i cloud activation i bought the phone its locked with icloud no owner info any help
You have encountered the new security feature called Activation Lock. It prevents stolen or lost phones from being activated by someone other than the original owner. There is no way to circumvent the Activation Lock. Contact the original owner for assistance or return the phone to where you purchased it an demand a refund.

hi i live in venezuela i buy a iphone5s unlocked when i resived the phone its locked by at&t it is posible to unlock it ?
Obviously, you did not purchase an unlocked iPhone. Apple is the only source of unlocked iPhones in the US.
Why did you buy an iPhone from the US if you do not live in the US? -
is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support -
How to disable power off when the phone is locked with pass code.
Can anyone teach me how to disable power off function when the phone is locked? With this , user is able To trace the iPhone when it goes missing. Besides, users will have enough time to remote wiped.
i also had my phone stolen ... the first thing they did was turn off the phone so i couldnt track them.. you should need to enter your passcode in order to turn off the phone. i dont care if you cant do a hard reset.. i would rather loose the ability to do a hard reset for the added security .. besides without hard reset if it jammed badly i would just wait ontill the battery died.

I Have problems with my iPhone 4s after the installation of the new iOS8, the phone doesn't want to switch on again. I need to recover some important data that I have inside the phone.

There isn't anything you can do to recover contents from iPhone 4s if you cannot get the iPhone to startup. Connect it to a wall outlet so you have a solid power source, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears. If the iPhone still will not startup, the next options to try will automatically erase your iPhone all of its contents.
The next step is to do a restore via the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 but again note that this erases the iPhone.
Thank you Landry, it is really a good experience to solve problem of iPhone Data Recovery! -
Tried restarting the phone. Didn't help.
Every time I connect the phone with the cable, the question to trust the MacBookPro comes up, which I answer 'Trust'. Doesn't help.
Tried restarting the mac. Didn't help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated- Thanks !Hi bhorv67,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below explains the troubleshooting steps to take when your iPhone repeatedly asks to trust the MacBook Pro:
'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202778
'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Learn about trusting computers with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
When you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new computer or another device attempting to access the files of your iOS device, you'll see an alert asking you to verify that you trust the connected device. If you tap Trust, you'll allow this device to access files stored on your iOS device.
If your iOS device is passcode locked, you need to unlock the device before you'll see the alert.
To trust a computer:
Connect the computer or other device to your iOS device.
If your iOS device is locked with a passcode, unlock it.
Tap Trust.
If you're about to sync the device with iTunes, click Accept.
The trusted computer or device can access the files and settings of your iOS device. A trusted computer can sync with your iOS device, import photos, access movies and videos, contacts, and other such content, until you disconnect. The data stored on your iOS device isn't exposed before you enter your passcode (if enabled) and choose to trust the connected computer or device.
If you choose not to trust the connected computer, you can charge your device, but the connected computer won't be able to access any content on your device.
If you tap Trust, the computer will be trusted until you untrust all computers or you erase the device. If you tap Don't Trust, you'll see this alert each time you connect your device to that computer.
If you're using iOS 8 or later: To untrust all computers, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. This will also reset your location and privacy settings. You can also untrust all computers by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will also reset your network settings.

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
There is an option in settings to erase the phone after 10 failed login attempts. If you had enabled this option then, yes, after 10 tries all of your content (including pictures) would be erased. You can recover them from the most recent backup you made of the phone, either in iCloud or on your computer. -
Trying to back up iPhone because phone has a shattered screen. But it is requiring a passcode before I can back it up and the passcode has to be entered on the phone itself, which is impossible due to shattered screen. Any suggestions on a way to get around this?
If you never synced with iTunes since setting the passcode on it, you won't be able to back up to your computer without entering the passcode first. You can't get around this. This requirement is for your own safety, as it keeps someone who steals you phone from being able to back up your data to their computer without knowing your passcode.

I bought an iphone 4 locked with att carrier with another number.
My question is can i bring this iphone 4 to the official of ATT, and can they locked into my number instead of the one that is locked with?
the issue is that the phone it is brand new, my friend he decided to sell the iphone so if i bought it i have to do the activation myself at home with itune. Since the phone i locked with his number there no way i can do the activation. My concerned is that can i bring to ATT and let them locked into my number, of course i have to sign 2 year commitment with them. Can i bring the phone to them?

Has anybody had a similar problem , after charging my iPhone 5s (with the Apple charger and cable ) , the screen on the phone has locked with the Apple Symbol , the phone will neither switch on or off for me to take any action , restore , upgrade etc
I think your iPhone must be stuck in Apple logo. If so, you need to read the help guide: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support

I bought an iPhone 5; 16GB and after updating to ios 7 am unable to bypass the activation screen because am told is locked to the owner's iCloud account but I can't contact the owner. What can i do to rectify the situation. Bought the phone for $500.

What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account. -
I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable? It automatically gets disconnected and then get connected again.
That is shorter than normal. Any signs of wear? And you're sure it's the cable, not one of the pins in the iPhone's charging port?

i brought a iphone 5c from ebay, when i recieve the i item its loked with i cloud, and also had a tmobile sim card in the slot...now i cant access the phone because its locked with i cloud,i do not have the owner details to contrac him....but i called to tmobile, they said this phone is not a stolen one,,thet told me to contrac apple.....is apple can unlock the icloud?
Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.
