It's a security risk to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) running slow on start-up

Hi,
My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) seems to be running very slow on start-up and when i have more than two applications open. This only seems to have become apparent following my upgrade to Yosemite. I read a few blogs and i decided to disable FileVault in the hope that it would speed up, but it has not. I have also verified and repaired permissions of the HD and start-up disk in Recovery mode. Can anyone help?

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

MY IMAC don't see the main server and all the network! I didn't nothing on his system, but since some days it is out of network on my company. And what is curious is that others computers can see mine. Some one can help me??

My IMAC lost the network, it can be seen but cannot see! What I have to do?

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

Airport making MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) really slow on start up

The computer will start up well until It gets to the desktop once there it freezez for about 10 minutes but only if I have the airport on, I've tried booting it with the airport off and no problem at all. Is anyone haveing the same problem. i've tried a lot of thing and nothing seems to work. Any Advice?
thanks,

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Computer very slow to do anything. Takes minutes to even move to trash.

How can I speed up computer? It takes a long time for anything to happen. It even takes minutes to move items to trash!

Hi Henry,
How old is it?
How much RAM is installed?
Exactly which model is it?
How much free space is available on the HD?
Have you tried anything, like repairing permission or verifying/repairing disk?

Slow at initial loading of some Pages - and iTunes Store is slow as well...

Hi all,
Since some days, I noticed that Safari loads some of the pages very slowly, such as Ebay, Appleinsider, and also Apple.com. Once you are on a page, the navigation inside is mostly quite normal - also the download speed is within it's usual range. But inital loading of a lot of sites takes almost a minute's time. Also iTunes Store loads very very slowly. I freshly installed 10.4.8 recently to (successfully) fix another problem I had with my AirportExpress, so I frankly would not know what setting might be affected here. Did anyone experience the same issues? Thanks a lot.

Hi Dave,
Network type problems have been reported with 10.4.8. The usual remedy has been either to "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utility folder, or to reapply the 10.4.8 combined update, applying permissions after the install/restart.
One other remedy for Network type problems that has seemed to help others:
Go to your System Preferences>Network panel: make sure in the Show drop down menu in Network Configuration, your primary cable protocol, in your case "airport" is first on the list (you can drag it there). Other protocols you don't use ought to be unchecked. Then in the Show menu, select "airport". In the airport panel remove any wi-fi locations you don't use (if you travel and use wi-fi, there's a tendency to accumulate these things). Lastly, in the TCP panel>DNS servers, enter 4.2.2.2, which is a Verizon number available to the public. Select "apply".
One last thing, make sure your Airport version is up-to-date - 6.3. You can check this via Software Update in System Preferences.

Macbook slow to start-up and displays unusual start-up screen

Hey everyone,
For the last week or so my Macbook has been behaving strangely when I start it up from sleep: it displays the screen you would normally get after your battery has fully emptied and you have just powered up your computer again (I'm not 100% sure if that makes total sense..it's the screen with the white bars on the bottom that slowly fill up before it takes you to your login screen) This only happens when my Macbook has run out of charge and automatically goes to sleep and then I plug it in and power it up again, which is why I'm concerned because my computer is plugged in when this happens + the battery is fully charged. Also, the computer is very slow to start up and takes about a minute before I can properly log in (the screen freezes, sometimes it goes black for a couple of seconds and then it goes back to normal) and finally the computer seems to be a bit laggy at times and slower than usual. I have already verified my disk and repaired all the errors that came up (using Disk Utility), and this doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
I am very confused and cannot figure out why this is happening; I've bought my Macbook only a year ago and I always take exceptional care of it. Has anyone else come across this problem before? If anyone could provide any input or help me figure out the cause, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your help in advance

Linc - Thank you so much for your response, at least I now understand what is causing this problem. I'm wondering if you know of a way to stop the computer from going into safe sleep (i.e turn this feature off) while it is plugged into AC power? This has never happened in the last 12 months that I've owned my Macbook and now I'm confused as to why this suddenly changed.
Thanks again in advance for your help

Does adding applicaions to Dock slow down start up time?

Does adding applicaions to Dock slow down start up time? I'm thinking about placing the whole creative suite on dock but I'm unsure whether it will slow down time it takes to start up my laptop, please help.

On the dock? Not particularly. If you have things starting up with the computer then yes.
Having lots of stuff on your desktop does though.
Best of luck.
