If you don't have access to a computer
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes
Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Then the previous owner has already made all the accounts that are possible to make from that device.
As KiltedTim says, you will have to use another Apple device to create an iCloud for yourself.
Once you have created the account, you can use it on that device, but you cannot create any more accounts with that device, ever.

I need help on my Iphone 3gs wont turn on

Hello, I need help on my iphone 3gs won't turn on. I was travel to Asian when I charge my iphone with the USB Power Adapter about 10-20 mins and then when I check on how many percent on battery then I hear sound on the adapter. I think is shock circuit on the Power Adapter then my iphone shut down. I try to turn on but it won't turn on.when I try used another charge but still don't work. What should I do.

You either pay Apple to do it (usually you will get a replacement refurbished phone). Make sure to BACK IT UP first before taking it in. Plug into a computer that has the latest iTunes, do a sync and confirm the existence of the backup in iTunes / Preferences / Devices. If they give you a replacement, plug it back into the same computer and do a Restore to recover your stuff.
Else, DIY! i3G's are relatively easy to dismember and replace the battery. Parts and howto: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_3GS

If the iPhone was hacked and unlocked via unofficial means, it has become locked again. Insert original SIM in the phone to activate with iTunes.

Can anyone help with my iphone 3gs activation?

Hi, I am trying to get help with my iphone 3gs. It's not being activated.

Find some place that will provide support for illegally unlocked phones, or if you decide that you don't want to do something illegal, get it unlocked legally, through the carrier it's locked to.

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

Need help with my iphone syncing to itunes

I have recently got a new computer (no access to old one) downloaded itunes and bought about 35 songs now it won't let me sync them to my iphone without deleting everything else on the iphone around 3000 songs how can i stop this
thanks in advance

Hello there Tami P.,
I was thinking either one of a few things here. You may need to open the Music tab in the iPhone device window and select the music you want to sync over to the phone. Use this article to help with that if needed:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.
Also you may need to associate the device with your Apple ID then try syncing again. Use this article to help with that:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
If all else fails, I would recommend restorign the phone through iTunes.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

All the very best,
Sterling

Help with using iPhone 3GS on tiger 10.4.11?

I have seen other people using Tiger, but when i try to connect my iPhone 3GS to iTunes, i get an error saying that This iPhone cannot be used. Must have 10.5 or higher. Am I missing a driver or something? Others have claimed to have used Tiger.

Copied from this link.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
+*Mac system requirements*+
+*Mac computer with USB 2.0 port*+
+*_Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later_*+
+iTunes 8.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)+
+iTunes Store account+
+Internet access+
What is the exact error message?
A potential problem may be if your Mac has USB 1.1 ports instead of USB 2.0 ports, and I believe it does. It may be possible to sync an iPhone via a USB 1.1 port but not without potential problems. USB 1.1 is not supported. USB 2.0 is supported.

Help With my Iphone 3gs please.

When i connect my iphone 3gs itunes comes up and says "Itunes could not connect to this iphone. an unknown error (0xE8000012)"

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

No one answered me.. Really need help! My iPhone 5 doesn't search for a signal

Everytime I am in library, my cellphone doesn't have a signal. So my phone only gets wifi.
When I leave the library, my iPhone 5 doesn't search for a signal. It shows me "no service" until I turn on/off the airplane mode.
Then the phone starts to search for signal.
Is this my phone problem or the carrier?
Should I get a replacement?
Thank you

I will do it soon. Thank you
Also should I get a replacement? I don't want to get this problem later.

I need help with my iphone 3gs. It is disabled for 22 million mins.
