Bought Apple TV off a friends friend. Connected everything. Won't accept my ID or password ?

I bought Apple TV from a friends friend and have tried putting in my Apple ID and password and it keeps saying they are not recognised! I have connected everything correctly how do I fix this?

This is the iPad forum for Apple Tv issues post in the Apple TV forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/appletv/appletv
I have requested the hosts move the post there anyway.

If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

Sign out and sign in with your own Apple ID.

Ok i just bought a iPhone 4 off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of iCloud account have been takin and want let me make one what should I do

You can't do anything, except use a different device (or a Mac) to setup iCloud and then transfer the details to the phone you bought.
Clearly your friend setup multiple iCloud accounts for some reason (you only need one) using up all the allocation for that device, and didn't tell you before selling you the phone.

HT2204 Changed e-mail address & Apple ID, verified by Apple. Itunes changed but cannot get Messages, Facetime or Icloud. Keep on throwing up old email address & won't accept new or old password. Help needed!

Changed e-mail address & Apple ID. Verified by Apple. Itunes & email working but cannot access Messages,Facetime & Icloud. Keep throwing up old email address & wont accept either new or old passwords. Anyone got a solution?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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.

AP connection lost. Won't accept it's WEP password.

OK, so for no apparent reason I can no longer establish an AP connection with my M-Mini. Entering the factory WEP password leads nowhere. Is it possibe that latest OS update to 10.6.8 is no longer compatible with the Westel 327 modem I use? Do I need a new modem? Or is their some voodoo to solve this problem? I use the uilt in AP on my Mimi to link to my iPod touch and PS3.
At wits end, please help,

This same problem happened to me, all the sudden one day my mac decided to revert to the original standard root username and password which I obviously did not know. In order to change this:
1) Activate single user mode on reboot as by pressing cmd + s as your computer starts up. Make sure you do it right away, and keep the keys pressed down.
2) Where the cursor pops up, type exactly
/sbin/mount - uw/
3) When the next cursor pops up type exactly
passwd
4) Then you can type any password you want (now changing the root password to be what you want)
Note you will not be able to see what you type, but the text is being recognized
5)The computer asks for you to retype the password, retype it
6) Type reboot
Once the computer restarts you can navigate to system preferences>accounts> and then unlock the account (lock is located on the bottom left corner) using Username: root and the password you just set. Henceforth, you can appoint your account as the administrator. Hope it works!
PS- Google is a wondrous troubleshooting tool everyone!!! (Have posted this response to many posts already)

My Mac stays stuck on grey screen. I've tried the option key. The shift keys. Nothing helps. The problem is I bought the computer off a friend and I don't have any disks. Any suggests would be great..

Can you see a serial number anywhere? Don't post it here, just let me know if if you have it.

We just bought a ipad2 from a friend and we reset it but she cant remember her original email so we can transfer this to us

We bought a ipad from a friend but she doesnt know the email address or password she used to set it up we have already reset it what can we do now?

Well, a portion of it will appear in the activation screen. It could be enough to jog her memory. She is going to have to reset the password so she can remove the device. If she cannot remove the device from her account, the device is useless to you. If she does not want to try and remove it, then demand your money back. Apple cannot assist you. If however, she purchased the device new, she can take the device and the original sales slip to an actual Apple Store and they may be able to help.

My iPhone won't accept my Apple ID after upgrade

Hi
I just downloaded the iPhone OS 5 update and my phone won't accept my me.com password so I can't unlock it.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm using the same id and password to log in here so it's definitely the right one!
Thanks

HT1212 I bought an iPhone 4 off a friend it says "iPhone Disabled Connect to iTunes" but it still wont work.

i bought they phone from a friend. it says disabled. i brought it to the phone company but they cant restore it. anyways i can restore it at home? it has a passcode on it do i have no clue. i need help!

You are trying to restore from a backup. You need to search on how to put the phone into DFU mode to restore it without using the password. Google is your friend there.

HT5796 I bought an Ipad from a friend's friend that was moving to his home country, and when I tried to set up the ipad it won't let me because it says it is linked to an apple ID and that I need to enter the same apple ID but i donn't know it, what do i

So I bought an ipad from a friend's friend that was leaving to his home country but the ipad is linked to his account and I can't reach him to ask for the information that the ipad is asking so I was wondering if there is a way that I can reset the ipad without me having to enter his apple id and password.

No, there is not.
That person will have to release the iPad from Find My iPad or you will not be able to use it.
