    for the good people of GC to help be do something "high-tech" which should be pretty simple for everybody except me and ER. My brother gave me a ****ty old iphone about 7 months ago and it was blocked, so I took it to the friendly local Arab shop and the kind gentleman unblocked it for me. The phone says that I still can't get into the phone, even though I have my brother's icloud address and password etc. I went onto the apple support thing and it says i must click on "all devices" then remove the device that I am trying to use, but it says there are no devices.. This has proven harder than it sounds. Has anybody(on here) got any ideas how to solve aforementioned problem?

    No, can't get in at all, as it says the password or some **** is wrong, even though I have the icloud name and password

    the phone must be password protected, try four zeros as the password, that's a common one.

    To reboot the phone, you hold the top button and the round button together.

    why do you want his icloud? clear your phone and make a new one yourself.

    If you put a phone in the microwave and call another phone and answer simply put a bowl of soup or beans on top of the second handset and hey presto it heats up through the signal.

    google itunes and download that. it talks you through it.

    you need to put 'tina' somewhere in your id though, coz i helped ye.

    you need your own itunes account to download all the apps, never mind the music and videos.

    what does it say on your phone's screen? Is it asking for a password? the password to unlock any iphone is 4 digits long usually, a code known only to the owner/last owner.

    try rebooting it by holding down the top button and the round one at the same time.

    Tell me what the screen does after the apple logo is away

    It shouldn't ask for an apple id unless you're trying to download something
