I bought a iphone 5s from a pawn shop and it has no sim and i cant activate it
iphone 5s ios 8.0.2 no sim cant activate
Not sure why you bought an iphone at a pawn shop, you're just going to run into trouble.
1. Find My iPhone Activation Lock
2. Do you even know if the phone is unlock to be used with different phone carriers?

I got a used iphone 4s from a pawn shop and I cant activate it because I dont have the past owners icloud info is there anyway to unlock it and put in my information?
Take it back to whomever you purchased it from and ask for a refund. There is no way to get past the "Activation Lock".

I bought an iphone 4s from a pawn shop,i need to check and make sure the phone is clear to be activated in my name,i was told you can check the IMEI number,i have the number,but what do i do with it?
Who is the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with?
If the carrier has a blacklist for lost/stolen cell phones, it would be the carrier you need to contact. -

My iPhone 5 can't ever find my wifi in my house unless I'm like 5-10 feet from it. I bought the iPhone 5 from Apple's site and my carrier is AT&T? My iPhone 3G's wifi was hands down better than the 5's. Apple needs to get their customers the solution ASAP because everyone will blow through their data plans.
Lawrence, I wish it were so simple. Many of us have tried everything you have suggested and much more. I have even tried two other routers at home. My phone connects to public wifi fine - have tried 3 so far with no problems. Even on my home router, if I remove security, no good. I read that ipv6 is necessary, and one of my routers does support that, but still no luck. The phone started out OK, with a small glitch that I though iOS 6.0.2 would fix. The glitch was slow throughput and failure to connect automatically to known networks, along with dropping the wifi connection when charging and sleeping. My big problems started after connecting through a range extender at home, but I've chased enough coincindental red herrings to feel that is not the issue. If it were, then changing my home router would have fixed it, or there is a serious software bug in the OS. I'm just not going to waste any more time on it. Hoping a replacement will do the trick, but I've also read that many replacements fail. Somewhere, I saw that up to 60% of iPhone 5's are having wifi issues. Can't remember where, but am looking for it. Meanwhile, ZD Net is reporting on it too. The scariest symptom I've encountered is that a few times, after resetting network settings, the "Join" button was disabled. Go figure.

i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.
Do what iTunes is telling you to do. Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you. Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them. Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.

No I cant do that as soon as I disconnect the usb plug it goes blank and when I connect it to my pc it doesn't light up so I assume it wont take a charge from my pc. When its charging from the plug and lights up it wont let me do anything it just says connect to ITunes and configure in all languages so at least its teaching me new languages lol :-]

Please help with my iPhone I bought from a pawn shop but have no contact with the previous owner so I cannot get past the icloud activation Please anyone help. it would mean a lot, I paid good money for this phone
Return it to the pawn shop and get your money back. The device is permanently locked and with the previous owner to unlock it you can never use it except as a paperweight.

I have bought an iphone 5 from cash converters. I'm waiting for a sim from my provider to arrive by post. I have left my phone on and twice it has turned its self off, is this right or is my phone seem faulty? I haven't been able to try the phone out yet as I didn't have a small SIM card. I'm worried as to why it would be turned off when I didn't turn it off.?.
If it turns off again take it back it,s not your problem ask for a refund or replacement

HT1688 I got an iphone from a pawn shop and it had a passcode on it... what do I do?
Not sure what to do because everything ive read says connect to the the computer you last used but obviously I dont have that computer so I dont knownwhat to do
If your friend went to the Apple store, then why are you posting here.
Why in the world would you purchase a phone from a Pawn shop, that has a passcode on it, that you don't even know what it is.
returning it to the pawn shop wasn't a helpful answer.
It's your fault for buying a lemon iphone without first checking it. -

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
