How can I reset a device that the previous owner refuses to unlock?

I WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SEIZES PROPERTY COLLECTED FROM BEING ON LEIN. WE HOLD THE PROPERTY AND IF THE COLLATERAL ISN'T PAID FOR OR NEGOTIATED TO STANDARDS, IT'S HELD FOR 30 DAYS (WE USUALLY HOLD UP TO 90 DAYS IN MOST CASES) AND THEN THAT PROPERTY BECOMES THE OWNER OF THE LEIN COMPANY TO DO OR SELL TO RECOVER COSTS RELATED TO COLLATERAL DEBT.
THAT ALL BEING SAID... THAT IS WHY MY QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD THE NEW OWNER OF ANY APPLE DEVICE IPAD, IPOD, IPHONE ETC....BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO A DEVICE IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RESET OR ASK FOR ICLOUD INFO??
IS THERE A WAY I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION AS TO PROVE DEFAULT AND SEIZE OF THE DEVICE SO IT CAN BE FACTORY RESET?

I don't have the previous owner apple account how can I activate my iPhone without the previous owner?

What can I do to active my new iPhone 5s if I don't have the previous owner apple ID because I don't know him.

So the trick here is at what point are you getting stuck? You'll know whether or not you can use the device after you've restored it in iTunes. If the previous owner had not removed their iCloud account (or turned off Find My iPhone) before you do this, then the phone is forced into Activation Lock (which you'll likely see after restoring the device, upon setting it up). If this is the case, you either HAVE to contact the previous owner and have them help you type in their password or remove the phone from their iCloud account by logging into iCloud.com, or if you can provide valid proof of purchase you may be able to get support through AppleCare or an Apple Store. Otherwise, see if you can return it! Good luck!

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

ICloud has loaded my contacts to my daughters iPhone how can I separate 2 devices that are on one account

You can't. The whole point of iCloud is to sync contacts, calendars etc to all devices connected to the same account.
For your daughter to maintain her own contacts and calendars in iCloud, she'll need her own iCloud account, using her own AppleID. Sign out of iCloud on your daughters phone then setup a new iCloud account for her:
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
(Note that this does not affect purchases made from the iTunes / AppStores. You can still use different AppleIDs for both iTunes and iCloud on the same device.)

I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

HT201401 How can i reset my iphone if the Sleep/Wake button does not work?

My camera shuts off every time that I try to take a picture. I would like to reset my IPhone in order to try and solve the problem. My Sleep/Wake button does not work.
How can I reset my IPhone without the Sleep/Wake Button working?
Thanks for the help.

When pressing the sheep/wake button, the iPhone's screen is not turned off if on and does not turn on if off, and pressing and holding the sleep/wake or on/off button does not bring up slide to power off?
And you can't do a reset by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
If so and there is no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since more than likely there is a hardware problem.

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

Thanking you in anticipation!

I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

I bought a used iphone. I installed ios 7 before I realized that the previous owner's email and password are still in the phone. How can I remove them so that I can use the icloud and "find my phone" feature?

Thanks so much! It will be kinda weird to contact the person directly, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anything that I can refer her to in this discussion to let her know I am legit, and not a creeper? Also, I don't know if you can answer this or not. When I plug my phone into itunes, and it says that it is backing up, does that mean that it is going into the other person's cloud, since I cannot access it?
