Cannot activate iPad 3 I recently purchased second
hand. I need to have previous owners iCloud details, which I cannot get. Does anyone know if iPad can be activated?If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

i got the unlock code from at&t but i don't know how to input the code on the phone to unlock the iphone 4s
There is no "unlock code". If you legitimately unlocked your iPhone via ATT, you will get an email detaling the unlock process, which involves connecting to iTunes. Follow the directions in the email.
If you used one of those web sites that promise an magical "unlock code" you probably got scammed. -
Please note here that iPad is wifi only...and I have tried restoring it 3-5 times and still it's locked to the previous owners account
Actually the correct procedure to follow is detailed by Apple in the Support article linked above:
How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process. -
I rented a movie last night on my ipad but I am unable to download it on my ipad I have no space.. so I want to watch it on my laptop computer but do not know how to get the rented movie on it. I checked the itune store and they said I have it rented.. So I need help on what to do to download it on my computer so I can watch it any suggestions? Thanks.

Because rented movies from the iTunes Store are normally a one-time download per rental, and if that download was to an iOS device, they can't be transferred to any other device.
Does that hold in the other sense as well? A rental on the computer is non-transferrable to the iGadget? -

Go to Settings/iTunes and App Store/Apple ID, sign out, restart the iPod and sign in again with your Apple ID.

I think I have a flattener problem but not sure and I don't know how to fix the problem
I downloaded a new font (Lato) and stretched some of the type. It appears fine on the screen and print preview but is distorted on my printed copy. I have tried to convert all text to outlines and selected that preset in the pdf dialog box but this still hasn't solved the problem. I'm not sure if this is even the problem - I would really appreciate help! thanks so much!
Ok I found a site that has a free version of this font and Font Agent Pro found nothing wrong wit it so I loaded it. And I then opened it and saved it as a pdf and then printed it from Acrobat with no problems and looks fine in Acrobat and Illustrator.
I say the font is corrupt I downaoded the font from this address

Try replacing the fonts then try both Illustrator and Acrobat -
Having followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your device to itunes" and my computer displayed the message that the device has been restored, my phone is still saying its disabled and I should connect to itunes. What do I do now??
Put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If that still fails, you'll probably need to go to an Apple Store or call Apple Support for further assistance.

I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (ie 4) on my Apple laptop, but the fact that it is "unsuitable for (my version of) Mac Os " was not revealed to me until I had already replaced the previous version which was suitable. I don't know how to retrieve the version I was using.
The latest versions of Firefox require at least Mac OS X 10.5 and an Intel processor. You can revert to Firefox 3.6.xx for Mac 10.4 by downloading the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
More information in the [[Firefox will not start]] article, under

HT201441 I can not find the previous owner and ask them the Apple ID!
what van I do if can not find the previous owner???
If you have bought a second-hand iPhone and the previous owner has locked it, only he can unlock it as indicated in the Help page you came here from. If you cannot contact him you will be unable to use the phone; there is no way round this.

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!

If you can't contact the owner, there isn't anything you can do.

How to activate the option posting period for T.code F.2E
HI All,
When we execute T.code F.2E the selection parameters available are
1. company code
2. partner company code
3. open at key date
4. display currency.
As the program documentation says we can reconcilie by selecting option for posting period in F.2E
Below is the SAP documentation on the program.
You use the Posting period selection option to specify the time period in which the posting dates of the documents need to fall in order to be included by the program. Open items, cleared items, and payment documents are all selected. See the section Parameter Open for key date and Selection Option Posting period for further information. If you want to start the program with this date selection, the option must be selected accordingly.
But the field for posting period is not available in selection parmeter, we are on 4.7 EE version.
Please let me know how to activate the option for posting period in selection parameters for T.code F.2E
Thanks in advace.
Regards,
