I brought an iPhone 4 online, and I erased everything from it and have entered my simcard and started to set it up but it requires the last users apple id and password but I don't know them and I can't get hold of them, is there anyway of going round this?
You cannot activate the phone without the password of the previos owner. I am sorry for you, but there is no other way.

Apple ID is not the same as iCloud ID and I need to activate my phone.
So my phone pooed itself and I had to reset it. That did not help and so I had to erase all of my settings. Upon getting to the activation page, it says that my apple ID is not the same as my iCloud ID....although that is the only ID that I have ever used for my phone.
Is there any way that I can remove my phone off of the iCloud and then proceed through activation a different way?
Thank you very much for the help!No. In order to reactivate your device have to provide the ID and password that were used to activate it originally. If you are not the original owner, you will have to contact the original owner to either get the ID and password, or have him/her erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. If you cannot contact the original owner you will not be able to activate and use your device. No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

If i update to ios 7.0.6 will i need to activate with apple id ?
after i update to ios 7.0.6 will my iphone ask me for apple id and password ? cose i dont remember my pass and find my phone is on
You cannot update to iOS 7.0.6...you can only uypdate to 7.1.0. If Find My Phone is turned on, you should login to your iCloud account from either a computer or a device running the Find My app and remove the iPhone from the devices list so you can completely restore.
You can download and install iOS 7.1.0 but you need to remove the Find My Phone if you cannot remember your password. -
My iMessage for some reason will not let me activate my phone number.
I have had an iPhone 5 for almost a year now, and had not had any problems with it until about a month ago, when it suddenly stopped letting me send iMessages from my phone number. I have tried everything from turning iMessage on and off, to resetting my network settings, to doing a hard reset on my device. When I text friends, they recieve two different conversations - one from my phone number and one from my apple ID through iMessage, depending on if it was a text or iMessage. The option to choose my number from iMessage is there, but is greyed out and will not let me choose it, and any attempts to reset it just result in a "waiting for activation..." message that doesn't go anywhere. I have checked with my carrier, Verizon, and it is not something that is coming from their end...and from what I've seen, a lot of other users have been having this problem since the ios7 update. Is there any way to fix this?

HT4528 Need to activate my phone and I dont know my original password
Please help me get my phone back on I went to update my setting with the current IOS and it asks me for old password and I don't know it
You will have to reset your password. Start with https://iforgot.apple.com. For additional information see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223

is anyone there?
Do you have access to your developer account? You are running a beta version on your iPhone and will need to fix it through that site. If you are not a developer but were legitimately beta testing for someone you need to contact them for a fix.
If you are using an unauthorized beta you need to put your iPhone in DFU mode and Restore it as a new iPhone in iTunes and hope it works. -

No. Restoring your phone does not affect whether your service is active or not.

i went to upload IOS 5.1 on my i phone 3s (because it said i had to in order to download certain apps) and now my phone is not recognizing my sd card and it's saying i need to activate my phone... but it wont activate. does anyone know how to restore it?
Is your phone jailbroken?
Chances are the reason your're receiving this error message is that your phone was hacked to be used with your carrier. Now that it's updated, it has relocked to the original carrier. The phone can be activated ONLY with a SIM from the carrier to which it is locked. -
HT4623 cannot activate the phone after updating
cannot activate phone after updating
it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

your answer will be highly appreciatedUse the links provided.
Recover your AppleID via https://appleid.apple.com/

If the iPhone is asking for an AppleID you do not recognize, the iPhone
is Activation Locked. Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock
can remove it. There is no workaround for Activation Lock. -

Sorry... No. There is no workaround for Activation lock.
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
