IPhone cannot be activated (Apple ID was changed)

My Apple ID was used on several devices which some of them are sold thereafter and give them the password, i know. stupid, there was no activation lock problem by Apple ID at that time. Somebody activated Find my iPhone and change the Apple ID and Email, i have no idea what they are now. So other devices which has been upgraded are now stuck at activation. I recreated that Apple ID but still it can't be used for activation. Is there anything can be done?

Hopefully its a previous account. Cheers for your help.

  • A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also removely wiped. Can Apple help me somehow?

    A month ago my iPhone was stolen, I turned on Activation Lock but it never came out BUT an hour ago somehow my apple ID was changed and someone removed from the account both my iPhone and iPad and the iPad was also remotely wiped. As soon as I saw it I recover the password and return the access to my iPad. But iPhone is not registered for my apple ID any longer. Can Apple help me somehow? I have all the documents and the iPhone box. Will they lock the iPhone and return me access to it. I'm sure it's been attached to another apple ID.
    PS. the apple ID I'm using on the discussons is not the hacked one.

    Try contacting the Apple account security team and ask: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

    Not sure what this has to do with Apple TV.
    Also this is a user forum, no one here can help with that. I would contact your carrier.

  • My Apple ID was changed.  Yet when I try to update apps I am asked to enter the password for the old IG which will not work and no matter what I do. When I attempt to update apps it still askes for the wrong ID data.

    My Apple ID was changed.  It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store,  Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does.  I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username.  The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data.  This is making my older IPAD unuseable.

    You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

  • When am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?

    when am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?

    The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
    There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
    You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    If you can't get it reset online then you will need to contact Support in your country to do so : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699#V

  • Hello, if my apple id was changed on ipad, how do i change it back

    if my apple id was changed on ipad, how do i change it back?

    Go to Setrtings/Store and tap the indicated ID to sign out.  Then sign in with the correct ID.  Note that this will apply ONLY to new purchases.
    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • HT4623 iphone cannot be activated

    after updating iOS 6.0 my iphone cannot be activated through itunes. anyone any idea?

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

  • HT5622 I just got an email that the name and credit card on my apple id was changed.  Is it a scam?

    I just got an email that the name and credit card on my Apple ID was changed....is this a scam??

    If it's asking you confirm anything or in any way provide personal information, then yes, it's almost certainly a scam. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933
    Just delete the message; do not reply to it or provide any sort of personal information through any of the links in the email. You can sign into your iTunes Store account directly through iTunes and confirm that nothing has changed.

  • App store still requesting old Apple ID after Apple ID was changed - cannot update apps

    A few months ago, my apple account was hacked. I had to change my Apple ID. That's fine, and all of the iTunes stuff is fine. The App store is a different problem. When I go to update my apps, it asks for the old Apple ID, which now is invalid. How can a convert the Apple ID associate with the App Store to my new Apple ID? I have way too many apps to start over, nor am I willing to purchase them again.

    I would contact iTunes.  Only they can take care of your pboem since apps are permentetly locked to the account that purchased them.

    Why my iphone cannot be repaired in an authorized service center because thay said it is purchased in US not in Oman?
    This service center MI Store in oman refused to fix my iphone due to ( he said) it was not purchased in oman. and the warranty only for regional warranty. Is it true that the warranty in iphone had this kind of set up? what i know iphone warranty is international warranty.
    could any body confirm this?
    Thanks
    No, the iPhone does not have an international warranty.  This is incorrect.  Where did you get that information?
    An iPhone purchased in the US is serviceable in the US, and sometimes Canada.  The warranty explicitly states that Apple reserves the right to limit service of the device to the country of origin/purchase.

    Where was the original phone purchased from? What is the exact error you are receiving when trying to activate the device? Was the original phone possibly hacked to be used with another carrier before this one?
