Bought an iPhone owner having trouble deleting iCloud account
I recently bought an iPhone6 which is always linked to an iCloud account. I contacted the previous owner and it turns out that he had lost the phone for more than a year and was not the person that I bought the phone. Fortunately for me, after we talked a bit it is a very nice guy who remove offered his account of the iphone phone so I can use it. (I had already checked with the telephone operator, and they said it was good to go on their end).
Here's the question, he sent me a message that he went into itunes and remove the phone but it still shows blocked an iCloud account. He said he would go back and see what that he could do, but now the phone is not there while he doesn't know what to do... What can I tell him? I want to make it as easy as possible for him because he really didn't have to do.
What you need is the Apple ID password, so you can disconnect from the iCloud/find my phone.

I bought the iphone 6 to find her icloud is locked. I tried to contact the owner, but I can't reach him. are there opportunities to take the step of activation? Thank you.
Hello
You describe Activation Lock, which prevents the unauthorized use of the iPhone if it is lost or stolen.
This can be disabled either by:
- The former owner, grabbing their Apple ID and password of the device.
- The previous owner, removing the iPhone in their list of devices to locate my iPhone via iCloud.com.
In both cases, be sure to follow the instructions in the first article below.
If you can not organize or either of these actions, then you will not be able to use the iPhone. There is no way around this security feature.

Cannot change the iCloud on iPhone because of old deleted email accounts
Hello.
The problem is that I made my account iCloud with an old email, which has now been deleted. I have an iCloud account (where I am writing), but I can't log out from my iPhone, because I don't remember the password. The password cannot be retrieved because of the old account of electronic mail ([email protected]) being deleted.
Is it possible to show an employee of Apple, a photo of my identity papers to prove that I am indeed the owner of the old account and get powered email accounts?
I hope I have made myself clear and that there is someone who can provide assistance.
If you have simply changed the e-mail address for your user name (rather than create a new Apple account), you can use your Apple ID/iCloud password to sign the old ID in iCloud.
See you soon,.

How to recover photos from deleted icloud account

I just updated my iPhone 6s ios 9.2.1 and whenever I try to remove photos from the iPhone library, it is said that they will remove the iCloud photo library on all devices. I don't want to do, I want to save the photos on my computer, but free up space on my phone. Help!
If you have iCloud library enabled in the iPhone then any photo that you delete from your phone is also removed to iCloud and all devices connected to this library to iCloud. It is not a setting or an option where you can change this while continuing to use iCloud photo library. You can reduce the space required on the phone by activating the settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage. You can suggest that Apple offers more options via: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

Anyone else having trouble cancelling their account of CC teams?
For some reason, nobody seems to be able to cancel my CC Adobe teams account. All I have here is "you will be contacted within 5-7 business days with an update", and it has been almost 27 days... about 21 of them are working days. Zero updates. I had 3 people Adobe tell me via chat, phone and Twitter it should be updated in 5-7 business days and still nothing.
I just want to see if someone has tried to cancel the account of their teams and if it was canelled within a reasonable time or not...
Thank you

Case # 0212305831 is in action, it states that the refund has been processed, one seat is cancelled & single-seater is still awarded.
Please let me know if other queries are.

iCloud account will not end check
On my iPhone 5s under 'settings', the iCloud account check step will not end. Just, the wheel turns and turns, without end. iTunes account works fine. Never seen this before?
Try to hard reset your device (sleep/wake and Home button for 30 seconds)
You can also try and reset your network settings settings > general > reset > reset network settings.
Hope this helps, good luck to you.

@Santonio99
You probably bought an iPhone stolen 6. Mine was stolen in Barcelona in Spain on June 10 by a pick-pocket. Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make an iPhone locked to the activation of the work. You have a paper weight.

I recently bought an iphone 6s and I'm having a hard time activating my number imessage FaceTime. I migrated to an iphone 6 and where everything worked like a charm to a nightmare without end I tried all support apple suggests more change my sim card, twice, even try different phone numbers did not work. I spoke with my carrier to check any international obstacle on my serve - no luck there. Contacted by phone - apple support chance either. I EVEN DEMANDED TO REPLACE MY UNIT WITH a DIFFERENT ILS DID and guess what - STILL NOTHING! I'm running out of ideas and patience. I even tried my number deauthorised for imessage/facetime and the Lady at apple support had no idea they could that, even if Apple has a webpage set up for that matter! Last but not least, I charged a sum of rediculus of money for "Invincible" sms for activation of apple through my device for activation - ALL for NOTHING! Can someone in the Apple support give me a solution to this?
What country are you in and who is your provider? iMessage and FaceTime activation use SMS to the Apple activation servers to the United Kingdom. If you use a carrier not supported, it may not work. If you use a supported media, make sure you have your account set up properly for an iPhone.
