Nope, not at all acceptable. It's my device and nobody has any right to remove any security feature I've activated without my explicit consent. An arbitrary timeout simply renders an effective anti-theft feature into an utterly pointless one.

yeah I bought a phone second hand and found out that its locked with find my iphone. I found him again and asked for my money back but he said he remembered it so he said meet him tomorrow. The next day he never showed so I wasted my money for a ******* useless ******* phone. And I can't afford another **** phone yet.

Apple are telling me it is an outlook email which none of us have ever had, so no, it is not for no reason, it is a problem at apples end. How can we sign in with an email address that does not exist? On both icloud and itunes they ask for your apple id, so they are the same thing. It is not a forgotten icloud id. My son is using his icloud account on his newer ipad, which works fine, but does not show his old ipad in list of devices.

You bought a used or stolen iPad that has not been made ready for a new owner.

Whatever your opinion is an iTunes ID is not an iCloud ID.

Have a good day.

Thanks. Yes we did wipe it before we gave it to my son. The id my son used is the same as he has now. I don't know why apple have an email none of us has ever had, associated with the ipad, that's the bit i can't get my head around. I no longer have the original proof of purchase, but apple assure me the store should have a record of all receipts for the past 10 years. So that is my next job.

I was able to get icloud removed from multiple icloud locked iphones and ipads that i bought in a lot without having the original owner help.

Wonderful. Care to share details of how you actually accomplished that?

I can't reveal who they are because there my friends.

they offer paid icloud removal but for me they remove icloud lock for free.

Would they take a unicorn in trade? Hardly any mileage on it.

Thanks for letting us know! You've been reported to Apple as a participant in a criminal operation targeting Apple's theft deterrent system. The fact that you confessed to this on an Apple owned web forum should make it much easier for them to track you down and prosecute you. Have a GREAT Day!

But what I have to offer is a turquoise unicorn.

I call BS on you also. Everyone KNOWS that all unicorns are white!

I figure one mythical beast is fair trade for one mythical service. But, yes, I should at least offer a real mythical beast.

I'm getting tired of cleaning up unicorn manure. All that glitter and sparkles sticks to everything.

You were reported to Apple. It's up to their legal department as to what to do.

And you were not "joking". You admitted to being associated with a criminal operation claiming to remove activation lock from iOS devices. Nowhere in anything you said did you imply that it was not so or that you were 'joking'.

If nothing else, maybe you'll learn to control what you say on-line. Once you say it, it's out there forever. There is no taking it back. That goes for EVERYTHING you ay and post on-line.

In this case, an admission to being involved in criminal activity. It's up to the authorities to determine whether you were 'joking' or not.

I bought my iPhone FROM Apple themselves, am the first and only owner, had never had ANY problems with my Apple ID at ANY point for years now and then all of a SUDDEN, I'm locked out and the Apple ID I'm using is "wrong". Except when I go and check my Apple ID account on the site....works perfectly fine. Even shows the iPhone as being attached to the account that is supposedly wrong.... So, since everyone on here who is supposed to help people is saying "you have to have the original owners info" over and over and over and over again....What about me and the other people WHO ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS???? I've looked on 496873459687 forums and it's all the SAME ********, "gotta have the original info" "i do" "well go talk to Apple" "I did and they dont know whats wrong" "gotta have the original info"..... Reeeeeeally ****** helpful guys. This will probably be THE last time I even try to ******* deal with Apple and all the overcomplicated ******** you guys make your customers go through. Get ******.

You are not addressing Apple here. We are your fellow users.

Please stop shouting and cursing at us. It's not appreciated.

You can contact Apple using the Contact Support link at the top right of every page.

THen you have a useless device.
