Hello AllenLJohnson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you have an iPad which is locked by an Apple ID. This is a security feature called Activation Lock, of which you can learn about in the article linked to below.

Have a good one,

HT4208 Just gave my old ipad to Mother N Law. How do I get her up to speed? I heard there are some classes she can take. How do I make a reservation?

They have Discover your iPad workshops at the Apple Store. Is there one near her?

My Mother-in-law just informed me she tried to buy me the new iPad 3 as my Birthday gift, but since she is in australia they wouldn't accept her credit card.

Soooo..

I had been waiting to purchase an iPad 2 for nearly 6 months...then just as I was ready, my wife tells me not to about a month ago. So here I wait again. I need it for a specific school I am to attend in a few weeks and with this rather **** poor hiccup, now I might be in a bad spot with the school.
Why on earth is my Mother-in-law (whom is a saint by the way....yeah I lucked out...I got an Angel for a mother in law) that does nothing but do things out of the kindness of her heart...why is her money not any good at the Apple store?

Your sainted mother-in-law will need to send you them money to buy it.
Best of luck.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies. One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage. I have done a hard restart. I have deleted some junk from "memory". I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space. Is there a trash can that I need to empty? Are my movies still stored but inaccessible? I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad. Not sure what else to try.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

i have an ipad 2 when i open anything that i downloaded such as games or applications it doesnt open i dont know why i tried to turn it off and turn it on again but the same problem any help plz?

If it's just the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store that you are having problems with, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

I just set my iPad to factory setting and I lost all my photos and I didn't have backup on I cloud , is there any way to get it back?

If you did not backup your iPad, your photos are gone forever.

HT1689 I have given my iPad and iPhone to my wife, she has synchronized with her Apple ID but it keeps going back to my Apple ID when she tries to purchase something in iTunes. Do I need to deregister the device and register it in her Apple ID?

I have given my iPad and iPhone to my wife, she has synchronized with her Apple ID but it keeps going back to my Apple ID when she tries to purchase something in iTunes. Do I need to deregister the device and register it in her Apple ID?

What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tabs in the App Store apps on the two devices ? If they still show your account id then try tapping on the id and log out of it and your wife can then try logging in with her account.
Any content that is already on them that was downloaded by your account will remain tied to your account, so only your account will be able to download updates to your apps.

I have comcast as my email and my wife has uses the account with her own email address. I have my address book and she has hers. My problem is that my address book comes up on her ipad even when she's signed in to her account.

I have Comcast as my IP. My wife also uses my account with her own email address. I have my address book and she has hers. My problem is on her ipad, my address book comes up with her account. Any ideas on how I can get her address book on her account?

It sounds like you're both syncing with the same computer log-in so the sync mechanism thinks that you're one person. You need to set up separate computer log-ins so that you have separate iTunes operation.

HT5621 My daughter was 9 when she got her iPod nano and I created an Apple ID with my details. I now have an iPad and iPhone and she has an iPhone too, how do I change it so that she has her own ID without her loosing all her music.

HT5654 Tried to restore my ipod to factory setting and now it erased everything and says their is an error (1) and the apple logo is stuck on the ipod. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED!!!! Would have never done this if I knew this was going to happen! itunes is upda

Tried to restore my ipod I just wanted to back to factory setting and delete everything on it. I did it and NOW everything is erased, gone, and stuck on the apple logo. Populated that it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Clicked on restored and error (1) came up. So now I have a useless iPod that I purchased. Big apple user minus my laptop. 2 iPod, 2 iShuffles, iPad, 4 iPhones, iMac 27 inch. If this isn't rectified I will never buy and continue to push my consumers, family, and friends on my bad experience with apple. iTunes is up to date and now I am concerned that if do anything to my phone this same problem will happen.

Hello, Marc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Error 1 or -1 can be very tricky to resolve and sometimes leads to a device needing service. That being said, here are the steps I would go through first for this specific error.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

If the iPod is still unable to be restored it may needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service. This link will also allow give you the option to contact Apple Support for possible additional troubleshooting steps and options.

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

I have a ipad my mother-in-law gave me and she has a fake user apple Id on it in recovery/factory setting and i cant get it off what do i do
