I don't know the owner I found an iPhone4 how could I use this???

i don't know the owner how could I use this???

If you found a phone you should take it to the police. You don't have the right to hang onto it. If it's not claimed after a period then you may be able to retain it. But in any case if it is 'Activation Locked' only the original owner can unlock it. There is no way round this, and without being able to contact him (and if you could you should return it) the phone is permanently unusable if locked in this way.

    No. Turn it into the military police.

  • HT201441 I bought iPhone 4s device from the owner and the previous owner is not present and the device has already been erased, how can I use this device using my Apple ID and iCloud

    I bought iPhone 4s device from the owner and the previous owner is not present and the device has already been erased, how can I use this device using my Apple ID and iCloud

    Hello adilx
    The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
    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.
    Regards,

    I can't make purchases on my iTunes acct as I am being asked to answer security questions I don't know the answers to...how do I get this reset so I can make purchases?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" I don't know the owners info! Help?

    I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!

    A little more information:

    If you can't get this done

    you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account

  • HT201412 I don't know the carrier of my iPhone ? How can I know it ?

    My friend has bought me an iPhone 4s from UK. But, the problem is it still locked to carrier which I don't know it
    Please who has any idea to know the carrier ....Let me know
    My IMEI is : 013007005494976
    Many thanks in advance for who would help me

    Call AppleCare in the UK & they will tell you the carrier your phone is locked to, or ask your friend.
    Won't do you any good though, as the UK carriers won't authorize the unlocking of your phone unless you are a current or former customer...obviously, you are not.
    Mail it back to your friend & either purchase an iPhone where you live, or have your friend get you an officially unlocked iPhone or this phone unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • When I open USS Hornet (CVS-12) Web page I don't hear the sound of Splash down. How do I turn this on?

    When I open Explorer Browser at USS Hornet (CVS-12) Web page I should hear sound of Splash Down. How do I turn this on with Firefox?

    Wish I could answer, but I'm coming on for the same question, essentially.
    This pop-up window appears randomly for me - sometimes without even opening Safari.  Same exact web address as mentioned by sherryfromlakeview above.  A new window appears with the /*OK*/ in the top left corner, the remaining page blank.
    Same question -
    How do I permanently get rid of this?

  • I want to upgrade my software, but it says I need more start up memory. I keep my stuff on an external hard drive so I don't know what is eating my memory. How can I check this?

    How can I figure out what is eating my memory so I can upgrade my software?

    Do you mean disk storage space or physical RAM? The latter is memory, not the former. If you mean the former:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    If you mean RAM, then you have to add more to the computer which is not possible on Air models.

  • I'm developing a test system that reqiures that I run a TCP/IP session in the background while running TestStand. How could I incorporate this TCPIP vi into the TestStand Operator Interface ?

    Test Engineering
    Empower RF Systems Inc.

    Mal,
    If you have the LabVIEW Operator Interace, you can place your TCP/IP Vi anywhere you want. Either at the beginning of the execution, when a particular sequence is running, when a user logs in, etc. Since you have the LV code, you can just add your TCP/IP as a subVI in the right place. You could also place a button in the front panel that will allow you to CONNECT/DISCONNECT by calling your VIs.
    Does this help?

  • Don't know the Admin User!!

    Hi everybody ,,,
    I have a problem which is when I wanna to install a program the computer asks me to type the admin user and password and I don't know both of them .. also my user which I have been using it is a standard user although it's the user which I created it when I used the Mac the first time,,
    so ,,
    could u help me please ,, how could I know the admin user and password or how could I install the programs even with the standard user ?
    and how could I make it Admin,,
    Thanks,, & I'm looking forward to have an answer ..

    Excellent! I had the problem of loss of admin rights myself, and was curious if root had also been messed up so went to change his password. I thus discovered what is Apples recommended solution for the vanilla version of the problem. Incidentally there is at the top of the listing for 10.5 topics a little pink tinged section and that contains a slew of Leopard solutions.
    LioN HeArT, two pieces of advice 1)you really ought not to have (if so) your only user be an admin. That would mean that attacks whilst browsing especially could wreak more danmage. Your day to day user should be a non admin. If you care to follow my advice, despite your efforts you should demote the admin user to standard. Do that because if I am right about your scheme most of your user created data will be in that admin and it is a clart to shift the data to a non admin. HOWEVER before you do that follow this second advice
    2) set up two new admins. One you will use for the normal sorts of admin tasks, the other you hold in reserve and just test occasionally.
    By the way I hope you have disabled the root. To leave him enabled is a security risk. The easiest way is in Directory Utility but you can also do it from a single user boot. Root and the admins should have good passwords but I suspect they have judging from your upper/lower case username here.
    Finally, tidy up Apple's website and mark the query as settled, if it is so.

  • I purchased an used macbook and I don't know the old owners password, how can I reset it?

    I purchased an used macbook and I don't know the old owners password, how can I reset it?

    Well, it is part of the Mac. So you were shortchanged.
    Call AppleCare and ask them to send you a replacement set. They will ask for the serial number and model number to sure they are give you the correct set. They will charge you a nomibnal fee for shipping and handling.

  • I found an iphone 4 and tried to bypass the passcode but as i moved on to try and use this iphone, it says that i have to contact the owner to give me the apple id and password but i dont know the owner

    i have got an apple iphone 4 and want to use it...it says that i need to contact the owner of the iphone to give me the apple id and the password, but i dont know the owner because i found this iphone.....can you help me unlock this iphone ??

    It doesn't belong to you. Turn it over to the police. You can't bypass the activation lock. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do, which is to prevent scum like you from using a lost or stolen phone.

  • HT4759 I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?

    I did a a factory reset to my I phone 4G but it ask for the original owner account but I don't know the original owner, how can I activate my device?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  There's no way around it.  You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again.  If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.
