How do I remove a strange Apple ID Account from IPad?

When I bought my IPad 3,  I gave it to an installer in Dubail to download and install applications in my iPad and he did while also setting up the iPad initially. It appears the installer used his own apple Id in doing the initial download and set up which I did not realize then. Now each time I try to download any application in my iPad, the installer Id appears and I am prompted to enter his password. No matter how I try, my own Id does not appear and so can not be prompted to enter my own password. How do I delete the installer Id to enable my Own ID and password to be prompted when I download applications?  Please help me solve this problem as I can not download any application now.

The easiest way is to go into your  (settings)  then to (general) and near the bottom you''ll see ( ' reset ' )
You can reset your device without losing any email, texts, photos, apps, etc. All the reset does is
revert your device to the point before you made any setting choices such as:
wallpaper
volume
text modes ( on/off ) automatic spell check, caps, etc.
screen brightness, etc. all the changes made to the factory presets
I had to do this to my new iPad(3) and it worked like a charm.
It only took a few minutes to go back in and change
all the preference items back to my specific design choices.
Best of luck!

  • 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.

  • How do I remove my sister's email/account from my Apple ID account so she can make a new one for herself?

    Hello,
    Currently my sister and I share an Apple ID account under my email. How can I keep my current Apple ID and just remove her from mine so she can create her own?
    Thanks!

    All she has to do is create the apple ID at id.apple.com (or anywhere else) and then on her device go into Settings > iTunes and App Store and sign out. She will then need to go into Settings > iCloud and sign out there. She should then check Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime to make sure your Apple ID is not signed in there. She should then be able to sign in to her own Apple ID in all the previously mentioned settings.
    If you are asking "How can my sister use her own Apple ID but retain the purchases she's made using mine", there isn't a way to do that. She'll be able to use and play the music and apps, but will not be able to restore the apps to the phone or update them unless she signs in with your password. Purchases cannot be moved from one account to another.

  • How do I remove a duplicated e-mail account from m...

    Hello.
    I have just updated my N97 and expected to lose all my data in the process, so after the update when the phone asked for my e-mail account details, I entered them.
    Now I have two folders for my GMail account.
    How can I remove the duplicate, as I can find nothing in the options screens to delete, or remove
    Thanks,

    Guess what ?  I found a similar questio (and answer) on another thread, regarding an E65.
    It was just about the same method for the N97 - so Sorted !
    These phones are getting too darn complicated !

  • How do I remove my husband's icloud account from my new iPad?

    Before I bought my iPad, I only had the iPhone so I was content to use my husband's apple account where we have all our music and apps.  Once I bought the iPad however, the primary iCloud account was set up with my husbands apple id.  I have since set up an iCloud account, but I can't set up a new apple account unless I want to lose all my apps and music.  What I want to do is set up my iPad with my iCloud as the primary account.  How can I do this without messing up my husband's iCloud account?  Please keep in mind I am NOT a technical person so if anyone can help, it has to be spelled out step by step!  Thanks!!

    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account will only delete his account from your iPad. Then you can add your own.

I guess you get what you pay for.

  • How can i remove a user name or account from the ipad?

    I purchased the iPad from a friend who never used it but entered a user name and profile.  When I try to load something from eBooks, it automatically defaults to the other user name and not mine and I don't know how to change it to my user name (email address).  How can I completely remove anything related to that other user name and info?

  • How do I remove my husband's itunes account from my computer? He moved it to his own laptop, want to get it off mine

    My husband got a new laptop and moved his itunes over there. I want to move my itunes from my old laptop to this one, but can't figure out how to get his off of here first. I don't want to have both on here, he never uses this computer so I don't need to switch between them. I have a Dell laptop with Vista on it if that matters. Help?

    Go to iTunes menu, STORE and sign out.  Then you can sign in from there or create a new account which should match the account you have on your iPad and iPhone.

  • How do I remove the header/footer when printing from ipad safari?

    I'm trying to print invoices from a web app I'm using in safari on my ipad1. When I print there doesn't seem to be anyway not to include the header and footer that prints by default with Safari. I'd rather not have to use a second app just to print and go back and forth to the browser. Any ideas on this?
    The printing itself is no issue at all and I'm using an HP6500A plus over an airport extreme in case you need those details.

    I have been bumping up against this issue in the last few days. I have redone my output as PDF and that works OK - i.e. There are no Safari footer details on the AirPrint printed page.
    But now I find that PDF documents frequently print with white space bands across the page (chopping off some of the text). I can even replicate this when pinch zooming on my iPad with a PDF document. So I suspect a bug in the PDF processing functionality within IOS. I am running IOS 4.3 so I had better update to see if the issue goes away.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Many thanks

    Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
    Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.
