HT201407 I am unable to activate my phone since putting in recovery and restoring it. Its still logged to prev owner for some reason. HELP
I am without a phone after restoring it. Apple told me in order to get rid of the previous owners link to this phone i had to put it in recovery mode and restore the phone. WellI've done that and now i get a message that says this iphone is currently linke to an apple id. Sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this phone. I cant sign in with that id as i dont have the username and password. I bought this phone second hand and now i cant even use it. Can anyone tell me how to activate it and or delete the previous owner?

That's a feature of iOS 7.0 Beta, which cannot be discussed here.

Without knowing the Apple ID & Password, you can't. There is no workaround.
Good luck.

I upgrade my iPhone 3gs from 4.1 to 6.1 but i am unable to activate my phone now
I upgrade my apple iPhone 3GS IOS from 4.1 to 6.1.4 but now i m unable to activate this phone, and there is no sim card is accepting by this phone.
please help me to solve this issue as soon as possibleSounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

i have been using a jailbreak iphone 3gs. recently i have officially unlocked. i have updated the os. but i am unable to activate my phone. it says no sim card installed. cud u help?
Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock. -

For some reason I am unable to download apps. I have downloaded several apps in the past but all of a sudden my I Phone 4S will not download. I have totally reset my entire phone but that didn't work. My account shows that I purchased the app but it just appears as a grey square on my home page. Even tried other apps but nothing. Any suggestions?

i earesed my iphone 4s, and reset it ,so they ask me to activate my phone, after puting my username and password they told it's not correct.
Did you purchase this phone new or second hand.
If second hand you probably ran into this Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support
you will need the original owners info. Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support -
I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?
My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode. -

my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?
Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone. -

I have downloaded all of the recent upgrades for both Itunes and Iphone. Now for some reason, not all of my songs in my playlists are transferring when I sync. Previously I have had the songs in the playlists on my phone, but now some of them are not there although they are listed and show in Itunes. Any ideas?
iTunes will only copy back iTunes purchased music. If you don't still have a copy of the music that you copied from CDs or bought from other stores anywhere (e.g. on another computer or on your backup of your library) then there are some third-party programs listed half-way this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

My husband and I both have iphone 4S's and for some reason he gets my text conversations w/ other people. We share the apple ID and I have my settings set to and from my phone # and email address. He is getting tired of being apart of text messages I am on. How do we remedy this?
Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?
You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.
