HT1918 My ipad has the previous owners Apple id . I need to put my email and password in how can ido this

Lookin to know how to enter new appl id on my ipad the previous owners id requesting password keeps coming up. I cannot contact him

You can log out of the previous owner's account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store on iOS 5 or below) and you can then log in with your account. But if there is any content from the previous owner still on it then that will remain tied to their account (so only their account will be able to download updates to those apps) - you will be better off resetting back to factory defaults (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings) and starting 'as new' with it.

idk, you need the original receipt that was given with the original purchase. does the receipt for the install have the serial number for that particular iPad?
has to have the serial number, date of purchase, and the location it was purchased from

HT201441 i bought an iphone4 with the previous owners apple account id and no way to contact them

i want to reset this phone to factory settings but it has the previous owners apple account id
password that of course i dont know and i have no way to contact them i bought this phone at a flea market the past weekend .Can i do this myself or do i take it to a apple store?

I'm afraid that if the previous owner has locked the phone, only he can unlock it, either by giving you the ID and password or by removing it from his list of devices (which he should have done before selling it on).
As you cannot contact him, you will be unable to use the phone. There is no way round this - taking to Apple won't help. Your only option is to take it back to where you bought it and try to get them to refund your money, as they have sold you a useless device.

How can I log into my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information? I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

How can I activate my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information? I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

What you've run into is the activation lock. Previous owners are supposed to wipe their devices, and to do that they have to enter their apple ID's. If yours wasn't wiped then it was a careless owner, or the dark side is that whomever sold it, it wasn't theirs to sell.
Regardless, what Deggie says is your only recourse. Get your money back or own an unusable brick.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

How i can open my ipad if the previous owner forget his apple ID

how i can open my ipad if the previous owner forget his apple ID

A valid bill of sales with serial number would be a good start.
Probably a better solution would be have the previous owner check with Apple to find out what his old password was.

No, you will need to contact the previous owner, he/she is the only person that can remove it from their account : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515

I bought a used iPod off eBay and it has the other owners apple id on it so how do I change it to match my iPad that I own?

I bought a used iPod on eBay and the previous owners apple ID is still showing up so how do I change it to my existing apple id I already have?
When I go to the apple store it works but if I go to apps to download something it only shows the previous owners apple ID and I don't know where to go to change it to mine.

You would change it in settings.
You chould read the manual.
I would reccommend restoring as new.

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.

Apple says that the Mac was supposed to be erased and taken back to the most recent version of OS X with which it shipped. You should not have any of the previous owner's apps. That violates the Terms of Use for Mac App Store apps.

Can't update iPhoto and Kindle apps because they need the previous owners Apple ID

I was recently given a Mac Pro (which I absolutely LOVE). iphoto and Kindle both need to be updated however because they are under the previous owners Apple ID I have no idea how to do it w/out contacting the previous owner?

The apps are licensed for only computers owned by the previous owner. You should delete them from your computer. Find each app in Launch Pad, click and hold on it until it wiggles and an "X" appears next to it, then click the "X".
You can then purchase any you need with your account. Kindle is free, iPhoto is only $14.99

Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id".

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!

Purchased phone but cannot activate it because its asking for the previous owner apple account information

i purchased a iphone 4 which wants the previous owners apple account info.

If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)
