Are Apple products not to be transferred? My step daughter gave me her old Iphone. I had no problem getting service for it. I was told Apple does in store classes/tutorials on the product. When I inquired about them I was asked about my Apple code or ID and other like information. This made me wonder if I wold be denied assistance with this product as it was originally registered in her name? Cannon was like this on a printer I could not prove ownership on (who retains purchase info from years ago?).
Thanks
Transfers are simple, you will not be denied service. If your daughter erased the phone contents, when you activate it the process is seamless.
Datura is correct. Make sure you back up your phone with iTunes before resetting it.
My husband inherited our daughter’s iPhone 5, but he uses my Apple ID. I wonder if you can just register a new one (Aplle ID) for yourself. Tie it to whatever email you use and think of a password that fits the parameters they want now.
Ping to you, Sir.
I received a hand-me-down iphone. Now it is WiFi only, has been cleared of its connections to Apple and works fine as a tablet.
Looks like in iOS 10 to get a new iCloud account, you create it in your iPhone settings:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Acount > iCloud > Create a new Apple ID
Maybe it has been answered already in this case ignore. When my girlfriend bought a used iPhone we got an error message. I googled the message and the very first result was a step by step guide that the previous owner must do in the internet to release it to the new owner. It was quite simple procedure.
If you don’t have an AppleID yet, they will help you set one up when you go in.
you can create your own appleid. but you will be required to surrender your own personal desires and preferences in favor of what Apple has decided is proper, because Apple knows best.
You will have to create an Apple ID for it. That’s all they were asking about.
I’m pretty sure everyone got an Apple iD with their last flu shot. (Wish I could put a /sarc tag here!)
Oops!
A van just pulled up outside.
Honest! I was kidding about the flu shot thing!
