I just bought an iPad air from staples and when I bought it someone's iCloud account was already logged on to it and I don't know how to fix it.

I Need my iPad to start over as a new iPad so I can sync it to my old one. But since somebody else's iCloud account is on here I can't turn off find my iPad to do that.

I concur. You were sold a used/demo model that is essentially useless since it is already associated with an AppleID. Take back for a full refund OR a new sealed-in-box replacement.

  • My iPad Air have a screen problem so I sent it to iService (I'm Thai) but they told me that they don't know how long that I have to wait until I will get a new one? Can anyone help me?

    but they told me that they don't know how long that I have to wait until I will get a new one?
    Because they said there's no stock in Singapore
    Can anyone help me?
    Just bought on 15/11/2013

    You can call iService and ask to speak with a manager.

  • Ok I just bought this phone off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of free iCloud account have been takin what can I do

    Ok i just bought a iPhone 4 off a friend and when I try to make a iCloud account it says the number of iCloud account have been takin and want let me make one what should I do

    You can't do anything, except use a different device (or a Mac) to setup iCloud and then transfer the details to the phone you bought.
    Clearly your friend setup multiple iCloud accounts for some reason (you only need one) using up all the allocation for that device, and didn't tell you before selling you the phone.

  • I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
    Just a guess.

  • My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    My macbook will not download any apps from the app store. im running on mac os x 10.6.8. I don't know how to fix it, help?

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will re download and install the App Store for you which may help.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Restart your Mac after combo is installed, try downloading apps.
    Note... if you have Little Snitch installed that will prevent downloads. If you have anti virus software installed, disable that and turn off the Firewall in System Prefereces > Security.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

  • My iPad 2 with iOS6 has a non-working iTunes and AppStore I don't know how to fix it

    Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • HT4759 My icloud account is link to old apple id that i don't know password for and when i try to delete icould on my iphone it is asking me for a password instead of just deleting what can i do to  get my icloud accout updated with my current apple id?

    MY ICLOUD ACCOUT IS LINK TO OLD APPLE ID WHICH I DON'T KNOW PASSWORD.  WHEN I GOT TO SETTINGS TO DELETE ICLOUD TO CREATE WITH MY CURRENT IT ASK ME FOR A PASSWORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD APPLE ID INSTEAD OF DELETING THE ACCOUNT.  HOW DO I DELETE THE ICLOUD ACCOUT WITH INPUTTING A PASSWORD TO TURN OFF FIND IPHONE?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Reset not working on iPad Air. I just bought this iPad Air from an individaual.  It was listed as new and came with the box, charger, and guide.  The seller said it was jail broken and I told him I did not want it jail broken  and he said he would reset

    He said he would reset it to factory and I said ok I would purchase it.  He supposedly received it as a gift from his business and already had one.  Well it all looks in new condition and powers up and down ok, and connected to WIFI when I checked it out at Starbucks.  SIRI worked, Safari and the camers worked so I took it.  Nothing was on the screen but standard  app symbols you see on a new iPad.  I compared it to a display at a store.
    Well when I got it home I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to trust and I said yes ond on the Air it asked to ok it and I did.  Then I tried to go to App store and it came up and asked for the password for a Apple ID.  Of course I did not have it.  I then tried to do a reset.  I went to Settings and did a reset erase everything.  It asked me twice if I wanted to reset as it was not recoverable.  I said yes.  It did not ask for and Apple ID or password. The Air reset started and the Apple logo came up and a bar started to move arcoss under it.  It almost became a full bar when the screen went blank and the little small rotating symbol came up.  It just kept rotating and never finished.  Had to do a hard reset holding the Home and Sleep button for 10 seconds and the the Air came back.  Everything is working on the Air except I can not get it to reset and link it up to my computer itunes.
    It is on IOS 7.0.4
    I hope I am not out my $475.  Any help would be appreciated.  Any options or suggestions.
    Thanks.

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

  • I bought the iPad Air from the apple store and all in the box was a piece of wood

    I went to the apple store in my local mall and I purchased 2 iPads and 2 cases with protection plans and I went home and opened up my new iPad Air and the box was empty except for a piece of wood

    Once I realized It was empty I called the store and they just closed I then called my local police precinct and told them just to get there input because I just spent a lot of money. After that I called apple and they said they will open an investigation they said they will get back to me ASAP I am just curious what apple does in these situations
