    Without knowing the Apple ID and password that the deceased used you can't unlock the Activation Lock.

    Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    ...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
    I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

  • HT5312 How can I get an activation locked phone to its original owner?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5 on eBay that was locked with the apple logo on it (As told by the seller who said he purchased it from someone else.  So I had expectations of a possible Activation lock on the phone).  When I reset the phone, I found out that it was indeed Activation locked.  I have sent the seller a reply asking him to see if he can get his customer to unlock the phone (doubtful. It was probably stolen).  So my question is:  What is the purpose of activation lock if someone can not retrieve their old phone and their is no way to "indirectly" get in contact with the old owner through Apple to say, " Hey, I got your stolen or lost phone."  It seems more like a way to just say, "Huh, you got my phone, butnice try sucker."  Chances are that eventually an honest person might come across the phone and try to return it instead of being stuck with an expensive paper weight.  I did try to get a hold of someone at Apple to ask this question but I guess the line got dropped when I did not have $20.  I have left the phone on in the remote chance that they might try to locate it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi fmclemore,
    You have the overall idea of what is behind the Activation Lock. It is there primarily to deter thieves from seeing iPhones as an attractive target. If they can't use the device, it is pretty much not worth stealing it.
    People who have Find My iPhone activated do have the ability to see their phone if it comes back online. They also have the abiity to erase the device or to put a lock on it with a message. So keeping it on may be helpful for the owner. Hopefully they will put a message on it so you can contact them.
    Also, you can turn it into the Police if they will take it. Oftentimes people go there to see if they can retrieve their merchandise.
    You really should return it to the Seller for a refund. Where it came from or who the previous owner is should not be your issue. Remember, eBay has Buyer Protection with a money back guarantee, so if the device is unusable becuase the seller did not ensure that it was, you should be able to get your money back through eBay if the Seller isn't cooperating:

    Sorry you got stuck with a brick. But, again, the Activation Lock is there for the owner's protection. I would love to know the statistics for the theft rate of iPhones after the implementation of Activation Lock....
    Best of luck,

  • My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
    However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
    As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
    How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
    HELP! Please!
    James

    Here's one way

  • How can I get flash player on my ipad mini

    so I can play  flash games such as facebook app games?

    You can't.  Flash is not supported on an iPad. 
    However, there are some browsers in the App store that have some limited flash support for videos and the like. But not sure if they'll run facebook games.
    Search the store for Photon or Puffin to try them out and see if they work for you.

  • HT201441 Hi i bought a phone off of Craigslist and the phone was never deactivated by the previous owner. I cant contact the previous owner. How do I unlock it?

    Hi i bought a phone off of Craigslist and the phone was never deactivated by the previous owner. I cant contact the previous owner. How do I unlock it?

    Not sure.  It may also have never been reported to AT&T as stolen.
    It won't really matter.  The hardware ID of the phone is associated with the Apple ID and password of the person who originally activated it.  That is association is stored on Apple's activation servers and only the original owner can remove the association as discussed in the article you were reading.  Until that happens, the activation server will not reactivate the phone without the proper Apple ID and password being entered.

    Apple hasn't done anything. This is a security feature that you did not check to see had been properly de-activated before buying the phone.
    If there was a back door, it would be useless as a security feature.

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.
