HT4157 I just got an iPad 16GB+3G. When I try to set up a cellular data account (settings cellular data view account) it wants the login info and password,which I don't have because I have yet to set up the account. How do I get to a "set up account" scre

I have a new iPad2 16GB+3G. ( Only got this yesterday.)  I have set up a wireless router so am able to use WiFi at home. When I attempt to set up a cellular data connection (ATT) I get to the "view account" which asks for my login ID and password, which of course I do not have yet because I haven't set up an account yet. How do I get to a "set up account" screen?

I'm taking that this is a used iPad. Have you removed the microSIM and got one of your own?
Also, have you cleared it out with Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings?
And if that does not work you may need to contact the cell provider.

  • Startup asks for Username and Password - which we don't have

    Our iMac G4 hard disk has failed and we've re-installed the Mac OX 4 system into our external drive. After installation the startup process asks for a username and password. We have never had to use a username and password on this computer and have no way of accessing what they could be. This means we cannot go any further and have to either shutdown or restart the computer (which just takes us back to username and password again). How do we circumvent this username and password?

    It is presumably asking you to create a username and password so that it can make an admin account with them. There has to be at least one admin account: once you've got it up and running you can set it to auto-log in so that you don't need to enter the details every time you boot up. The previous installation must have had an admin account with a username and password, it's just that if it was set to auto-log-in you would only need it when installing new software. The new account doesn't have to have the same name as the old one, just invent something convenient: the username should be one word and lower-case.

  • Can't update apps.  I have reset my Apple ID to my new e mail address but when I try to download or update apps. my old, no longer functioning one, automatically comes up asking me for a password, which I don't know and can't have sent to that ID!

    I used to have my old work e mail address as my Apple ID but have now changed it to my new one, had all of the verification e mails and everything.  However, when I try to download or update my apps, my original ID comes up and I can't log in.  Can't remember my original passowrd and can't have a reminder sent to the original e mail as it no longer exists.....  help!

    Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

  • Tried downloading new version and it says I don't have permission to use some items ? how do I get around this

    that measn the whole program will not install.

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I just got new ipad 2. When I try to verify icloud, it asks me to check email, but that doesn't work.

    I have a new ipad2, and cannot verify icloud. i don't know if it has a wrong account name, or some setting is wrong.

    You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.

    This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My I Phone got an update and I have now lost my you tube, You tell me that I can down load you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    My I phone got an update and I have lost my you tube, You tell me that I can download you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    YouTube is no longer native in iOS.  There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend.  There is a YouTube app in the App Store.  Download it and you'll have YouTube.
    You can NOT get rid of Passbook.  It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS.  If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native.

    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

  • I changed my Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download apps because it wants my old ID and password which are no longer linked to ITunes.

    I Cash angled the Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download any apps because it wants my old ID and password. It does not recognise the change of ID.

    Have you tapped on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app - when you do that you should get a popup with options for 'View Apple ID',' Sign Out', 'iForgot' and 'Cancel'. Tap on the 'Sign Out' option and log out and then log back in

  • Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that?  How do I get access to that stuff?

    Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

    I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you?  We can't.  If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.
