HT204053 i bought an used ipad and need to delete the former owner's apple id how and use mine?

I bought a used iPad1 that has the former user's apple id. I have an apple id myself that i can use to purchase apps, etc.
1. However, do i need to reset the device to use my ID? I've made purchases from my laptop and need to sync them to the ipad.
2. My latop is authorized and all the connectivity tests etc are ok. I get the message do I want to erase my library when i sync. there was music that i like on the device when i got it. I don't want to lose it by saying yes to deleting it. Oh yeah i don't think this music is in the itunes on the ipad. what can i do?
Can't you see i don't know where to go, help me please!

You should log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you should then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to put it back to factory settings (which the previous owner should have done) - you can then sync your own content to it.

I bought an ipad2 for my wife's birthday. When she trys to update an app, she is asked for the former owner's password. How do I fix this?

I bought an ipad2 from a private individual for my wife's birthday. When she tries to update an app, she is asked for the former owner's password, which we do not have. How can I fix this so it asks for her apple password?

If the app was bought with the formers owners Apple ID, you cannot update the app with her ID. Apps belong to the ID that was used to purchase them. The former owner should have erased the iPad before he sold it to you and his ID would not be popping up.
If these were apps that your wife bought, then her ID would be popping up, unless I am missing something.

I just bought a new iPad and I want to bring over all my apps from my first iPad but I don't have a computer, do I just use the cloud?

I just bought a new iPad and I want to bring over all my apps from my first iPad but I don't have a computer, do I just set up an icloud account and upload all the things from my first iPad and then connect the new iPad to the icloud using the same account and sync it?

No. You configure your new one to use the same Apple ID. Then re-download from iTunes:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT204266 I just bought a 2nd ipad and wanted to download books purchased with my first ipad. Can I "sinc" them somehow so I don't get charged twice?

I just bought a 2nd ipad and want to download books purchased with my first ipad without being "double charged". Is there a way to do this?

If you are syncing with a computer and transferring your purchases there you can sync the 2nd iPad with the computer and transfer all of them (quickest method). If you are using the same Apple ID on the 2nd iPad you can download them again without being charged.

I bought a Used iPad. How I can sign in in Apple. always the user name of the former owner appears

I bought a Used iPad. How I can sign in in Apple. always the user name of the former owner appears

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID that is showing and sign out. Sign in with your own ID.
Why the previous owner did not remove his information is a mystery.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

Did you already activate iCloud on your iPad, Settings > iCloud.
Then on your computer you can go to https://www.icloud.com/

I bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only document showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

A Verizon corporate store can provide you with a nano SIM and activate it for you. Corporate stores do not charge for SIMS. I don't know what a reseller might or might not do.

Yes, iPad and Mac programs aren't the same even when they have the same name.

I am creating a request for proposal form and I need to add a commission structure field. I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.
