I restored my iphone 4 and as I was about to activate it - it required my apple id and password. I can see that it is my apple id - so i entered the data. However I keep on receiving a message saying [ "my e-mail" cannot be used to unlock this iPhone.]
I then checked if the phone is still on the list of my devices in "Find My Phone" - via icloud.com website. The phone that I was trying to activate was not there.
I cannot seem to get this right - please let me know - if you know the solution.
