Need to turn off the activation lock, I didn't buy it or find it

My dad bought ~50 iphone 5s for his business. He is upgrading his phone to a 6 and wants to give me his old 5. His IT guy accidentally erased the phone without disabling the icloud activation lock. My dad has too many emails and no idea of the right one for the apple ID of this particular phone.

Take it and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

  • I am returning to using firefox 4.?.....I will need to turn off the automatic software update so that it does not update back up to firefox 7 again.

    Hi, I am back again with my tweaked brain. LOL I am trying to go back to Firefox 4, which I had so much less trouble with and liked a whole lot more. I am told that after installing the older version I need to turn off the automatic Firefox software update (if enabled)........I don't know where the automatic software update is located. Can you help me? Thank you for your help.......I will check back in a little while.......GOD bless you and all that you do for others.........loving you in Christ.......<3

    You can try to clear the cache and cookies to see if that makes a difference:
    <h3>Clearing Cache</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    <h3>Clearing Cookies</h3>
    #Go to Firefox > Tools > Privacy > Remove Individual Cookies
    #Find the site (ebay.com) that's having problems and clear all cookies.
    #Restart Firefox
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Merge operation in Lightroom cc turn off the active filter

    Merge to HDR / Panorama turn off the active filter in LR

    Yes, this is to prevent confusion when the merge result falls outside of the active filter and is thus hidden from the user.  Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't - so we chose consistency of behavior.
    You should be able to prevent this by clicking the padlock icon in the upper right of the grid view and filter area. This will lock the filter.

  • Cannot get turn-by-turn directions via car bluetooth. Do I need to turn off the car radio? I have a 2012 Camry.

    Is anyone else having this issue? I've tried Apple Maps and Google Maps. The audio directions do not come out of the car speakers or the phone itself. I have a iPhone 4S and a 2012 Camry. Do I need to turn off the car radio?

    I can confirm that Google maps and Navigon give Turn by Turn instructions via Bluetooth in my iOS6 iPhone 5. Maps does not.
    I assume this is an error and will be amazed if it's not fixed by release of iOS7 in the Autum.

  • How do i turn off the auto lock feature?  In my options it does not have "never" on it.  It is only timed amounts.

    How do I turn off the auto lock feature.  I have only timed options.  There is not the "never" option available.

    I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

    This typifies the difference between Cook and Jobs. Poor execution of a simple feature. Dumb and thoughtless. As cliche as it may be Apple isn't exceptional without Steve. Perhaps only Johnny Ives can deliver us something as great as Jobs. I laugh as my iphone starts to become irrelevant. ?

    How do we turn off the alert emails when we do a search with find my iphone?

    You are not talking to Apple on here, we are all fellow users and not Apple employees.  You can comment to Apple by giving feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    What we have heard is this 'feature' was added as a result of the high-profile downloads of celebrity photos from iCloud accounts.

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • Need to turn off the iCloud services

    I no longer have the iPhone 4s. Now I cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users on my new cell phone. I need to turn off iMessage.

    If you registed it with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID you were using for iMessage.
