  • HT201441 Hi i bought a phone off of Craigslist and the phone was never deactivated by the previous owner. I cant contact the previous owner. How do I unlock it?

    Not sure.  It may also have never been reported to AT&T as stolen.
    It won't really matter.  The hardware ID of the phone is associated with the Apple ID and password of the person who originally activated it.  That is association is stored on Apple's activation servers and only the original owner can remove the association as discussed in the article you were reading.  Until that happens, the activation server will not reactivate the phone without the proper Apple ID and password being entered.

  • HT201441 I can not find the previous owner and ask them the Apple ID!

    what van I do if can not find the previous owner???

    If you have bought a second-hand iPhone and the previous owner has locked it, only he can unlock it as indicated in the Help page you came here from. If you cannot contact him you will be unable to use the phone; there is no way round this.

    If you mean activating it as far as using it on your phone plan, then you're going to have to go to your cell provider and have them do that for you and add the device to your current plan. Otherwise without activating it, the most your iPhone will be, is a thick iPod. Of course with wifi, you could still send iMessages, but that's the extent without adding it to a cell plan.

    Without knowing the Apple ID and password that the deceased used you can't unlock the Activation Lock.

    Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    ...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
    I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

  • HT201441 I can't get a hold of the previous owners iCloud how else can i erase the account

    I can't get a hold of the previous owners iCloud account or Apple ID ,how else can I erase his account so I could activate my phone

    So after hitting "Delete" for the second time (which I did not do because I did not want to delete my account) it asks for a password?
    Can't the phone just be reset back to factory?

    Probably because it's a stolen phone and you sound like some kind of criminal/stalker trying to hunt her down.
    Give up. It's useless. Thank you friend, and politely explain that the phone can not be used. Maybe they can contact whoever they got it from and get their money back.

  • HT5796 I have recently changed the apple ID on my husbands old phone to a new one for me.  When I click on appstore icon to do updates on the phone- it still asks me for the password associated with the previous apple ID - how do I reset this

    I have recently changed the apple ID on my husbands old iphone 4s
    My ID reflects correctly under the settings / itunes appstore tab however when I click on the app store icon to do updates, the window pops up with the previous apple ID and requests the associated password.
    How do I reset the apple ID password to enable me to install updates on the iphone with my apple ID and associated password.
    Please help

    Or you'll have to delete the apps and then download (pay again or free) using your Apple ID.

  • UK service provider can no longer unlock my iPhone for US use, and US service providers and Apple store say that only my UK service provider can unlock this phone. Help!

    I bought this iPhone while backpacking through Europe 2 years ago. It was the first thing i did after i got off the airplane to help me navigate, book hostels, trains, flights, and talk with family back home. it cost me around 700-800 US dollars, full price since they do pricing/contracts different over in the UK.
    It's been a couple years, and I'm ready to ditch my 6 year old Samsung and move on to this iPhone. The problem is, since i wasn't using the UK service for a while, they dropped my number/user account completely and they can no longer unlock my iPhone. I talked to AT&T and the Apple store, and they said that the only way I can unlock my iPhone is by contacting the service company that i originally purchased this from--whom can't help since i no longer have an account with them.
    How do i LEGALLY unlock this iPhone for use in the US?

    Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.
    You may have to get a PayAsYouGo sim from that provider to activate
    your account with them so you can get the iPhone unlocked.
    There is not other legal way to unlock the iPhone for use with other than
    the wireless carrier to which it is locked. Contact them to see what options
    they offer for re-activating the iPhone on their network.

  • When I try to install Firefox 3.6.12, I get a 7-Zip error message telling me the system can not find the path specified. How do I rectify this?

    I downloaded the Firefox Setup 3.6.12 from the Firefox website. After I run the install. It extracts, then I get the error message.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * Delete the files and folders in the %temp% folder.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
