iPhone still linked to old Apple ID

So can you provide the link to the Apple buy back site?

There is no such site. Do you mean Apple's trade-in program? See: iPhone Trade-up - Apple

Or do you mean Apple's recycling program? See: Renew and Recycling - Apple

I'm going to be honest with you FelipeV. I get that it must be frustrating having to deal with other people's issues and not actually having any sort of solution for them, but you are dealing with it in an incredibly rude way, if you are the tech support guy for this website I suggest they maybe hire someone else? Someone a little less sarcastic and rude and with a little more patience?

If you don't have anything useful to say that can actually help and are just repeating yourself constantly with a different snide remark attached to every comment, maybe just stop replying to people and get a new job that isn't in the service industry, or just try shutting up? That would be lovely!

Thanks!

A customer that is sick of your snarky replies.

The original question was asked and answered multiple times. Sometimes the correct answer is not the one YOU might want. But it is the reality of the situation.

Now I have a question for you in a 4 year old thread:

Do you have a technical support question?

My question was the same as everyone else's, which is why I am on this thread.... I just got sick of your responses and that hasn't changed. You're just as rude as ever. I understand that the answer is not the one I want which is why I did not ask the question. I just thought someone ought to say something about your responses.

Maybe make you reassess your approach?

I'm sure you will have another snarky response to my comment so I'm just going to tell you now that I can't be arsed with a debate just wanted to get my point across. Now that I have I will move on with my life....

Good day to you.

You're not the customer of anyone in this thread. Had you read the Terms of Use to which you agreed when you signed up, you would know that we are all your fellow users.

It is not considered yelling and it is not rude.

I'm sorry, but yes, typing in all caps is considered both yelling and rude. It has almost since the beginning of the internet. It's also very hard to read.

Read here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

iOS 7 has a security feature that if someone "steals" your phone and tries to restore it with a new ID, you will need the previous ID in order to proceed. This makes the phone pretty much a "brick"

You will need to enter your old ID and password. If you cannot remember your old ID and password, you will need to contact Support and have it reset:

here is more info on the iOS7 Apple ID activation lock:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818:

Just follow the instructions in the support article I provided you a link for. It answers your questions & tells you what to do.

I'm having the same problem, except I KNOW my Apple ID. When I type it in my phone just reloads the same screen. Then I tried the wrong password on purpose and it stopped me saying "invalid Username or password". Then after entering the right password several times it takes me to a screen that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable..." My iPhone has been useless for almost two days now.

You seem to be running iOS 7 beta. Are you? If you are a developer, then go to the developer site for help.

If not you cannot get help here.

If you set it up with an Apple ID and you cannot remeber the password (or ID) there is nothing we can do here to help. You must use the original Apple ID and password to activate the phone.
