i buy a ipad air i wanted to reset it but i dont have apple id of it plus i dont have any access to previous owner?

If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
When posting here you may have to wait some time for an answer: the people who post here are users just like you and they post when they can. I happened to see your post quite quickly but that's pure chance - it might take some hours to get an answer.

  • If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

    If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
    E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
    Thanks!

    Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it.  Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

  • Want to buy an ipad air. any thoughts?

    want to buy an ipad air. Any thoughts?

    I upgraded from a iPad 4 to an iPad Air, and in all honesty, there isn't a great difference except the weight-loss. The Air is much more comfortable to hold because of its lighter design, and the reduced bezel in someways improves the grip, as it is more ergonomically designed compared to the previous generation iPads. Performance wise, I didn't notice a great improvement but for someone going from a iPad 2 to a Air, they will notice a vast improvement. Compared to a iPad 4, applications load up a little but quicker and iOS 7 feels bore utilized and responsive. But one key feature is the 64bit architecture which hasn't really been fully taken control of by app developers, I'm sure there are developers producing an update to embrace it, but the only developer I know of who uses it is Apple. The iPad Air isn't the greatest tablet in my opinion, there are many more tablets that have more PC-like features such as USB's. But the iPad Air is a pretty good competitor because of its specs, design and reliability... Until you drop it.

    I'm a university student .

    They can both read PDFs. It will really boil down to what screen size you prefer and how portable you want it. The iPad Air has a larger screen, but weighs more than the iPad Mini2. Either one will work for you, its just a matter of preference.
    Hope this helps!

    I can't recommend anything less than 32 GB.    Once you have it, you will find other uses for the iPad and fill up the storage very easily.
    If you are trying to keep cost low, I suggest the iPad mini. (I can't recommend the iPad Air - lack of quality control)
    Wifi only is fine, I hardly ever use anything else.
    What quality control issue are you referring to with iPad Air?  I know lot's of people, myself included who have the Air and there is nothing wrong with them.

  • Can I buy a IPad Air wifi and cellular in Thailand and use the full options in the Netherlands?

    Dear all,
    I was wondering if i can buy i ipad air in Thailand and use the full options also in the Netherlands. At the moment I am in Thailand for 5 months. After those 5 months i will return back to the netherlands and want to use a dutch sim card for internet access? Is that possible?
    Do some people have the experience with tis, and do you recomend me to buy the product over here?
    Thank you in advance,
    Marco

    At least with the Apple Stores in Southern California and in the Los Angeles area, only the lower-end standard models listed on the Apple web site are in stock. Ones with upgrades to the processor and RAM -- and also to storage -- need to be custom ordered either via the web site or through the toll free Apple phone number. They will build the new Mac to the exact specifications that you request right at the factory and then ship it to any store that you specify, and they can also give you a very good estimate for the day it will arrive at the specified store.
    I recently did this for a 13-inch Macbook Air, where we ordered the fastest processor, the max memory (8 GB), and the most internal storage (512 GB). It arrived at the Apple Store about 5 days after the order was placed.

    Is the Apple ID you're trying to get past yours and you just don't remember the password? If so, start here:

    If you bought the iPad used and you don't have the previous owner's credentials, you'll need to contact them to have them remove the device from their account.

    I agree with Ralph. It all depends on what you're comfortable reading on.
    Most retailers have demo devices, go to a store and play with them and see which one works best for you

  • Is possible buy the IPAD air open to any celular companies?

    is possible buy the IPAD air open to any celular companies?

    There are still different cellular systems.  You should purchase an iPad with cellular for the carrier you plan on using.  You can purchase with cellular, but not activate the option and use wifi alone.
