Problem getting passed activate screen on ipad mini and iphone 4s

My auntie recently passed away and i have been given her iPhone 4s and iPad mini 2 to sell. I factory reset both of them through my iTunes the other day but i did not realise there would be an activate screen. As she has passed away i have no way of getting the required information to get passed this screen such as the password and recovery key. The only thing i do know is her I.D. Is there anything i can do?
Thanks.

You might be able to get Apple to unlock it if you supply:
Death Certificate
Original Proof of Ownership
Proof that you've inherited the 2 devices and legally own them.
Proof of your own identity.
Lots of luck.  I don't hold much hope out for this but it can't hurt to try.
Let us know if it works.
Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page to transmit this information directly to Apple.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports.  Any suggestions?
    MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

    Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • Updating Macbook (OS X v10.5.8) to be compatible with iPad Mini and iPhone 5s

    I have a MacBook5,1 -Intel Core 2 Duo,2 GHz, running OS X 10.5.8. I want to update my computer to take advantage of the newer features, and also to be compatible with my iPad Mini and iPhone 5s.
    Do I first need to upgrade to OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard to then update to OS X Mountain Lion?

    .  The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion
    10.8 Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also 10.8 Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

    I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5.  However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad.  I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app?  Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane.  thank you

    The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
    But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos. 
    What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone.  You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I hope that helps!

  • Ipad mini and iphone no longer syncs "last page used" of my ebooks

    My ipad mini and iphone recently stopped syncing the page locations for my kindle e-books. Each time i go from one device to the other i find my book on the same page it was when i last used that device and when I tap the sync circle icon it tells me that i am "currently at the furtest location across all your devices." Not! it used to sync them but now it doesn't and I don't know why.

    Sounds like the problem is with the phone. Do a hard reset and go from there.

  • Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

    The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
    I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
    Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
    When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
    Please help!
    Stuart

    Are both compatible devices / carriers?

  • HT4191 My notes disappeared from both my iPad mini and iPhone.

    One note from the notes app were deleted from my ipad mini and iphone 4s.  I opened up my ipad mini notes app and was looking at the note and all of a sudden it disappeared.  I checked other mail accounts and looked on my iphone, but it was also gone from there.  My other notes were there but the one i was looking for was gone.  I used the search key for it also. Please help!

    If it is gone, it is gone.

  • IPad mini (and iPhones) says no mail when I have some on home computer

  • Why is the notification center different on ipad mini and iPhone?

    For instance.. Weather shows in the notification center on ipad mini, and not on iPhone. Also, calculator shows on iPhone control center and not ipad mini. I can understand why the calculator doesn't display as an option for the ipad mini as the calculator isn't installed by default (for whatever reason), but why would weather show up on the ipad mini (where no native app exists), but not on the iPhone?

    Yes and Yes.
    When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
    Notifications view - on
    Today view - on
    Today summary - on
    Calendar day view - off
    Reminders - on
    Stocks - off
    Tomorrow summary - off
    Sort by Time
    The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
    Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
    Thanks for taking the time to help me!
