Can I change the Apple ID associated with a serial number?

I just purchased an iPad 1 used. The previous owner had its serial number registered under his Apple ID. Does anyone know how to change the apple ID associated with a serial number? On my iPad I am the apple user associated with the device. I am not the associated Apple ID on the Apple website.

Here is the Apple product registration web site.

If you have the receipt for the device, it really doesn't matter to whom the device is registered. The warranty is tied to the device, not the owner of the device so the warranty effectively transfers when you buy the iPad from the previous owner.
Here is the site where you can check to see how long the warranty is still good for.

Actually, I think all you need is the serial number if you need warranty service and it doesn't matter who owns the iPad at the time that service or warranty issues arise.

Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

Can we change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

How do I change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

Why do you want/need to do that?

I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

How do you change the Apple ID associated with an iOS device?

So…I made the mistake of putting the wrong Apple ID (I have three – don't ask) on my iOS devices. If I try to change the Apple ID on my Mac, it wants to erase everything that I have on my Mac that is also stored on the iCloud. That is not a good solution. So, I want to change the Apple ID associated with my iOS devices (far less to lose there). The problem is that niether of my iOS devices will let me change the Apple ID associated with them – at least not that I can find.
Does anyone know how to do that so I can get my Mac on the same page with my iPhone/iPad?
Thanks.

This is the kind of question where it helps to know what you are trying to achieve since the way you phrased the question has several interpretations. CarolynSamit gave you one, here's another two:
Apple ID Support - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ -> Apple ID FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
"How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."

Another answer is you cannot. Items purchased with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different account.

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?

How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?
I have an apple ID that i have associated with my account but I want to change it to another ID that I just created. I needed to create this new ID so that both my wife and I can use the ID for our shared iTunes account and then we each have our own apple IDs with our own calendars, contacts, etc.

Change it on what way ? You can update the primary email address on an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and signing into the account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
If you want to log out of the account so that you can log in with a different account then tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device and sign out, or on a computer's iTunes use the Store > Sign Out menu option. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to redownload it and/or download updates to its apps

When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address. How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I want to change the apple ID associated with my iPhone

For many years my Apple ID was associated with my work email address. I recently retired and want to change the Apple ID associated with my phone to my personal ID (which I use with my iPad, home PC, etc.). However, I have forgotten the old password associated with my old ID, and since I no longer have access to my previous email account, I can not request a change of password email as it will be sent to my old email account which no longer exists. How can I delete the old ID and install the personal ID ?

How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

How can I can change the email address associated with my iCloud account without losing data on my iPad?

If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

How can I change the iCloud account associated with my iphone

I changed my e-mail address a few months ago including changing my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail. For some reason, my iphone and my ipad are both stuck with the iCloud username of my old e-mail address. When I try to delete these accounts like other forums have indicated to do, it won't let me because every password possible comes up as invalid and the "forgot password" e-mail never comes. I was wondering if there was a way to delete the icloud account associated with my old e-mail without having a password and replacing it with the updated iCloud information.

if for some reason your old iCloud account does not accpte or you do not remember your password, you can try this:
