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 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

  • 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:

  • This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.

    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.)

    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.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • I purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

    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.

  • How will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

    how will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

    You need to enter the id, and the password, of the account that the phone is linked to.
    Did you buy the phone new or used ? If you bought the phone used and it's still linked to the previous owner's account then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the phone from their account : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support.
    If you bought the phone new and it's your account then enter the id and password that you were using in Settings > iCloud on it

    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?

    If you are the original owner of the phone and have forgotten your Apple ID, start here:

    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.

    I upgraded iphone 4s to iOS6. Now phone just keeps rebooting with the apple sign showing on a black screen. It does not completely start up.

    Hi Lisa 1952,
    What have you done so far to try to fix it? I've tried rebooting several times and it did not work. Tried connecting to iTines but it does not recognize the iPhone.
    My other iPhone 4s restarted successfully after the updgrade but some apps don't function properly. It automatically closes while in use.
    Apple please help. I know it's the weekend but I need the other iPhone to work. Can't use sim with a diffrent phone because it's a micro sim!
