"My apple ID" cannot be used unlock this iPhone..??!

Is there a solution to this problem?

You need to use the id that was used in Settings > iCloud on the phone

    Use another device (Mac, Macbook) to reset your Apple ID...just had a similar experience.

  • No more free apple id could be used on this iPhone device then what should I do to sign in with my new Id?

    Please help me with this problem I had created a new apple Id and signed in with that but my device is telling that no more free Id could be used in this device .what should I do to sign in with a new free id?

    Any one Mac or iOS device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the serial number, not the user account. If you have already created three then all you can do is to use another Mac or iOS device to create a new iCloud account - once done you can sign into it on the device in question.

  • Incorrect apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone

    Having a bit of a mare tonight. I have tried to restore from backup on my iMac to my girlfriends iPhone 5, I made the back up last night, and also backed up to iCloud  last night using her apple id and password. Now according to Apples advice, if iTunes says there is not enough space to restore, go to iPhone and delete all content and settings etc. I did this it asked for iCloud login details etc and I deleted all content, when I plugged in to iTunes to retrieve the previous backup, I cannot get past the activation lock because of password. I can login to iCloud OK, (the same ID used to back up to iCloud last night!) with password but it won't accept it. This is so stupid I don't know where to start, the phone is now completely bricked, and can't even be activated yet alone restored.
    She has had this phone from new but iCloud has always been a mess on this phone since iOS 7.
    Any ideas??

    From iTunes
    This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s●●●●●@t●●●●●.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

  • 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.

  • "cannot be used to unlock this iphone"

    Hi,
    i restore my iphone to upgrade to ios 7.0.2 then this message display when i write my Apple ID
    "cannot be used to unlock this iphone" ..
    what can i do to open my iphone ???

    Give this a try (this is normally the proceedure when you want to sell the phone on).
    1st Turn the phone completely off.  Next goto http://icloud.com and log in,
    Next select 'Find My iPhone', select your phone from the dropdown list and select 'Remove Device'.
    Log out of your icloud account, Put phone into DFU mode, Restore phone and set up as a new iphone.
    Following the above proceedure will remove the activation lock
    Hope this helps

    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.

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

  • HT4759 Please help me. My Apple id not be used in iCloud. After sign in, to iCloud, I have error massage: This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

    For whatever reasons, the "None" option is not always available to all users and I think it may be related to what country you live in. Short of contacting Apple to get it straightened out, if you haven't done anything with your new ID ye - you can create an Apple ID without a credit card and simply abandon the one that you just created.
    This explains how you can creaet an ID without a credit card.

    The two big things that you have to remember for this to work are ... you have to sign out of your existing Apple ID .... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Then you have to try to download a free app to bring up the window that asks you to sign in or create an ID. Read the information on the website that I referenced above.
    If you have not used the original Apple ID for anything yet, you can simply ignore it and use the new one - or like I said earlier - contact iTunes support and ask them to help you sort it out.
    Here is a link to iTunes support. You can change the country in the bottom right corner of the screen.

    I can't download anything on the Mac App store. It says This Apple ID cannot be used for the Mac App Store.

    I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

  • This apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe Sign in with a different Apple ID

    When I try and use my Apple ID to setup the free find my account on MobileMe I get this error after I hit the OK on the pop that reads Terms of service have changed.
    "This apple id cannot be used for MobileMe. Sign in with a differant Apple ID"
    I can see the TOS page behind the pop up box my Apple ID is valid
    Any Suggestions
    Thanks
    Dennis

    I'm having the same issue with my iPad. I also used to have MobileMe, but cancelled. I seem to have two Apple ID's with the same email address. One Apple ID is not an email, the other Apple ID is my email address. They have different passwords and I can manage both. My iTunes Store one is the one without the email address. I had to use the email address Apple ID for Game Room.
    I am in Live Chat Support with Apple right now.

  • HT2589 ibooks still gives me the following error message "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store."

    I've done all of the above suggested sign in methods, and yet ibooks gives me the following error message "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store."

    Found this in the forums here, it works.
    "OK...I think I have found a solution.  In settings, select tunes &amp; app store.  click on Apple ID> View Apple ID>Payment Information. It appears it is not saving or requiring payment information to be updated. This worked for me."
    Thanks

  • Unsupported Apple ID - This Apple ID cannot be used to sing in to iCloud

    Okay, so I foolishly updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 the moment it was released into the wild on April 9, 2015. This is the rude welcome I get when I try to sign into iCloud in System Preferences > iCloud:
    Unsupported Apple ID
    This Apple ID cannot be used to sing in to iCloud.
    Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.
    I have done absolutely no changes to my user settings.
    Please help!

    Sounds like you need to create a new Apple ID.

  • This apple id cannot be used to sign it to icloud

    I have this error when I tried to connect to iCloud.

    Anyone can help me with this ?

    Hey everyone. I'm in the same boat. My Apple ID (used for apps in the App Store, purchases in iTunes, etc), is an '@gmail.com' email. My Apple ID gmail account has also been verified, and I can log onto iCloud.com with it, but I can not register iCloud on my iOS 5 device (my iPhone 4) with the same Apple ID. This is very frustrating. I do not want to have an iCloud ID and an Apple ID. Very annoying.
