I bought an iphone 5 c off craiglist and when I got home I factory reset the iphone and now it ask for an Apple ID of the previous owner but the previous owner won't give it to me

Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Only the former owner can remove the Find My Phone lock and erase the device. That can be done remotely. Without this the device is useless to you because it will be permanently locked.

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?

Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

Some of my songs on iTunes on my computer won't play. It asks for my Apple ID which I enter to authorize the computer, then it tells me it's already authorized but still won't play. Ideas?

I just got home from work where my iPad was working normal, but when I got home I pulled out my iPad and there's nothing but a black screen. I've tried to hold on the on buttone and the start button on the bottum front of the screen and so far nothing Why

Unexplainable screen outage. Is there any ideas as to why a perfectly working screen would turn black and not be able to reopen? I was using at work, storeds it in my briefcase and when I got home I turned my iPad back on to work on my music files, but all I received was a black screen I've tried to hold town the on - off button at the top of the screeen and also the small button pad at the bottom of the screen, all with no changes. How do I get my iPad working again. I really depended on using this tonight. Any ideas?

Is the iPad charged? Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
Report back your findings.

I had my 4S activated at the store, but when I got home to sync up my phone and get all of my contacts, nothing is happening. I backed up my 3GS before switching phones, so it's all on my computer. Any ideas?

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account
Click: Edit Payment Information
Make sure you have the correct Security Code.
Then click: Done
And try resetting your Apple ID password. https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa

I accidentally left my phone unprotected during the rain. My phone got wet and when I got home the sound won't work and the next day it doesn't let me charge anymore. HELP!

I went out to join the amazing race challenge in my work. When we were almost to the end, the weather changed and it started raining. I put my phone my my backpack and got wet along with my other stuff. By the time I got home, there's no more sound and it keeps showing "SLIDE TO TURN OFF". Then the next day, I can't charge anymore.

You might consider a case like Otterbox or something similar for active events in outdoor use. They not only give good protection against drops but also protect from water. It's not meant to swim with take underwater pictures but really good for rain splatter or the situation you were in. Good luck.

I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano and I need to update my OS! How do I do this?

I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!

Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
Then buy DVD for that version.

I just bought a 5s and when I tried to sync it stopped saying my computer was no longer authorized for some of the items on my iphone. I went to store/authorize this computer and it said the computer was already authorized. How do I fix this?

I have the same issue. There are some suggestions to follow in the Apple support article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 They didn't work for me but they may for you. My old iPhone 3S and iPad 2 syncs fine with iTunes.

I recently updated to ios7, and synced my phone with my wifes itunes library. now, when I try to update my apps on my phone, I get asked for her apple ID password, instead of mine. We have tried re-syncing my phone to my itunes already

Resyncing my phone did not fix the problem. I also tried going into my store settings, on my phone, and logging out of my ID, and logging back in. It still shows her ID, but only when I am trying to update the apps that are already on my phone. I have to enter my own ID password to download new apps.
I deleted all of the apps off of my phone, and redownloaded them (from the Cloud), and that still did not work.
Does anyone know how to delete my wife's apple ID from my phone completely?

Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
All you need to do is delete those apps belonging to your wife.
Check Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > your own Apple ID here. If not, sign out here and sign in yours.

I just got a iPhone 5c. I am trying to activate icloud on it. It is asking for my apple id. I have put in the apple ID I am using for Itunes which itunes accepted it. Icloud keeps telling me my password or id is wrong. Can someone help me with this?

I just got my first iPhone. I really like it but it will not accept my apple ID. It keeps telling me the password or id is wrong. I know it is write due to I use it for iTunes and it works find there. Can anyone help me or do I need to call tech support?
Thanks

Ended up calling apple and got this fixed. Had to change id since it was made years ago with the old style of IDs.
