I got this iphone from my friend but its icloud has been locked and i was wondering if i could bring it to apple to unlock it or something
can anyone help me with this
No.
You need to get the password for the iCloud account from your friend, or better yet ask your friend to do an erase all content and settings on the iPhone or restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone.

Got this iphone from my Ghananian friend.He forgot the email and password used to active the 4s iphone currently running on iOS 7.He did a restore using iTunes and now needs to be activated.Any idea?
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Hey, I've got an iphone from a friend cause it was locked to O2 and she was moving to Spain for 5 years.... How do I change the Apple ID? Appreciate any help! :))
ThankssThank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers

Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

I bougth an iphone from a friend but it is block to At&t how can i unlock it?
Call AT&T and see if you qualify for an unlock. If you do not, maybe you can get your friend to contact them and request an unlock, if he was a customer. Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock.

Hi all, I'm trying this morning to make the backup of my iPhone from 32 gigabytes. When I start the synchronization and backup I get written'' iTunes could not back up iPhone because an error occurred. I tried it on another iphone (4) and everything works fine. I can not reset the device because I have too much important data on it. Please help me.
Salve a tutti, sto cercando da stamattina di effettuare il Backup del mio IPhone da 32 gigabyte. Quando avvio la sincronizzazione e il Backup mi esce scritto '' iTunes non ha potuto eseguire il backup di Iphone perche si è verificato un errore. Ho provato su un altro iphone (4) e tutto funziona correttamente. Non posso ripristinare il dispositivo perchè ho troppi dati importanti sopra. Vi prego aiutatemi.Ok I tried to delete the backup by using your location via preferences, but I did not find any file, maybe because I've already deleted following the path to the disk. I repeat that I have 2 devices and the problem only occurs on one

i have a iphone bought in canada but its not yet been activated . i want to unlock this phone . but to request unlock i cant find any operator registered with this iphone and in settings-about .. when i check here there is no information in carrier tab . . wat should i do to unlock my phone
if you go on to apple.com click suppport under self service you will see check your service and support coverage click that it will ask you for your hardware serial number that wont be hard to get even if your iphone is still on the activation screen if you have the original packaging there will be a IMEI or a MEID number on it if you dont you can if you can connect to itunes connect and opetn itunes select iphone on the left go to the summary tab and the IMEI or MEID number will be there if you can do that then you can try this to get the imei or meid it may or may not work try connecting the phone to itunes then go to perferences click the device tab and scroll over the display and it will show the imei and meid if that dosent work try connecting and disconecting it and try it again if all else fails try activating with itunes then doing that

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -

I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?
If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.
