Here, first of all, I would like to notice one thing - all appeals are registered and permanently attached to the apparatus regarding which the appeal is created. Maybe not directly, but all subsequent appeals have a chance to be successful less than their predecessors. Therefore, the better you prepare initially, the better the result will be. So do not be lazy) There is no other way but to call - there is no. Similar questions are solved only by a call.
The meaning of everything said there should be reduced to the fact that you yourself bought the device, for your hard-earned and honestly earned money. And you even have a check, which you are ready to immediately apply in business.
Regarding the check - ideally, this is of course the original. The statistics is such that the efficiency from "drawing" is less and less, so getting data from the checker for a dollar (and I highly recommend that you get at least this data) and finding out the chain of stores where the purchase was made, it would be nice to google a little their contacts to contact and request a copy of the check. English in this case greatly increases your chances of success.

The most common stories are:

• The account was created on the spot when buying / created by someone else (with whom you naturally have no connection), since it has never been used, your memory is bad, your health is not very good, so everything is completely forgotten.
  
• Someone (son, daughter, niece, granddaughter, etc.) drove you some data there and after the next update you sailed ...
  
• Separately, I would like to endure the case when the phone was tied to your account, but after resetting it requires someone else (that is the output through the bug). In this case, as a rule, the device hangs in your account and if so, then in no case do not remove it from there - this is your direct ticket to the second level support to send a check.
  

And of course, a little ethics - do not be rude and do not go too far, swing the rights and say that you will sue, too, it makes no sense. Imagine for a moment that you are an employee of this very support and thousands of you are ringing all day with the same stories. Submitted? That's the same thing. Let's be honest with ourselves - weeding out the present owner and the newly made special work will not be there, but because 50% of the case depends on which of the specialists you get and how you will communicate with them.

Free FMI Checkers:

Paid (shareware) FMI checkers:
Paid CheckersSold By, Lost / Clean, GSX, Replacement, Cases

There are only 3 basic iCloud blocking status (FMI):
1. OFF - the device has no bindings and can be freely activated by your Apple ID account
2. CLEAN - the device has a binding and can be activated by your Apple ID account only after unbinding from the previous
3. LOST - the same as CLEAN , but has one of the additional features: the device is erased ( ERASED ), stolen or lost ( LOST OR STOLEN ), flagged by operator as blacklist ( BLACKLISTED ) (valid for the site www.imeipro.info - while the status of the FMI itself can be CLEAN , but you can find out only through other services that make this gradation).
Regarding the external signs of determining the status - if there is a message from the owner on the screen or it is written that the phone is erased / lost, then this is definitelyLOST , but if there are no such messages, this does not mean that the phone CLEAN . Just in the process of erasing / entering the loss mode, no data was specified and / or the phone was flashed in the DFU mode (in this case, any signs LOST and leave).
As the saying goes, "Warned, it means armed." The more information you gather, the better you will be prepared to communicate with those. Apple support, and, accordingly, the chances of unlocking the device increase.
Therefore, if you do not know the date of purchase, the date of expiration of warranty service, whether the device is blocked by any operator, who is the official seller, etc., you need to get this information from the checkers. For this we need IMEI / SN.
Data for testing (IMEI / SN) always take from the device itself, and not the SIM-tray, back cover, box, etc.
There are also free checkers, but in view of their rapid appearance and the same rapid disappearance in the cap they will not. Just know that if you wrote in the subject line “Help to break through the info on IMEI to such and such” and they answered you and not even once, then there is such a checker with 90% probability and most likely it is present in the subject itself.
Regarding all the instructions with the pictures above - at the time you read the real menus and sections on the sites may differ slightly, so if some kind of direct link does not work, then you need to go to the site itself and look for a service by analogy.


This information is essential for creating checks. , if for some reason to get copies of original documents (cash / sales receipt) failed. In the case of replaced devices, a set of necessary documents for contacting those. Apple support replenishes: cash / sales receipt from the original device + document confirming the replacement with a new one.

First of all, I would like to note one fact - a free way to find out AppleID data from an unactivated device to which it is attached, except as a contact with the previous owner (if known) is not and will not be.

A small educational program. Each Apple device has its own unique number (UDID) and, when connected to iTunes, records containing this same UDID number and AppleID used at the same time are stored on Apple servers. There are checker websites that have access to Apple servers, which means that, knowing the UDID of your device, AppleID can also tell.
P.S. There are also checkers for obtaining information about Apple ID only by IMEI.

From here there are several limitations:

1. If different accounts are used for iCloud and iTunes (yes, and it happens), then you will receive the wrong account that you need.
   
2. Apple devices allow you to use more than one account, and if the device has a lot of owners, then whose data you get is unknown.
   
3. If the account has been renamed, then you will get incorrect, that is, the old one.
   

Therefore, if you do not know the AppleID to which the device is blocked, you first need to know the UDID. The easiest way to do this is through the device manager:

Having received the UDID of the device, we order the AppleID receipt service on a paid service.
As a rule, you get the Apple ID itself, the name of the owner and the phone. The list of received data may differ from time to time, so carefully read the description of services on the sites.
Some of the paid AppleID data services are:
