, its says connet to itunes,i tired in itunes but its says locked with the passcord .but there is no space to enter passcord pls help

You'll have to connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore
After that follow this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

How do I remove the lock(with the circle around it) from the top of my iPhone? The screen won't display sideways.

How do I remove the lock (with the circle around it) on my Iphone? The screen won't change to the side view. I have no idea what button I accidently
pushed.... Please advise! Thanks, Amy

Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

HT4623 My iPhone is locked with the connect to iTunes logo on screen. I have connected and trying to restore but it is not working. I have turned it on and off but to no avail.

This has happened doing the latest software update. I think I accidentally deleted iTunes before doing the latest update in trying to make room on the phone when it came up with limited space.

It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
