Got an IPhone 4 from game stop. Don't have an apple ID?
I got an Iphone 4 from game stop and I'm trying to activate it but it's saying that there's an apple ID and that I need to type in the user name and password but I do not have these. What do I do? I don't have access to this information.
Added (1). It. Saying that there's already an apple id on the phone.
Um you need to make one. Kinda obvious. Make an apple ID at apple.com and then put it in the phone
You can go to apple.com, and sign up for one. It's totally easy and free to make one.
Thank you for the opportunity to answer your question.
If I'm understanding your question correctly. You made a purchase of a used iOS device from Game Stop. When you go thru the setup process you are brought to a screen that says activation and you must log into the Apple ID that was previously on the device because the person that traded in the phone didn't remove the "Find my iPhone" feature from the iCloud settings on the device before it was erased.
Therefore this device will act as a paper weight until you are able to log into the previous account or the previous owner goes to www.icloud.com/find and removes the device from the device list.
My suggestion is to go back to Game Stop and return the phone. If you want to keep the phone then the Game Stop should have contact information for the person that sold the phone to the store in the first place. As with trade in, in MOST STATES, require a Pawn Shop type of process and therefore they would have to have kept the product for at least 30 days, depending on the local laws to wait for police checks. They could get ahold of the customer that sold it and have them remove it from the account. There's no guarantee on this but it could be worth the shot.
Good Luck and thank you for your time.

- What is this iPhone game? Sword game? I saw a screenshot of this iPhone game and I can't figure out what it is. In the screenshot the background is purple and there's a character jumping from one platform to another with a flaming sword. There are icons for health with hearts and a coin pouch icon and gem icon. In the screenshot I can also see an eye which is part of the background. If anyone can help, it would be great
- If you buy iPhone from Apple Store with Apple Credit Card and stop making payments on it what happens next to that phone? If you buy iPhone from Apple Store with Apple Credit Card and stop making payments on that Credit Card what happens next to that phone? Does it get blacklisted like other companies does it? (I'm not trying to do this, just to prove a point to somebody stupid that he won't get away with it. Lol)

I have more than 5GB of iCloud used, and I pay for the 50GB plan, I don't really want to keep paying it. I don't want to lose my pictures that I keep on my shared photo stream though. If I stop paying for iCloud will my shared photo stream pics/vids still always be available (forever)? Why do so, w videos and pictures not load on shared photo stream, does apple delete them? Where'd they go? I like google pictures to store my photos, but it's not HD. I have iPhone 6+
