IPhone registered to someone else?

When registering my product here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/PramsAddRegisterProduct.do When I added my serial number, it said that it was registered to someone else... I was wondering if the other regestation could be canceled, or what should i do otherwise?

You mean that during the Setup Assistant, it is prompting you for an Apple ID and Password?  Or do you currently have access to the device?
If so, in the Settings > iCloud, is there an Apple ID listed at the top?  Is Find My iPhone turned on?  If so, then you need to return the device, or get the previous owner to remove the device from their iCloud/FMiP Account.

  • Can i reregister my iphone 4 on someone else???

    Hi People!
    I bought one Brand new iphone 4 and it brake in a few months. So when i took it back they swap my phone with a used one refubrished from Apple. The problem is that the phone is already registered to someone else. Can i reregister it to my name?
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    Example Scenario is like this : Please advise
    If I would like to give my iphone 4s to someone ( to subsidise for a debt )
    but I have already registered my phone under support profile at link below :
    https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    • Firstly, Is it possible ? If yes then :
    • What else should i do before handing the phone over  
    • would there still be a warranty over it ( as it is only 2 months old )
    Thanks in advance

  • Imei number registered to someone else cant unlock

    I have an iphone thats' imei number is registered to someone else , does that mean i cant unlock it because it itsnt registered to me ?

    Carriers will generally only authorize unlocking for the last person to use the phone on their network. If not you, your only choices are to either establish service yourself, then request the phone be unlocked, or get whoever used it last on the network to request the unlock.

  • Macbook Air Already Registered To Someone Else, Apple's Problem or JB HI-FI's Problem?

    Hi every,
    I purchased a Ex Demo Macbook Air from JB Hi-FI 2 weeks ago which is a 2011 model, ( salesmen said it was mid 2012 ) but anyways that's another matter. I was using my Air today and i experienced a fault with the sound, I was on the desktop and went to open an app and then a sound started (like a static ticking) which was loud and i was unable to close the app as it never opened and i couldnt restart or shut down.
    After holding the power button down to restart it, i thought, i should register this new Macbook Air under my account, incase something is wrong with it.
    So i went to the apple site and logged in and entered my serial to register it for the 1 year warranty cover and low and behold, it's already been registered! Also the service repairs is valid for another 4 days, Phone Tech Support is expired, Applecare extention option expires in 4 days also.
    So moving forward, This product i have bought is registered to someone else. Am i in my rights to request a brand new unit, and if they don't make mid 2011 models anymore and I entitled to a lastest model? Under the retail purchasing laws i am entitled to 1 year warrenty and the services provided when purchasing IE: phone support etc.
    On Apple's website it says the following:
    If you believe the information shown for your product is incorrect, you can submit your proof of purchase online or by fax. Your sales receipt is needed for Apple's 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan validation, so be sure to keep it in a safe place. Apple's 1-year limited warranty is the same whether or not you register.
    My problem now is, after experiencing the sound fault i experienced, should i try and talk to JB HI-FI or fill out the proof of purchase for Apple and subit to them and see what happens?
    Thanks in advance for your advise, and i hope this makes sence.

    should i try and talk to JB HI-FI
    Yes. You should take the computer the place you bought it from and talk to them.

  • Used iPad, registered to someone else

    I bought an iPad2 from Gazelle but it is registered to someone else.  When I asked about this they just offered to return (but not exchange the unit). 
    I know you can't "find" it if it is lost or stolen, but if you want a used ipad you can register yourself do you have to buy it from an individual rather than a place like Gazelle.  It is a great ipad, there just doesn't seem to be a place to call and ask.
    thanks

    You'll find the iPad to be great!
    Here's the reference manual, which you may find helpful:
    iPad User Guide - For iOS 7 (October 2013)Nov 1, 2013 - 23 MB
    Gazelle warns sellers to erase the device and remove the activation lock.  Somehow, unfortunately, the one you bought got through inspection.  I would guess that is rare.
    Enjoy!

  • My IPhone appears as someone else's when plugged into my computer.

    When it shows up as a "drive" it is not shown as the name of my Iphone but someone else's. All of my things are on the phone, the name is just incorrect.
    How can I correct this?

    The app history and web history is on your your phone and that should not be accessible over the wifi network to others.  If oyu are concerned about web history you can turn on private browsing in settings/safari and clear history and cookies and data

  • Requirements for transferring new iPhone 5 to someone else

    I just received a new iPhone 5 for my 2-year upgrade but am considering selling or giving to one of my kids for Christmas since money's tight.  I'd still like to keep my 2-year plan.
    What must do before selling/giving to someone else?  Do I need to contact Verizon and/or activate?  If so, do I have to open the box?  I'd prefer to keep sealed to preserve value in either situation.
    Please advise.  Thanks

    My guess is something went wrong with the transfer.
    I would go back to the store and try to talk with the same person who helped you the first time  to see if they can help.
    In Settings>iTunes and App Store, do you see your Apple ID or the other one?
    And did you previously have an iPhone or did you have a different kind of phone?

  • New iPhone 5 shows someone else's Apple ID

    Hello
    I have just upgraded to an iPhone 5s. I've just tried to update/download some apps but when it asks for my Apple ID it is showing someone else's e-mail address.
    I have been into settings and it all looks ok in the App Store bit (has my Apple ID). But it's not letting me log in to check.
    All is well on my iPad......
    Can anyone help as I'm confused.
    Thanking you in anticipation .......

  • How do i transfer an itunes account from my old computer to another computer which already has an itunes account registered to someone else

    how do i transfer an itunes account from one computer to another which already has another account on it which is registered with someone else

    There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
    To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.

  • Why are my notes on iPhone replaced by someone else's?

    I was typing a note on my Mac and suddenly it disappeared along with all my other notes except for one through my yahoo account. I then looked at my iPhone and all my notes on my phone disappeared as well except for that same one. Also on my phone, three notes from somebody else appeared. I checked my mail, contacts and calendars settings and they all seem right. What happened to my notes? Could somebody else have access to my notes right now? I'm not using iCloud for my notes.

    Sounds like someone is using your Apple ID/password. You should immediately change your password.

  • Find my iPhone is showing someone else's device

    I logged into Find my iPhone last night and along with the devices attached to my iCloud account, there was an extra device not belonging to me.
    It wasn't an old device that I had not removed from the account, it was someone elses MacBook and had their name next to it.
    I removed the device from the list, quickly logged out, and changed my iCloud password. But upon logging back in later in the evening, the device had reappeared.
    I again removed it, logged out and changed my password, but this still didn't work. So far upon loggin in this morning it hasn't shown up but I am concerned that if I can see someone elses device, that they may be able to see mine (which means they could possibly lock and / or erase my devices)
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Take it back to the store where you got it.
