I bought a used iphone can someone tell me how to change the apple id on phone please. Thank You!

I bought a used iphone yesterday and it has a apple id on it and I need to know how to change that apple id over to my id. I do not have the password for the previous owner. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you!

Removing data is all or none, and "forgetting" to do so before selling your phone is no "small thing" - it's like selling your purse with your wallet and credit cards still inside.
So I am afraid you were not very helpful!
Every day there are posts from people with obviosly found or stolen iPhones who mysteriouly "forget" their passcode (or forget to obtian it from the prior owner) and who somehow don't have access to the computer the phone was synced with, looking for help to gain access to the phone.  I'm not interested in helping others boost iPhones.

    As a newcomer to the iPad, can you please tell me how to return the font size to standard. Somehow I've enlarged the font size until it's unreadable and it applies to the icons as well!  Many thanks in anticipation.

  • I had my screen sectioned with an application running permanently in it and have lost it, please can someone tell me how to get it to do that again? Thank you.

    Hello,
    At some point a while ago I somehow mistakenly must have clicked on something in error and suddenly my Google Analytics programme (which is shown in by bookmarks at the top of the screen) was displayed in a section of the browser window to the left - the browser screen was split into two sections, with the google analytics program running in the left section and the right section was my regular browser window where everything ran as normal.
    I have no idea how this happened, but love it and have come to really appreciate it. However I've just changed computers, operating systems and allsorts and now I've got everything back on track that window has sadly gone and I cannot find how to get it back. I've searched through every option I can find and cannot figure out how to do that again!
    Can anyone help please? :-)

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

    You aren't losing any time in that mode, but I believe it is a 10 second fade out/fade in.

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

    Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

    Hi mkl1961,
    Happy Holidays!  The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.  
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
    What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
    AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
    AirPort base station passwords are "public."
    AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    *A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port.  You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
