    Trying so hard to re-activate iPhone 5

    In December of 2015, I got a Samsung Galaxy S6, replacing my iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 sat for a while, until my brother needed a temporary replacement phone.

    Hi, I just sold my apple watch that I got a year ago. Before selling I unpaired it using the iPhone app and it was (from what I saw) in factory mode. The buyer now contacted me that the watch is still locked. So I got to iCloud.com and realized that the watch was still there so I deleted it...

    Radium abandonware? Activation server MIA - any hack?

    I love it when small developers have licenses that phone home to an activation server. It looks like CatPig Studios has bit the the dust, for whatever reason. I tried to reinstall Radium 2.8.4 (non-MAS) with my legit key and it won't work since it can't reach the mothership. In addition, updates...

    Carrier iPhone 6+ bought from VZW is activation locked to someone else's AppleID

    Can anyone explain how a phone I bought "new" from VZW could be activation locked to someone else's AppleID? Did Verizon "pull a fast one" and ship me a used phone? Background: I recently did an "Erase All Content and Settings" on my iPhone 6+ and found that I couldn't re-activate the phone...
