I Bought an iphone from someone out of the paper and they didn't log out of their icloud account.
im not too sure how to fix this problem considering I cannot get in contact with them.
so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

If they left an activation lock on the device, you can't fix it but may be able to get a refund for the iPhone.

HT204053 I bought an iPhone from someone and I need to set up an iCloud account and it is not giving me the option? What am I missing

I bought an iPhone from someone and there iCloud account is still on the device. I would like to know how to skip this step or add my own. I have never had an iPhon before so I have no idea what I am doing. Can someone please help me????

Only the previous owner can help you. They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.

I bought an iphone from ebay however it is locked and i only have the email address but they wont reply to me. What can i do??

If the seller will not respond, contact Ebay and report the fraud. The device is most likely stolen.

That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

Keep in mind that just because a device may not be upgradeable to the latest iOS release does not mean it cannot continue to work just fine on the last update it did get. There will be many devices that were incompatible with iOS 7 that will continuing to work just fine on iOS 6 for a long time yet. There are many people still using their iPad 1 despite the fact it stopped getting iOS updates after iOS 5.1.1.
One way to safeguard your apps against future incompatible versions is to keep a backup of all your apps in iTunes on your computer. That way, if an update to the app comes out that is not backwards compatible with your iOS, you still have a copy of the last version of the app that was compatible with your device and your iOS release.

I downloaded tv shows from iTunes onto my iPad, but when I plugged into my computer it erased them from the iPad and they didn't get transferred to the computer. How do I get them back?

First, is your iTunes account on your computer, the account you set up your iPad with and the one you sync regularly with? If yes, just reconnect your iPad to your computer, via USB and open iTunes. After your iPad syncs, and you see the message that it's OK to disconnect, don't disconnect. Click once on the iPad from the left side of your iTunes screen. This will open your iPad in iTunes. You would then click on Videos and you'll see the TV shows you downloaded. You can choose individual shows, or choose to sync all videos to your iPad. After you've moved what you wanted back, click apply, then sync again and you should be fine.

I bought a iphone from someone and i think the driver and software has been removed. Is there anything on the web that i can download to reinstall the software i need to get it working again

Is there any software that i can download from the web to fix my phone? i bought it off the streets and the software and driver must have been deleted cause i can only get the itunes logo and i cant restore it.

There is no driver software on the iPhone that anyone can remove, per se. Why can't you restore? Is the iPhone not recognized in iTunes? If not, see:

Otherwise, please post back with details about the problem and someone can probably provide further suggestions.

I bought a phone today off Kijiji and now I can't get in it because I don't have the icloude account that this phone was registered with. The person I bought it from is not answering me. Please help me out.

There is nothing we can do, you will have to get a hold of the seller.
This is the new activation lock feature Apple implemented in IOS 7.

It's a bad idea to post the IMEI and ICCID numbers for security reasons and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
You can or can't contact the previous owner? If you can, please see

If you can't, I'm afraid your phone is useless.

I'm traveling from Ontario to BC via car and had my iPad in my bag with me in the back seat? Nothing out of the usual stopping for gas and when I
Pulled it out I noticed a huge crack and not sure what happen or what can be done please help

Accidental damage is not covered by warranty.
It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

HT1937 I just bought a gift card and it said they would send me the redeem code in the email and they didn't, how do I get it? This makes me furious because its just another little scam of theirs to pisss you off and make you wait a other week for the mon

I just bought a gift card and it said I could redeem the code straight away
Where is my rede code because it certainly is in the e ail they sent me

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced. Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts. But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore. It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical. But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

Someone else used my computer to log-in to their icloud account...

now I constantly get a pop-up that their session has expired and asking for their password...
how do I get rid of this????

sorry 10.6.8 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB memory (don't know why or if that would matter)
it won't give me the option sign out... I can click "forgot password" CANCEL or OK
as to Safari, I suppose I could continually quit and relaunch, but it would simpler to get rid the pop-up
I've just signed out... though I would think I'd signout whenever I powered my Mac down

If you bought a phone with a carrier plan, you can't "unlock" it. You will need to buy a factory unlocked iPhone.
