I have found an Ipad 3 I believe it was stolen. How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?

I have bought in a flea market an Ipad 3 Wifi only I believe it was stolen. When I bought it the battery was discharged so I couldn't verify it for being locked (stolen). After I charged it and turned it on it's locked in Icloud.
How can I contact the previous owner to buy it from him ?
I don't have anything. The Ipad is Icloud locked. It only shows : s********@googlemail.com
I am willing to buy the Ipad from previous owner.
Thank you

I don't know what you want to hear, but no one here can help you. apple will not help you.
What you're dealing with is the activation lock, where it's required for the person that sets up the iPad to 'release' it to be used by someone else.
There's no hack or crack. There's no assistance anyone here can give you beyond the suggestions we already have.
Use your imagination. Or use the ipad as a pretty new paperweight.

There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

How can I remove the previous owners apple i.d. from my app store?

Just recently, after 8 months of ownership, my App Store has started to cancel my updates in favour of asking the computers previous owner to log into the app store to update. Is there any way I can remove their account from my App Store? It's getting annoying!

Were there apps that the previous owner bought from the Mac App Store on the Mac when you got it? They should have been removed before passing the Mac to you. At this point those are pirated apps and they can only be updated using the previous owners Apple ID. You should remove all of them from the Mac and buy them using your own Apple ID. Probably not what you wanted to hear.

How do I remove the previous owners name from computer

Hi all.
This is my first post on this forum and my 3rd day in my new (second hand) eMac life. I hope I do not get things wrong.
I was given this eMac, OS X Leopard by a friend who updated to a new Mac and as such there is a lot of references to his name on the computer. We removed as much as we could where his name appeared but there some place we could not.
In particular his name appears under the headings, "Devices": and "Places". Try as I may, when I find the window where changes can be made and I change it, I get an eror message saying words to the effect, "Joe Blow's name can not be removed from the computer as his name is require by the computer", it then defaults back to his name.
In my Windows PC I can change these details but here, I can not seem to be able to do it.
Is this possible and if so, would you please be able to talk me through it remembering that I have been a Windows person for the past 8 years.
Regards

Quoting from the Help:
If you are an administrator for your computer, you can delete user accounts on your computer that are no longer needed.
When you delete a user account, you can choose to save the user's files or delete them.
IMPORTANT: If the user's account is encrypted (FileVault is turned on), turn FileVault off for the user before you delete the account.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Select the user account you want to delete, then click Delete '-'.
Click OK to save the user's files on the computer, or click Delete Immediately to remove the user account and all the user's files.
If you saved the user's files, they are stored in a disk image in the Deleted Users folder, which is in the Users folder on your Mac OS X disk. To see the saved files, double-click the disk image in the Deleted Users folder. You can drag the disk image to the Trash to delete the files.
Note that you have to create a new admin user account for yourself before you proceed: you cannot delete the only admin account on the computer (which would leave you unable to do anything).

How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If not... you may have been scammed.

Hi,
My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS. The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you. You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it. Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.
Ciao.

You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

If the tech didn't erase the Mac as I stated above, he hasn't properly prepared your Mac for a second hand owner. Nothing less that erasing the HDD and returning the Mac to the shipping version of OS X so you may set up the Mac as a new Mac will suffice. All Macs since the introduction of OS X lion have shipped with iLife apps from the Mac App Store installed for free. Prior to Lion, they shipped with the boxed version of the apps.

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Hi,
Agreed with DonPick.
Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

Sir/mam. Please Help me.

Sorry, but without knowing the Apple ID and password that has been used to set up the phone, you can't set it up with a different Apple ID. The Activation Lock has to be deactivated first. And nobody but the previous owner can do that.
iCloud: Activation Lock
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

HT201441 How can I remove the previous iCloud account of the previous owner even though I bought it from him? And then he locked my phone and said that it was lost. I tried to contact him but I cannot reach him anymore. Please help me guys. :(

Guys can you help me?

No. You have reached Activation Lock, a security feature that can only be signed out from by the original owner. Not even Apple can help you out with this.
Sorry but the device is useless. Seeing you cannot contact the previous owner then a refund also seems impossible which would have been your only other option.

How do I remove the previous User ID from my Mac?

I bought my Mac from a previous owner who forgot their password to their user account. I am restricted from removing programs ETC. How do I remove their account and give me all administrative powers?

Capersaway!
You cannot use Model Specific system discs.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
You need the original system discs that shipped with the Mac when manufactured, to reinstall Jaguar 10.2.x.
Contact the previous owner, and request that the discs be furnished.
You need the a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, to upgrade.
Or, if you call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and furnish the Serial Number of the PowerBooK, you can order a replacement set of the original system discs.
If you call Apple Phone Sales 1-800-692-7753, you can purchase the Tiger 10.4.x discs.

How can I bypass the previous owners password on my iPad?

I bought a second hand iPad 4th gen the other day. It looked to be ready for me to set up the iPad, but when I got homw to try it, there was a screen saying, "This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (S*****@hotmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad." So my question is, how can I get by this? I don't have the sellers information, so I can't contact him.

Hotshotssnipe,
I sympathize with you. I'm in the same predicament right now. The person I purchased my iPad from won't respond to my queries. Everyone online will act like you are a thief. If half of them used their brains for a minute, maybe they could come up with one of many scenarios where you would be legitimately locked out of an iPad you legally purchased. In my case, the previous owner left all their personal items on the iPad and I went to erase all contents. It asked me for the Apple ID, I figured it was asking to return checked out books or something. Second time it didn't ask me and reformatted the iPad, but now I'm stuck at activation.
To answer JimHdk's question, Apple doesn't even show you the full email address. It's literally shown as S******@hotmail.com so you can't email that person.
This is a horrible idea on Apple's part. They should have made it painstakingly clear that you can't even "reformat" and activate the iPad without this ID. Especially since iOS7 is relatively young and no previous version of iOS had this feature. This will hurt legitimate users more than thieves. Even if, from all the people affected, only 10% are legitimate users, that's still a huge number. Apple should give us some other way to resolve this issue.
