How can I log into my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information?  I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

How can I activate my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information?  I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

What you've run into is the activation lock. Previous owners are supposed to wipe their devices, and to do that they have to enter their apple ID's. If yours wasn't wiped then it was a careless owner, or the dark side is that whomever sold it, it wasn't theirs to sell.
Regardless, what Deggie says is your only recourse. Get your money back or own an unusable brick.

    Carole,
    If it talks about your password it is probably a scam.
    Take a look in your purchase history and see if there has really been a purchase.

  • I bought a used iPod touch and now the previous owner has turned on find my phone. How can I shut it off

    so ya I bought my daughter a new iPod touch for her birthday from the pawnshop. They said it's been put through the police data base and is not stolen(protocol ?). I took it home and put it away. Her bday is now next week and I got it out to put a cool wallpaper in it and charge it up. Turns out the previous owner has now turned the find my phone app on , so I can't do anything with it now? is it possible to factory reset it? I feel like I got screwed big time:( i hope someone has an idea foe me cause i am totally illiterate when it comes to technology.

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

  • I can't sign into iCloud because my Apple ID doesn't work there.  For some reason it gave me a .mac email and I don't remember the password.  When it gives me the option to reset my password, it's my Apple ID password which I don't want to do.

  • Trying to register a Used iPhone 4S. The previous owner has removed it from his registered devices but is still assigned to him? Won't let me use my Apple ID

    I've just purchased a used iPhone 4S. It's been formatted/restored, but when going through the setup it won't accept my Apple ID because it's still apparently registered to the previous owner. He's removed it from his devices on all fronts iCloud / iTunes etc.
    Any reason why its still showing as registered under his ID? Or why it won't accpet mine?
    Thanks, any help appreciated. Getting frustrated now. And can't get an appointment at my nearest Apple store before Sunday.

    Hi Harrison,
    The previous owner needs to follow these steps to turn off Find My iPhone on the device. It is currently Activation Locked:

  • How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

    I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
    I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
    I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
    How can this be done?
    For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
    So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
    Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
    Thanks.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • How can split data into multiple sheets using an excel template

    Hi all,
    I'm using BIP 10.1.3.4.1 upgrated with the latest rollup patch, 9546699.
    I followed the example inside the article "Real Excel Templates 1.5" (on the Tim Dexter's blog)
    http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2010/05/real_excel_templates_i.html
    and I built my report directly from an excel template containing only one sheet (plus the XDO_METADATA sheet), and for one sheet it worked fine !!!
    Now I need to add more sheets to the template.... and I have two big questions:
    1. if I need to create a second sheet which contains almost the same data (with a different layout), I saw that it is not possible to map a value to more than 1 cell....so if I map a value in the first sheet, I can't map it in the second sheet (because it's already used in the first one).
    How can I map same values into two or different execll
    2. if I need to create a second sheet which contains another dataset (completely different from the dataset in the first sheet), I can I do, considering that every BIP report is based on ONLY a data source.
    Tim wrote: The most impressive, for me at least, is the sheet 'bursting'. You can split your hierarchical data across multiple sheets and dynamically name those sheets
    but I didn't yet understand how this bursting it's possible.....considering what I said above.....
    Surely I've a lack of knowledge.....but anybody can help me to understanding the "multiple excel sheets" black hole ?
    I'll appreciate any kind of help
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I download/save bank statement using iPad to import into Homebudget app?

    As subject states safari keeps opening my banks ms money or QIF document within the web browser. Is there another app or a way to get this to work? I'm trying to import the file into my Homebudget app. Please keep in mind I don't own a computer as my iPad is my primary device. I appreciate your help.
    Joe

    Sorry about that...it's PSECU. Their app doesn't have a download function for statements. I have to go through the mobile access site via safari to view the download option. They got back to me and misunderstood my question as the reply had steps for direct connect for quicken. The homebudget app I have for my ipad offers direct connect but doesn't have PSECU as an option. That's why I was looking to import my statements into the app. Hope this helps clarify my current dilemma. Thanks again for any replies to try and help me out.

  • How can i make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink

    I want to make a slideshow to use in muse where each slide has its own hyperlink to another page in the site.
    example here: Genesis Bicycles - Easton PA
    I see how slideshows can be made in muse, but haven't seen where you can assign a hyperlink to each image. 
    I would like it to be html5 compatible.
    Thanks ,

    hello chandu ,
    In order to encourage substantial investment in plant or machinery clause 5 of the Finance Bill, 2013 seeks to insert new section 32AC in the Income-tax Act, 1961 to provide for deduction for
    investment in new plant or machinery by a company.   It is allowed over and above the depreciation rates.   This is for tax calculation purpose for availing this benefit so many conditions to be fullfilled.   In sap this can be handled through development only.  n.selvakumar.
