Can I sell an iPhone that is locked Activation iCloud

I saw the apple recycling program. I was unfortunately sold a locked activation iCloud iPhone which I can't bypass the activation screen. I decided to bite the bullet and buy an apple iPhone for not you get scammed again. With the apple recycling program am I able to sell back/recycle the iCloud LOCKED iPhone and get the activation credit towards my new purchase or not?

Thank you

A frustrated craiglister

Have you tried to contact the person who sold you the phone even once?

Regarding recycling, I don't think you can do, as Activation lock is designed to prevent and protect devices stolen, and despite your explanation, it would be like they tried to recycle and rewards you for a device that cannot be used. While I am just a user like you, you can contact Apple if you want to discover.

  • How to unlock an iPhone 6 and lock Activation

    I can't use my iPhone because of a blocking problem of Activation which began this morning.  He asked my Apple ID and password used to configure iCloud.  I reset my Apple ID several times, to access my Apple ID page and received E-mail stating that the reset is successful.  But when I entered the last reset password in the block page for activation on my iPhone, without success. I noticed that the example of Apple ID is "[email protected]."  My Apple ID understand "icloud.  My current ID does not include "icloud.

    According to my iPhone Activation help a password is necessary because "his owner used find my iPhone to establish links with their ID of Apple."  If this is your device, enter the Apple ID and password you to configure iCloud. "I did not use find my iPhone.

    This is my iPhone.  Help of activation continues to say, "enter the Apple ID and password allowing you to configure iCloud." My iCloud ID is not the same thing as my Apple ID.  Can I reset or create my iCloud and the password so that I can use it as an Apple ID and password?  Still, I can't use my iPhone.   This is the phone I have until I can activate it.

    I bought the iPhone not so long ago.  I do not have the version of iOS.

    Thank you for your time and your help.

    You will need the password of ID Apple to which the phone is locked. It seems that if it is locked to a different Apple ID that you try to use. Have you ever used another Apple ID? You are the original owner of the phone.

  • How can I close a tab that has locked up, rather than farm the whole browser to be insensitive?

    I have a bad habit of having several tabs open. If I click on a link that translates the whole browser becomes unresponsive, how do I close the tab offending rather than having to close the entire browser and losing all my tabs?

    It is not a bad habit, it's normal.

    Unfortunately, there is currently no way to 'kill' a single tab without picking up Firefox.

    A few times a week I get "not responding" when I exceed the amount of memory Firefox can use. Usually about 60-90 seconds, I can close Firefox by using the menu, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit
    • These same keys in order:Alt f x

    Freezes caused by other reasons could not out, in which case you get stuck. Prevention is the best cure.

    This support article covers some common reasons for freezes: Firefox crashes or does not - how to fix.

    Since the Flash plugin can also cause this problem and it is used everywhere around the web, I suggest the following to minimize potential problems with Flash in your troubleshooting:

    (1) to avoid unnecessary pain on the sites where the Flash is not really essential, try to set the Flash on Click-to-Play (Ask 'activation'). This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve.

    To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    With this setting, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and usually (but not always) one of the following values: a link in a gray rectangle dark in the page or an information bar sliding between the toolbar and in the page area.

    The plugin notification in the address bar icon usually resembles a little Lego block, dark gray. (If it is red, Flash must update.)

    The delay in the activation of Flash can help distinguish between the problems caused on the initial page load, put in folds and script activation vs Flash/loading bar.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the notification icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.

    But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! He will just stand here in case you want to use it later.

    (2) a common cause of errors in script does not work in Windows Vista and later is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

  • can't use the iphone 6 s more like ipod touch for calls/texts?

    OK, it's probably a unique situation. I have two iPhones to verizon. One is a 6 sec more not active, the other is a 5s which is activated. Basically, I use 5S for when I go out (where I prefer to use a hand on a bigger screen), and I want to use the 6s more as a second phone (via continuity) exclusively at home (where I prefer a bigger screen on one-handed use), but I am running into problems.

    First of all, let me say that I tried a mini ipad for a few weeks... twice... and every time I found it is too big for what I wanted. I wanted a screen larger than my 5s at home, but I wanted to still be able to easily grab a single hand and use my thumb to scroll. And I wanted to put always in my pocket when I was moving from room to room of my house. The mini was simply too great for that. The 5.5 "more does the job much better. But then again, I prefer the small size of 5 when I when I go out, especially since I don't spend much time on my phone outside the House, so I couldn't use more to replace my main phone.

    I would like therefore to anchor my 5s when I go home and just use my more like my phone then at home. The problem is trying to get calls and texts of the function on the most through continuity. Both devices are signed in my Apple ID and are the same wifi network. But on my more...

    In message settings, under "imessage" he says only: "awaiting activation...". »

    In Facetime settings, under 'facetime' he also says 'awaiting activation... ". »

    The messages app shows no history of conversation.

    The facetime app, shows, however, that ONE of my previous facetime calls in history. The strange thing is that this call is not listed in my 5s facetime app even though it shows the call history, before and after this date.

    I tried to send/receive texts on my 5 since setting up the most and none appear on my. I tried to make a call, but there was some message automatic verizon to pay money to make the call. Tried not to receive phone calls still well.

    As I understand it, iphones that are not activated are simply ipod touch, but for some reason, this does not seem to be true, since on ipod touch, facetime and messages can connect to one identifier Apple and manage the calls and texts with full transparency.

    Any ideas? Much appreciated!

    Sorry... I'm a bit confused. Which phone has the SIM inside? You will use the 6 s + as an iPod Touch, but your post seems to say that you will use it as a phone your title says.

    Regardless, I think that you need to activate the "iPod Touch", using a SIM card, and then you could remove it. You would lose any function that relies on the SIM door of course.

    Activation of a phone is a thing of the part 2. One for the carrier, one for Apple. A real iPod Touch activation would be fair for Apple.

    I don't think or other device would do anything if not enabled. Internally, your two devices are phones and probably must be activated in this way. Out the SIM card after activation would be where your phone becomes an iPod Touch.

  • My screen iphone6 is cracked and in my country, they can only change the iphone with a new one and with a very high price. Is there anyway that I could replace just the screen?

    My screen iphone6 is cracked and in my country, they can only change the iphone with a new one and with a very high price. Is there anyway that I could replace just the screen?

    No, if you want to keep all rights to the service or support from Apple. Not to mention the fact that it then will be bork Touch ID and make the phone unusable if ever, you restore or update of iOS.

    Apple doesn't sell parts of the iPhone. There is no legitimate sources for replacement screens.

  • I bought an ipad. Now I can not to use it because it is locked in icloud. I don't know who is the seller.

    I bought an ipad. Now I can not to use it because it is locked in icloud. I don't know the seller. What can I do?

    If an opportunity iOS device has been "Locked Activation" then only the former owner can unlock, either by providing you with the account ID and password, either by removing it from its list of devices (as it should have before selling) s ' please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515

    If you are unable to contact to do this, then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way to release all. Apple cannot open it for you.

    If possible, you should return whenever you bought it and ask a refund as this event that the unit is completely useless.
