I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 THE PERSON FORGOT THE ICLOUD ITS AN OLD MAN SO IT HAS ICLOUD LOCK WHAT CAN I DO
I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 5 FROM OLD MAN HE FORGOT HIS APPLE ID N PAWORD O I DONT KNOW WHAT 2 DO??
If the person doesn't know the ID, they can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If they don’t know the password they can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.
If they can't or won't do this, get your money back because the phone is useless to you without it. There is no way around this and no one else can help you.

Hello, I'm visiting in the USA and I bought an iTunes card. But when I enter the number it says that its not compatible with my Canadian account...What can I do?
Return it or give it to someone in the U.S., then buy one in Canada when you get home.

is the a way to reset a ipad if you forgot the uset and the password
If that ipad is running iOS7 then no, you cannot wipe it without the user's Apple ID and pass word....which isn't usually something a person forgets. The cynic in me would be very suspicious of a person selling a device that says they have no access to the password protection on said device.

My friend bought an iphone 5 with ios 6 installed and he was not told it was carrier locked. what can he do since he doesn't know the carrier?
And there lies his problem.
As I said, call AppleCare and they will let him know which carrier it is locked with. Then he needs to contact that carrier and see what their unlocking process is and if he qualifies. If he doesn't he needs to return the iPhone and get his money back. -

I bought a iphone 4 on online . But the guy forgot the his apple id pasword and i cant restore the iphone cuz i need the password is their any way i can restore the iphone . ??
iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone. -
A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

Not if you have FindMyiPhone enabled.
Aren't you usign the same AppleID/Password as you use to post here?
Or did you already create multiple AppleIDs? and you want to create yet another?

Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?
The warranty is not and has never been International. Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin. The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

How can i unlock my unlock my iphone 4 i forgot the password?
how can i unlock my iphone 4 i forgot the password?
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

Soon iphone 4 in 16 gb will be discontinued in india. I bought my iphone this september with the above mentioned specifications. What will happen if something went wrongh my device when it is under warranty
Just because the iPhone 4 has been discontinued, does not mean you won't get warranty service. You will, & if your phone needs replacing, under warranty, it will be replaced with an identical model.
