i have bought a ipad 2 second hand its locked to orange can this be unlocked
Sorry, this isn't a reply. Just wondering.
What have you done since? I have the same problem with iPad I bought second hand from an individual. The seller won't give me refund or provide me previous owner's contact info. Apple Support told me to contact local police to locate the original owner so I did. Since police didn't have report for this iPad's serial number they won't handle this as theft. I live in Utah and the seller I met with told me he is from Northern India so who knows which country this iPad came from. I wish to let the original owner know i have his/ her missing iPad since Apple doesn't care about consumers once they sold their products.

I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?
IPad mini unless branded for Verizon use will not be accepted for prepaid use. Apple will tell you that the mini is compatable with all carriers, you simply walk into the carrier of choice and ask for a nano Sim.
You pop it in, you turn on cellular if not already on and follow the screen prompts to get you up and running. Its quite easy.
I found my wife's mini only functions on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T who I set up service with.
Verizon blocks the activation due to the emeid of the device. Apple says it is fully operable on Verizon but they don't let you activate unless its purchased from them or from Apple to use on their system.
Good Luck -
i bought a second hand ipad 4 4g the first user forgot the apple id and password, how can i restore the ipad and create a new id and password for it?
You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know. -
i have bought a second hand iphone 4S which is locked on at&t how can i use other network sim on it as i have shifted from US
Call AT&T and see if you meet their requirements for unlocking the phone. If you don't, then you'll have to purchase a different phone entirely.

I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???
Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
what do i do next
Thankyou once again for your reply

Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?
Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
You bought a device that can never function so get your money back. -
I cannot activatea second hand iphone 4s as i don't have previous owners itunes ID. I can't get anything on the phone after setting the language as its asking for activation. Please can anyone help ???? Ideally i would like to get it back to factory settings and start afresh but right now i would settle for anything. Should say i only have the phone and charger, no box so no details
Unfortunately, the only one who can help is the previous owner. Otherwise you will not be able to activate and use the phone. Apple can't/won't help you with this either.

I have just purchased a second hand ipod touch 4. The previous owners details are still in it, so for example when I try to update the facebook app it asks me for the previous owners password, and shows the previous owners email address. How do I change it all to my details? I have already synced it with itunes and all of my music is now in it, and it's also renamed on the itunes page when I attach the ipod to my PC. I've also been in to the 'info' page, 'Advanced' and then 'Replace information on this ipod with mail accounts from this computer' then finally 'apply', but it still has the other persons ID.
I've answered my own question! I now understand that you can't use apps as they are always going to be linked to the original owner. I've since deleted the app and downloaded it again, and all is now well!

If I buy a second hand ipad with a wireless service, can I use it as a wifi only device?
For instance, let's say I find a great deal n a used ipad, but it's attached to AT&T, but I have no interest in getting an AT&T plan. Can it be used as a wifi only device?
Yes.

Please note here that iPad is wifi only...and I have tried restoring it 3-5 times and still it's locked to the previous owners account
Actually the correct procedure to follow is detailed by Apple in the Support article linked above:
How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process. -
does any one know how i unlock passcode ?
You can remove the passcode lock (Recovery Mode) but you will not be able to bypass the Activation Lock.
The previous owner's Apple ID and Password is needed to activate the iPad. -

I bought an iphone 3gs on o2 which was working fine till i restored it (which put ios5 on to it) now it wont activate, it keeps saying on itunes no sim inserted and on the iphone it has searching then says no service! Any ideas what i can do as cant get any further!
Some SIM cards were affected by iOS updates. Either contact O2 to get a replacement SIM or pop into a local phone shop and pick up a replacement SIM.
Once you have your new SIM, O2 have a swap my SIM page on their web site here:
http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk/
Follow the instructions on the O2 page and you should be up and running.
O2 do say it can take up to 24 hrs for SIM to be active, but I found it usually only takes half an hour or so before the new SIM is active.
Hope this helps. -
I have bought an second hand i phone 5 and want to generate a bill on my name ?
please help me in this !!!
What kind of 'bill' are you talking about? Wireless carrier? Then contact the carrier the device is locked to, if any, and set up service. If you mean your own Apple ID, then create one at id.apple.com, and then use that on the device.
