I am having difficulty activating an iphone that my employer owns, but a previous employee who was using this phone has left the organisation and will not provide his apple ID. Can you please help me?

    If the iPhone is using iOS 7 there is absolutely nothing you can do...the Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that you cannot bypass.

     

    Apple will OT get involved...you have to find a way to get the Apple ID from the previous user.
