I bought an iPhone on eBay and it is iCloud locked. Is there a way apple could contact the owner and see if it was stolen or lost with the Imei
Icloud Locked iphone
Apple won't do so unless a court orders them to. Ask eBay for a refund.

If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?
That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device.
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Is there any way to salvage contact info, media and call logs from an account that is currently suspended
Hello screamer666.
I definitely understand wanting to maintain your information. If you have suspended your account, you are still able to access your My Verizon online account to review contacts saved with Backup Assistant or media and call logs saved with Verizon Cloud. Are you having trouble accessing your account?

what i have to do to unlock my iphone? i try to restore it with DFU mode but it doesn t work . the phone ask me everytime the password :(
Hello vlady1994,
It sounds like you purchased an iPhone from an independant party online and you are running into the Activation lock asking for the original owners Apple ID password. The original owner will have to first reset their account password:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
Then they will need to remove the device from their account with this article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
2. Find my lost iPod Touch
3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets
4. What-To-Do-When-Iphone-Is-Stolen
5. iCloud- Use Lost Mode
6. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
7. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone

9. Report Stolen iPad | Stolen Lost Found Online
It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:

2. Setup your iDevice on iCloud
3. OS X Lion/Mountain Lion- About Find My Mac
4. How To Set Up Free Find Your iPhone (Even on Unsupported Devices)

is there a way, that l can jam or locate a stolen 3gs iphone with the serial number. or is there another way, so it jams when connects to the internet.
If you didn't set up Find My iPhone prior to losing it, then there is absolutely nothing that you can do with it now.
You could have a friend call or text it and try to reason with whoever has it. -
so basically i want to know whether or not apple could do something to find it
There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

Now when i try to re-download it from app store, i get the message, "we could not complete your purchase, iPhoto cant be installed on Mac OSX install ESD, because Mac OS X version 10.9 or later is required." The iphoto was actually installed on this macbook and now i cant re-install it. This version of macbooks dont come with any CD. Please help somebody?
Restore iPhoto from your boot drive backup.

Is there any way we could find about processor and...
we can easily find about processor and ram from our computer.will it be possible from mobile phone
need third-party applications to display that information on your phone. although Nokia Energy Profiler, available from Forum Nokia website, displays the amount of RAM being used by the phone.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post! -

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.

I set a restriction password to my child's iphone 3gs and have forgotten it. Is there any way to recover it? And if I do an update will that delete password? This is all new to me so thanks in advance!

No.

No. To remove a forgotten restrictions passcode requires restoring the device as "New" in iTunes, NOT from backup. -

You're back to old school. Think of the last place you had it and go from there.

I bought an iPhone from Ebay and it did not turn on so I looked on WinSCP and it said there was NO files PLEASE can someone send me iPhone 4 files!
No, no one can do that. You need to try restoring it:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
