Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

  • I purchased an iPhone 4S second-hand, and the previous owner did not remove the iPhone fron their iCloud account. They do not know their Apple ID.

    I bought an iPhone 4S secnd-hand. The previous owner did not remove the iPhone from their iCloud account. I've tried contacting the previous owner, but they also do not know.  What should I do now?

    If they were the one who set the lock, send them this link.
    If not, you need to contact the person who did or the device's original owner.

    Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user?  In that case 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 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.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
    You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

  • Can I have two iPhones on one iCloud account?

    I would like to put my wifes iphone on my icloud account so in the end we will have 2 iphones and one macbook on the account is that possible?

    You can but it's usually not recommended.  If you do any synced data will be merged to the same iCloud account.  For example if you both sync your contacts and calendars with the same iCloud account you will see each others contacts and calendar events on your phones.  Also, you can share an Apple ID (account) for iTunes store purchasing and still have separate iCloud accounts.  This article may be of interest: http://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-5-icloud-tips-sharing-an-apple-id-with-you r-family/.

    how to reactive my iphone 5 s iCloud account however it sign up in un exist email address whish i cant log on to reset the password.
    i update my iphone after that i fase that iusse so is there any one can help me with that

    You will need to visit appleid.apple.com to manage your Apple ID. From there, you can log in with your existing credentials and then change your registered email addresses.
    This is also where you can update your physical address, phone number, security questions, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I remove my old iPhone from my icloud account

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I accidentally deleted my backup from icloud on my iphone and now when I go into icloud in the settings it doesn't give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore? How can I get my phone to backup to icloud again?

    I accidentally deleted the latest backup for my iphone 6 on icloud like a week ago and now I can't backup my phone to icloud at all.  When I go into settings, then into icloud, and then into manage my storage it does not give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore. How do I get the "backup my iphone now" option in the manage my storage part of the icloud setting? Thanks.

    Hey guys I figured out how to solve the issue.
    You need to go to settings>general>restrictions.
    Turn off restrictions and your iCloud and twitter will start working.
    Enjoy.

    Go to Settings > iCloud, and sign out of the Apple ID there, then sign in with a different Apple ID.

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?

    How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?
    Because I want to manage (group) my contacts and then import my contacts into my iPhone again.
    Furthermore , I want to export my contacts to MicroSoft Outlook 2010.

    I think you have a couple of options.  You can bluetooth it or export from an account.
    Here is a link that may help you.  I think your phone has its own tutorial section on Verizon Support Knowledge Base.
    Try here
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/42651/
    Some advice is to save those contacts to a gmail account instead to the Backup Assistant account.  I read some other users were having problems with the Backup Assistant account deleting all contacts on their phone.
