Either get the original owner to figure it out, or return it for a refund.

    If it's activation locked, you can't; go back to the shop and ask for a refund.

  • I bought a used ipad on ebay and the icloud acct is still linked to the old owner who doesn't remember the acct information. How can I set up my apple id on the iPad.

    You will need the previous owner's Apple ID and Password to:
    1. Turn off Find My iPhone
    2. Erase device
    3. Reactivate device

  • I bought a used iPad 2 and now it is unusable because it keeps prompting me to sign in to iCloud with the original owners ID and I can not locate him, what can I do?

    I bought a used iPad 2 and it has started prompting me to sign into iCloud, however, I do not have the original owners password. How can I reset it

    You can't. You may have purchased a stolen iPad. Where did you buy it? If on eBay, you can get a refund.

  • I've bought an used ipad, can i change the proprietary from the old one to my name??

    I mean i've bought and used ipad 2 from a guy in ebay, so, i want to change the propietary of the ipad to me, cause when i try to register the used ipad to my account it says that i cant cause it has been already registred with another apple Id.

    My seller on e-bay was forced to FINALLY give me his Apple ID and Password (also answers to security questions to finally re-set all of Apple's security stuff on their website) when I got my wife a used iPad 2 for her business this Christmas. Not a good resolution. However, you ABSOLUTELY cannot re-set an iPad 2, using OS 7 (or presumably later updates), because of the security features found in the OS, simply by following the steps outlined on this thread at http://supportprofile.apple.com and https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do. My seller followed those instructions to the letter and also did: un-link/sync the device from his iTunes program on his computer, delete it from his Apple ID and re-set the iPad through general preferences on the device before he mailed it to me. All suggestions made here or on other Apple Community threads. When I got it last week, it was a brick which still demanded his old Apple ID and password regardless as to what we did. So, the solution, in my opinion, (since most sellers are not going to be comfortable with giving up their info) is for the Seller, before he delivers it to a buyer, to: [1] perform the 3 steps I referenced above; [2] using his existing Apple ID, password and security questions, set-up a new account at Apple with a new name (John Doe) email address and password which CAN be shared with the buyer. Something simple like getting a yahoo or gmail address, logging into the iPad's old account and changing everything to this new email address, a mutually-agreed upon password and at least 2 security questions/answers; [3] BEFORE mailing the iPad, go into "general" preferences and change everything to John Doe instead of the old seller's name; [4] Once the buyer gets it, they will have to change everything into their name with their own account settings, preferences, etc. And, if it's true that Apple will make them wait 90 days to do another re-set, all one can say is "Thank you Apple" for making a used market for your devices as difficult as possible.

  • 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.

  • Bought a used 4S from a business, employee has it locked???

    I bought a used 4s from a home health agency that has since switched the employees to tablets. The employee they have issued this phone to had activated the "Find My Phone" feature on this phone and has since forgotten the password for her Icloud acct. (Was not a disgruntled employee, she is out for medical reasons and was trying to help resolve this also.)
    The office manager is trying to work with ATT to provide info to Apple to prove they are the original purchasers of the phone to get it unlocked for me. I have called Apple and have just been told to forward the purchase info when I receive it.
    Is there any advice on what the office manager or myself can do to move this process along? It has been over a week and I would really like to straighten this all out. Thanks!

    As far as I know Apple will not work with you personally if that problem arises again even if you do have proof of purchase, cause you were not original purchaser. Office manager however is representative of the company - original purchaser. Once he obtains original receipt, he can make a scan or copy of that receipt and call Apple. They will ask him to upload that receipt using either company or his own apple id. Once proof of purchase is uploaded it usually takes them couple days to respond to his email with decision. If they unlock it - you may have to factory restore the ipad itself. Once it is done if you do not want to deal with that anymore, make sure you always remember your apple id and password. My information may be outdated, cause Apple updates their policies periodically.

  • 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.

    Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
    Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

  • 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.

  • So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8.  I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer.  What do I do?

    So I just bought a used MacBook from Amazon with OSX 10.5.8.  I am trying to install new software and operating system, but I don't have the passwords to the Users set up in the computer.  What do I do?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

  • I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.

    I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.

    Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
    Have your friend the provided the phone contact them.  Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.
