I bought an iPad from US, and i inserted a Greek SIM (it had a Verizon one), but i cannot activate the SIM.
Hi, a friend of mine bought a 32GB+Cellular iPad for me from Georgetown (US) Apple store. He clearly mentioned that the iPad is to be used in Greece. But when i insert a greek SIM i get a notification No Service on the upper left corner, and i do not seem to be able to connect. Any ideas ?

The Verizon network uses CDMA and is not compatible with most of the rest of the world. A Verizon iPad has CDMA hardware. You need the AT&T version of the iPad which has GSM hardware.
For older iPads this is true but for iPad version 3 and newer this is not true. Newer iPads, regardless of whether or not they work on CDMA networks have a GSM slot for GSM sim cards.

i bought my ipad from ksa and am from egypt .. my ipad connected to the itunes in ksa but from someone else laptop and i came here to egypt and it says itunes could not connect to this ipad becuz an unknown error :S what should i do please someone tell me !!?
Your iPad is syncd with iTunes on your computer and your iTunes account controls what's in your iPad. Previously it must have been sync'd with another person's iTunes account in which case you need to completely clear it out to make it your own.
Go to Settings > General > Reset (at bottom) > Erase All Content and Settings
Then plug it into your computer and restore it with YOUR iTunes account.
Or if your have an iTunes account already setup under your name with your own apps and media -
Plug it into your computer, open iTunes if it doesn't open automatically and on your iPad page, click Restore
Let it proceed. Then the iPad will no longer be looking for someone else's account. -
I just a ipad from someone and it's still under someone else's account
What you have encountered is a security feature called activation lock. An iPad running iOS 7 cannot be reset to a new user without the previous owner releasing the device by turning off Find My iPhone or entering their Apple ID and password.
The best thing you can do is to try an contact the person you bought the iPad from and get a refund. Chances are the iPad was stolen. -
I purchased an ipad from someone and i set up my apple id for it but when i go to the app Store to update apps, i click on the update button for an app, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine? It doesn't give me an option... Help! Please!

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh. -
Each time I try to sign in to face time I receive a msg stating that the user name or password are incorrect, I visit the local agent and the told me we can not do help you , they think there's an problem with the iPad as I bought it from USA

How can i remove apple accont in used ipad?
If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPad for a refund if you can.

Hi,
I have a problem with itunes.l have registered it but l still can not use. When l click on itunes l have got podcasts,itunes u,downloads on the bottom of the page.l can not see any musics or anything. I ve bought it from uk and used my turkish credit card. Is it because turkish credit card? Pls l need helpThe content owners do not allow the iTunes Store to sell across country borders, so you must have a credit card and residence in the country whose iTunes Store you wish to use. Since you live in Turkey and have a Turkish credit card, that's the only iTunes Store you can use, and as has been pointed out, Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell music, movies and shows there. That's the nature of the entertainment business at this time, where the rights in each country are held by separate entities and hence require completely separate negotiations.
Sorry, but there's nothing you can so about this. You'll need to see if there are download stores in Turkey available to you, and if not you'll need to purchase CDs, DVDs, etc.

I have download Photoshop and illustrator so far but when I open them they ask me the serial number! I cannot find it and I do not posses the redemption code or anything like that! What should i do?
Help me I am very confused..YES!!! Now it works!! Great, do I have to register the product or it is just fine? (I mean each time I download a software from the pack it works automatically or I have to do something?). Great great great! Thank you!
One more question, I have Maveric and Windows on the same machine, it is count as one or two? I have now installed photoshop and illustrator on both, is it correct?
Thank you very much!
edit: one more thing, during the "operations to sole the previus issues" I have installed photoshop and illustrator in italian, and flash in english. This works perfectly fine for me BUT when I open cc to download others programs I see on the downloaded app only flash, is because the setting are in english? how can I update eventually phtoshop and illustrator in the future? do I have to change back to Italian? -
when i open maps or any other location services based application it says "cannot determine your location". but when i was in malaysia it worked perfectly.it will be great if somebody help me to correct this.
It seems like you are using a Wi-Fi model. For location services to work, you would need to be connected to the internet.

Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility. -

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

So I bought an ipad from a friend's friend that was leaving to his home country but the ipad is linked to his account and I can't reach him to ask for the information that the ipad is asking so I was wondering if there is a way that I can reset the ipad without me having to enter his apple id and password.
No, there is not.
That person will have to release the iPad from Find My iPad or you will not be able to use it.

I recently bought an iPad from a pawnshop and when I go to set it up it keeps asking me to sign in with a previous owners ID and password. How can I bypass this, as the person is no longer reachable to get the password from. Please tell me this isn't a paperweight now?!
Without their password you have a brick. You should take it back to the shop, who shouldn't have sold it to you in this condition.

MMy wife had bought an iPad from a friend. My wife already has an iPhone, which is registered to iCloud. She cannot acces iCloud from the new iPad. It says her username and password is not authorised. What do we need to do.
This could be a couple different things.
The device is not authorized to the Apple ID.
Continue setup for the ID on the device.
There is an account issue
Is she able to get signed in at
Appleid.apple.com
and manage the account
Can she get signed in at
Supportprofile.apple.com ?
How many devices are registered to that Apple ID?
