I like to contact the previous owner Iphone
I like to contact the previous owner Iphone IMEI 35856051844265 .
What of the fact that people do not cut off the APPLE ID I Can not use the device that is not lost and no one is looking ?
Did you buy it through an online presence such as eBay?
They have some obscure but perhaps helpful guarantee.
Such facilitators of commerce who do offer some recourse
are better than others who do not... If you did not buy it
direct from the person who owned it, contact who sold it.
Buying second-hand iDevices that are locked into the first
owner's authentication information always bricks them at
some point. By now, sadly, the word hasn't gotten very far.
Good luck & happy computing!

buy an iphone 4 thousand pesos and asked me to turn iCloud account, I contacted the previous owner but no reply
There is nothing you can do, if you can not get the previous owner to unlock the phone from his account it is useless.

The phone is useless unless you can contact the previous owner. There is nothing anyone can do to help. If you are able to contact, the following contains instructions on what they need to do: iCloud: Activation Lock

The same way you would contact anyone. Call them, e-mail them, speak to them in person, write a letter. There are many ways to communicate with a fellow human.
No one here would have the contact information for a random seller of an iPhone. -
if i cant contact the previous owner what cand i do with my iphone 4 locked icloud?
Welcome to the Apple community Axel.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone. -

Hey guys, I've just recently bought a second hand iPhone 5s off of ebay for christmas. It's cost me £260.00 plus £8.00 delivery costs I have full proof of purchase including receipts and have also already rung apple's support team as well as taking the phone to local phone repair stores it's clear to me that I have no other options than to get in contact with the phone's previous owner but, I currently cannot view the whole email address even after making an appointment with apple in Westfield yesterday they were quite adamant about me contacting the previous owner but not sure how i'm going to do that when I can't see an email address displayed clearly on the activation screen.
If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you nor find the previous owner.
You should if possible return it to eBay or the seller and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless: the vendor has sold you a brick - I don't know whether eBay have a complaints procedure which might help you. -

What happens if the previous owner refuses to to give me his password for me to delete it/ do the instructions?
The previous owner doesn't need to give you their credentials. They can release the device via Find My iPhone on iCloud.com as per the instructions in the link I posted in my initial response: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner
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.
If the person you bought it from refuses to do this, I would assume the device is stolen and I would demand a refund and/or contact the authorities. -

I got an iPad mini from a friend who is now passed away and I'm trying to activate it using my Apple ID but it won't let me because I have to contact the previous owner, what do I do!?
Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

ThanksAs I said you need to:
You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID

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 How do you contact the previous owner with a partial email?
How do you send an email to an unknown previous owner with only a partial email visible on an iCloud locked device? Is there a way to get the entire email address so the old owner can be contacted? There has to be a way to contact the previous owner.
-bsidesNo, there is no way to get the complete email address. Turn the device in to the police.
