Hello,
I had an iPhone 5 apparently the iPhone was linked to my Apple ID through "Find my iPhone".
A few days ago my friend upgraded to iOS7.04 and when the phone booted we see on the screen the following message:
"This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s*****@icloud.com).
Activate iphone
this iphone is currently linked to an apple id
Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone"
Unfortunately this is a very old account which I don't use anymore and don't know the password for that account, but when I signed in to
http://www.icloud.com/find with my new Apple ID. I saw the iphone 5 white 16GB under that accout and followed the manual to remove it so it
won't be linked to my account.
I have been waiting and also tried to restore the iPhone, still it asks for the old Apple ID...
What I can do to remove it and restore the iPhone?
Thank you in advanced.

so sign in with it, if you dont know it contact the owner
Peace, Clyde

Are you the original owner of this phone? If so sign in with the Apple ID and password you used when you first set it up.
Or did you buy is phone used? Contact the person you bought it from and have him/her correct the problem or refund your money.
You have encountered activation Lock that prevents stolen or lost phones from being activated. As stated the only way around this problem is to have the original owner clear the phone for your use.

Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You will have to find the person whose Apple ID is currently tied to the phone. Only they can remove the activation lock. If you are unable to find them or they won't remove the lock, then your phone is useless. Take it back to the vendor and get your money back if you can.

Fix this problem please fix this iphone is currently linked to an apple id need to know the way to fix it

Hello ,
Need to know the best way to fix this problem this iphone is currently linked to an apple id need to know the way to fix it
Best Regards

The ONLY fix is to know the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate the phone. If you don't know this info, then the phone will be useless to you. Apple can't/won't help you.
There is no other fix.

I have a second hand iphone 4. After I made an update, the phone asked me for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password. Well, the previous owner didn’t know too much about tehnology and he also didn’t erase the phone from his trusted device list because the settings were made by a friend of him. The owner couldn’t help me with the apple ID, he said he can’t contact his friend anymore. I have all the accessories (including the box) and a payment proof from the original owner. “This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.” What can I do? Please, help me with this! Thank you

Looks like you really need to return it back to the owner, who sold you device where settings were changed by someone else. I wonder if that is possible to steal phone, box and payment proof? The good part is if you do have payment proof from autorized reseller, you can contact apple and ask for unlock, but they will ask your payment proof, not someone else's. So if payment proof was "owner's" he is the one who needs to call Apple and somehow I am willing to bet he will not.

I just started having the same problem whe I type my Apple ID in it says could not activate because activation server is down. Did you find a fix??

This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

How can I restore this phone when it is linked to another apple account?

If you’re the iPhone’s original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

This iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID... Help!

My Husband was in the process of changing his password on his phone and ended up entering the password incorrect too many times causing his phone to be disabled. He took his phone to Apple and they wiped it clean and told him he would need to enter the icloud email that was used to set up the phone. I set up the phone when we purchased and the email that I am attempting to use will not work. Is there anything we can do in this case? I have read several blogs stating it can never be used again if the email is not entered correctly. Would it help to contact our Wireless provider? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jessica

Thanks Ralph.
You are correct, I did end up attempting to contact my provider and everything they offered to help led me to the same place I was. As far as the Apple ID I am using the same email and password and it still is not working. I am not sure what to do next.
Thanks!

After i updated to ios 7 and then downgrade to 6.1.3 on my touch 5 i saw this text on my display "This iphone is currently linked to an apple id. Sign in with the apple id that was used to set up iphone". I've tried to restore in DFU and normal mode. What

subj

Downgrading from a developer seed of iOS is not supported and often not possible. If you've tried restoring through DFU mode and are still having problems, ask for assistance in the developer forums you have available to you as an iOS Developer Program member and through which you can address issues with seed versions of Apple's software.
Regards.

If it has iOS 7 installed Activation lock will prevent using until it is unlocked by the Apple ID of the previous user
or that ID is removed by the previous owner from the iPhone

We are fellow users here on these forums. If you bought the iPad from another person and you are being asked for their id and password to activate it then you will need to contact that previous owner and ask them to remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

I reset my ipod and now it says "this ipod is currently linked to an apple id. sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this ipod".

ok. my ipod touch 5th generation 32gb spontaneously showed me the plug to itunes simbol, so i did, and i had to reset it to factory mode. done. when i start to set it up, it asks me for an apple id used to set it up, the thing is, this apple id was created by my smaller brother at the apple store, and he does not remember the password, neither the apple id, or the security questions, or the data he gave the apple guy who was helping him. basically, i have no idea what this account is. all i know is he affirms the apple id is [email protected] thats al i got. so, is there a way to get trough this? can i go to an apple support center and get the ipod set up? is it useless now? please help me!

If he doesn't remember the password or the Security Questions, he will have to contact Apple Support to have the Security Questions reset so the password can be reset:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

HT5621 Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID. I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod. How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?

Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID. I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod. How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please? I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
Thanks

On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

I have found a IPAD, searched everywhere to find the owner, facebook, Apple etc. I have now erased all data but when I turn it on it says the IPAD is currently linked to an apple ID. Can I override or delete this?

I have bought a new car and found an IPAD in the back seat. The dealer cannot tell me who drove the car. I serached everywhere to find the owner, Facebook, etc
I decided to erase all the data from the IPAD, everything went OK BUT when I tried to set it up, it asked me for the owners apple ID.
The message is "this IPAD is currenly linked to an Apple ID"
Is there a way to delete this account thus allowing me to use it.
If not, I guess I'll throw it away

Activation Lock is doing exactly what it was designed to do - preventing a non-owner from using the device as their own.
But why just "throw it away"? The dealership should be willing to tuck it away in their lost and found, as the owner may well show up looking for it?
