My MacBook says "you must sign in with an Apple ID that was used to purchase "OS X MAVERICKS""
I was trying to restore my MacBook but I think I might of erased the wrong thing but I don't know how to get it back to normal because this message keeps popping up
Usually, you only see this message when you are in the Mac App Store and are tying to download an app purchased using a different ID.
Under Featured tab, you'll see Quick Links on the right side.
Under Accounts, select to Sign Out
Enter the ID and password you used to purchase the item.
If this doesn't apply to your situation, please provide the details of what is causing the error to popup.

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.

my iPad shut down on its own and when i switched it on, it asks to 'Activate iPad' and reads below 'This iPad was lost and erased. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPad". Please help!!!!
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?

this iphone is currently linked to an apple id *********sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this iphone...i got this when i connect my iphone to itunes...who can help me???plzzz
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. -

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. -

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.

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:

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.)

You are signed in with different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts
You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with “[email protected]”?
If you choose to sync then these podcasts and stations will be merged with any that have been syncing on other devices or computers.
Why am I keep getting this memo everytime I start my Itunes?? How to make it disappear?
Many thanks.Please sign out of the iTunes Store by selecting
Store ▹ Sign Out
from the iTunes menu bar. Then sign back in. -
