Hi I bought an iPhone from my friend who forgot the username and password, and now my iPhone Aktyvyshn code and that it wants to register Forgot your password to her email, please guide me
You can NOT do so. Only the owner of the account used to lock the phone can remove it. Instructions for how to do so can be found within or linked from within the document I already linked to.
Activation lock is an anti-theft feature designed to make the device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.
If your friend refuses to give your money back and can not or will not remove the activation lock, there is a fair possibility that the phone was not theirs to sell in the first place. -

i bought my iphone from a lady at the mall but she didnt remember her icloud password well now i keep getting pop ups about the icloud password but she doesnt remember it and whenever i try turning it off it asks me for the password but i dont know it?
That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

I have bought an iPhone 3GS from a friend and it is locked in to Vodaphone, I need to unlock it as I live in Spain and my friend is in the UK. Do I need to contact Apple with the IMEI number to have the phone registered to me or do I just contact Vodaphone? I need to do this asap so please help?
Only Vodaphone can authorize the unlocking of this phone. Apple can't/won't help you.
However, Vodaphone, like most carriers, will only authorize unlocking for customers, obviously not you. You need to get your friend to request that Vodaphone authorize the unlocking of this phone. -
my iphone is disabled. how do I restore it?
You'll have to use a computer to restore your phone. If you hold down the home button while plugging your phone into your computer itunes should recognize that it is in recover mode. Then you'll have to restore the phone as new.

I came across a 5th gen iPod touch at a bus stop, and tried but cannot activate it, as it is under the Find My Phone/ Activation Lock.
Since I do not know who the previous owner is, is it possible to get around this roadblock? Or is it just no good to try?There's no way to get around it. Turn it into the police so they can find the rightful owner. You won't be able to use it anyway.

i bought my phone from a friend who lived in china and would now like to change the phone to allow me to use the internet in south africa
If it is a genuine iPhone 4S (I know many people who have been duped by the cheap Chinese knock-off) then it should be unlocked for use with an SA SIM card. MTN and Vodacom both use the APN "internet", and you may find that if you are using a Vodacom SIM then the default APN is set as "iphone.vodacom.za". Change this by:
(iOS 6+) Going into Settings > Mobile Data > APN Settings and changing the APN to "internet".
(iOS 5<) Going into Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network and changing the APN to "internet".
I'm not sure what the APN is for Cell C, 8.ta and Virgin but I'm certain they are the same.
Hope this helps. -

You can't. Have her reset her password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

I bought a ipad2 from a guy who bought it from someone else and the original owner never signed out of his icloud account and not it is locked is there a way i can reset it to my account?
Return it and get your money back. Unless you can contact the original owner and get them to remove it from their account you will not be able to activate it and use it. There is no way around this.

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.
This could be a couple different things.
The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
Is she able to get signed in at
Appleid.apple.com
and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
How many devices are registered to that Apple ID? -
My mini died. bought one used from a friend... all of my songs and books are on my iPhone, and I cant figure out how to get them onto this new computer. this is frustrating. the things i really want are purchases I've made from itunes store... help
!!!!!Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Hope this helps,

I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.
Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked. -
I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!
When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
No promises.
