Cannot erase my iPad Mini

I changed my Apple ID.
I need to erase my iPad Mini to sell it.
I follow the steps to erase, and a pop-up says to enter the password for my "OLD" Apple ID.
I DO NOT remember that password.
HOW CAN I ERASE MY IPAD MINI?

The following is a C&P of a Gail from Maine post responding to a similar question elsewhere.
Go to FORGOT APPLE ID to  retrieve the Apple ID. Then reset the password. If you don't remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to reset them: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

  • HT4623 I cannot activate my iPad mini

    I cannot activate my iPad mini because the activation server is unavailable and I cannot activate my iPad mini from my iTunes because find my iPhone is still on, please help.

  • If I erase my iPad mini will it erase ios 7 to ios 6? I'm tired of ios 7, it freezes a lot!

    Sorry Kimberly, it will not. Apple does not provide a downgrade path for the iOS for a variety of reasons.
    If you have any particular questions or issues you would like to discuss, please post those.

    i cannot see my iPad mini as one of my devices. help

    Are you using the USB cable? Have you updated to the latest version of iTunes? Have you tried booting your iPad into Recovery Mode and restoring it from the latest backup?

  • Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013

    Cannot sync my iPad mini or my iPod touch. I have never had problems in past. Last sync, Jan. 2013. Have done diagnostic on both with itunes as it does recognize them and they comes up clean. Where do I go from here?

    The music should be on your syncing computer.  Just sync the music to the iPod.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    However, the music and movie redownload is only applicable to the USA with the latest iTunes since iCloud (beta) is now available in the USA.

  • Why itunes cannot recognise my ipad mini retina ios7 on windows 7 64-bit?

    I have recently bought an iPad mini with retina display - iOS 7 and when I connect it to my computer, there are several problems:
    1. iTunes does not recognise it. At times I do get an error displayed that it is not able to connect to the device.
    2. the iPad display says it is not able to charge from the computer USB.
    I have had problems before with this computer and my iPhone 4S as well as my new 5S.
    It was always able to resolve it by reinstalling the driver and or following the instructions to reinstall iTunes.
    I have tried all of that several times now and it is simply unable to recognise it. I can open it on My Computer, which means I can download the pictures of the iPad, but I can't put music and other items on it. And I cannot make a backup of the apps that I have installed etc.
    Any suggestions? I have had for a week now and have not been able to successfully connect even once!
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, desktop PC
    iTunes 11.1.3
    iOS 7.0.4
    I would also like to configure it for wifi synching but that is only possible if I manage to connect it successfully via the cable at least once.
    Note: the cable is the original cable and I tried it with my iPhone 5S cable as well (just in case it's the cable). Also tried every one of my 6 USB ports on the desktop (4 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0).
    I'm at wits end. Please help!

    Hi. I just solved this problem by seeing another post here. Take a picture withe ipad's camera and then my computer and itunes immediately recognizes it.

    Hi all! I have found the answer in another forum and this has 100% worked for me!!!
    1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
    •From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
    •Tap and hold on the app.
    •When it starts to jiggle, tap the red  ⛔ in the top corner to close it;
    ***Please close all open apps on your phone***
    2) Tap Settings.
    3) Tap Safari.
    4) Tap Clear History.
    5) Tap the Clear History button.
    6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button
    See the answer in context
    I hope this helps a lot of people!! Spread the word (seeing as apple doesn't seem to want to/care!)

  • Cannot manually backup iPad mini or update iOS 7 over wifi or iTunes.

    Hi all,
    I delayed updating my ipad mini because I'm lazy but have a lot of app updates so thought it was time. My iPhone 4s went fine but my iPad is frustrating me to no end. I cannot update it wirelessly. When I press General > Software Update, it fails to load any updates after checking for ages and displays the message "unable to check for update" and says an error occurred. When I plug it into my Mac, it tries to set it up as a new ipad or wants to restore it from my backed up iphone data. It gives me no opportunity to back it up manually through itunes. Both my macbook and itunes are up to date. This is a new macbook and my first macbook so my ipad has never been plugged into it before but my iphone worked.
    The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is that my mac is plugged into an ethernet cable and I set it to be a hotspot for my ipad.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    You can't go back. Period.
    But carefully explain what your issues might be. Someone here will provide assistance. But general statements of "WiFi doesn't work well" doesn't give us enough information to even begin to help you.

  • I have a family member passed away and cannot unlock her iPad mini

    I have a family member that passed away and left behind an iPad mini. No one in the family knows her iTunes password and it doesn't look like she synced it with a computer. Is there any way to erase and re-set it? We tried recovering the password on Apple's website but do not know the answers to her security questions.

    Hey there Toni,
    It sounds like you are needing to unlock this iPad but the passcode is unknown. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. According to the following article you should use recovery mode to restore the iPad and be able to use it. The caveat to this is that it will delete all the data on the iPad.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Cannot set up ipad mini, no settings icon

    My partner tried to set up his apple ipad, however there is no settings icon, how do you get back, have never used one before or anything similar?
    Many thanks

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see ht silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    Also, this may sound silly, but the iPad has the ability to have multiple 'pages'. These are designated by small dots on teh screen, just above the bottom line of icons. Have you tried swiping sideways to see if your settings icon is just on a different page?
