How to unlink a iphone from icloud account?

I want to buy an iphone off ebay and basically the seller says it is linked to a 3rd party icloud account and they can't get hold of them so the phone is fine except for that they can't sign on to it. Would this be easy to do? Surely you'd just connect it to itunes and restore the phone to its factory settings and set it up as a new iphone?

Don't do it. You will be stuck. Its a security feature (which is a great feature). The person that had it originally will need to wipe it before you can set it up as your own (which by the way if its stolen that means you can't turn off find my iphone either, and it will notify them of the phones location whenever its connected to Wi-Fi or celltower).

Walk away. The original owner has to unlink the phone via their account. If the owner can't be contacted or refuses to do it, then you're stuck. Apple doesn't touch it. They don't get involved with third party transactions and drama. ICloud unlock is almost impossible to bypass successfully. Some try. See for yourself. Best luck.

I believe my soon to be ex-husband is using the same IP address as me and he is linked to my telephone from the Mac device, is there anyway you can tell me if another browser with the same address is linked to my phone

  • How to unlink my Outlook account and my Gmail account? A while back, I linked these accounts together somehow (it's been so long I forgot how) so I would only have to access one account to read all my email, but now when I get an email in my Gmail account, I get that exact same email in my Outlook account a few minutes later, and I keep getting notification noises on my iPhone and have to spend time deleting the extra emails. It's really annoying me and I want to undo it, but I don't know how!
  • How to unlink my iPhone from an Apple ID? I just purchased the iPhone 5. I chose to reboot from an apple ID-- but apparently my genius ex linked a bunch of different apple id's to the old phone, so now the new phone is linked to those as well. Every time I click on settings I'm asked to enter a bunch of passwords for accounts I didn't even know existed. So my question is: Is there anyway to disassociate my phone with those old accounts?
