I bought a used Ipad1 online and it came locked. What can I do to access it?

I bought a used Ipad1 from an online pawnstore. It came locked from the previous owner. I contacted the store and they said I should be able to restore it to default by connecting it to my computer but my Itunes won't allow access to the device because it's locked. What else can I do to access it? Obviously since whatever apps and photos and things on there aren't mine so I am fine with a system restore but how?

I do have the latest version of Itunes downloaded and when I connect the Ipad via USB it brings up Itunes and I get the message "Itunes could not connect to Ipad "Racis Ipad" because it is locked with a passcode. You must first enter the passcode on the Ipad before it can be used with Itunes"
So it doesn't show up on the device list

Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
Contact the UK carrier.

File a complaint with eBay to get a refund on the useless iPhone.

I bought a used iphone 4 and it is locked. When I try to recover it shows code 1671. What does the code mean?

How do I do factory reset on an iphone 4? I bought it used and it has a password and when I tried to reset the phone it shows error code 1671. What does that code mean? Thanks

Hello tresacg,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the previous owner has enabled a password on it. The first thing you can try is in this article:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

The best thing you can do is turn the phone over to your local law enforcement as a lost/found device.

I bought the photoshop install online and I put it on my laptop. But now I have a new and better computer for photo and video but I can not figure out how to reinstall my photoshop on this new computer. When I bought it, they said I would be able to install it on 2 different computers. PS they are both PC computers.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

See this previous discussion.

Bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

You can bypass the password and wipe the drive and return to the original facory installation if the seller included the orginal install DVDs with the Mac mini. If not you will need a retail version of Mac OS X. To boot from the Install DVD restart the mini, immediately slip in the DVD and press and hold the C key.

I am new to Mac. I own an iphone and an ipad but have always used a PC for my business use. I bought a used Powerbook G4 and all is well EXCEPT I cannot get a program to download from a CD. I think it's an easy fix so HELP!

A few questions ....
What is the program you are trying to download? It is a mac version?
Is this a vendor's CD or a copy or ?
What error message or other indication do you get that says the download won't happen?

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL? major problem is that my current motorola phone is issued to me from my employer but phone ***** so i want to upgrade to the ipone i purchased but it still needs to work like my company phone as they pay the bill. help me pls

A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US. The SIM is used only when not in the US.
To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account.

I bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?

i bought windows 7 download online and started setting up boot camp but it says to insert the windows 7 disk so how do i do this?
plz help me

Hi Jaimie,
To install Windows via Boot Camp you will need to have a copy of Windows on a physical dvd disc.
If your purchase provides you with an ".ISO" file then you can simply burn this to a DVD and then follow the standard Boot Camp installation instructions.
Boot Camp instructions: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
If you get stuck, just let me know the website you purchased Windows 7 from and I might be able to help you out.
Cheers

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.

ikeep getting a message that my start up disc is full and i don't know how to free up space.. also when i o to download some files i am told there is no space left to download i bought this macbook pro used an receiver no discs.. what can i do??

You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
Good luck,

ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify

Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.
