Do you need an apple ID to set up an Iphone?
I'm getting my 15year old daughter an IPhone 5s for Christmas. She had an Iphone 4, but forgot her Apple ID and password and no longer can access the phone! We tried everything.Going into the Itunes, the Apple webpage, but nothing worked.Anyway, do you need the Apple ID and password, or can you bypass it>id rather not take a chance.
Iphone 5s's are old… I'm 13 and I have an iphone 6
You can just create a new one.
You don't need an Apple ID to use the phone.
However, if she wants to download app and/or take advantage of the services that Apple offers, she needs an Apple ID. Without one, she can't download apps, nor can she use iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, and so on.
It's not mandatory, but it limits what she can do on her phone.
If I understood your first sentence correctly, what you are seeing is iCloud lock. ICloud lock is a system to prevent people from stealing iPhones and using them. There's absolutely no way to bypass a security system. Otherwise, there's no point of a security system if you can easily bypass it. You can however, try to recover the account. This requires her to know the answers to her security questions and/or access to the recovery e-mail she used to create her Apple ID. If she can't remember any of this information, then there's no way to recover that account.
No you don't. You can skip Apple ID sign in and make one later.
- Will Apple automatically sign you out if you change your Apple password? My sister has my mums old iPhone which has my stuff logged in and she told me she could see my messages and I got a little freaked out and I wanna know if Apple logs you out automatically if you change your password ;-; (The phone is supposed to be mine soon.)
- When pre-ordering iPhone X, do you have to set it up with Verizon then and there or can you do that later? So I have the iPhone 7 so I can upgrade to a new phone because my 2 year contract is up, but my question is, can I pre-order the phone from apple and then transfer my 'line' anytime I want after receiving the phone?
- Need to take my iPhone in for repair at Apple what do I need to bring? I bought my iPhone 10 months ago from o2 ( not directly from apple ) do I still qualify for the one year warranty? If so what do I need to bring to prove It is under a years old?
- If you keep your iPhone caseless which way do you set it down? The front camera facing down or it facing up? I set it down on the screen (camera facing up) so my camera doesn't get scratched up.
