Good customer service entails that they contact the apple id linked to the device and confirm if it was sold or stolen and help the new owner..
Sorry, but I disagree. It is not the OEM's responsibility to check nor confirm any such thing. it is up to the seller and the buyer, in a private party personal transaction, to ensure that both are satisfied with the terms and conditions of the sale and the item.
You buy a used personal item as is from someone, and it is just that, as is. The responsibility is solely on the two parties making the exchange to ensure that both have gotten what they wanted out of the deal.
No company is going to get involved in any such private party sales or exchanges of items - in the USA at least, it would be a legal minefield for them, if nothing else. Private/personal property sales are just that, private and personal.

If this is what you're talking about: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Then you get the previous/original owner to unlock it or you get your money back ASAP.

There are way too many posts on this forum from people who buy used iPhones on eBay and who then have problems. I would second wjosten's suggestion to return the phone, get a refund and buy a phone from an authorized dealer.

I believe that all iPhones, purchased in Egypt, from official sources, are sold as carrier locked. So, your phone was hacked by someone so you could use it in Germany. Sorry, but that's what happens to hacked iPhones.
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple, and since none of the carriers in Egypt offer official unlocking, your choices are not good.

Visit the local Apple store in the mall and they ran diagnostics on it. They told me the phone has no hardware problems.
Still the issue is not resolved.
Please help it has been more than 2 weeks that I have this problem and it seems no one is helping.

After reviewing several more suggestions, I found a YouTube video that described the issue and resolved it by cleaning the dock connector. I was skeptical, but I had noticed that immediatly after charging or using my dock that the audio would be back temporarily. After cleaning the dock port, the issue appeared to be resolved temporarily, but appears to have returned again. I will clean it well and then test again to see if it resolves the issue permanantly. So far this seems to have provided the best result.

I bought an ip6 in canada, unlocked but i cant use it in phils

i bought an ip6 in canada, and its unlocked. but i cant use it in philippines.

Why can't you use it?
If you can't use it, then you will either have to return it to the Canadian Apple store where you purchased the phone or sell it online, somewhere like Ebay to someone who can use it.

I bought a used iPhone 4S but I cannot add or delete apps

I bought a used iPhone 4S but I cannot add or delete apps or music. Cannot reset as no tab is found under General. And I do not have iCloud PW of previous owner. I thought whom I purchased from was reliable but may have been taken. Any ideas how to resolve problem if solvable or how can I found out if phone was stolen? I have purchased other used before without such a problem. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried recovery mode?

Some more details will probably be required. The OS X version will help, as a start.
If you have the diagnostics DVD disk, boot that and see if there are any errors logged.
If this is OS X that's installed on a MacBook Air that you're using, then some of the usual triggers and approaches for resolving the still waiting for root device errors are discussed here. Have a look at that, and see if something in that sequence looks familiar, whether the PRAM reset or the safe boot helps or works here.
If there's any anti-malware, I/O accellerator, antivirus tools or similar installed, get rid of it. At least for testing.
There's a mention of "other OS" in your footer. If not OS X, what is the operating system in use here? If this is some other hardware or software involved, then the triggers for this error can vary. Widely.
