My iPhone 4 was lost ages ago, it has found its way back to me but it has a pin code and been registered to a different Apple ID how can I undo this

So I lost my iPhone 4 about 2/3yrs ago ,I got a replacement 4s though insurance at the time. Somehow my old iPhone 4 has made its way back to me a week ago how ever it has a lock code which I don't have any idea what it would be and it's also been registered to another Apple ID so it won't allow me to register it even though I am the rightfull owner. Can anyone help me get this fixed please?? My partner 'a mobile broke a week ago and can't afford another one atm so this will be very helpful if I can get it sorted thanks

Two issues. As Rudegar says, there is nothing you can do to use the phone without the cooperation of whoever owns the Apple ID the phone is locked to.
The other issue is that since you got a replacement from your insurance company the found phone legally belongs to the insurance company.

My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode. I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone. How can I fix this

My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode. I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone. Is there a way for me to use my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number.

If you cannot get this information from the seller

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
There is No Workaroud for Activation Lock.

Hi I have itunes UK on my lap top and my daughter has been bought an Itunes USA gift card how can I use this please?

Gift cards can only be used in the country in which they are purchased - so in order to use a US gift card you would need to have a US iTunes account.

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod syncing without problems on one computer.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
On your mum's iPhone go to Settings > General > About > Name - put in your mum's name so that iTunes can tell them apart.

One of you will need to migrate to a separate iCloud account, then you can delete the other person's data from each account.
To migrate to a new account, start by saving an photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll to your camera roll. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing errow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, provide the account password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
You can then each to to your iCloud accounts on icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.
