Hello i just bought an iPad 2 used, the only problem is i dont have the password to it, or the original iTunes account information, what should I do?

  michael

So with this problem, you should really go back to the person you purchased the product and inquire about the password of the product. When you have access into the iPad, reset the whole device and remove the passcode. If this does not work, try going to the local apple store and ask them to open it for you. Hope this helps

  • HT4623 I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?

  • I'am using iPhone4 linked with iTunes on Windows7. Now my wife also gets an iPhone and will use it with iTunes on Mac. Can we use the same iTunes account? What needs to be considered (pros/cons)?

    Who can help?

    Yes, you both can use the same iTunes account, and many users do this. The SLA permits the sharing of iTunes content among up to 5 family members in the same household. Make sure you first authorize your wife's computer: Store>Authorize this Computer.
    However, your wife will need her own Apple ID(verifiable email address), for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

  • How do I get six family apple devices to be able to use the same iTunes account to make purchases?

    Our family has an iPad, a MacBook Air, 2 iPhones, and 2 iPod touches. I tried to access music in iTunes on my MacBook Air and a message came up that said you can only have 5 devices use the same iTunes account. What can I do to allow us to all use the same account?

    Get a second Apple ID. Perhaps you should have two different Apple IDs for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

  • HT204053 I have just bought an ipad. I have already got an ipod My wife has got an iphone.  We use the same itunes account, I was perturbed to find when I turned on my ipad this morning a text someone had sent my wife was showing. How can I turn this faci

    I have just bought an iPad. I have already got an iPod and my wife has an iPhone 3. We use the same iTunes account. I am receiving text messages which people are sending to my wife's phone on my iPad. Could you please advise how I can stop that happening. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    You need to create a new account for either yourself or your wife, you can choose whether to use this account for iCloud and therefore keep your personal data such as the contacts etc separate, you can continue to use the account you are both using for iTunes so that you may share the content you have already purchased, but each use your own account for iMessage which will stop you receiving each other's messages.

  • Hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

    hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

    Both cameras on the iPad are low resolution, something like 1 meg each (the back camera is capable of 720P HD video). But the cameras are mainly aimed at FaceTime / Skype type video calls, and unless you have very good light you are unlikely to get good stills photos or videos from the iPad - you are better off using a compact camera or even your phone.

  • I just bought an ipad 2, but the packaging doesnt say ipad 2. have they given me the first generation?

    I just bought an iPad 2, but the packaging doesn't say iPad 2. have they given me the first generation?

    I don't think that the box has the gen number on it. My first gen iPad box has a picture of the screen covering the front of the box, whereas the 2nd gen box just has an angled view across the iPad in the middle of the box cover (there is a picture of the box here) - it doesn't say 'iPad 2' on it, just 'iPad'
    If you open the box then you can definitely tell by whether it has cameras on the front and back - there are pictures of the front and back of the iPad 2 on this page : http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

  • HT1848 How do I transfer the songs from my desktop to my iPad using the same iTunes account? I can only sync the other way. Thanks

    How do I transfer the songs from my desktop to my iPad using the same iTunes account? I can only sync the other way. Thanks

    DaisyDoodle,
    The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library.  That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
    As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
    Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

  • Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

    Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

    Yes you can, easily.  When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane.  Set up for that device whatever you want to sync.  When you are done, plug the second pad in.  Make sure it has a different name on the left pane.   Then sync to that pad whatever you want.  I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

  • I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

  • Using the same iTunes account, can two iPads use different phone nubers for Factime?

    Using the same iTunes account and two different iPads, is it possible to associate each iPad to a different phone number?

    They must be iPhone numbers and only if you have two iPhones that are associated with the same Apple ID. If you don't have two iPhone numbers, you can use another email address one one of the iPads in order to use FaceTime and Messages on both devices that are both using the same Apple ID.
    Assigning a new email address to one of the devices.

  • How am i able to use the same itunes account on a different ipod?

    How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?

    By just using the same iTunes account.  If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account.  Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account.  Do not create a new one.

  • TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

    You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

  • How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

    How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

    You can set up multiple accounts in Game Centre, sign out and create new account. You just need a different email address from any existing Apple ID's and a new password. You can still use the old account for purchases.
