I tried to activate my iPhone 4 with Verizon but they said it was already under an account. The phone was brand new, what do I do?

I recently tried to activate my iPhone that I bought brand new from eBay. I set up the phone so I could do everything with wifi but the other day, I called Verizon to get the phone activated but they said the IPhone is alreadyunder an account. I only set up my iTunes and iCloud on my phone. I contacted the seller and told them what Verizon said but she said the phone was already deactivated. What do I need to do? Or is there no hope? Help please

If the eBay seller said the iPhone was already deactivated, then that is an admission that it was not a new iPhone. It was used and activated by another user.
Take your purchase receipt and the iPhone to a Verizon store, talk with their staff, and see if there is a way to get the iPhone removed from the other account.
This may take time as they will likely want to be sure the iPhone has not been reported as stolen.

Seems my macbook air's bluetooth cannot sustain pairing with other devices. It shuts off right away. Been trying to pair my iPhone 6 with it but it keeps disconnecting. I can't use my airdrop. My air is a 2011 11 inch with serial number

My Macbook air's bluetooth does not sustain paring with my iPhone 6 so I cannot use my airdrop. Is there something wrong with my mac's bluetooth or is there something I need to do to activate it? My iPhone's control center has its airdrop open on everyone and with bluetooth open.
<Personal Information Removed by Host>

Both devices need to have their Bluetooth on, but they need not (and indeed cannot) pair.
A MacBook Air can communicate to an iPhone using AirDrop. Both devices would have Bluetooth on without pairing as I described. But actually if you have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, that computer is too old to communicate that way, so you are out of luck.
Here is more information:

HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

How can I find the owner of a found phone that must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
Thank you for the support.

I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs with itunes but just getting windows error message

I am trying to update itunes to 5.0.1 version but get an error message at end saying
There is a problem with this Windows installer package, a problem required for this install to complete could not be run.

Is your iPhone 4 GSM type or CDMA ?

TS3988 I have two apple id's and when I upgraded from 4.2.1 to 6.0 I lost all the songs I downloaded from on of the ID''s I tried going on that ID and IClouding them but all I got was this how(what it said Down bellow can I get half my music back

This devise is already associated with a apple ID you can download past purchase with just one apple ID every 90 days .you can out associate this device with a different ID for 2 days

I want to update my current iOS from 4.2.1 to 5.0.1 for the Assistive Touch feature that allows you to have an on screen home button
I tried downloading the file myself (not through iTunes), making sure I got the iPod 4G file. Go into iTunes and install it and it says it cannot upgrade because the firmware is not compatible
iOS 4.2.1 - there's a clue. It begs the question about which model of iPod you have. Yes, I know you said: (and yes, I have a 4G) by which I assume you're saying that you have a 4th generation Touch, but are you sure? This has been claimed before by people who then discover that they do not have a 4th gen Touch. Which size Touch do you have and what is the model number on the back of your iPod? If it says model A1288, that's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Check this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model of iPod.
The second clue - and the reason I've mentioned all this, is that you then say you have downloaded the file yourself but "it cannot upgrade because the firmware is not compatible." In other words, iOS 5.0 cannot be used with your iPod. That also suggests that you have 2nd gen Touch.
Persumbaly, you have tried connecting the Touch to iTunes and selecting "check for updates?" What does it say?

I am trying to activate my iphone 4 via my itunes but i keep getting the error (1) message at the end of restoring. Any suggestions?

I am trying to activate my iPhone 4 via iTunes but i keep getting the error (1) message at the end of the restore. I believe my iphone has to be in DFU mode but i already tried that and same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The error is just a simple error message just like (1013) instead it says (1). The iPhone I am trying to activate has been activated before I just currently have no service and I think that activating it will solve the problem. I just can't restore through iTunes because it won't finish. I get the message every time I try to restore.

I am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is grey out

i am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is greyed out even though I downloaded the J2EE version
I went through the following steps :
Click the project in which you want to create a new diagram, choose File New from JDeveloper's menu, then select General Diagrams in the left pane of the New dialog.
I have downloaded J2EE Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984

When the class diagram is disabled - does the wizard for creating a new class in the new->General also disabled?
If it is then you are not placing your cursor on the project before you choose file->new
(you are probably on the workspace that contains the project).

HT201407 I'm trying to activate my iphone that i got used. i restored it to factory settings and it says it is activated under the previous owners apple id. They are not with me nor do i know how to get a hold of them. What do i do to reactivate it?

I'm trying to activate my iphone that i got used. i restored it to factory settings. I'm now trying to activate the phone and it says it was originallyh activated with someone else appleid. They aren't around nor do i have anyway of getting a hold of them. How do i activate the phone with my appleid?

If you cannot contact the previous owner, then the iPhone is unusuable. There is no way past the activation lock without the Apple ID and password used to set up the lock, or the previous owner removing the device from his/her iCloud account.
If you purchased the iPhone though a service such as eBay that offers buyer protection, contact that service and file a complaint and get your money back. If you purchased the iPhone privately, then you've wasted your money.
Regards.
