The Activation Lock can't be bypassed. Unless you're able to contact the previous owner(or they later remove the lock themselves), it's useless to you.

Stolen iPad (check before buying a 2nd Hand iPad)

We lost an iPad today (4/12/12), apparently picked up by a guy in the Dressing Room @ Myth Store,(Philippines) at around 5PM. The guy is likely a companion or bodyguard of a lady who transacted in the same store named Elizabeth XX.
Stolen iPad details are as follows:
     iPad-1 64Gb 3G (model A1337)
     Serial# V5******ETV
     IMEI
So if found or offered for sale, it's best reported or returned to its rightful owner.
- Thanks!

You need a Blackberry dataplan for your device. Otherwise, you will only be able to do Phone + SMS.
contact your carrier and ask them what they can sell you.
your carrier will give you a BIS account. Then, you can use any email address to connect to your BlackBerry device. You can get a BlackBerry email address but it has less features than a regular email address on GMail ot Yahoo!Mail or Hotmail.

2nd hand ipad not showing as associated device on itunes

Hi All,
I bought a 2nd hand Ipad a couple of weeks ago from a shop (all legit). As I'm pretty useless with all things tech they synced most of my pics/vids and music from my Iphone using their computer in-store. As my Iphone has more space than the I pad, I bought extra ICloud storage (not realising that this wouldn't create more space in the Ipad - told you I'm stupid when it comes to tech stuff!).
Anyway, after spending saving my pics,vids and music to an external hard drive via Itunes, I then synced my favourites to my Ipad to give me more space. I first noticed that there was a problem when trying to play some of my songs, it would say "this device is already associated an an apple I.d.. if you download past purchases with your id you cannot automatically download past purchases with a different id for 90 days".
Two issues with this.. The first being that the songs it is saying this for were NEVER purchased from Itunes - they were ripped from c.d's onto my Itunes library (and have always played ok on my Iphone and Ipod shuffle). Secondly, I have only ever had/used one apple i.d for my computer, Iphone, Ipod shuffle and now this Ipad. The Ipad has been fine using my apple i.d for everything else.. ie, apps, Itunes store and also buying extra i.cloud storage, so I'm not sure why it is viewing it as a different i.d?
After looking on my Itunes account I noticed that under "manage devices" it is only showing my Iphone and computer as an associated device (I'm not too bothered that it doesn't show my Ipod shuffle because I only sync my music occasionally on that). Is this because it's second hand, and if so what can I do about it? Although I bought this primarily so I can view my pics and home vids on a larger screen than my phone, I don't want to worry about losing music from Itunes if it's viewing my Ipad as belonging to someone else, or an authorised device etc. By the way, the shop I bought the Ipad from is legit, they ask for proof of ownership before buying anything - this Ipad was one someone received free as part of a phone upgrade before selling it so it can't be an issue with being blocked etc.
Thanks - any help and/or advice on how I can sort this out would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying Ralph,,
I just tried that - still no difference. Ipad not showing up as an associated device on itunes, and on my Ipad when I try to turn automatic downloads on it comes up with the same message.. already associated with an apple ID.. 90 days etc etc.
It makes no sense as the extra icloud storage (and the money they've taken from me to pay for it) has been done using this ipad, my usual apple id and payment details and has been synced to my itunes account (which is associated with my id and authorised). If you have any other ideas (or alternatively know which dept I should contact in Apple) I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks :-)

Become familiar with how it works. Then try out some of the features. Examine it for damage or dents. Is it still under warranty?

Without the previous owner's Apple ID and Password, you will not be able to activate the iPad.

Can not activate 2nd hand iPad on my Apple-ID / Previous user already erased device from list

Hey there,
Headline says a lot.
I bought a 2nd hand iPad 3.
During start it asked me for the Apple-ID of the previos user.
I contact him to tell how to erase it from his Apple-ID device list.
--> he did so
But it still does not work.
I allready reimaged it with iTunes.
--> Still the same:
This iPad is already used with Apple-ID...
Somebody has a glue?
Regards,
Kevin

I could not do that. But the previous user did.
The device (Serialnumber) is still linked to his Apple-ID, after:
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
He additionally has to remove this device from his list.
iTunes->Store->show Account--> Maintain devices --> remove device
But this was also done.
Now I am confused...

