How do I get pass someone else's Apple ID on a iPad when I don't know the person? I cannot get pass this page

I Bought a iPad and when I turn it on I get the hello scree, then the language page, then the country page then the fourth page says must sign in with Apple id and password and it shows the part of the persons I'd shaded out in grey. It says I need this because it activated my iPad. I cannot go any further than this page. I cannot go to settings or anything.
HOw do I get the device to delete the strangers I'd on iCloud and find my iPad So I can set up my iPad?

You won't be able to activate it. It is "Activation Locked". Return it for a refund.

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes but when i try to sync it, someone else's apple i.d. shows up and i don't know the password. I try to authorize my computer but it still won't let me

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it. When i sync my ipod it prompts me to authorize my computer
with the purchases that i've made, but when i try to do so, my apple i.d. is not what shows up and so my ipod won't sync any of my songs or apps. I have no idea who's username i'm seeing and i've never seen it before. That's the only thing that is stopping my ipod to sync, a password that isn't mine!! I am beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do, if someone can please help me i would be so appreciative you have no idea. Thank you so much

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do I unlock myself out of my ipad when I don't remember the password and cannot connect to iTunes with out it requiring a password?

I recently made a dumb decision and changed my iPad pass code, I must have blanked out because I have no memory of the password to get in and now I'm locked out. iTunes is requiring the pass code but I don't remember it! I'm not connected to iCloud for some reason so I cannot reset my iPad. I feel that I have to resort to buying a new iPad. Please help!

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do I remove an old apple ID off an iPad when you don't have the original user's log in information?

Hi, my company has recently started issuing techs iPhones and iPads. I have an iPad here we got back from an employee after termination. He gave me his 4 digit passcode to get into the iPad, I removed the passcode to unlock, and did a reset on the device. Turn it on, I get the "Hello" screen and the initial set up pages. I get to the page with "input your Apple ID" and when I tried to enter a new ID, it wouldn't accept it because the device had already been associated with a different Apple ID. The prompt it gave was to log in online with the original Apple ID and remove the device. Well... can't do that since the employee is long gone and that's not going to happen. So what do I do here? How do I remove it to set up a new Apple ID?

Without the ID/password, you won't be able to use it. Suggest you take it to an Apple store. They may have some advice.

I changed my apple Id and now when I go to use iTunes or some email... it says ID and or password are wrong. I do not have the old password so how do I log in or get it to see my new ID account??

With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.

How do I change someone else's Apple ID on my iPads icloud?

HHow do I change someone else's Apple ID on my iPads icloud??? Would really appreciate the help

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I log in to you tube on my iPhone 4 when I don't know the log in or password. I have videos I want to send to Facebook.

I. Have taken some videos on my iPhone 4. How do I post them on Facebook or add them tp You tube. I don't know what my You Tube sign in I'd and password is. If I put in the apple ID and password, it is not accepted for You Tube.

To put them on facebook, just open the facebook app and select to add a photo/video from library.
As for Youtube; The account details for that are usually completely different from your Apple ID, and you'd need to get in touch with the Youtube support about resetting your account details for there

HT4623 I have an IPhone4 S which when using Outlook suddenly displays the following warning: CANNOT GET MAIL.THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED

Hello,
I bought a used Apple IPHONE 4S about 6 weeks ago. For all this past period, it was working beautifully. This morning, I started having poblems with connecting JUST on OUTLOOK or Hotmail and on Microsoft Exchange. All other programs, such as Gmail, Yahoo as well as other apps, such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Facetime, are ALL working properly.
the One problem I am having is when I try to log onto my Outlook ( ex Hotmail) account, I get a window with the following warning:
"CANNOT GET MAIL. THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED"
I have done everything to solve it from taking out the card to switching it off to resetting the network to deleting my account to re-starting ..NOTHING worked.
PLEASE can you advise me what to do? The Network server was working great. So what happened and how can i fix it?
Thank you
Nina ...

The issue isn't with Apple/iphone or your network.
The issue is with Hotmail, there have been a ton of threads on this already with other user having issues.
You'll have to wait until hotmail resolves the issue.

If I bought an iPod and iPhone from someone and It isn't registered on my account what do I do? It won't let me register it because, the person that previously owned it has it registered. and I bought it online so I don't know the person.

I bought an iPhone and 2 iPod touch's now the 3rd from a stranger, but since it was registered on someone else's name I cannot register them, The iPhone got stolen and so did 2 of my iPod touch's I bought one from Wal-Mart and it is registered, Tried tracking it but who ever has it needs to connect to the internet on it to be able to be tracked. Now my iPhone 4 I bought off someone it was not connected or nothing but I DID purchase things on it and It wont track on iCloud, I Need to Track it It's registered but it wont show up on iCloud and My Ipod that I Have Now Can't Be Registered because its registered on someone else's account.

Registering the iPod has nothing to do with FindMyiPod/iPhone working. See the following for get the Find to work
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
Also, restoring the iPod means that you can no longer locate/contact the iPod via FindMyiPod.
Registering is not necessary and I would not worry about it.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going 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 might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
