The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do?

Do you think this is just a way to get my credit card information?

It sounds like a phishing email. You can't "cancel" purchases. You've now given them your AppleID and password, so you should immediately change your password to something new and very secure.
Also watch out for suspicicious activity on your account.

If you can't remember your apple id or password then sadly that phone has been bricked, without that infomation te activation lock cannot be removed by apple or anyone else.

You can't. It is locked to the previous owner's account.
Have the previous owner remove the iPhone from their account or get your money back.

I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this.
The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open. Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out. Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them. What can I do?

Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.

Thanx for replly lllaass,but when i authorized it,,computer ask for apple id and password,i put id and password,,but again it says,you cannot authorized more than 5 computer"

You can only have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. You need to deauthorize another computer and then authorize this computer. If yu do not have access to the other computers you can deauthorthize all computer and then authorize the one you want. You can only deauthorize all once a year. See the following for how to deauthorize all.

HT4623 I have an Apple ID and password, the latter is apha-numeric. Never had a problem. I updated to ISO 7. It is asking for a four digit password which I do not have. After my guesses are up , it locks. VERY Frustrating

I have an Apple ID and password, the latter is alpha numeric. Have not had any problem using it. Downloaded ISO 7 and it is requesting a four digit password. Nothing I enter works. Then it locks for awhile. I try again, no number I have ever used works.

Updated to IOS 7.0.6. Error code 6 during install. Restored using iCloud. Now iPhone keeps asking for apple ID and password.

Apple ID is a random person's ID. I hit cancel and a new ID pops up. This happens 5 times in a row.
Later the same thing happens with the same 5 apple ID's.
I have erased the Apple ID and entered my ID and Password but I still get the pop ups.
I have entered my Apple ID and password everywhere I can think of.
How do I solve this issue?

Did you purchase this phone new, or is it a used device? It sounds as if it is asking for the Apple ID and password for the original owner. See this support link about Activation Lock, Apple's anti-theft device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

App asks for Apple ID and password?

Hi,
I've just downloaded Whatsapp 2.11.4.ipa which is and older version of Whatsapp. I did it because I want to use Whatsapp in iOS 6 design. But when I launch the app, it asks for my Apple ID and password. Is it normal?
The same thing had happened when I once downloaded an older version of YouTube, too. Then I had uninstalled it.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.2

Downloaded it from where? If you got it anywhere other than through the app store, what you have is an illegal bootleg. It's asking for the ID/password of the original purchaser.

Music, iPhone asks for apple id and password when playing music.

My iPhone 5 keeps asking for my apple id and password when playing an album or any song purchased through iTunes Store. Not only does it ask for it for the first song, but every one after that. Any ideas?

Hello there, shadfly.
Is it, potentially, that you may have purchased the affected songs with another Apple ID? A great Knowledge Base article that always helps me out is:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Particularly what follows:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communizes for answers to your question.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
