HT201441 What happens if I can't get in touch with the previous owner? Will apple contact him?

I bought an iPhone 5 on line and the phone is locked under icloud activation. There is no way to get in touch with the seller. Will Apple be able to contact them if I provide the imei number of the device? If not what do I do?

I'm afraid so. The vendor should have restored it to factory condition before selling it, so basically he has sold you an unusable device. If you have no way of contacting him for a refund or to unlock it you are, as you say, stuck.

Without knowing the Apple ID and password that the deceased used you can't unlock the Activation Lock.

If you mean activating it as far as using it on your phone plan, then you're going to have to go to your cell provider and have them do that for you and add the device to your current plan. Otherwise without activating it, the most your iPhone will be, is a thick iPod. Of course with wifi, you could still send iMessages, but that's the extent without adding it to a cell plan.

Apple hasn't done anything. This is a security feature that you did not check to see had been properly de-activated before buying the phone.
If there was a back door, it would be useless as a security feature.

Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Only the former owner can remove the Find My Phone lock and erase the device. That can be done remotely. Without this the device is useless to you because it will be permanently locked.

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.

There is nothing you can do, if you can not get the previous owner to unlock the phone from his account it is useless.

HT201441 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?

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.

I have found an Ipad 3 I believe it was stolen. How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?

I have bought in a flea market an Ipad 3 Wifi only I believe it was stolen. When I bought it the battery was discharged so I couldn't verify it for being locked (stolen). After I charged it and turned it on it's locked in Icloud.
How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?
I don't have anything. The Ipad is Icloud locked. It only shows : s********@googlemail.com
I am willing to buy the Ipad from previous owner.
Thank you

I don't know what you want to hear, but no one here can help you. apple will not help you.
What you're dealing with is the activation lock, where it's required for the person that sets up the iPad to 'release' it to be used by someone else.
There's no hack or crack. There's no assistance anyone here can give you beyond the suggestions we already have.
Use your imagination. Or use the ipad as a pretty new paperweight.

How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version

How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version
I would really like to get these songs (not illegally like most people) because i really like them but they are only in the U.K. or Irish version of iTunes and I'm on the Canadian version
If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanks

OS X is the same no matter where you buy it. You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

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.

Please help with my iPhone I bought from a pawn shop but have no contact with the previous owner so I cannot get past the icloud activation Please anyone help. it would mean a lot, I paid good money for this phone

Return it to the pawn shop and get your money back. The device is permanently locked and with the previous owner to unlock it you can never use it except as a paperweight.

You can not go any further without intervention from the previous owner.
