I bought an iPod 5 on ebay, it's iCloud locked, how can I remove it from original owners Apple ID without the owners information?

I bought an iPod on eBay, without knowing that it was iCloud locked. I contacted the seller and he said he bought it iCloud locked, and did not know the original Apple ID or password. Is there a way I can remove the iPod from the original owners ID without the original owners information?

The only way is to have the AppleID and password of the ptrvious owner.
Without that information, it is totally worthless to you. think iPod shaped brick,
Return it to eBay and ask for a refund.

    If the pictures were synced from a computer to the iOS device then they are removed the same way.  Connect the device to the computer.  Tell iTunes what to sync and sync.

  • How can I remove Genius from my ipod playlists menu?

    After my 120GB Classic iPod died, I purchased a new 160GB Classic last week. Now I can't seem to get rid of the Genius playlist which appears at the top of my normal playlists on my new iPod. I don't use Genius and have it disabled in iTunes (via iTunes > Prefs > General > uncheck Genius AND Store > Turn off Genius). I don't understand why it appears in my new iPod. It never did on my old one. It is a bit of an annoyance because I used to click right through to my first playlist to play the music I like, and now I have to scroll 1 down, which is not always easy for me because I have a small handicap.
    old situation:
    click music > click playlists > click play = first playlist starts playing
    new situation
    click music > click playlists > Scroll 1 down (which is a hassle) > click play = first playlist starts playing
    I hope there is a way to remove Genius from my playlists in my iPod but I can't see how. If it is not possible it seems to me that this is an issue that needs to be fixed. Maybe a software update can give a solution.
    Apple, please consider this.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Genius Mixes are generated from random selections of your library.
    The Genius Playlist lets you select a specific song to be used as the basis for selecting "similar" songs that are supposed to play well together.
    If you don't want to use the feature, don't use it. Anything as complicated as an iPod is bound to have at least one feature you don't need or doesn't work the way you would want it to. Personally I'd fix grouping on Album Artist or the behavior of iTunes U before worrying about an item I don't need in the menus.

    I know darn well what Genius Mixes are, and I've chosen to turn them off because I don't like the concept or in this specific case the execution.  There are plenty of other features in the iPod I don't use, but none of them get in the way.
    Personally, this is my 9th or 10th iPod purchase, going all the way back to a gen2 (before the iTunes store when I had to rip my 1,000 CDs to have any music in iTunes) that saw three battery replacements (yes, I've been inside the case).  Five of the iPods before this one are still working.   I know how to use iTunes and the iPods.
    The issue here is simply that the setting to turn off Genius Mixes does not turn off Genius.   It still appears in the Playlist queue -- and most annoyingly in the first Playlist slot.  Genius is turned off on all my iTunes instances, and all my iPods.
    When you turn off a feature, the feature should be turned off.   If that isn't the result, that is a bug.  Quite simple.

  • How can I remove movies from my iPod nano (7th generation)?

    Hi! I just got one of these for Christmas. I put a movie (Nirvana, Live At Reading) in it, but I decided that I don't want it due to the amount of memory it takes up and the poor sound quality. I tried doing two methods that I read from another dicussion which were to go into the "Movies" tab on my iPod in iTunes and deleting thme from the iPod. I read that I'm supposed to uncheck the movies I don't want and click "Sync." I can't do this because all the movies are grayed out. Method two was to actually delete the movies from iTunes completely. I did that, but the movies are still in my iPod. Something to note might be that while the movies ARE NOT being shown as being in my iPod in iTunes, it says the are in the memory bar on the bottom of the page. And according to iTunes, there are five movies in my iPod, they're the six I actually want, but there's an extra three that I did put in, and a copy of one that's already in there. Sorry if this is confusing. I'll post a screenshot. Thank you in advance!
    P.S. The only videos in my iPod are labeled "Movies" by both the iPod itself and iTunes.

    "Is it possible to delete content without a computer."
    Nope! You can only do that with the _videos you have recorded._

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

    AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
    if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup.

  • I bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

    i bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

    Connect the iPod Nano to your own iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.  This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware onto the device.

    How can I transfer music from my ipod classic 60GB to my iPhone 4 music library, just by song or whole CD that I have bought? Help needed!

    load the current version of I tunes on the laptop and sync the pod.  Then sync the phone - you can select all or as much of the music you want to.
    Also - if the music on the pod was purchased from the itune store in the first place, you should be able to redownload it to the phone for free, as long as you are using the same apple id that it was bought with.

    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

    If you're getting the "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application" error, it likely means that you may have tried to download the 64bit iTunes Setup exe (application).  You mentioned you couldn't download because you have dialup, However, even with dialup you should be able to download iTunes.  You can go to the following apple site and scroll down and click on the Windows 32 bit version of iTunes.  On dialup it will take a while to download, but it can be done.  See if this helps.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it
