How to remove previous iphone 5 apple id?
So i bought an iphone 5 from someone and i checked to see if it was stolen or blacklisted, which its not, but the original owner did not remove it from his icloud account. I can't reach the dude anymore and have no way of figure out the name and password. I don't want to take it back to the apple store because i don't want to be accused of stealing it even though its not listed as stolen and the moiney i paid for it go to waste. I know there has to be some way! To get around it. Please if you are going to tell me to return it to the police or some righteous bs, stop it. I didn't steal the damn phone. It is just my luck to have this happen. I already restored it to factory settings. Did dfu mode. Did everything i could but it still wants the apple id. What do i do?
You will not be able to remove it as its a security feature. You have to check that before buying. If you get a hold of the owner though they can remove it remotely using find my iphone. Even Apple won't do anything if you take it in there, they aren't the security police.
- Where could I find new previous-generation Apple products for sale? I'm currently in the market for a new computer. I love Apple products (My last main computer was a MacBook, and I use an iPhone), but I actually liked their last generation iMac computer better than the one that was just announced. Is there a company that sells brand-new previous-generation Apple products? Each time Apple announces a new product, I've got to think that there are shelves of unsold previous-generation products still to be bought.
- Setting up an iPhone after resetting it without using previous apple id? Ok, so my title doesn't really make sense but here's my situation. I recently sold an iPhone 4 on ebay and obviously I want to reset it. However, I have been told that after you reset it, you'll have to use the original apple ID you started with. Is this true? If it is, how do I do make it so that you can use any apple ID to set it up?
