  • HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it

    I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?

    Get a refund immediately.
    You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone.  It is Activation Locked as described here:

    Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you.

  • HT1212 I bought a iphone 4s off ebay, the seller's daughter forgot to remove her password but did restore everything else. Its not synced with my itunes so I am not able to go that route. What other way can I restore this Iphone 4S.

    I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.

    If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it.  No other way to go.

    No @fjwhiston If apple had not made this lock, one of us could have a working iPhone. Doesn't matter if it was stolen. I paid so its apples fault. now NONE of us, me or the original owner has a working iPhone.
    whats better?
    A. locking the phone, original owner has lost it, buying it and not being to use it.
    B. Locking the iPhone after its stolen, but now new owner cant use it or old owner cant.
    C. The iPhone is locked, but instead of NOONE being able to use it "original owner or me", one of us has a working iPhone?
    answer is C, but now nobody has a working iPhone, its a LOSE-LOSE scenario. WHICH IS COMPLETE RUBISH
    Sorry, but your anger is 100% misdirected.  Before Activation Lock, anyone could steal an iPhone (which happens every few minutes around the world), wipe it and set it up as their phone.  How would you feel if your phone was stolen and you knew the thief could set it up?
    Activation lock is just one of the great new features Apple has introduced in the last two years.  You won't find a single person on this forum who thinks otherwise.  If you live in California, ALL phones are going to be required to have a kill switch.  ALL PHONES.  That has been put in law by the California Legislature.  Once activated, the kill switch will render that phone useless for all time. 
    If you have anyone you should be angry with it's ebay.  They sold you a device you can't use and you need to return it to them and get a refund.  Call them and complain until you reach someone who can fix this for you.  You shouldn't be out $300.  It's not your fault.  But you can't be mad at Apple for what is clearly ebay's fault.

  • Hi, I bought an iPhone 5 last Friday and this afternoon it will not charge!  What skould I do?

    My Iphone 5 will not Charge!  what should I do?

    Please stop giving this - wrong - advice.
    This "hard" reset is essentially pulling the power from the phone without giving it a chance to clean up and power down gracefully.
    Would you recommend to people to pull the power plug from the wall on a running computer to solve an issue?
    The proper way to restart is to hold down the Sleep/Wake switch, then Slide to power off. Push the switch again to power back on.
    This gives the phone a chance to shutdown properly by flushing the caches and buffers, closing open files, and terminating running processes correctly. Pulling power with a "hard" reset can corrupt the data on the phone and make things worse. It achieves nothing extra than a proper restart.
    The only reason to do what you are advising is when the phone is completely frozen and will not respond to the normal shutdown.

  • IPhone 5 was charging and shut down. Will not turn on..help?

    ? Left IPhone 5 charging. Phone shut down and will not turn on now. Help?

    Doesn't matter when you purchased your phone. All iPhone 5s are still under warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Hello,
    I'm surprised it ever chatged, most Keyboards only supply 500 mA to their USB ports, most chargeable devices want 1.5 Amps.
    I'd get a USB extention cable to run from the back so no need to reach behind.

  • Just updated my iPhone 4S to ISO6 and now the phone will not pair with my car(Lexus ) is this an issue with the car firmware or iOS 6?

    Just updated my 4s to iSo 6 and now the phone does to pair with my Lexus anyone have/solve this issue? Is it a firmware problem with the car?

    Was it pairing before the iOS update?
    If so, delete the pairings in the device and the car, then try again.
    If it was not, the issue is most likely the car.
