i bought an ipad from a friend but he doesnt know his apple id and password and is stuck at the activation screen what do i have to do to get it unlocked
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original 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. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. Are you sure the "friend" who sold you this iPad was the primal owner? If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to "your friend" and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

HT4528 Can you buy an unlocked iPhone 5 off of this site and have it activated for Verizon service?
I am wanting to buy a new iPhone 5, but I am not eligable for an upgrade yet so I'm planning on just buying an unlocked one. I don't know if I can, though, because it doesn't say that you can activate it on Verizon's service. Any help?
The iPhone 5 for Verizon is unlocked for GSM networks worldwide. So you need to get a Verizon 5 for full price.

As Lawrence said, time to take a look at your friends. If you friend vouched for this person, ask you friend if they are willing to refund your money. You will find out how loyal your friend was to which one of you.

Iphone 4 STOLEN today, trying to backup on 3G but don't know what I'm doing
My iphone 4 was stolen today while out at the pool and out of sight for literally 10 minutes. There are no iphone 4s anywhere at any of the att or apple stores here so am forced to order a new one and wait the 5-10 days. Luckily my dad still has his old 3G from when he upgraded to the 4. Question is, how do I get it to work? I restored his old phone and it gave me the option to choose my phone to backup on it, which I did. My photos and contacts are there and everything but it says no service...is there something else I am supposed to be doing?? Thank you SO much for any of your help, I am LOST without my phone!!

HI, I have Icloud all set up on my phone and PC. Where do I go to access all of my "merged" info including all of my pics? Where do I click? It took 8 hours to get it all up in "the cloud". Now what?
Open Contacts, look at the menu (on top of the screen) there is an entry for View, click it and from the resultant menu choose Group.
It's the 4th from left.

<Re-Titled By Host>You will have to find the person that you bought it from, he is the only person that can remove the phone their account : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.
You can follow these steps to save battery.
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
4. Turn Bluetooth Off- Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
5. Turn Off Location Services -
This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7). -
HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it
I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?
Get a refund immediately.
You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone. It is Activation Locked as described here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you. -
