I bought a ipad2 in a feal shop was working I went to setup because I having network problems with wifi I went to reset did a network reset when it did a reboot it's asking me for a Apple ID and password to activate how can I fix that

Hi if you can help can I get fix to work or do I have to buy a new one I bought used at flea shop for $50.00 dollares.

There is no way to bypass the activation lock without the Apple ID and password used to set it up. It is useless to you. You will need to buy one from an authorized source.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

    you have to restore to ios 6 and then sign in with your own apple id,
    any apps etc on the iphone now, will not be able to be backed up and used in the future as they are not linked to your apple ID. and if you plan on using the previous owners ID then you need there [*** which I assume you dont have.
    simply just restore using itunes then setup as new with all your details and your done, you can go to the appstore and start getting your own apps

  • I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?

    I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?

    Are you signed into this old ID ("email") in System Preferences>iCloud, System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars), or in Mail>Accounts, Calendar>Accounts or Contacts>Accounts?

  • Why have I been sent an email asking me for my Apple ID and Password. How can I check that this is not a scam.

    I want to know why I have been sent an email from Apple to verify my account by asking for my Apple ID and password.
    how do I know this is genuine and is there a way to check that this is not a scam

    I would be very careful about email asking for your Apple ID and password. These are some of the Official Apple email addresses that would contact you:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    These email are not to be replied to at all and if the email you receive asks you to reply or has a link that doesn't go the Apple.com or iCloud.com domains, then they are definitely fake.

  • Why does it keep asking me for my apple id and password? pops up all the time

    pops up all the time..please make it stop

    @Diavonex and Noble Seven ... Marbles19 has 2 posts going about this same issue, I already suggested rebooting which worked temporarily and also suggested signing of the account.
    That discussion is here.

  • My iPhone won't back up to iCloud it says backup failed after I increased my storage plan. How can I fix that and which email can I sen to if I want to refund the storage I bought on iCloud. It says I have 15 days to return.

    Which email should I send to for a refund on iCloud storage within 15 day period. Also the iPhone won't back up to iCloud it keeps saying backup failed even when I log out of iCloud and log back in how can I fix that?

    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • The last apple ID used on my App Store is stuck how do I change back to my apple ID? I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, help?

    help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

  • Itunes keeps asking me for a user name and password when I first open it.

    I do not allow apple to access my library or my hard drive because you guys are predators, and I have NO interest in using the app store.  I have disabled access to the store, so i do not know why it keeps asking me for a user name and password.  You have NO right to see the music THAT I PURCHASED a loooooooooong time ago.  It is my license. I should be able to play it whenever and wherever I like...and NO, I do not burn and copy my music.  I just want to play it on MY MACHINES. So, I do not need your useless snooping, which is probably the reason you want me to log in.  Who do you think you are? You didn't write the songs.  You just sell licenses. Period.  And I purchased mine, thank you.  I no longer use your store for these reasons.  I use Amazon.

    Not control-R. Command-R. Shut the computer down. Reboot it. Hold down cmd-R when you hear the chime. Keep it held down and you should see the Lion recovery partition.

  • I reinstalled my mac os x, and anytime i try to update my software its asking me for an administrators name and password, i enter it and it comes back wrong, and that is the only one i have, i have been to keychain but it does not make any sense to me,

    i have just reinstalled my mac os x, in fact yesterday, i have not been able to update my software or change anything at all, i try to do a software update and it is asking me for an administrators username and password that was not happening before, i enter the username and password i created and it comes back wrong, its driving me nuts, been to keychain but unable to figure it out, its asking for a system unlock and i have no clue what that is.
    am desperate.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c or option key down, select the disk to boot from.
    In the installer menu is a Utiltiies menu and a password reset.
    If you don't remmember the name, reboot the computer holding the command and s keys down
    a black screen with white type appears, when it's finished, dbackspace any extra ssss you have made and then type
    ls /Users
    (that's Larry, Sam, space, slash, Users)
    and press return, a list of user names on the machine appears
    type exit and reboot and use the 10.6 disk to reset your password

  • IPhone asked me for the APPLE ID and pass

    Hello friends, I bought a week ago iPhone 5S IMEI 013884000163883 broken on eBay
    a Nice woman named Kate Benjamine sold her grandmother's iPhone after she died
    I replaced battery and screen and it powers on after restore on iTunes
    At the end of restore the iPhone asked me for the APPLE ID and pass
    I contacted the seller and she tried to give me all sorts of names and passwords of her grandmother
    For two days she gave me a lot of emails and passwords
    She really spent a lot of time to help me
    Question family and what not
    She tried to reset password on Apple's site
    But she was missing data
    Now she asks what else to do
    And I'm with her
    She told me she wanted to help
    Even in the face of Apple's representative
    Please help in

    You can't do anything, it's up to the person that sold it to you. You might pass on the following advice to the nice lady...
    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself.

  • When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

    When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.  I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name.  WIERD???

    There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

  • I can't access my email.  I have joined iCloud.  The phone asks for my Apple ID and Password.  I put them in to be told the account already exists, but that's as far as I get.  What do I do?

    I can't access my email.  I have joined iCloud.  When I press mail I get a series of providers.  I click iCloud.  It asks for my Apple id and password.  I provide these to be told this account already exists and I can get no further.  What am I doing wrong?

    Sorry everyone - I have solved my own question - needed to go through Hotmail account of course.
