ITunes user name cannot be used to unblock this phone

hello,
i have recently emigrated to Australia but before I moved out here I was on 02 in the Uk. I asked 02 to unblock my phone which they did and I put a giff gaff sim card in (uk network) and it worked so then took it out of my iphone 5 and put the 02 one back in. Today I have got a sim card from Australia (Vodafone) and have tried to use that sim. When I put the sim in the phone it says
(itunes user name) cannot be used to unblock this phone
it won't let me process any further. I am at a loss as to what to do now? I haven't got the phone on iCloud and have tried everything? I have had the phone from brand new and never changed itunes user name etc. it's weird how the phone is unlocked on giff gaff and I have put that SIM card in and that still works but it doesn't let me use the Vodafone sim. Am I missing something here? Any help would be great. Even the people in the Vodafone shop were at a total loss.
Thanks

I Know it gets on my nerves Idk the very first password I put in for my apple Id and now it sayin i can't use my emai UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Email cannot be used to unlock this phone

Hello,
I have recently changed my iphone 5 password and I accidently forgot it. A friend has managed to help me, but now I'm stuck again. I need to "Activate iPhone" but after I enter my Apple id and my password the iPhone returns this message:"Incorrect Apple ID,"*******@gmail.com cannot be used to unlock this phone"(I wrote my email as * for safety,sorry).I am worried that my Apple id is wrong and I can't manage to find the Apple id I used to activate my iPhone when I bought it. Can someone tell me how can I find the Apple id for this phone? I really need your help.
Thanks,
Sharon.

"User names cannot start with a number" error while adding a user

Is it possible to use WL Portal 7.0 admin framework to manage users with all numeric
user id ?
I got an error "User names cannot start with a number" while trying to add users
with all numeric user ids. I am using "portalAppTools" web app provided with WL
7.0 out of the box.
What "out the box" functionality do I need to change to make this happen ? Thanks
Shah

The problem is that when we have user groups starting with a number, then the search
feature doesn't work for user groups (case # 466837 with BEA).
So, which brings me to the following question:
a. Should the search feature work?
b. What is the limitation? I mean, it is designed not to allow user groups starting
with a number. So, there must be a reason for this. So, if we change "disallowFirstCharDigit",
will it have any impacts on Portal?
As an aside, it seems somewhat strange that the Portals can start with a number!
Thanks in advance

Hi.iforgot to erase iphone 4s and removed it from my friends icloud account.now itunes says this account cannot be used to activate this iphone.i have his id and password,can log in to his icloud account but cant activate iphone.how to solve this problem?

hi.i bought an iphone 4s from my friend.connected to itunes to restore it for a fresh install.after restoring to ios7 i realised that activation lock is enabled.i called my friend and get his id and pass.itunes said pass is wrong and cant activate the phone.then i logged in my friends icloud account (icloud.com said pass is ok) with same password and i removed the phone from 'find my iphone' list.but i forgot to erase the phone before removing it.now itunes says ''this apple id cannot be used to activate this iphone''.when i log in to icloud i cant see the phone in 'find my iphone' list so cant erase it now.can you please advise me step by step how to activate this phone?

APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone?

How do I change the itunes user name on my iphone? When I attempt to purchase an app or update the existing ones, the previous owner of this iphone has their information displayed and asks for the password as their user name is automatically prompted?

The apps are tied to the account from which they were purchased. If the apps were purchased from the previous owners account, then they would have to be updated from that account. you should not have these apps anyway. You need to buy your own.
Read the manual. it will tell you how to sign into your account to buy apps.

I would suggest restoring as new.

HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect. Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes.
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

This is not Apple we are all users here
You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you

Hogwash, as such is impossible.
Doesn't matter though, as you won't be able to use this phone, & Apple can't/won't help you.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

Icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone

Hi I previously managed to set-up my iphone then lock it out by entering my passcode incorrectly too many times. In the end I have to restore the phone via itunes (which took 3 hrs)!.
I'm now trying to reset-up the phone, when I turned it on it remembered the previous icloud account the phone had been set-up with however it would not accept the password. Its now saying this icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone.
When i log into the same icloud account on the PC, the password works, however the find my iphone doesn't show this iphone as being connected.
Any ideas on who I can get this iphone working again.
Thanks Sadie

You cannot Bypass the iPhone Activation Process.
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.

I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.5. Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name. How do you fix this?

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.
