My problem is trying to restore my iphone 4s. The icloud password is from a defunct email account through an ISP that I no longer use. I have upgraded to an iphone5s . I want to give the iphone4s to a special needs child that can make good use of it.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I have bought a new IPad 2 and I want to give my old one to my Daughter. How do I clear the old one and reinstall my appps to the new one?

I have purchased a IPad2 and I want to give my old IPad to my daughter. How do I clear the old IPad and transfer my apps and purchased item to the new IPad2?

You can copy any purchased items that aren't already on your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy everything over to the new iPad then you can back up the old iPad by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad under Devices when connected to your computer's iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad.
When you are happy that eveything has copied over you can log out of you account on the old iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then wipe its content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setings.

I recently purchased a new Iphone 5C and want to give my Iphone4S to my husband to use. An old email id that no longer exists keeps popping up and I cannot restore the 4S to factory settings so he can use it as his own. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a new Iphone 5c and gave my 4s to my husband to use. However an old email address of mine keeps popping up that no longer exists and I don't know what the password was
and I cannot restore the 4s to factory settings. Is there any resolution for this?

Find My iPhone Activation Lock
Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
The problem is covered in the above links. Unless you know the Apple ID and password used to set up the Find My Phone lock originally, then the phone is useless. If you have proof of ownership and that you are the original purchaser, then you can ask Apple to release it from the activation lock.

I want to give my iphone to my freind and thus I tried to Erase all contents and reset everything. I went settings-general-erase and reset. But while it was being processed, power supply went off. I have connected back to power but after 4 hours no repson

Can anyone advise me how long does it normally take to reset while doing- settings-general-erase and reset all settings.It has already taken 4 hours and only the apple logo is being displayed yet. I am little bit worried if the operating system will not be restored.

Use the following steps to place your device into recovery mode. If the device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Did you do this?
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, 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 the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB cable to iPhone, the device should power on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If none of these works, visit your nearest Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider or wireless carrier.
Cheers!

I have an iPhone4 which I bought as a pay-as-you-go from O2 in England (UK). But now I have moved to Nigeria. I want to use the iphone4 with local GSM providers. How do I go about it? Please help.Thanks.

You contact o2 as they are the only ones who can unlock the phone for you.

I have an old iphone4 that I want to give to a friend that has a different carrier than I. I'm havaing difficulty understanding the instructions from Apple. Why do I need to restore my phone if I have already updated my iphone 6

I have an old iphone 4 that I want to give to a friend that has a different carrier than I. Why do I want to restore my old phone to "unlock" it. I erased all data when I updated my new phone.

If you have arranged with your carrier to unlock you iPhone, and they have sent you an e-mail telling you that it has been unlocked and to follow instructions to unlock, then you will need to restore in order to complete the unlock.

I want to upgrade my iphone4 to iphone5 but am out of money

i want to upgrade my iphone4 to iphone5 but am out of money

Well, in that case you cannot upgrade. On this planet, money is required to buy things.
Get a job, save enough money, then upgrade.
Nobody here is going to give you any money.

I cloud password different from apple ID? won't recognise my password, so I reset it as want to give my phone to my daughter. Having MAJOR problems!!

I want to give my old iphone4 to my daughter but it won't let me reset anything without my iCloud password. Unfortunately it did not recognise my password and when I requested to reset it I was taken to Apple ID. I changed the password but my email is not an iCloud one so it still won't recognise it or my original i cloud password. Help!! Apple have been no help at all....

Hey! What way did you try to reset your iphone?
The easiest thing (please correct me if i'm wrong now) is:
settings, general, reset -> reset all ("contents and settings")
You just need the unlock-code for this.
What iOS are you running on that phone?
If this doesn't help, please let us know!

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

I have an AT&T iphone 6 and want to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer. How involved would it be to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

I Have an AT&T iPhone 6 and wants to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer. Is this possible and, if so, how involved is it to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

Likely not possible.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier which typically do not support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) .
You will have to ask Sprint if they can offer service on a unlocked GSM Phone that does not have the CDMA chip.
Its unlikely they will though. But if they do, you will need to request AT&T unlock your iPhone so you can insert a Sim card form another carrier into it

HELP !!!I want to give my old apple to my girlfriend, SO SHE CAN PLUG IN HER NEW IPHONE, CREATE AN APPLE ID AND USE MY OLD LAPTOP TO DOWNLOAD itunes music, but im having trouble deautherizing it, and making her the OWNER, IF you get my drift, how to i mak

Hi
I have a new powerbook and want to give my girlfriend my old G4 power book, she has a new iphone 5s, and wants to create a new itunes/apple id. When i try to de authorize the G4 and sign in with her new apple ID it says bad password, how can i release the G4 from my cluster of authorized apples and make her the owner so she can download music and more importantly sync her music with her phone, she only has 3 songs on her iphone, and loaded all her CD's into the g4 but cant sync, im no dummy and this shouldnt be hard, but its driving me crazy!!!!!!
thx u so much for your time heeeellppppp.

Perhaps, as we have the same music tastes, for now i should just authorize her phone to my power book just to sync music, not pics, contacts etc? I'd hate to overright her contacts etc lol????
