    The Apple ID is an email address. Simply email the person at that email address.
    If not successful, turn the iPod in to the police.

    Hi, we have three iPhones and iPods which are currently linked to one apple ID.  I have now set up an apple id for each phone/iPod.  How do I go about re-directing the two accounts to the relevant one that has now been set up please?  I could do with a step by step guide to follow as am worried about loosing aps, music, photo's etc which are on the individual phones.
    Thanks

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

    Are you the original owner of this phone? If so sign in with the Apple ID and password you used when you first set it up.
    Or did you buy is phone used? Contact the person you bought it from and have him/her correct the problem or refund your money.
    You have encountered activation Lock that prevents stolen or lost phones from being activated. As stated the only way around this problem is to have the original owner clear the phone for your use.

    Hello,
    I had an iPhone 5 apparently the iPhone was linked to my Apple ID through "Find my iPhone".
    A few days ago my friend upgraded to iOS7.04 and when the phone booted we see on the screen the following message:
    "This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s*****@icloud.com).
    Activate iphone
    this iphone is currently linked to an apple id
    Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone"
    Unfortunately this is a very old account which I don't use anymore and don't know the password for that account, but when I signed in to
    http://www.icloud.com/find with my new Apple ID. I saw the iphone 5 white 16GB under that accout and followed the manual to remove it so it
    won't be linked to my account.
    I have been waiting and also tried to restore the iPhone, still it asks for the old Apple ID...
    What I can do to remove it and restore the iPhone?
    Thank you in advanced.

    so sign in with it, if you dont know it contact the owner
    Peace, Clyde

    Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You will have to find the person whose Apple ID is currently tied to the phone. Only they can remove the activation lock. If you are unable to find them or they won't remove the lock, then your phone is useless. Take it back to the vendor and get your money back if you can.

    There is no other fix.

    We are fellow users here on these forums. If you bought the iPad from another person and you are being asked for their id and password to activate it then you will need to contact that previous owner and ask them to remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
