New iPhone 5 shows someone else's Apple ID

Hello
I have just upgraded to an iPhone 5s. I've just tried to update/download some apps but when it asks for my Apple ID it is showing someone else's e-mail address.
I have been into settings and it all looks ok in the App Store bit (has my Apple ID). But it's not letting me log in to check.
All is well on my iPad......
Can anyone help as I'm confused.
Thanking you in anticipation .......
Jo

My guess is something went wrong with the transfer.
I would go back to the store and try to talk with the same person who helped you the first time to see if they can help.
In Settings>iTunes and App Store, do you see your Apple ID or the other one?
And did you previously have an iPhone or did you have a different kind of phone?

My brand new iPhone 5S is showing someone else's Apple ID?!

I recently bought a new iPhone from the Apple Store. I currently have an iPhone 4 so I am trying to restore my new iPhone from iCloud back up. However when I put in my Apple ID and password and then select my most recent back up to back up from, it asks me for the password from someone else's email address?! I do not recognise this email address at all, have Apple given me a second hand phone?!

Take it back to the store where you got it.

Requirements for transferring new iPhone 5 to someone else

I just received a new iPhone 5 for my 2-year upgrade but am considering selling or giving to one of my kids for Christmas since money's tight. I'd still like to keep my 2-year plan.
What must do before selling/giving to someone else? Do I need to contact Verizon and/or activate? If so, do I have to open the box? I'd prefer to keep sealed to preserve value in either situation.
Please advise. Thanks

Tansferring new iphone data to someone else's old CPU

I have given my old CPU to a friend and it is only recognizing my account, she removed the software and re-installed itunes and it is the same thing. It shows her iPhone serial number, but she can't sync her phone. I there somewhere on the c drive that she can go in to change the account to her and not me?

- Have she tried going to the Store tab in iTunes and Deauthorizing the computer and then Authorizing The Compute for her iTunes account?
- She should also go to the Devices tab in iTunes and delete the backup for you iDevce.
- One can only sync an iDevice with one computer/iTunes library. It should like your friend is change her syncing computer. She has to move her iTunes library to the "new" computer. She also has to move her iDevice backup file to the "new" computer. That file is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- One the stuff is moves, she has to restore her iDevice from the backup she just move and then sync the iDevice.

Find my iPhone is showing someone else's device

I logged into Find my iPhone last night and along with the devices attached to my iCloud account, there was an extra device not belonging to me.
It wasn't an old device that I had not removed from the account, it was someone elses MacBook and had their name next to it.
I removed the device from the list, quickly logged out, and changed my iCloud password. But upon logging back in later in the evening, the device had reappeared.
I again removed it, logged out and changed my password, but this still didn't work. So far upon loggin in this morning it hasn't shown up but I am concerned that if I can see someone elses device, that they may be able to see mine (which means they could possibly lock and / or erase my devices)
Has anyone else had this issue?

Take it back to the store where you got it.

When I try to update apps in App Store show someone else's Apple ID

Each application has the associated Apple ID stored inside it. This can't be changed without deleting and redownloading it.

After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

The title says it all.
Some background info:
1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015. The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
What happened;
1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio. It had the leather Apple case on it. Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
2. Phone responds to touch, but not property. I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
What I have done:
1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever. The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly. This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
I really hope someone here has some insight.
Thank you.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Someone else's Apple ID is showing.

Someone else's Apple ID is showing up as mine while I'm activating my new iPhone 6. Why is this happening and how can I resolve.
The phone was bought from EE so should be brand new.

There is nothing at all you can do to resolve this. Take it back to the shop and insist on a replacement which works.
Apple have provided a method of checking before purchase that an iOS device isn't Activation Locked:

Basically you just go to https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ and enter the IMEI or serial number and a catchpa.

New 5c someone else's Apple ID ?

new 5c but someone else's Apple ID on app updates? Does this mean its refurb?

Where did you purchase it?
It certainly doesn't sound new.
I would take it back and get my money back if I were you.
With someelse's Apple ID on it that iPhone will be totally worthless to you.

iOS version? iCloud ID? iTunes ID? How did someone else's ID get on your phone"

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

I have 14 Apps that have updates available. I was able to update a few using my Apple ID. However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results. This is fairly new problem. I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone. But not anymore. I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
Thanks

Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

ICloud Backup restoring someone else's Apple ID information.

Hey guys,
Every time I restore from a particular backup on my iPad, it restores and constantly pops up someone else's Apple ID. I won't specify the ID for security reasons, but I have isolated it to the iCloud backup. I can backup from the iCloud backup in iTunes and restore from that backup with no issues. Of course I know that the backups from iCloud and iTunes are completely separate, but I'm curious as to what might cause this to happen? Might it be pulling the information from the iCloud server farm when restoring my backup, possibly on the same farm as the information for this Apple ID? It has me baffled...
Anyone else experiencing these issues? Either it comes up once, or it shows multiple times. I have some friends who will get multiple different Apple IDs pop up, but more randomly.
Anything helps. The only two relative things I can link between accounts is that we both have Developer accounts. I don't know if this has anything to do with it? No idea.
Yeti

*UPDATE*
I have run into other friends who are experiencing similar issues with restoring from backups in iCloud that DO NOT have developer accounts. Does anyone have any insight on what might be causing this? Is there somewhere else I should look?
Thank you.

On starting up my new iPhone 4s, it freezes on the apple logo. I have tried the reset buttons trick and have tried restoring again too but nothing works. Any other ideas? Or is the phone simply corrupt in some way?

Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore without using the latest backup?
Recovery mode and How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If setting up as new device does not work, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store.
Did you try to remove the ipsw firmware file and restore, to make iTunes download a new copy from Apple?
Those files are located here:
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
Mac OS X
iPhone
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
iPad
~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
iPod touch
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
Note: The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.
Windows 7 and Vista
iPhone
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
iPad
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
iPod touch
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Note: If you don't see the AppData folder, you may need to show hidden files.

New iphone purchased with someonse else info on it

I received an email today from someone you purchased an new iphone yesterday at the same store I took my iphone to a few weeks ago for a voice mail problem. This person plugs in her new iphone and my email address came up and no telling what other info of mine might be on her NEW IPONE. How did this happen? ATT says its an Apple issue I can not get anyone at Apple.

A new iPhone that was purchased at an Apple Store or at an AT&T Store?
Not sure how this can occur since the only thing an Apple or AT&T Store does with a new iPhone is activate the iPhone with AT&T.
If at an Apple Store, have you called the Apple Store?
