How can i find the apple id that was used to purchase a computer?

Someone else in our company purchased a MacBook Air online. He said that when he went through the purchasing process he selected 'Guest' and didn't create an Apple ID. He used a company credit card to pay, which *may* have had an Apple ID associated with it (but I don't think so since it's a fairly new card).
The new computer is one day old. I'm setting it up for the user; but when I go to the 'App Store > Updates' I'm unable to update 'Pages.' It prompts me for an Apple ID. I've typed in several that are in use here, but I get the error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
Similarly, if I go to store.apple.com to look up the Order Number for this computer, I am prompted for an Apple ID (even though I have the order number).
I realize this may not be the right place to post this, but I can't for the life of me find a generic 'Apple Store' (not for Apps) or 'Apple ID' community. If someone can point me to a more appropriate community, I'll be happy to repost...

I'm being prompted for both Apple ID and password, if that's what you're asking...
I went to System Preferences > App Store and it shows "You are signed in as <myAppleID> in the App Store." So I went back to the 'App Store > Updates' to update Pages using my Apple ID/passwd, I get the error message "this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
This is a brand new computer, so whose Apple ID is associated with Pages? ...ab

HT5622 How can I switch the Apple ID that iCloud uses, if my previous Apple ID no longer works?

One of my family members got a new iPhone and set it up with the same apple ID that the rest of my family uses. Now we can no longer use this apple ID. We have tried changing the password but the security questions will not accept the correct answers and the authorization email will not send. I can't delete the iCloud account on my phone because you need the old account's password to deactivate find my iphone.

Cancel my question, please. I found the answer: delete the account, enter the new Apple ID and save data to device and merge data, and create a new account.

If you sync with the new computer it will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the selected content of the new computer.
The pics that you have taken with the iphone should be imported regularly to your computer as you would with any digital camera. You can then organize them and sync them back to the iphone if you wish.
If you have had itunes perform a backup on the new computer, you should get the pics taken with the iphone back, but I would import them before trying anything.

Are you the original owner of this phone? If so sign in with the Apple ID and password you used when you first set it up.
Or did you buy is phone used? Contact the person you bought it from and have him/her correct the problem or refund your money.
You have encountered activation Lock that prevents stolen or lost phones from being activated. As stated the only way around this problem is to have the original owner clear the phone for your use.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

If you are the original owner of the phone and have forgotten your Apple ID, start here:

If this is a phone you found, it is useless to you. There is no one who can put you in touch with the original owner and no way to bypass that message.
