Setting up new iphone, its icloud locked?
I've just purchased a iphone 4s off of ebay. Went to set it up and its locked to the last users icloud. I have asked for his id and password and am waiting for that back
When i get this i can then get into the phone, how do i then dissociate his cloud account from one i'm going to set up.
I'm asking so i can be quick when i get the info from him.
Just to complicate things further i'm setting up this phone and i havnt got a credit card, i have seen how to set that up with guides on the internet, but just thought id mention it incase its relevant in your answer somehow.
You have to jailbreak it.
You go into setting-icloud and tap on delete account. It may give you another option and in that case select 'keep'. Then simply either restore the phone using itunes on setting-general-reset-erase all content and settings.
If they do not respond you will have to go to an Apple store as only they can remove that lock without a password. Also print out documentation of the sale as they will require that you show you purchased it. Otherwise Apple will assume you stole it and while they will not contact police they will refuse to help you.
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- Old iphone Icloud lock still enabled after I buy a new iPhone with icloud on it? If I had my iPhone stolen with icloud lock on and I was tracking it. But I buy a new one and activate the icloud and tracker, does that mean the old iPhone is unlocked? What happens to it? Will I be notified if someone turns it on? Can I track it?
- My iphone 5 won't download all its music onto our new computer its windows 8 lenovo? Ok so everytime i plug my phone into my new computer itunes comes up but it won't sync my stuff at all. All that comes up is go to itunes store or something else i forgot but when i click on the other thing nothing happens and i need my music and phone to sync to our new computer but it won't!
- I just got an iPhone 7 and I forgot the passcode so now I can't finish setting up? It can't connect to iTunes and it's not on my iCloud? I feel so dumb for forgetting it, I'm always bad with remembering numbers. Even though I just put it in, I can't remember it. I really don't want to call Apple Support if I don't have to. How could I factory reset it or something? I just got the phone and didn't even finish setting it up yet so there's no data that I'm concerned about. It can't connect to my iTunes or anything like that.
