I bought an i phone and it tells me that i need to input an icloud account, I do not have a way to get the information from the person that it was purchased from. How do I reset this phone so that i can use it?

I have an iphone that is icloud blocked because i cought it second hand. I am trying to figure out how to use it. What should i do? How can i get rid of the icloud account without being able to access the phone?

You cannot use it until the previous owner disables Find My Phone and erases it. Until then it is useless. Return it to the seller and get a refund, if you can.

  • I pre-ordered an album and it says it was purchased in my itunes but it hasn't downloaded yet and I never got an email giving me a link to download it. Is there a way to get the link resent in an email?

    Hello KailaRy
    Check in your iTunes folder on your computer to find the files. If they are there, then drag on top of iTunes to import them in. If they are not there, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • I have a DLINK 524 150 and bought recently an airport express to extend my WIFI network. I tried by many ways to get the connection but it was impossibble. If possible, what is the necessary setup and orientation I have to follow ?

    In have a DLINK 524 and bought recently (march/2013) an airport express to extend my WI-Fi network. I triedmany ways to get the connection but it was impossible. Is really possible to get this connection ? If it is, what is the necessary setup and orientations that I have to follow ?
    Thanks

    Apple designed their "extend" feature as a proprietary function to work with other Apple routers, so it's extremely unlikely that the AirPort Express would be able to wirelessly extend your D-Link network.
    If you can connect the AirPort Express to the D-Link router using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can likely be configured to provide more wireless coverage that way.

  • I just bought an iPhone 4 a few weeks back. I tried to delete their icloud account, and add mine but it's asking for a password to delete it. I have no way to get in contact with them. Is there any way around it?

    There's no way around it.  The former owner needs to erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  No one else can help with this, including Apple.

  • Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?

    Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?
    As an example i have file contains 4 lines, xtext parsed this file and generated its model, then i made small modification in line number 3, so xtext partially parsed the file and generated another model.
    The question is could we get the nodes that has been deleted from the model?
    could we get the new nodes added to the model?
    could we get the differences between the two models?

    bean = StandaloneSetup {
    scanClassPath = true
    platformUri = "${runtimeProject}/.."
    // The following two lines can be removed, if Xbase is not used.

    registerGenModelFile = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.xtext.xbase/model/Xbase.genmodel"

  • HT1267 what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and you dont have any way to get the Serial number what do u do

    what if your iphone 4 does not turn on and u have no way to get the serial number what do u do

    If you eject the SIM card tray the serial number is also there.  It's tiny, but there.
    When my iPhone won't turn on I first charge it with a known good cable for a few hours.  If nothing after that I begin a warranty lookup for repair.

  • My iPhone was stolen then my icloud account was hacked and I have the email address it was changed to, how do I report this Gmail user?

    This morning my iPhone was stolen from me, I immediately called it and it had been turned off. So, I went right home to activate the Find My iPhone app on the website so it would call my other contact number. Then going  to my AT&T store I was told to go home and submit an insurance claim. Later this evening, I tried to access my iCloud account and I couldn't. Finally, I found an series of emails from Apple at 5:15pm and on verifying my Find My iPhone activation had been disabled and that my iCloud ID had been changed to  *********.  I don't know who the heck this person is, but they've managed to deactivate the Find feature and hack my iCloud ID email address. How can this happen? How do I get Apple and Gmail to prosecute this person? I still don't know the full extent of what has been hacked into. Does anyone have any helpful insight? Thanks
    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    In terms of your account the best thing to do would be to change the password.
    Also just letting you know that you aren't talking to Apple, the people here are Apple product users like yourself. If you wish to speak with Apple follow the link below and call the number for your country:

  • My i tunes does not have a ringtones option on the menu bar or under preferences.  How do I get this folder to show up?

    I am trying to use a short mp3 file as a ringtone.  So far every website has told me that all I have to do is drag the file into the "ringtones" folder that is located in the menu bar on the left side of I-tunes.  I don't have this folder.  Again, every website tells me to simply go to "Edit" and then "Preferences" and to click on the ringtones box and then the folder will magically appear.  My itunes is the latest 10.5 version but somehow I don't have this option.  What is wrong with my i tunes?

    Yep... strange move on Apple's part.
    The quick solution would be to get hold of a Concert from MS 2 with the right layout etc, and then open it in your MS3.
    Slower would be to make your own layout using Grouped Controls for the pedal layout you'd like, then assign to incoming MIDI as needed (Switches etc), then map to the effects controls in Edit mode.
    You'll need to be careful how you setup the Screen Control backgrounds.

  • What do I do if I lost my power cord to my iPhone 5 and there are no lightning cords or adapters available in my city or on-line at the apple store for 2-3 weeks?? My phone is going to die - I have no way to get the new power cord.

    I got the new iPhone 5 last week and have been happy with it. I went to the apple store on-line a few days later to order some adapters for the power cord, so that I could use it with my alarm clock and dock at work - although they are back ordered until nov.  yesterday I lost my lightning power cord and there are NONE available in my city and the apple store is till out of stock for at least a couple of weeks.  My phone now has 10% battery and losing last - what can I do to power my phone???? I use it for work, I need to have it working and available butndont seem to have any options.  Please let me know if there is another device I can use to power my phone!!

    Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

  • I re-installed Firefox on my laptop; but other users did not get the program installed under their log-in; how do I fix this?

    I recently un-installed Firefox on my Windows Vista laptop; when I re-installed it, the program is only available to me (the administrator of the laptop); two other users are not able to use the program. I've tried "right-clicking" on the Firefox icon, clicking on Properties, then Security, and adding the two other users to the list, but after clicking on "apply" and then "OK", the other users still don't have access to the program. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    First and foremost, learn punctuation and capitalization so we can read what you're writing properly.
