There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

Plz i bought ipad from some one and i cant activate it
i bought ipad from some one as a used one and i discover that ipad was stolen from some one and now he in acuntry and i in another one and i cant acivate it
There is nothing that you can do to activate the iPad. The original owner has to erase the iPad for you before you can activate it.
You should notify the authorities if you know that the iPad was stolen, but if you are in different countries, I'm not sure what you can do about it now. Most likely you can't do anything about it. You are stuck with an unusable, worthless iPad. -
I bought an iphone 5 from one of my friends and unluckily I had yet lost his contact, I had update this iphone to IOs 7 and now it's be locked at iCloud because there was no password . Actually I dont know what I must do for its. Experts, please help me!
The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround. -

When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.
Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

Hey Megan,
If you are getting the Red X on your iPod nano, check out the following article. Of it does not work check out the second section in the article.

I cannot sync HD films purchased on iTunes (on my PC) to my iPad even though it is a shared account. No problem syncing to iPod Classic from PC.
Also there is no 'Film/Video' tag on the drop down menu on the iPad only Music and TV Programs.
Also can't view 'purchased films' on iTunes via iPad.
All Phtos,Music and Video etc is 'Manualy Sync' selected.
Is this all related, please help?Most of my library consists of h.264 videos wrapped in the m4v format, which my converters (Handbrake & mkvtools) says is the Apple TV format. Today I tried coverting a few to mp4 (for iPad) instead, so that I can watch them on multiple devices, but I'm running into the same problem with those that you are.
I tried resetting my ATV as the other responder suggested, but that hasn't helped. I'm still unable to watch h.264 mp4 files, while h.264 m4v's are fine. -
Please help
Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

I really need help
If it's asking for a screenlock passcode, just restore the iPod:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If, however, it's asking for an Apple ID and password to activate the iPod, then you will need to get that information from the person from whom you got the iPod or get them to remove it from their iCloud account. Otherwise there will be no way for you to activate the iPod and it is now useless.

Hi! My friend offer me a iphone 4s upgraded to ios7. The phone need and icloud account. and my friend didn't remember his email address and password. How can i bypass this. Please help.
Sorry, there's no way around Activation Lock. So, give the phone back to your "friend", as you will never be able to use it.

im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active.., and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??
this says it all..Welcome to the Apple Community.
Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive. -

Did you enable PhotoStream before iPad was wipe?
I think this would be a great idea to safe guard your photos in the future -
I bought an apple iphone4 from a friend and they had lost and dont remember the apple id nor password can some tell me how to reset the phone and or both
It is not possible. You have hit Activation Lock, an anti theft measure. The last owner is the only one who can unlock it with their Apple ID. Tell them to go here
