HT4528 How do i remove an existing apple id off an iphone 4s

help me

You aren't providing much info for us to go by so folks here are guessing at what your problem might be.
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

How do I remove an old apple ID off an iPad when you don't have the original user's log in information?

Hi, my company has recently started issuing techs iPhones and iPads. I have an iPad here we got back from an employee after termination. He gave me his 4 digit passcode to get into the iPad, I removed the passcode to unlock, and did a reset on the device. Turn it on, I get the "Hello" screen and the initial set up pages. I get to the page with "input your Apple ID" and when I tried to enter a new ID, it wouldn't accept it because the device had already been associated with a different Apple ID. The prompt it gave was to log in online with the original Apple ID and remove the device. Well... can't do that since the employee is long gone and that's not going to happen. So what do I do here? How do I remove it to set up a new Apple ID?

Without the ID/password, you won't be able to use it. Suggest you take it to an Apple store. They may have some advice.

How do I remove my credit card info off my iphone

I have an iphone 4 and it was working fine until the day I decided to use my MasterCard to download a song. Now I have $30.00 on my itunes card in my phone and it keeps going back to my MasterCard which has no money on it. Has anyone had this same problem and how do I remove my MasterCard info off my phone?! I've went through my AppleID viewed it, and it won't let me make any adjustments?? PLEASE HELP

By default, iTunes store/App Store purchases debit an iTunes gift card before an associated credit card. Are you sure this gift card was redeemed properly, & shows credited to your account?
You won't be able to select "None" as a payment method until you have a properly credited iTunes gift card.

How do I remove an unknown apple id from my iPhone which runs ios 7?

I have an iPhone 4 which has been upgraded to ios 7 and someone logged in with an unknown apple id and now find my iPhone is also turned on. I do not have the password so how do I delete my id? Each time I try it'd ask me for the find my iPhone password which I dont have. I would just factory reset it but I asked a few people and they say that if I reset it, it wont reboot or turn on due to some ios 7 security feature which just sounds stupid but I'm not taking any chances. Pleasee help!
And do tell me what would happen if I just factory reset it in my current situation..

Unless you know the passcode to the Apple ID to which the phone is locked, there's not much you can do. If you are the original owner of the phone, you can try contacting Apple to see if they will assist you. They will need proof of original purchase.

How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup).

The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.

Hello Shy guy,
You can try this:
1. Go to the iTunes Store or App Store
2. Scroll down, there you will see Apple ID: "your email" (below Redeem and Send Gift)
3. Tap on that button
4. Tap on Sign Out
Now you should be able to use another Apple ID.
