Asking for email that was used to set up the ipad

I bought an ipad of ebay, The seller gave me his Apple Id to open it but still doesn't open, it asking for the ID that was used to set up the ipad.
The seller says that was the only password I used. Please help.
Thank you.

Return it to the seller. The Activation Lock implemented with iOS 7 is designed to render the theft of an iDevice useless:

If the seller is on the up and up, they will take the device back.
Sorry for your troubles,

  • How will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

    how will i activate my iphone?and keep on asking link to an apple id that was used to set up this iphone

    You need to enter the id, and the password, of the account that the phone is linked to.
    Did you buy the phone new or used ? If you bought the phone used and it's still linked to the previous owner's account then you will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the phone from their account : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support.
    If you bought the phone new and it's your account then enter the id and password that you were using in Settings > iCloud on it

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • You can use the same email address that you used to set up the old Sync? , before bookmarks can return, if I registered success?

    for my old email address account( @qq.com)
    july 2014 I install new windows xp, but I can't log in before account 44*******@qq.com, its always give me enjoyful when I was easy open bookmark url from different computer.
    but there is no any notice or email to me firefox will have new sync system, if there, I could backup before bookmarks from 28 vision ( or some june's vision), but this big browser group is quiet, now, I can't log in again old account,
    achieve process:
    1st, normal account and right password, its show me unknown account.
    2nd, Password Reset, " An email has been sent to the requested account with further information. If you do not receive an email then please confirm you have entered the same email address used during account registration.", I couldn't receive any mail(or in spam) :(
    3rd, How to update to the new Firefox Sync ...
    "You can use the same email address that you used to set up the old Sync." , before bookmarks can return, if I registered success?
    I really feel disappointment with firefox( although used for many years), much text, but couldn't resolve clear simple path. answers more hidden link to read, I just use it explore internet, I am not technology engineer, don't care what so much b***t.
    thanks, back me old bookmarks only, thanks.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

  • This iphone is currently linked to an apple id *********sign in with the apple id that was used to  set up this iphone...i got this when i connect my iphone to itunes...who can help me???plzzz

    Are you the original owner of this phone? If so sign in with the Apple ID and password you used when you first set it up.
    Or did you buy is phone used? Contact the person you bought it from and have him/her correct the problem or refund your money.
    You have encountered activation Lock that prevents stolen or lost phones from being activated. As stated the only way around this problem is to have the original owner clear the phone for your use.

  • By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc.

    Hi! By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc. After that, everything i have bought/downloaded and etc disappeared.What should i do?

    The primary email addresses on iTunes accounts have to be unique, you shouldn't be able to create a new iTunes account with the same primary email address unless the existing account had been deleted (only iTunes Support can potentially delete an iTunes account).
    Had you asked iTunes Support to delete your existing account ? If you did then that would also have deleted its purchase history. Or had you changed the primary email address on the old account ?

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I recently wanted to update my phone and so when i put it in recovery mode and tried to set it up it said that i had to enter the apple id that i used to set up the phone the first time but i dont know the information to my old account what do i do?

    You will need to remember or find the id that you used, without it you won't be able to re-activate your phone - if you are on the activation screen then does that show the first letter of the id and the email provider's name ?
    Do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in computer's iTunes library - if you do then you can get the id form that : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
    If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.

  • I reset my ipod and now it says "this ipod is currently linked to an apple id. sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this ipod".

    ok. my ipod touch 5th generation 32gb spontaneously showed me the plug to itunes simbol, so i did, and i had to reset it to factory mode. done. when i start to set it up, it asks me for an apple id used to set it up, the thing is, this apple id was created by my smaller brother at the apple store, and he does not remember the password, neither the apple id, or the security questions, or the data he gave the apple guy who was helping him. basically, i have no idea what this account is. all i know is he affirms the apple id is [email protected] thats al i got. so, is there a way to get trough this? can i go to an apple support center and get the ipod set up? is it useless now? please help me!

    If he doesn't remember the password or the Security Questions, he will have to contact Apple Support to have the Security Questions reset so the password can be reset:

  • My email address that was used to set up my ipod was deactivated by yahoo for inactivity...now i cant access my ipod  with that email address or password..i also dont have my reciept to show that i purchased the ipod from  the apple store either.

    I am not able to access my Ipod using the email address because it has been deactivated.

    Recovery the password and change the ID email address
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. See Changing your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
