HT201441 How do I remove activation lock?

I accidentally locked my sons phone as stolen and am locked out.  It is asking for an activation code that I don't know or have.

Try to log into iCloud.com with your AppleID, get sure the Device of your Son is connected with this AppleID.
Go to "Find my Devices" - remove the lost status by clicking on "my devices" -> device name and the litte x next to the name

  • HT201365 How to remove activation lock from ios7?

    How to remove activation lock from ios7 on my iphone4?

    The problem with Activation Lock is that there is no system for unbricking devices by their rightful owners, no Apple Court of Appeals.
    As a result of that, using Activation Lock will become the best way for disgruntled employees to take a parting shot after being fired. They will report their device lost, then turn it in and leave. After that, the company will no longer be able to use the device, even though the company owns it.

    The "lock screen button" locks the phone. It will not take you back to the home screen. Thus the difference in the nomenclature for the "HOME" button and the "LOCK" button...

    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.

  • How do I remove the LOCK on the Nano I-tunes screen ????

    How do I remove the LOCK that shows on the I-tunes screen when I plug in my IPOD (the IPOD sybol on the source list first turns red and then black when I connect). The list screen goes grey and I cannot delete or upload my IPOD. I have downloaded the new software on both I-tunes and IPOD. There is a physical lock shown at the bottom of the I-tunes screen next to the bar showing used/free space on the IPOD. My shuffle works fine.
    Thanks for your help. I'm leaving on a 2 week cruise tomorrow and want to reload my IPOD.

    What synch method is chosen in iPod Options?
    You may be heading for a software reload on the iPod. It's not difficult, but it does require reloading all the audio files as the process completely erases the iPod. Always grab the current version of the software from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
    Run that download, which installs an iPod program on your system. Then start that program from Start menu, All Programs, iPod... Connect the iPod, and tell the software to do a Restore operation.

  • Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

    Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

    I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How do you reset activation lock when original owner is not reachable?w

    How do you reset activation lock when original owner is not reachable?

    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

  • HT201441 How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

    Guys can you help me?

    No. You have reached Activation Lock, a security feature that can only be signed out from by the original owner. Not even Apple can help you out with this.
    Sorry but the device is useless. Seeing you cannot contact the previous owner then a refund also seems impossible which would have been your only other option.

  • 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.

  • HT1212 I lost my itouch, how do I use "activation lock" feature? How do I know if my itouch was an ios7?

    I lost my Itouch and read that if it was an ios7, that I can activate a feature that will lock it. Im not talking about the basic features of "play sound" or "lost mode" that are under the "locate my iphone" feature in icloud. I read that there is another feature called "activation lock" that only ios7 can do that prevents the thief from selling it or reseting it to factory settings.  I have my serial number so how can I find out if my lost itouch was an ios7? Thanks!

    Only the 5G iPod can get iOS 7. iOS 7 was released in September of this year. Onyy you would know if you have a 5G iPod and if you updated it to iOS 7

  • How can I remove activation screen if the person doesn't know the password or email ? but the phone is not stolen or anything, can apple unlock the activation screen?

    I need help!.-. Because I purchased two phone for 400 and the owners don't know the password or emails but I checked the esn to see if it was clean and they both are clean . They aren't stolen or anything I need help !

    You heard wrong.
    Apple will not assist you.
    You must get ahold of the original owner and have that person remove the phone(s) from their account. There is no way around Activation Lock.

  • How do I remove the lock screen photo?

    IOS 7.1.2, iPhone 5S... I selected a photo to replace the standard black color on my lock screen.  I don't like the photo and want the old look back.  How do I clear the lock screen photo?  The closest I can come is to select the plain black background, but it's not like the old one; it has some gray texture in it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Remove activation lock

    I bought an ipad 2 for my daughter on ebay and when I went to set it up, it says "This ipad is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this ipad."  I've tried to get in touch with the seller with no luck.  This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my daughter and now it is $300 worth of nothing.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Unless the iPad was advertized as being Activation Locked, open a claim
    with eBay to get your money back. As Diavonex stated above, there is
    no way around the activation lock.
