I purchased an iPhone 4S second-hand, and the previous owner did not remove the iPhone fron their iCloud account. They do not know their Apple ID.

I bought an iPhone 4S secnd-hand. The previous owner did not remove the iPhone from their iCloud account. I've tried contacting the previous owner, but they also do not know. What should I do now?

If they were the one who set the lock, send them this link.
If not, you need to contact the person who did or the device's original owner.

Trying to set up iCloud onmy iMac and the iCloud icon does not appear in System Preferences under "Internet

I am trying to set up iCloud on my iMac and the iCloud icon does not appear in system preferences under "internet & wireless". How do I proceed. I have already set it up on my iPad & iPhone.

You have to upgrade to Lion for the iCloud preferences to be available.

Have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preferences

Hello,
I have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preference, even if I'ved upgraded the software.
Renee

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

My iPhone won't charge and the sleep button does not work, Please Help!

I woke up this morning and my iphone was dead. I have been using the assisted touch setting because one day for no particular reason my sleep button stopped working, so I can't even try a hard reset now. The phone never had a bad drop and the only way it could be water damaged is from being in a steamy bathroom. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get my phone to work again, Please leave a suggestion!!
Thank you

It could be that your button has justy gone out. You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there. If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

I'm in Lightroom 4 and trying to type text into individual slides and the text box does not let me

In help Lightroom 4 tells me to go custom text pop-up in the slideshow module and choose a metadata option. All I want to do is add some text to some of the slides in my slide show. Since text and or caption options are not avaliabe I tried using the title option which brought up a text box that I could place on the screen but NOT type into, why not? what am I missing here? Also after editing the 490 photos I want to put them onto a DVD as an OTHG 2011 file to give to my backpacking group but Lightfoom does not explain how to create these DVDs. Thanks for your help. Hart

When you set that popup to 'Title', say, the slides will get a label that is filled in from the 'title' metadata, which you set for each photo in the Library Module.
Try it.

HT201441 so, what if you have purchased an iPad mini second hand, and the past owner is not available to contact about allowing use?

PLEASE HELP! I can't connect it to iTunes either because the iPad is kind of broken

If you have encountered activation lock, your iPad will be useless unless you can contact the prior owner. They have to give you the ID and password, or erase it and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

I have a 21.5 inch iMac and the disc drives does not let me insert a disc

i have had my mac for over a year and this problem just started 2 days ago. I try to insert dvds and cds and it won't accept anything into the drive. I looked on here yesterday for tips but none worked. Does anybody know what to do?

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

You've encountered Activation Lock. Read here:

Without that info, you won't be able to re-activate the phone. Apple can't/won't help you with this.

Bought iphone 4s second hand, and im having trouble activating it.

so i bought an iPhone 4s second hand, and I'm having trouble activating the phone, its linked to the persons apple id and
its asking for the person to sign in and i no longer have contact with him.
I went to a Verizon store, and they said that i myself can do it at home by connecting the phone to iTunes, but i don't
know what or how to do that, please help.

Sorry, but the iPhone is of no use to you until/unless the prior owner removes it from their iCloud account.

If you're able to contact the previous owner, send them this link and tell them to follow the instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded.
Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

I have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. show i buy a new snow leopard disc fromapple

i have zero out all data on my imac, as i brought it second hand and the disk the guy supplied dont seem capatable with my imac to install the operating system again so it is frozen at the grey start up screen. should i buy a new snow leopard disc from apple and install that as my new operating system. please help as had the computer a month now and still cant use it yet.

You can call AppleCare and request a replacement set of the original DVD's that shipped with the computer for a nominal charge. You will need the serial number (look on the bottom of the stand) and a credit card. Click the AppleCare Contact Info link. Without knowing which iMac you have it's very difficult to say if a new SL disc would work or not.

Probably because its the ID of the person they stole it from...
It cannot be activated unless the rightful owner either enters their password on the phone or deactivates it through their iCloud account. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what the rightful owner has to do.
