I bought an iPhone 5 from someone, how long does it take for his Apple ID to come off

I bought an iPhone 5s from someone second hand, he had put it back to factory settings but when I tried to use it it asked for his Apple ID and password, I contacted him to ask for him to delete his id from the phone, how long does it take after he does that for me to be able to set up the phone with my details?

This is what should have been done:

If the seller didn't do the above, you need to get the seller to do this. If you don't, you won't be able to re-activate the phone. It will be useless to you.
I suspect you may have been scammed.

The only solution is to erase the apps and purchase them through your own iTunes Store account. You have no legal right to those apps - the license is not tranferrable - and cannot in any case update them without the orginal purchaser's Apple ID.

How long does it take for your apple id to be lock

How long does your Apple ID can be lock for

What is the message that you are getting when you try to use the account ? If it's disabled then it will remain disabled until you get it re-enabled ; if it's locked then it will depend upon why it's locked as to whether Apple will unlock it when you contact them.
If it's disabled then depending upon the reason you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it, or if Apple have locked it, then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped?

How long does it take for an iphone 5s to go from preparing to ship to shipped. I ordered my iphone on sept 20 6:00 pm and right next to the "preparing to ship" it still says 7-10 days and apple already took the money out of my account?

Apple.com has notoriously given very accurate assessments of their ship dates. Keep checking back there for updates. The place to look is in the Store ... find the "Account" button near the upper right.

How long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase

how long does it take for the credit on the iphone 5 itunes to start declining after a purchase? I used a $15 gift card, it was redeemed, and it showed up in my itunes account on my phone but after buying songs, the credit did not decline from 15, even after I restarted itunes on my phone.

Nt sure on O2, but that seems to be a long time, you need to call your carrier and make sure they dont need to activate it. I believe they do.

HT201318 How long does it take for the storage to be upgraded? I bought it this morning and it still hasn't gone on?

How long does it take for the storage to be upgraded? I bought some 12 hours ago and it still hasn't gone on my iPhone 4

Hi Katie,
Where are you looking on your phone to determine how much storage you now have? Are you looking under Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?
If so, and it still doesn't show the correct storage, try resetting your phone. Hold down the Home and Power buttons and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Then check your storage again.
Post back with questions!
Cheers,

how long does it take for Iphone 5 battery to drain? its stuck in recovery mode

Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick. Drag and drop should be how this works. So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen). It appeared to upload just fine. So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone. And no document.
I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient? Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices? I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection. I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site. I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts. iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

There are three major portions involved in a restore:
1. Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
2. Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
3. Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed. We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone. It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

How Long does it take for a NEW PODCAST to appear in iTunes?

I was curious if maybe you know the answer to this question- How long does it take for a brand new podcast, once submitted to iTunes, to appear in the podcast section of iTunes? Does it really take 5 days? And, will I receive an email once it's on there? Thanks!
-hdtvguru

Hi,
I found the answer to this question after doing two podcasts.
It takes about week and half to be fully listed. When you first submit you receive an automated email. Emailed to the email address of your podcast feed. Then your podcast page is created for itune store and you receive another email that it's approved. You should receive this email sometimes two days after you received the first but it still won't be browse able until another few weeks(ie. listed in category). In the mean time don't remove your podcast feed file from your hosting account and don't make changes which will change the link to the feed you submitted.
The only other part I couldn't figure out was why podcasts episodes don't come up when keywords from episode sections of podcast feed are typed in itune search box.
-keep on keepin' on
