HT201441 i cant find the person who sold this iphone to me, and now i cant activate it

i cant find the person who sold my iphone 5 to me
now i cant activate it because it is still activated to his apple id

You have no options but to find the previous owner.  The Activation Lock is an Anti-theft protection that cannot be bypassed, not even Apple.  If you cannot find the previous owner, turn it in to the police as it is likely to be stolen property.

  • HT204023 i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    Fine, I understand that this is not an Apple-run or -sponsored site. But if you read through this and related discussions you are bound to find that the rollback of functional capabilities through the last 8-9 months of IPhone development has bewildered users. Perhaps the main reason personal hotspot is interesting is that it crops up in discussions about the sudden death of serious Bluetooth capability - unannounced and unacknowledged. It seems that some users have succeeded in getting some measure of the suddenly missing functionality back by fiddling with PH. Others do not find that option and remain unaided by serious information from Apple.
    Given that situation, and I think it has lots of parallels in other areas of IPhonery, it would have been natural for Apple to take an interest and say something, if not in this Forum, why not more publicly. The failure to do so is what I criticize, in particular because it seems calculated. And to feel that you, as a consumer, are being taken for a ride makes you feel like a mug, a poor, helpless moron, ready to be conned. That is not a feeling that breeds loyalty and contentment. Several of the contributions to the Forums express that feeling with less restraint than I have done.
    To boot, when I have spoken to Apple support personnel they are so completely unaware of the issues that they cannot possibly be meant to assist us punters in understanding what goes on. Now, isn't that precisely what a great con is about?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
    If you have this persons email address, try sending them an email and asking them to remove their ID as described above.

    HI All,
    When i am trying to book a conference room. it was showing the status a s busy in zimbra.But i am not able to find the person who has booked the room ?? how do i know the person who has booked teh conference room??if i can know that person i can negiotate with him abt the room.
    please tell me the way to find the person who has booked teh conference room ?????
    Thanks in advance
    Venugopal

    Hi Venugopal,
    If you add approvers using beekeeper for that resource AND that you use Outlook, you can see who is 'in charge' of that resource, ie the person that will hand over the keys to that room when you need them. That person is the only one who may be able to tell you who has booked the resource, you can then go and 'negociate' ;o)
    In Zimbra (1.5.1.5) you can't see the contacts..

  • How can I reactivate my phone if I cannot find the person who originally had the phone

    How can I reactivate my phone if I cannot find the person who originally had the phone

    You can't.  You need to contact the previous owner to get those log in details - this is the new activation lock and without it you will never be able to use that phone.
    You might have to start from scratch again and buy a new phone.

              theta=Math.atan((double)(deltaY)/(double)(deltaX));     
         if(deltaX<0.0)theta2=theta+Math.PI;     
         else theta2=theta;     
         lengthdeltaX=-(int)(Math.cos(theta2)*headLength);

    }i could only work out till the line

              deltaY=(y2-y1);     
              theta=Math.atan((double)(deltaY)/(double)(deltaX));    pls let me know if u are still reading this or anyone else who can figure out the later part of the code.
    thnx n cheerz

    I'm not the poster but these lines seem to compute the
    angle of the arrow line.
    BTW (to the posters): wouldn't the use of a
    Polygon be better suited for this purpose ?Looks indeed like it is calculating the angle to the origin of a line segment.

  • HT201441 i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

    hi i cant find a way to contact my iphone previous owner and its locked i need help

    There is nothing anyone can do for you.
    You need the previous owners password to unlock the phone. If you can't get that, then your phone is useless.
    Nobody, not even Apple, can unlock it for you.

    If you mean activating it as far as using it on your phone plan, then you're going to have to go to your cell provider and have them do that for you and add the device to your current plan. Otherwise without activating it, the most your iPhone will be, is a thick iPod. Of course with wifi, you could still send iMessages, but that's the extent without adding it to a cell plan.

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.
