Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

    If you are the original owner of the phone and have forgotten your Apple ID, start here:

    If this is a phone you found, it is useless to you. There is no one who can put you in touch with the original owner and no way to bypass that message.

  • I purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

    I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    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.

  • I reset my ipod and now it says "this ipod is currently linked to an apple id. sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this ipod".

    ok. my ipod touch 5th generation 32gb spontaneously showed me the plug to itunes simbol, so i did, and i had to reset it to factory mode. done. when i start to set it up, it asks me for an apple id used to set it up, the thing is, this apple id was created by my smaller brother at the apple store, and he does not remember the password, neither the apple id, or the security questions, or the data he gave the apple guy who was helping him. basically, i have no idea what this account is. all i know is he affirms the apple id is [email protected] thats al i got. so, is there a way to get trough this? can i go to an apple support center and get the ipod set up? is it useless now? please help me!

    If he doesn't remember the password or the Security Questions, he will have to contact Apple Support to have the Security Questions reset so the password can be reset:

  • After i updated to ios 7 and then downgrade to 6.1.3 on my touch 5 i saw this text on my display "This iphone is currently linked to an apple id. Sign in with the apple id that was used to set up iphone". I've tried to restore in DFU and normal mode. What

    subj

    Downgrading from a developer seed of iOS is not supported and often not possible. If you've tried restoring through DFU mode and are still having problems, ask for assistance in the developer forums you have available to you as an iOS Developer Program member and through which you can address issues with seed versions of Apple's software.
    Regards.

  • This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

    How can I restore this phone when it is linked to another apple account?

    If you’re the iPhone’s original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • My PowerBook shuts down on its own (persists when RAM is changed)

    Hi all,
    My PowerBook shuts down on its own. It will display the "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?", and even with me clicking Cancel, it will just shut off immediately after displaying the sign, as if I pressed and held the Power Button.
    I've sinced change the RAM back to the default piece, but the problem persists.
    Moreover it's a random, although frequent and frustrating, occurance, so I'm not sure if the service centre will take it in since I cannot reproduce the problem.
    I'm using it on a 1920x1200 display.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    first you can try resetting Power Manager.
    the rpoblem may be caused by some software bug, try making new user, then log in as new user and work for a while - if it works ok it's something in the original user software.
    then you can try "archive and install" of the OS.
    also, problem maybe caused by bad keyboard, top case (where the power button is) or logic board.
    anyways keep files backed up and maybe get it diagnosed by service shop.

  • My iPad shut down on its own and now will not turn back on ?

    My iPad turned it self off earlier today it had 13% battery the last I remember looking, so I thought it ran down more than I thought. So I put it on charge and it still wouldn't turn back on, so I left it for a couple of hours, but when I came back it turned on long enough for me to put in my password before it turned off again, it has charged as it now had 58% battery. However I am now trying to turn it back on and it won't do anything more than show the apple logo?!?!
    Help!!!!

  • Firefox shuts down of its own accord when I haven't touched the pc for some time, usually overnight.

    As above. When I restart Firefox it always opens in the same position on the monitor and the same size window even though that wasn't the last position/size as when I left it.
    This is not a crash, it just disappears.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