Can a 2nd hand iPad 2 be re-registered to my apple Id

I have recently bought a 2nd hand iPad 2 and I want to register it to my account but I do not no the previous owners details can it be re-registered to me thanks??

I understand they can remove it but they have not done so,
and I have no way of contacting them to get them to do so,
I now legitimately own this ipad and I have got the carrier unlocked and use it for work
I just want it to have it registered to me in my owned items along with my iPhones I case anything happens to them for insurance purposes proof of ownership and for my own personal records of apple products I own,
So I what I am asking is there a way for apple to de-register the previous owner and register It to me as clearly it is now my property.
So could you please let me know if it is at all possible and if so what I have to do to do it.
Thank you for all your help so far any other advice is greatly appreciated
Regards
Ryan

HT5625 how do I start a 2nd hand ipad

Have acquired a 2nd hand ipad which has been cleared. However when I try to start it all I get is "slide to begin set-up" - I select English and then there is nothing else - what am I doing wrong?

If you have a second-hand MacBook Pro, you're posting in the wrong forum; this is for Classic Mac OS users (system 7, 8 and 9).
Aside from that, why didn't you get the original discs with that MacBook Pro? The seller surely has them (or should have them), and they're obligated to provide everything that came with the computer to you if they sell it. If they lost them, then you'd need to contact Apple and give them your serial number for that MacBook Pro and pay a nominal fee for a replacement set of original discs. The same would apply for any other Macs you own wherre you don't have the original installation discs anymore.

Buying a second hand iPad 2. What should I look out for?

Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm buying a second hand unlocked Ipad 2 (It wasnt bought unlocked), Is there anything in particular i should be wary of before buying. I'm buying this from a friend so i have the chance to physically look at it before buying? Its over a year old so, but can i still get some kind of apple care?
Also i've read that iPads arent locked to specific networks? But my friend tells me he had to unlock it to use his GiffGaff simcard..
Thanks in Advance

I can't comment on the cellular. HOwever make sure that iPad isn't still linked to the original owner's apple ID or you'll buy a brick.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
explains what the activation lock is and if the original owner's Apple ID is still on there or they can't give it to you, then don't buy it. Because it can't be unlocked.

I buy a second hand ipad unopened and no receipt

I bought second hand ipad unopened and no receipt .I'm afraid it is a ipad bought the insurance。do we have any way to fix it

Try posting in your native language. It is difficult to understand what you are asking.
It sounds like you are saying you bought a stolen or new never used iPad and you are now worried that the owner will claim it. Or you bought a stolen/new never used iPad and it is broken and you have no insurance to pay for fixing it.

I restored my 2nd hand ipad 2, previous owner released my ipad from their account and I still can not activate it using my apple id and password. What do I have to do now? Please help!

I bought my ipad 2 from an acquintance. I updated my software to iOS7 and after that was when all this started. I got locked out because I was not using the right password. After that, I restored my ipad. After learning that the previous owner had to remove the ipad from their account, I contacted her and she did remove it. Now, when I get to the Activate screen, it will not take my ID and password. I've done all the steps necessary but can not get past this. I've read so many threads and other articles on restoring and having the previous owner remove it, I've done all of that, but what do I do now? Please help! Thank you.

The previous owner/user should have done this.

I'm thinking about buying a second hand ipad online. Is it stolen?

Hi!
I'm new to ipads, so perhaps I can get this answered here!
I am about to buy a 16gb ipad online. It is used, but has everything and is practically new. I'm always afraid of buying something that would turn out to be stolen. This only happens when I buy something online that's not in its original packaging, especially since every time I upgrade my gadgets, I sell them to Gazelle.
I'm curious if there is a resource to put the serial number into a database, and see if it was stolen from a store or something. It's probably ok, however I would rather be on the safe side before I have the police breaking down my door because I sold a 200$ ipad to gazelle a year from now.
Thanks!
Note: Sorry for the double edit. I am told it was never used, and is refurbished. I know you can register an ipad and track it. I'm afraid someone steals it from a store, then sells it online or something.

If I buy a second hand ipad with a wireless service, can I use it as a wifi only device?

For instance, let's say I find a great deal n a used ipad, but it's attached to AT&T, but I have no interest in getting an AT&T plan. Can it be used as a wifi only device?

Yes.
