I bought a Use IPad and need to  change my  ID

Hello, I need help I have bought an used IPad' 3 @and need to change the old Apple ID to my own ID.   Please help me

Yes you can as long as the previous owner erased the iPad according to these instructions. If the previous owner didn't do this, contact him or her and ask for their help. If the last owner cannot be reached or will not cooperate, you will eventually run into problems that you will not be able to resolve and you will have a useless brick on your hands.

  • 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've bought an used iPad and i want to transfer the registration

    Hi,
    I've bought an used iPad and i'd like to transfer the registration of the product from his profile to mine.
    What should we do?

    You can try but I'm not certain if you can re register a previously registered device. The warranty only extends from the original date of purchase.

  • I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.

    Hi Everyone
    Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
    I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??

    Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
    If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
    It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
    If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties.

  • I bought a used iPad,and I can't download apps due to old owners apple Id.how do I remove old so mine is primary?

    I bought used iPad 2.i cannot download
    Apps from store because old owners apple I. D is still there. How do I remove and replace with mine?

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Stores if it's not on iOS 6). You can then remove all of the previous owner's content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings - their content will be tied to their id, so only their id will be able to download updates to those apps.
    You can then log in to your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores

  • I bought a used ipad and want to delete the old network that wi-fi used

    I just purchased a used ipad2 and I want to delete the previous owner's network suggestion.  Also, how do I set up wi-fi and connect to the internet.

    Go to Settings on the iPad, be on the General tab, and then go to the bottom where it says "Reset".
    I recommend to Erase All Content and Settings, seeing as it's a used iPAd. Once that is completed, if it comes up to a screen telling you to plug the device into iTunes, follow that instruction. If it doesn't and you are already on iOS 5,  you're set to go and it will guide you through the stesp to enjoy your iPad.
    If it doesn't have iOS 5, plug it into your computer and open up iTunes after Erasing All Content and Settings, and follow the steps shown on your computer. If no steps show, go to the left hand side of the program and click 'iPad' and follow the steps. If no steps are given, click 'Check for Updates' if it didn't prompt you already to update your iPad.

  • Please help. when i plug in my Ipad to Itunes it says cannot use IPad and need 11.1 Itunes version. I thought I had updated Itunes to latest .

    I have had my Ipad for about a year and regualrly transfer pictures from my pc to Ipad using ITunes. for some reason when i have tried to do this again the computer comes up with message that I cannot use my IPad as it needs 11.1 version. I have downloaded latest version of Itunes. Pease help as I am pretty hopeless with IT. Thanks

    It sounds like you still have to update it.
    It's very easy to do. If you have OSX iTunes, go to iTunes>Check for Updates. If you have Windows, go to Help>Check for Updates

  • I bought a used ipad and i cant find the old owner to get the login and password

    help

    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. No 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 bought a used IPAD and cannot get serial number to register to put it in ICLOUD, I bought a used IPAD and cannot get serial number to register to put it in ICLOUD

    If you have an idea please let me know

    You do not need a serial number to use it or to use iCloud.
    You do however need the previous owners AppleID password to disable iOS 7 Activation Lock which is tied to their iCloud account.  If you cannot get in touch with the previous owner to disable Activation Lock, then you will never be able to activate and use that iPad.

    Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)
