IPhone Activation Lock Apple ID not mine.

Hello,
I'm going to start out from the beginning, I decided to delete my iCloud account a few days ago for no apparent reason,
but I saw that deleting my iCloud account deleted my contacts as well.
I tried to restore to an old backup on my PC in iTunes, but after that, it showed some of my contacts, but there were missing some stuff here and there like Notes and Photos I really needed, so I decided to backup and restore to a even older backup, seeing that it still didn't work I decided to just restore my phone completely and restore to a older backup (which was a really bad choice),
when I restored, I was greeted with this Activation Lock, but the email that was shown that was linked to my iPhone doesn't match up to the email I registered.
I then tried to enter my current Apple ID I was using before I restored, and it said "[email protected]" cannot be used to unlock this iPhone, so basicly I'm stuck here, can anyone please help me?
I'm in Singapore Btw.

Delete all of the applications associated with the other person's Apple ID; they might have been synced from a computer instead of being downloaded directly from the iTunes Store.

  • My stolen Iphone 4S is registered under another apple ID (not mine). Help to stop Chiefs of our Iphones!

    My stolen Iphone 4S (DNPGN90ADTDF) is registered under another apple ID (not mine).
    I have Apple ID but I have never registered my Apple products on this web site. One of them Iphone 4S has been stolen and I wanted to inform the administration and users about it.  I was trying  to register it  under my ID and found out that it has been registered under another apple ID.
    I have papers from the French Police about the stolen Iphone, I have Iphone's box with serial number and if it's important I can request the check.

    P.S. My very expensive bag was stolen where were the Iphone and a lot of documents and very important things.

    apparently I have just an iphone 4 not 4s, so thank you.
    It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
    I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it.  But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app.  That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'.

  • Find My iPhone Activation Lock

    Hello,
    I give my iPhone 4 to a friend, he used it for a month then he give it me back.
    I make a restore, but now I'm stuck on the activation lock.
    I followed the procedure described here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    - I asked him for the password, and we removed the device from it iCloud account.
    - but the iPhone is still asking for the activation account when I try to setup the iPhone.
    And the strange thing is that the account it's not a valid account (".con")
    So how can I activate my iPhone 4 back???
    here the screenshot:
    I have purchased this iPhone4 some years ago and I still have all the purchase informations!

    I have initialized the device and now I'm in the Activate windows, as you can see from the screen above.
    My friend told me all possible account passwords and tell me that he activate the iPhone with [email protected] and not [email protected]
    And I think that it is not possible to activate an iPhone with the suffix .con, because is not a recognized email address... how is this possible ?
    I'm stuck in this strange situation....
    can someone help me ?
    (I have all the information that this iPhone is not stolen, becauseI purchased it from an authorized reseller.)
    Then call the relevant number for your Country and have the detail to hand

  • IPhone Activation: Incorrect Apple ID

    Hello.
    I was updating from iOS 7 to iOS 8, and they asked me for my Apple ID and password. I filled them in and then it told me that the Apple ID "****@hotmail.com" can't be used to unlock this iPhone. It's strange because it is a valid Apple ID and i used it for my iPhone before updating. I even tried to log in on iCloud on my laptop with this ID and it worked. What shall i do?

    Sounds like your device has been Activation Locked by another user. Did you purchase this device 2nd hand? If so, you will have to contact the previous owner to get the Activation Lock removed:

    Hi Atique ur rehman,
    Thanks for your query.
    If the sleep wake button on your iPhone is unresponsive, first try and reset all setting by going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
    If this does not resolve the problem, I would sound more like a hardware based issue.
    I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
    If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
    Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!
    Thanks,

  • I can't figure out how to log off of my daughter's iTunes account that has been loaded to my PC.  When I want to sync my iPhone, I get her data, not mine.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • IPhone activation locked with iCloud password login

    My iphone is activation locked requiring my [email protected] password. However the phone will not accept my password.
    My apple online ID email is different from the phone required ID email and hence the online password which works lets me log in online, but will not not work on the phone or when trying to log into iCloud online as both require an [email protected] ID and password?

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • HT201441 I work at a company that buys electronics and resells them. I was wondering is there a way to contact them to remove the iphon activation lock.

    I work at a company that buys electronics and resells them. I was wondering if there was a way to contact Apple to deactivate the activation lock.

    Check out KB HT5661 - What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Your company probably need to setup some type of screening process where before you buy the Apple device, make sure the person turns off Activation Lock with Find My iPhone before you take ownership of the device.
    Apple's FAQ article on Activation Lock KB HT5818 is stating they are not going to repair or service the phone if Activation Lock with Find My iPhone is not turned off. So I guess it's the owner's iPhone responsibility to turn it off before you sell, give it away, or want it repaired.

  • IPhone Activation Lock Bug

    Recently in China, many iPhone-stolen users found their activation lock never worked and their iPhone got activated without their permission. And on Taobao, which is the largest online C2C market in China, many unauthorized vendors sell 'authorized' iPhone unlock service.
    Things are still under the surface until several days ago, a user on Weiphone(the largest Apple fans discussion community in China) found its iPhone get lock without its permission after it reinstalled iOS. And the AppleID locked the phone is not its. It accessed to Apple Activation Lock Status querying page and inputted its iPhone's IMEI and pressed the Return key. Several microseconds later, it found its iPhone 5s displayed as an iPhone 4 and his iPhone 5s got locked as an iPhone 4. In short, its iPhone 5s has been locked remotely.
    This guy guesses somebodies take the way which had been used for unlocking the iPhone 4's network lock several years ago. In this way of unlocking the iPhone 4's network lock, you need to change your network-locked iPhone 4's IMEI and serial number to a lock-free iPhone 4's.
    So, you have to get not only IMEI, but also the serial number to lock an iPhone remotely. In China, once you bought a phone(not only iPhone), the vendor must record the sold phone's IMEI. And those people must bought the records from many vendors. And those people must also have a GSX account to query the phone's serial number with the IMEI.
    And those people take this way, use their AppleIDs to lock many people's iPhones without any touch with their iPhones.
    Please fix this bug. Many iPhone-stolen users in China are blaming the uselessness of activation lock.
    Here is the original post on Weiphone(Chinese only). http://bbs.feng.com/read-htm-tid-8644410.html

    Again, irrelevant.  Perhaps the user doesn't know they can activate lost mode.  Perhaps they've already replaced the device and don't care about the lost/stolen one.  Perhaps they are dead.  Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
    All that matters is that the device is in Activation Lock.  You're the one that bought an iPhone from someone you don't know.  You're the one that didn't take the proper steps to make sure Activation Lock wasn't a factor during your purchase.
    You (apparently) didn't know how to check to verify an iPhone isn't Activation Locked.  In that same level of ignorance, perhaps the rightful original owner didn't know they needed to remove Activation Lock, or how to enable Lost Mode, or to contact their carrier to blacklist the device.
    Either get the owner of the Apple ID to remove Activation Lock, get the original purchaser to contact Apple with proof of purchase and request the Activation Lock to be removed, or enjoy your iBrick.
