How to contact the original owner who still had Taylor Apple Watch pared
I have a Apple Watch the other day and I have brou one Apple Watch the other day, and he had a lock of activation on the watch. How can I activate the watch to screen easily?
Hello
Activation lock prevents unauthorized use of Apple Watch if it is lost or stolen.
In order to pair the watch to your iPhone, you need the former owner is:
- Enter their Apple ID and password on your device, or;
- Using a web browser, deactivate the function via https://www.icloud.com/ by signing with their Apple ID > settings > my devices > Apple Watch-click > click the 'X' > click on delete.
You also won't be able to use the watch (there is no way around this security feature), then you must return it for Exchange or refund.

I bought a laptop tailor-made and it turns out that there is a counterfeit Windows xp version. I want to upgrade to windows 7 instead of buy the version xp again. is this possible?
You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Lock - contact the former owner - activation mission impossible?
Hi Apple community!
I bought an iphone 5 recently, which is locked (bought cheaply but) activation of the former owner. Of course, the person who sold me the unit doesn't have any info on the phone. BUT! I want to get in touch with the previous person to return the unit or get the activation lock removed.
So I called the Apple Support and the representative understood the situation but he couldn't help me. He told me what network it is locked (carrier). After that I contacted the carrier and they said that they are not able to access users account.
To be clear, I did not for all data, I asked Apple and the carrier to contact the owner to inform him I have his camera and if he wants it back because it's useless for me.
Is there a way to get in touch?
Because, if not, can someone explain to me what the purpose of blocking of Activation option? Should ' t that he be that owners get their goods?
I know I'll get answers like "BACKSPACE" and "you should buy this in the first place", but please understand that I'm looking for help and a solution.
Thank you very much!
You could turn the iPhone to the police. They may seek the rightful owner or have a current report of loss.
In most jurisdictions, property unclaimed within a period of time can be returned to the person who makes it. It would be useless to you, but at least there is a chance, that it is up to the buyer.

I don't have any contact info for the former owner, what can I do?
I don't have any contact info for the former owner, what can I do?
If the iPhone requires an Apple ID and password from the previous owner to unlock: then nothing. Return it to where you bought it and demand a refund. The iPhone doesn't help you.
Otherwise, you will need to explain why you need the previous owner.

Current device is registered with the former owners of Apple ID, not allow me to connect with my Apple ID?
The former owner must unlock with their password, or give you the password. Otherwise, the phone doesn't help you and no one can help you. Get your money back if you can.

I changed my Apple ID on all my devices with a new password. When I go to the App Store to try an update all my apps the Apple ID is still the old man. I don't know what I have to do to change this in the app store, so I can update my applications. Is this because all these applications have been downloaded under my old id?
If you have really created a whole new AppleID, then Yes, all bought previous content remains linked to the former AppleID you used when purchasing. You will need to use that old AppleID to update these purchases, or buy them again with the new AppleID.
