Hogwash, as such is impossible.
Doesn't matter though, as you won't be able to use this phone, & Apple can't/won't help you.

  • TS1474 I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. All my purchased songs were replaced with what was on my computer which was nothing. How can i get them back onto my phone or computer?

    Hi, I have just tried to sync my iphone with my computer. I must have clicked the wrong thing, now all the songs i purchased through my phone from itunes were replaced with the itunes that was on my computer, which is nothing. Any ideas on how can i get them back onto my phone or computer? I can see them in the itunes store under purchases, but there are no options for me to download them again.

  • PleaHi, se help, ive just tried to sync my Iphone with my PC and it wouldnt allow me to for some reason. I disconnected and just tried to play some of my music from my Iphone and loads of my playlists have completely vanished, im gutted.

    HI, PLEASE HELP I'VE JUST TRIED TO SYNC MY IPHONE WITH MY PC, IT WOULD'NT ALLOW ME, LATER WHEN I DISCONNECTED AND TRIED TO PLAY SOME MUSIC THROUGH MY PHONE ALMOST ALL MY MUSIC HAS GONE PLEASE HELP !!!!!!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • After formatting my iPhone 6 cannot activate it with my apple I'd say incorrect apple I'd this I'd cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    After formatting my iPhone 6 cannot activate it with my apple I'd say that
    Incorrect apple I'd this I'd cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • Email cannot be used to unlock this phone

    Hello,
    I have recently changed my iphone 5 password and I accidently forgot it. A friend has managed to help me, but now I'm stuck again. I need to "Activate iPhone" but after I enter my Apple id and my password the iPhone returns this message:"Incorrect Apple ID,"*******@gmail.com cannot be used to unlock this phone"(I wrote my email as * for safety,sorry).I am worried that my Apple id is wrong and I can't manage to find the Apple id I used to activate my iPhone when I bought it. Can someone tell me how can I find the Apple id for this phone? I really need your help.
    Thanks,
    Sharon.

  • Cannot be used to unlock this ipad

    HI, can you help me please , I am in trouble
    First I restored my IPAD 4 then the ipad request "activate ipad by icloud account" .Second i entered my ID apple and it said "
    "[email protected]" cannot be used to unlock this iPad.
    help me please

    Welcome to the Apple community Roan.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Incorrect apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    Having a bit of a mare tonight. I have tried to restore from backup on my iMac to my girlfriends iPhone 5, I made the back up last night, and also backed up to iCloud  last night using her apple id and password. Now according to Apples advice, if iTunes says there is not enough space to restore, go to iPhone and delete all content and settings etc. I did this it asked for iCloud login details etc and I deleted all content, when I plugged in to iTunes to retrieve the previous backup, I cannot get past the activation lock because of password. I can login to iCloud OK, (the same ID used to back up to iCloud last night!) with password but it won't accept it. This is so stupid I don't know where to start, the phone is now completely bricked, and can't even be activated yet alone restored.
    She has had this phone from new but iCloud has always been a mess on this phone since iOS 7.
    Any ideas??

    This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s●●●●●@t●●●●●.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

    Hi I previously managed to set-up my iphone then lock it out by entering my passcode incorrectly too many times.  In the end I have to restore the phone via itunes (which took 3 hrs)!.
    I'm now trying to reset-up the phone, when I turned it on it remembered the previous icloud account the phone had been set-up with however it would not accept the password.  Its now saying this icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone.
    When i log into the same icloud account on the PC, the password works, however the find my iphone doesn't show this iphone as being connected.
    Any ideas on who I can get this iphone working again.
    Thanks Sadie

    You cannot Bypass the iPhone Activation Process.
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • "cannot be used to unlock this iphone"

    Hi,
    i restore my iphone to upgrade to ios 7.0.2 then this message display when i write my Apple ID
    "cannot be used to unlock this iphone" ..
    what can i do to open my iphone ???

    Give this a try (this is normally the proceedure when you want to sell the phone on).
    1st Turn the phone completely off.  Next goto http://icloud.com and log in,
    Next select 'Find My iPhone', select your phone from the dropdown list and select 'Remove Device'.
    Log out of your icloud account, Put phone into DFU mode, Restore phone and set up as a new iphone.
    Following the above proceedure will remove the activation lock
    Hope this helps
