How do i make iCal have my settings, not the previous owner?

I purchased my friends computer and now when i try to use iCal it says 'The server did not recognize your user name or password for account [email protected]” Make sure you enter them correctly.' ... i click ok and then iCal crashes. What should i do? How do i make iCal have my settings, not the previous owner?

kikzilla,
Make sure that your computer is not connected to the internet. Then open iCal and choose iCal>Preferences...>Accounts> click on the gmail account and delete the account using the {-} "Remove an account" icon on the bottom left of the Accounts window.

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then setup the iPod with your account.
If necessary, place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Please help with my iPhone I bought from a pawn shop but have no contact with the previous owner so I cannot get past the icloud activation Please anyone help. it would mean a lot, I paid good money for this phone

Return it to the pawn shop and get your money back. The device is permanently locked and with the previous owner to unlock it you can never use it except as a paperweight.

How to Reauthorized apple ID in ipad1 without knowing the previous owner's password

I have just bought an 2nd hand iPad. It always prompt me with the previous user apple ID whenever I use the itune or app store. How can I get rid of this . Would anybody can help

Sign out and sign in with your ID. You will not be able to update the apps bought by the previous owner, they are not yours.

I recently bought an iphone and can't get passed the apple i.d, I have no idea who the previous owner is I just want my phone to work please help.

I don't know who the previous owner is or how to contact them because I can't see their email address. I spent $200 and just want my phone to work. Is there any way apple can help?

Your phone is "activation locked". It cannot be used unless this lock is removed by the previous owner of the iPhone. If the seller can't help you then ask for a refund of your money.
Apple won't help you. Note that the iPhone you bought may well be stolen property..

How can I make iCal in Lion open to the current date?

I just updated from Snow Leopard to Lion and have had all of the frustrations with changes to iCal that are well-documented here and elsewhere. One issue I haven't seen addressed, however, is a new behavior after quitting and re-starting.
Previously, no matter what month/day/week I was viewing when I quit iCal, it would open the next time to the current (month/day/week). Now, it opens to whatever date(s) I was last viewing when I quit.
This is highly annoying - 99% of the time, if I quit iCal while looking at (some date 6 months into the future), that is NOT the date I'm looking for when I re-launch. It's much more consistent behavior to always re-open to the current date, in whatever view (month/day/week) I previously used. So if today I launch iCal and I'm thinking about adding an event a month in the future, I open iCal, change to month view if needed, and go forward one month. This is the way iCal always worked previously. Instead, the version in Lion might leave me on any random month, depending on what I was doing when I closed the program the last time, and so I have to figure out "what month/week am I looking at?" before I know how to navigate. Very irritating. (As is the move of the forward/back buttons away from the month/day/week buttons, necessitating that I move the cursor to two different areas of the screen in order to navigate. Whose idea was THAT?)
I haven't found a preference to resolve this bizarre behavior change. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I don't know of a preference, but have you used ⌘-T in iCal?
Best wishes

You can’t, and Apple won’t do it for you; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. Try getting a refund for it.

Return it and get you money back. You won't be able to activate and use it without the previous owner. No one else can help you with this, including Apple.

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.

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.

How do I add my apple id to a used iphone that I purchased and activated? it is still under the previous owner's id.

How do I add my apple id and erase the previous owner's id, when my phone has been activated and ready to use?

Unless you have the previous owners password you cannot remove the Apple ID. The previous owner did not correctly prepare that iPhone For sale and needs to remove all information. If the Activation Lock is not set by turning on Find My Phone in Settings, iCloud, you can go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings to get rid of it. If Find My Phone is on, only the previous owner can clear it.

HT1918 My ipad has the previous owners Apple id . I need to put my email and password in how can ido this

Lookin to know how to enter new appl id on my ipad the previous owners id requesting password keeps coming up. I cannot contact him

You can log out of the previous owner's account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store on iOS 5 or below) and you can then log in with your account. But if there is any content from the previous owner still on it then that will remain tied to their account (so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps) - you will be better off resetting back to factory defaults (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings) and starting 'as new' with it.

Tammy,
Unfortunately your iPhone is just a paper weight. Return it to the pawn shop for a refund.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 explains the "Buyer Beware" facts:
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in toicloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.
