HT201441 how can erase a device if i dont have any way of contacting the previous owner? the phone was bought broken off craigslist. I had it fixed now I cant access it due to the phone being locked to there icloud

is there anyway i can remove my iphone from previous owners icloud/ itunes account. if i cant contact them? there has to be something that can be done . the phone is use less if i cant link it to my on account. Please help.

If this phone you bought was already running iOS 7 and had the new activation lock enabled, you can't do anything.
That's the whole point of the feature. If it could be bypassed it would be a pointless feature.
If you can't get the previous owner to unlock it, you've wasted your money.

  • HT1267 what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and you dont have any way to get the Serial number what do u do

    what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do

    If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there.  It's tiny, but there.
    When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours.  If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair.

    Geez, that's pretty boneheaded, IMHO.  Just goes to show one of the major flaws of the App Store model of distributing software...  You can't get older versions of software, no matter what.  >:-(
    I agree!

    You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.

  • How can i have any way to get the session entity?

    HttpSessionContext.getSession(java.lang.String sessionId) is Deprecated,how can i get
    the session with sessionID?

    I have even hard situation that I need the getSession(String sessionId) method badly. I don't want just simply invalidate the session when user logoff. the problem occurs when user press X to terminate the browser abnormally or user's machine has power failure, or machine rebooting in the middle of running application. If any thing happens, I need to release the resource such as DB connection, record lock and so on so forth. In other word, I need to monitor if user no longer using the session. Is there any way I can do the clean up job? The question will still be is there any way I can get HttpSession object by using sessionId? It will not work If I save it on server side HashMap. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

  • I will sell my touch. how can i make sure that i dont lose any data but the buyer does not access my info.

    i will sell my touch and get the new one. how can i transfer my apps and ID to the new one and erase my info from the old one?
    thanks!

    Yes.  If you do it through the settings on the iPod and have an older iPod, make sure the iPod is charging either via a computer or wall charger.  It can takes hours to erase an older iPod.

  • In SQL server, how can I pass a date and return on any specific day of the week (e.g. Sunday/Monday/Wednesday, etc.)

    In SQL server, I want to be able to have a function to return the date of any specific day of the week by passing two parameters. E.g.:
    parameter 1: a selected date (e.g. 8/3/2013)
    parameter 2: any specific day of the week (e.g. Wednesday)
    result: should be 7/31/2013 (8/3/2013 is a Sunday in the week 7/28 - 8/3, so the Wednesday should be 7/31/2013)
    then if I want to get Saturday of that week, I can simply change the second parameter to 'Saturday'
    Thanks.

  • How can I migrate my data from one user to another (to eliminate a previous owner's shortname?)

    I purchased a Macbook Pro second hand a couple of years ago and whilst I immediately changed my user name, didn't realise that the previous owner's short name still exists (I was a bit of a Mac virgin at the time!). I now have tonnes of documents, applications, settings, bookmarks, etc. which are assigned against the previous owner.
    I've now bought myself an iMac and before I migrate from the older machine to the new iMac, I wish to remove all trace of the previous macbook pro owner.
    In researching how to change the shortname user, I've tried virtually everything and everytime have to resort to time machine to restore my settings, desktop, etc. I simply cannot get this to work. Even what seems quite a comprehensive article and procedure didn't work i.e. "full monty" section of the following: http://www.macworld.com/article/1132693/changeshortusername.html
    Having failed miserably using different techniques and subsequently having to restore three times from time machine which is costing me hours upon hours, I'm absolutely frustrated at how to do this ... all I want to do is migrate everything to a new user account and delete the old user and previous owner.
    Surely someone out there can provide a fool proof, simple and effective method to migrate the user data and keep intact? 
    Please help if you can!

    The only possible downside to this is, the transferred account may lose permission to the files on previous backups.
    Actually, there is a way to prevent that, also a bit odd.  On the old Mac, go to System Preferences > Accounts and unlock the padlock.  Control-click (right-click) the account you want to delete in the sidebar and select Advanced Options.  That will bring up a window like this:
    DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THAT WINDOW.  Just note the UID number.
    When you start up the new Mac, the first account created (during initial setup) is automatically assigned #501.  The next is 502, etc. What you want to do is, after creating the first account, Restart and set up one or more temporary accounts in a way that will include that number;  then set up an additional one (an Admin account with the identical names as the one you want to trash).  Then log on to the additional one, delete the temporary ones and Restart your Mac (to finish clearing the numbers).
    Log on and run Migration Assistant as above.  That way, you'll get the prompt to rename it as above, but the UID it has will not be a duplicate, so Migration Assistant can transfer it "as is."

  • HT4905 i have a macbook air 13-inch,which i bought from a friend before he left for the us and he forgot to give me his password,how do i operate it since i dont have his tel no in the us, how do i cracked the adm/passwords

    i bought a macbook air 13-inch, from a friend who left for the us meanwhile i was at sea when he left so i could not get in contact with him
    and so he left it with my sister,now i come back from the sea and met the machine with a password and i cannot install or save any work of my own except
    i open the password and i dont have his number in the states. what can i do? pls help me

    Hello.
    try this
    1- You have to restart your MBA holding down the Command+S keys, and this will take you into Single User Mode and it’s Terminal interface.
    2- Then you have to check the filesystem. to do this you have to type the following command in the terminal interface:
    fsck -fy
    3- Then you have to mount the root drive with write option enabled so you can apply and save any changes. Type this in the temrinal interface:
    mount -uw /
    4- And then type this command exactly as you see it here:
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    5- Reboot your MBA by typing this in the terminal interface:
    reboot
    6- After you reboot, you will be see the “Welcome Wizard” startup screen. Follow the wizard and create a new user account. This new account name must be different from the onewhose password you want to recover.
    7- Continue and boot into your Mac OS X with the new account you have just created, this new user account is an Administrator and has administrative access
    8- Now that you're logged in, go to System Preferences
    9- Click on Users & Groups
    10- Click on the Lock icon and use your newly created user name and password if asked. This will allow you to make changes to other user accounts
    11- On the user panel select the user account whose password you have forgotten and then click on the Change Password... button.
    12- Enter your new password
    13- Reboot/restart your MBA and now you can log back in with your old account. If you want you can delete the user account you created following this steps.
    Hope this helps.
    Good luck

  • HT201407 how to activate old 3gs if you dont have original sim and it is 3 years old phone?

    hi i get old iphone 3gs with serial:86012TPT3NP and now after update to 6.1.3 cant activate it because i dont have original sim.i need to know if apple unlock this device after conctract end or not.Iphone is 3 years old.
    b.r jernej

    Apple cannot unlock iPhones themselves. You must contact the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and ask about their requirements for unlocking and if you qualify arrange the unlocking through the carrier. You will need a valid SIM, either from the original carrier or another carrier, to complete the unlock.
    Regards.

    please please can sombody help i cant understand apple good mind to change items

    I have NEVER had a password for my iphone and I bought it outright. It asked me for a passcode and now I have been locked out of my phone. I will have to restore it but this is very annoying. Why ask me for a passcode when I have never had one? And why change my settings straight up after I download ios7?
    Very frustrating.
