My iPhone is linked an strange iCloud

Hi all,
I've received an iPhone 6+ from my uncle (bought in US) as a gift. At the time, i did not care about iCloud account so i carry out factory resetting, and then the nightmare is beginning. I and my uncle don't know why this account (m****@icloud.com) stucked in our phone because i he said this iphone is brand new.
Especially the Chinese message, i don't understand it. Can anybody help (maybe a hint) for me to contact the owner of this account to know what happen?

Yes, you need to contact the person whose account that is.   Quite how you're going to do that may of course be a problem.  The phone is activation locked to that person's account and only they can unlock it, or provide you with the necessary information.

    How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account for iPhone 4s?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  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 iPhone on your device. Then 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.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you can't contact the owner, you may be able to sell it as 'not working, for spare parts only'.

  • HT204053 My Iphone is linked to my wifes Iphone. Want to seperate and establish my own Icloud acct. How can I do that ?

    My Iphone is linked to my wife's Iphone. Want to seperate and establish my own Icloud account. How can this be done.

    First go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data from your account.  These changes will be reflected on each phone;  when you're finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data in them.

  • HT4910 I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all contacts

    I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all the contacts.
    Can you please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT4436 How many devices (e.g. computer and laptop and ipad and iphone) can be linked to one iCloud account? Thanks.

    How many devices (e.g. computer and laptop and ipad and iphone) can be linked to one iCloud account?
    Thanks.

    At least 255 separate devices. But if you have a lot of users each with devices of their own, then they should each have separate user accounts, separate Apple IDs, and separate iTunes accounts; this will generally require at least one Apple ID/iCloud account per user.

  • Contacts won't sync across 2 iPhones linked to one iCloud account.

    I have 2 iPhones linked to one iCloud account. Recently, I have noticed that the new contacts I save on the second iPhone (iPhone 5), do not necessarily appear on the first iPhone (iPhone 4S). How do I ensure that this happens seamlessly? Both phones have iCloud backup enabled.

    Hello kkrishna1,
    It sounds like you are adding new contacts to phone 1, and they are not appearing in phone 2. I recommend troubleshooting the syncing connection between the phones, and iCloud. Start by checking to see if the contacts are visible at http://www.icloud.com. If so, use the iOS troubleshooting from the following article with phone 2. If not, then try the iOS troubleshooting with phone 1 instead:

  • Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges

    Hi, ok so at my old job i got given a laptop and i synced my iPhone to that laptop using iCloud, now i have left that job and i have bought my own macbook. I just linked my iPhone to my new macbook via iCloud and now pictures from my old work colleges that are obviously using that laptop have popped up on my new laptop, does that mean all my pictures in the last 3 months have been loa
    ding onto that old work laptop as well as my new one??!!! if so how do i delete my pictures from the past 3 months off that old work macbook? HELP!!

    If they are photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll, then delete them from photo stream.  That will delete them from photo stream in iCloud and on any other devices/computers.  Of couse it won't delete them if they have already been moved out of the photo stream album download folder on the work computer.
    Then change your iCloud password so the old work computer no longer has access to your iCloud data or photo stream.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original 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. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original 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.

  • Find my iPhone "no location available" after iCloud...

    I've tried to install "find my iphone" on 3gs when I was on 4.3.3 or 4.3.5 (I don't know exactly). I used Mac OSX Lion to make a @me account. it did not work. It was "no Location available", and I thought well maybe I'm supposed to be on ios 5 for it to work!. now I'm on 5.0.1 and tried again. I still shows "no location available". for the past 4-5 days I'm trying to know why!!!!
    strangely it knows when I turn on & off "find my iphone" on my 3gs. but no location shows. I have another iPhone 3gs. with the same ios, different apple id. and it shows location on same wifi network, rapidly!!!
    I've tried following:
    0-cheking apple troubleshooting instruction: correct time/place/apple ID/...all ok!
    1-multiple Restore
    2-turning on off location service, with or without reboot
    3-deletting and re-adding apple id/icloud id/ with or without reboot
    4-changing apple id/icloud id
    5-changing wifi connection
    6-changing data connection
    7-reseting network settings
    8-reading every article about this problem
    9-praying
    it doesn't work.
    just want to know how many people are out there like me!?
    and is there anyone with a sloution for this problem?! my guess is that it does not register my device on icloud server, for whatever reason!!!

    Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
    Why your iPhone  not appears in Find My iPhone?
    The reasons:
    Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
    Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
    The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
    Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
    Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
    Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
    Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

  • How do I get rid of other accounts linked to my iCloud?

    I just purchased a brand new iPhone 5S and I am currently working to restore the settings and info that was backed up in my iCloud from my iPhone 5. When I logged into my primary account (I've had maybe one or two other Apple accounts due to forgetting a password), it's asking for a password to several other accounts, none of which are familiar to me or belong to me. I'm confused about why it is doing this and I am concerned that maybe my previous iPhone was hacked or whatever it might be. Overall, I just wanted to have my one main account that I purchase all of my music and apps through linked to my iCloud and I don't want these random accounts to keep popping up, asking for a password. Can anyone help?

    If this is happening while restoring the iCloud backup of your old phone it's because there must have been apps or other purchased media on it that were purchased using these other IDs.  During the restore process, iCloud will download purchased media back to the phone from the iTunes & App store but you must authenticate the IDs used to purchase this media by providing the password before it will do so.  If you don't know it, see if you have to option to cancel the prompt and continue restoring the backup.  That will allow the restore to proceed without restoring the media purchased with these IDs.
