Dear Apple employees ,
I have a new.new iPad Air. The person who transferred information from oldest iPad to this one, used his Apple address. How do I erase it. Thanks

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your issue, what do you mean by "used his Apple address"? Are you referring to apps linked to his account? If so, then you can't change that. Apps are permanently tied to the account through which they were purchased. If you want those apps tied to your own Apple ID, you'll need delete them from the iPad and get them again through your own iTunes Store account.
If, however, you just mean that his Apple ID is coming up in the iTunes Store, App Store, etc. you can change this in the Settings -> iTunes & App Store area. You can similarly change accounts for email, calendars, etc. in the relevent settings.
If that doesn't address your question, please post back and clarify the situation you are attempting to remedy.
Regards.

I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

There is no solution. You have to provide the ID and password. There is no way around it. If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

Have 2 iPads on same apple acct. how wipe just one without affecting other?

I have 2 iPads on same apple account. How do I wipe one to give to my wife without affecting the other one. (I once deleted some bookmarks and they were deleted on both iPads.)

Hi joanfromgalax,
The resource below explains what to do before you give your iPad to your wife. Follow the steps in the order given. If you sign out of the iCloud account as instructed in step 2, then the data will not be deleted.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
When the new owner turns on the device for the first time, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Don't manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your devices that are signed in to iCloud.
Cheers,
- Judy

When I receive an imessage from someone on my iphone and I respond, how do I stop it from responding to all recipients and just have it sent to the person who sent it to me?

My niece sent me a text yesterday with a photo of her baby. I responded to her but it went to everybody she had sent the initial text to. How do I just respond to her?

Okay than this definitely was not Apple. Apple support techs never have access to your mouse. It sounds like this company installed some software on your Mac. It is hard to tell what their intentions are but just assume in these situations that all your data was compromised. Possibly all your online accounts have been compromised such as social networks, banks, etc.. The smartest thing to do would be to change all of your passwords and reinstall OS X on your Mac. It sounds extreme but that's what happens when a 3rd party company gains control of your computer.

I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay. The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad. Not sure what that means. The model part number is PF004LL/A

I received a second iPad Air as a gift and sold on Ebay. The person who bought it asked if is a Oem pad. Not sure what that means. The model part number is PF004LL/A.

You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
What country does my device belong to?

I have no idea how to get my ipad back, the cops sort of laughed at me, and the person who stole it broke into all my home accounts what can I do?

I called the police and they told me they were there to escort me off the premisies. The person who stole my iPad was actually helping me buy accessories for yea go ahead and laugh im not happy. I called my carrier and they said there was nothing I could do. I could not use my insurance or upgrde to a new device. They said the could suspend my account until april but that is absolutely ridiculous. Please help

Help you do what? We can't get your iPad back. Do what the provider said, suspend your account. Get a new iPad and sim card then turn your account back on with the new sim card.

I received an ipad with seminar materials at a recent seminar I attended. I wanted to download apps. I have an account with app store, but I can't get apps because the ipad is registered to the person who put on the seminar. Help.

I received an ipad with seminar materials on it at a recent seminar. Now I want to add apps, using my app account. But when I try to do that, the app store says my ipad is registered to the person who put on the seminar. How can I fix this so I can use my ipad.

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the previous user's ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and enter the information for your ID and password.

All of a sudden my email asks a password. I use Thunderbird at work and I have not set this password. The person who did left. How do I login now?

I really don't know computers.
I have been working here now for three months and it is just me who works here so I can't ask anyone.
It was working fine until all of a sudden when i press get mail i get:
please enter a password for user ...... on server ...... .
I have not set the pasword and I can't get in contact with the person who did.
Is there any chance of deleting it? Go passed it? I work at a hostel and we make all our bookings via email. I really need this to work!

You administer your email password with your email provider. You need to work with them to reset a forgotten password.
Go to their web mail or email help site and look for a link to reset your password.

HT4314 I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices. Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well? And how often would they update each other? If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4?

No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown/shown off, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.
