Help , I need to delete pics off my iPad that were left on it from the previous owner !

I bought my iPad used from someone , they thought they had deleted their pics that were on the iPad but it turns out they had not and I cannot figure out how to delete them ? This is taking up all the memory on my iPad and creating a major issue , does anyone know what to do ?

What should have been done: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
And what you may still want to do to start fresh.

Deleting photos off iPhone 5c that were automatically synced from an iPhone 4s?

I have an iPhone 4s and all of my photos are automatically synced to my dad's girlfriends iPhone 5c, and they can't be deleted off her phone. So I need some help getting them off her phone and keeping them from being sent. Please and Thank you to anyone who can help!

If the photos came to the new iPhone after being synced in iTunes to a computer, then you will need to uncheck photos in iTunes for that new iPhone and sync/Apply the changes.
If these photos are listed in the My Photo Stream on the new device, its becasue both phones are using the same Apple ID in Settings > iCloud.
If you want to use the same account, everything will continue to sync from Settings > iCloud that is turned on, turn off Photos in there to stop uploading photos to My Photo Stream, or Delete Account and either don't use iCloud or set it up with your own account/email address.

Can someone tell me how to delete photos off my iPad that came from my iPhone?

How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream on my devices?
After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

How do I delete videos off my ipad that are no longer on my computer

I have some TV shows that I want to delete off my ipad but I cannot seem to use the swipe to the left method. There is a cloud to the right of the button. I have stopped syncing them with my computer, in fact have deleted them from the computer.

If you are seeing a cloud icon, they are not actually on your device, just available to download. If you wish to turn this off: Settings app > Videos > Show All Videos [turn OFF]. This is also available in for the Music and iBooks apps.

Delete document in a project that was created by copying from the Solution

Here is our scenario:
We have a Solution linked to a Maintenance project.
Additionally I have an Implementation project that I pulled Scenarios from the Solution as a starting point (ie. SD). I used the COPY documents option.
Now, I would like to delete a document from the Implementation project and I cannot because the attached error message.
What is the standard process for something like this? Any suggestions.
Can;t find the attachment option: ERROR: the document is still in use and cannot be deleted.
When I click the Where_used is see the SOLUTION, the Maintenance project and the Implementation Project

Hi Kelly,
Firstly, try deleting the assignment in the implementation project by using the button with a "minus" icon. Then in the maintenance project you try the deletion. If it stil doesn't allow you to delete it. Try deleting all the assignments and afterwards you may try to use the report solman_unused_documents to find the documents without any assignment and locate this to delete.
Please read the wiki page for documents in solar01 and solar02. It may help you to better understand my recommendation.

How do I delete photos on my iPad that were added with the SD card adaptor?

I added photos to my iPad using the SD Card Adaptor over a year ago. They now appear in the 'Photos' tab on the iPad. They are not in Photo Stream and they do not appear in Albums under Camera Roll or Last Import. I have connected my iPad to the PC and opened the DCIM folder and they are not there at all.
I have Googled this question repeatedly and can not find an answer. I have viewed many YouTube tutorials that I thought would give me the right answer and... nope.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks Clyde. But the photos do not show up in iTunes either!
Well, let's just say, that I can't see them there! All I see in iTunes under Photos is the option to Sync photos.

Is there any way to recover deleted movies off of events that were not in the editing box

i just want to know

Are you referring to "rejected" clips?
If so, you can either use the Unmark Selected Video Button (star outline button in toolbar) or the Show dropdown menu and choose Rejected Only.
Not sure what you mean by "editing box" either. Do you mean the Project window?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

I purchased a ipod 5 and i need to activate it and i already removed the device from the original owners account and i turned off the ipod and turned it back on but it still asks me to activate it what should i do ?

I purchased a used ipod touch 5 and i cant activate it because i needed to remove the device from the owners account but once i did remove it it kept asking me to activate it what shoukld i do ?????

Just what do you mean by activate? Are you getting an error message?If it is still asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password the iPod was not removed from the previous owner's account

I want to reset my Macbook Pro back to factory condition because I want to completely eradicate Mackeeper which the previous owner (it is preloved) had downloaded. But I don't want to lose the Microsoft Office that she had installed previously. Help?

I recently bought a pre-loved Macbook which has been sparsely used but I only realised Mackeeper was installed after I got back home. I did a thorough check previously before I bought it but I didnt know what Mackeeper was until I checked it out online. I want to get rid of it completely and the only way to do that is to reset my Macbk to factory mode but by doing so, I will delete Microsoft Office too and the previous owner had lost the key product no and the neccessities to reinstall the software. I have seen others say something about moving it to an external hard drive but I don't have one and I think it would be costly? Please, any experts on this matter come forward and give your best opinions. Thanks!
Additional info -
Software type: OS X 10.9.2

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

HT1918 My ipad has the previous owners Apple id . I need to put my email and password in how can ido this

Lookin to know how to enter new appl id on my ipad the previous owners id requesting password keeps coming up. I cannot contact him

You can log out of the previous owner's account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store on iOS 5 or below) and you can then log in with your account. But if there is any content from the previous owner still on it then that will remain tied to their account (so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps) - you will be better off resetting back to factory defaults (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings) and starting 'as new' with it.
