Can the change Apple ID on iPad

First off I am a Newbie to the iPad...
i have 2 questions...
1) Over a year ago my company purchased an iPad (don't know if it is just an iPad or iPad2)
It was going to be used by Restaurant Servers to place orders.
It was only used a couple of times and then put away.
Now we want to start using it again.
I powered on the iPad and there were some updates so I let the iPad install them.
Once the updates were completed, the next screen came up with the following
"to finish setting up iCloud, enter the Apple ID password for (email address)"
I have tried every password I can think of but to no avail, they did not work.
The person who set the iPad up, is no longer here. (I can not call this person and ask if they know what the password is)
I know the Apple ID but do not know what the password is.
I tried the Forgot password however I do not know the person first and last name that was used. I have tried several different names and they did not work either.
Now I have created a new Apple ID and password (and will put that information in a safe place)
I can skip the "to finish setting up iCloud, enter the Apple ID Password for (email address) however the next message comes up with
"Are you sure? If you skip this step, some iCloud service may not be set up completely"
If I skip, can I finish setting up the iCloud services after I change the Appile ID login?
which is my next question:
2) How do I change the Apple ID on the iPad? I am not a user of Apple products (however I will be after I get this iPad setup correctly) so I need instructions.
Ok I do have another question.... In order for me to change the ID and password will i need the ID and password of the one that is currently on the iPAD?
Thanks in advance.

You have run into Activation Lock. You will not be able to get around it without knowing the password of the person it is currently locked to. Get the original receipt for the iPad and make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if they can assist you.

Can't change Apple ID on iPad

My sister who is not very tech savvy let me borrow her iPad. Her co-workers', who apparently helped her when she first got it, Apple Id comes up when I go to the iTunes & App Store. How do I change that the Apple ID? It is not giving me the option to sign out.
Plz help,
Narie

First of all note that if you switch Apple ID's on her iPad so that you can download something for free on her iPad using your ID, you will lock her out of her own Apple ID for 90 days. You can only associate a device with another ID once every 90 days. So if that is your desire, don't do it.
If you need to sign out of her ID for some other reason such as troubleshooting purposes and the ID is greyed out and you can't sign out. Check Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts. They may have turned off changes to accounts and that would prevent you from being able to sign out of her ID.

I have a new iPad with wifi. When I send messages I can see my sons and my husbands but not my phone number. We all have an iPad and all use the same apple ID as iPad the bill. How can I remove their numbers and add mine?

Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

HT1766 Can the backup file for a IPAD be stored and accessed on an external drive?

Can the backup file for a IPAD be stored on an external drive to free up space on a computer?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?, I have an ipad2 can i change it with new ipad without charge?

Hi,i have an ipad 2 can i change it with new ipad without pey charge ?

No. Apple does not do trade-ins. Sell the iPad 2 and use the money
toward an iPad 4. If you are still within the return window of the retailer
where you purchased the iPad 2, return it and buy an iPad 4.

Change Apple ID on iPad app?

Can I change Apple ID associated with a newsstand magazine app? I am moving to a new iPad and am using a different Apple ID on the new one.

You may authorize an iPad to use content from more than one Apple ID. However, the most simple way to do this is to authorize a Mac or a PC to use the content from multiple Apple IDs and commingle the content in the same iTunes content libraries. Then sync all the content to the iPad.

Can i change apple id to update a game? if its possible how i can change it? if its not possible why in this generation why its not possible?

can i change apple id to update a game? if its possible how i can change it? if its not possible why in this generation why its not possible?

You can't. All apps, and any other content from the store, are tied to the account that downloaded them, and they will remain tied to that account - so only the account that bought/downloaded an app can download updates to an app. Are you having problems downloading an app update via the app's own account ?

HT5622 how can we change apple id username...??

How can we change apple if username

You can change the non-Apple email address which forms your Apple ID and hence your login to the various facilities such as iTunes, iCloud and these forums - is that what you mean?
To do this go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on 'Manage your Apple ID'.
If you mean the user name which appears in these forums - melvinthms - you can't change that other than by obtaining a new Apple ID and signing into a new account in the forums.

if I delete my account on my iphone/ipad to log on with the new details, won't it delete the 'data on this device associated with this account' or will it all be still there when I log on with new id?
If you log out, it will ask if you want to delete the data on your advice.
All data will remain in iCloud.
Login back in with new AppleID will restore it.

Lets take first issue first: Apple does not charge a customer to 'keep' iPad access. That does not happen at apple. If you were billed and charged that amount of money from someone you were speaking to over the phone, you were not talking with Apple support. If you need to speak with apple support you are free to call them at 800MYAPPLE and they will talk to you for no more money than 19.00/ support event.

I'm sorry you have this happen to you - that being charged fraudulently for a non rendered service.
Good luck to you Friend.

Can the Flashback malware infect my iPad?

Many thanks Roger.
I've got Intego VirusBarrier on the iMac, which I also use to scan my iPad periodically.
No issues found on either, so good news!

How do you change the default apple Id on iPad 1. I had to change my id but can't figure out where to change it on my device.

I can't figure out how to change the default appleid on my iPad. Had to change the I'd and password because I was hacked by my kid. I wish I was as smart as him lol.

settings->itunes & app stores->tab unwanted appleid and click logout

How can i change Apple id on the administrator account?

I recently got an imac with the mac mini. I am switching over to mac from being a lifelong pc user, so this is new to me. When i first set up the computer i put in the apple id with my email address, but it was the same one that i use for my ipad. I am now trying to change this because when someone else is on the imac and i try to face time with them from the imac to my ipad it wont let me because i am basically calling myself. Or when i send messages through the messaging app from the imac to my another persons ipod it comes out with the email address that i have on my ipad. I tried to change it by going to System Preferences> Users and Groups> Change apple id. Yet when i change it and save it, it still has the old apple id. I am not sure if i am making any sense but if someone could please help me figure this out i would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks
Mariela

I agree with drdocument about having one Apple ID, but I have two because Apple switched to using email addresses, so my original ID was no longer "valid" in some cases.
Two switch the user ID, go to System Preferences/Users & Groups. After unlocking the lock, on the password tab you should see an Apple ID box. I was able to add both IDs and can switch between them.
I hope this helps.
