Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You will have to find the person whose Apple ID is currently tied to the phone. Only they can remove the activation lock. If you are unable to find them or they won't remove the lock, then your phone is useless. Take it back to the vendor and get your money back if you can.

    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.

    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.)

  • 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:

    If it has iOS 7 installed Activation lock will prevent using until it is unlocked by the Apple ID of the previous user
    or that ID is removed by the previous owner from the iPhone

    Hello ,
    Need to know the best way to fix this problem this iphone is currently linked to an apple id need to know the way to fix it
    Best Regards

    The ONLY fix is to know the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate the phone. If you don't know this info, then the phone will be useless to you. Apple can't/won't help you.
    There is no other fix.

    Hello,
    I had an iPhone 5 apparently the iPhone was linked to my Apple ID through "Find my iPhone".
    A few days ago my friend upgraded to iOS7.04 and when the phone booted we see on the screen the following message:
    "This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s*****@icloud.com).
    Activate iphone
    this iphone is currently linked to an apple id
    Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone"
    Unfortunately this is a very old account which I don't use anymore and don't know the password for that account, but when I signed in to
    http://www.icloud.com/find with my new Apple ID. I saw the iphone 5 white 16GB under that accout and followed the manual to remove it so it
    won't be linked to my account.
    I have been waiting and also tried to restore the iPhone, still it asks for the old Apple ID...
    What I can do to remove it and restore the iPhone?
    Thank you in advanced.

    so sign in with it, if you dont know it contact the owner
    Peace, Clyde

  • This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID

    I have a second hand iphone 4. After I made an update, the phone asked me for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password.  Well, the previous owner didn’t know too much about tehnology and he also didn’t erase the phone from his trusted device list because the settings were made by a friend of him.   The owner couldn’t help me with the apple ID, he said he can’t contact his friend anymore.  I have all the accessories (including the box) and a payment proof  from the original owner. “This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.”  What can I do? Please, help me with this! Thank you

    Looks like you really need to return it back to the owner, who sold you device where settings were changed by someone else. I wonder if that is possible to steal phone, box and payment proof? The good part is if you do have payment proof from autorized reseller, you can contact apple and ask for unlock, but they will ask your payment proof, not someone else's. So if payment proof was "owner's" he is the one who needs to call Apple and somehow I am willing to bet he will not.

  • This iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID... Help!

    My Husband was in the process of changing his password on his phone and ended up entering the password incorrect too many times causing his phone to be disabled. He took his phone to Apple and they wiped it clean and told him he would need to enter the icloud email that was used to set up the phone. I set up the phone when we purchased and the email that I am attempting to use will not work. Is there anything we can do in this case? I have read several blogs stating it can never be used again if the email is not entered correctly. Would it help to contact our Wireless provider? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Jessica

    Thanks Ralph.
    You are correct, I did end up attempting to contact my provider and everything they offered to help led me to the same place I was. As far as the Apple ID I am using the same email and password and it still is not working. I am not sure what to do next.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Phone is locked and shows enter passcode

    my phone is locked and shows LOCKED SIM and asking to enter passcode,
    when I enter my passcode it says wrong passcode.
    What to do????

    I think this has happened to me before... Try holding down the home button and the lock button until your phone shuts down, this just reboots it and hopefully it will go away! (Btw u won't loose anything by doing this)

    This ipod is currently linked to an Apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod what do i do??

    Use that iD to sign and use the iPod.
    You can go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and change the ID for purchases. The ID is also used in Settings>FaceTime, Setting>iCloud, Settings>Messages>Send abd receive and Settings>Game Center and can ne changed in those locations.

    We are fellow users here on these forums. If you bought the iPad from another person and you are being asked for their id and password to activate it then you will need to contact that previous owner and ask them to remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

    iCloud Backup shows this message
    iphone is currently being restored and will automatically back up when it is done.
    My iPhone has been showing this for a long time.
    is this because my old phone is still Wifi active?
    This is a new phone all contacts and other stuff seems to have downloaded.

    this has nothing to do with your old phone (connected to wifi or not). It has to do with your wifi and new iphone. check wifi connect/restart router. then restart iphone.
