My friend gave me a 2nd hand iphone 4S.  The previous owner (not the person who sold it to me) has his phone connected to the computer I Cloud for Find My Phone. How can I change to my apple id and apple password to start using my phone?

Thank you for any light you can shine on this issue!  LisaKaye

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    You may reset the password on your account by opening https://iforgot.apple.com/ in Safari and entering your Apple ID (your email address, which the moderators should have removed earlier).
    You won't be able to set the password to your email address, or a recently-used password (if I remember correctly).
    Once you change your password, you should update your password on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Store, then tapping the "Apple ID: <username>" cell at the top to re-enter your password.  (Your iOS device may prompt you for the new password before getting to Settings as well.)
    Hope that helps.  If you have a different issue, please post a follow-up message.

    How can i changed my security answers in my apple id???

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My iTunes Match Account is blocked for 90 days! How can I change this?

    I don't know what's happened with my Account by iTunes Match. I cant connect either my iPhone nor my iPad with iCloud.. For 90 days! How can I change this? Can someone help me please?!
    Thanks!!!!

    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    Making people wait would, say, inconvenience a person  going around to their friends' houses and download all their music on their friends' computers.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • Can't update iOS software - 2nd hand MacBook still wants previous owner's Apple ID

    Hi everyone,
    I recently got a 2nd hand MacBook Pro.  However I can't update the core Apple software (iOS etc) since it keeps asking me for the previous owner's Apple ID.  The previous owner has deauthorised the MacBook via their Apple account, but software updates still ask for his ID, not mine.
    I have registered the MacBook under my name, i.e. I am registered as the owner, but I can't update it.
    Any ideas/suggestions would be gratefully received!  Many thanks.

    Hi Niel,
    Thanks for your fast reply.
    A couple of questions if that's OK?
    - How do I uninstall/delete things like iPhoto, iMovie to be able to reinstall them again?  I'm sorry, I'm new to Macs, so I'm not yet familiar with the details.
    - If I erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS, is there any way to save my files/data/configuration to save me having to set everything up again?
    Many thanks

  • Single open tab, Click "x" to close, browser defaults to a web page for my bank. How can I change to "blank" or some other page?

    Have a single open tab. Regardless of the website active in that tab, if I close it (click "x"), FF shows my bank's homepage. I'd prefer not to display my bank homepage. How can I change to another page or, preferably, a "blank" page?
    This happens regardless of the page current when I close the single tab and after I close and restart FF. Haven't tried rebooting computer.
