How can i re-activate my ipad with my own ID

How can i re-activate my ipad with my own ID, pls i need an urgent reply.
Thanks.

Are you trying to activate a used iPad? You may not be able to due to being Activation locked. The previous owner did not erase everything.)
If the iPad was running iOS 7,  iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

    You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

    how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

    If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
    If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

  • How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

    How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

    To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
    If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

    I just purchased an iPad air.  I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account.  Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong.  How can I sync these devices?  Thanks Jenni

    When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine.  You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
    Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
    If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password.  You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

    Use iCloud to backup the iPad. Many users don't use their iPads with iTunes at all anymore. Personally, I would never rely only on iCloud, but I would guess that millions of iOS users are now using only iCloud and not backing up with iTunes at all.

  • How can I set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files?

    I want to set up multiple ipads with preloaded apps and files before handing them out to employees.  We intendend the employee to be able to install their own content on the device using their own itunes account.  When I attempted to connected to a pc using a personal account my the content obtained by the company account was prompted to be removed.  Was this done incorrectly?  Is there a way I can set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files so that they don't get removed when the user connects them to another computer with another itunes account?
    Right now we are looking to have the employee use their own itunes account and reimburse the expense for the needed apps, but this could be an issue if they leave the company and the device is reassigned.

    Yes this is possible. I've been using Apple Configurator to do this (you could also use iTunes to restore backups). The trick is, you need to tell the end user not to sync apps within his/her iTunes on his/her computer. You will need to instruct the end user to download apps OTA using the App Store on the iPad rather than with iTunes on his/her computer. If the user tries to sync apps on his/her computer, it will wipe out apps that you installed. However if the user downloads apps OTA, your apps and the user downloaded apps will both stay on the iPad.
    When you hand the iPad to the user, be sure to log out of your company Apple ID on the iPad at Settings -> Store and have them sign in with their personal Apple ID. That way it is all set for them to download apps under their own Apple ID.

  • Now my family has 3 iPads ,all with the same Apple ID .  How do I set up each iPad with its own info?

    Now my family has 3 iPads, all with the same Apple ID.  How do I set them up with their own info.

    Hello marie196,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services

    Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

  • How can I format pl-sql code with my own settings

    Are there any tools for formatting pl-sql in SD 1.1 excepting Ctrl-B?
    How can I adopt Ctrl-B for my own needs?

    There are a couple of options you can tweak in Tools - Preferences - SQL Formatter.
    It's very basic at this time, but will be enhanced in future releases. You can vote to add weight and add comments on the SQL Developer Exchange, there are 3 or 4 requests already for this.

  • How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

    Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
    But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

    Hi,
    I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices,  unfortunate as that may be.
    This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
    broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television.  We should expect some
    bumbs along the road.
    This may be an unrelated problem:
    On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
    screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
    After OS 5,  HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE  -  all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
    The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity.  Xfinity is now letterbox.   Very, very annoying!!!
    The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem.  I sure hope they do.

  • How can I re-activate my CS3 with connectivity issue?

    I received a new MacbookPro for Xmas , migrated successfully but need to "re-activate" my CS3. when i open the app I get the activation screen but when i click "over internet", it attempts then gives me an "Activation-No Connection" screen that loops if i retry. I have wireless internet- working. I even plugged-in by RJ45 ethernet. Im able to access the Adobe secure (https) site & activation server (2 logos) based on their "test' link. Ive turned off the firewall on the Macbook. But I still get the same error screen- it gives me options: 1) proxy server(don't use) 2) by phone- no longer supported! (I love co.'s that stand by their products, she said sarcastically).
    ANY ideas, thots greatly appreciated. I did notice upon trying to open various CS3 apps that I got a "files moved" notice with a "repair" button- which I did click on but it made no difference. IS IT POSSIBLE that this is a result of the migration? If so, should I uninstall/reinstall CS3 & try to activate?
    Again, any help, thanks. Sign my: Lost in LA!
