I just purchased a second hand iPad in carboot.i didn't realised that the old accnt is still linked to the device,now I icant activate my account .I don't know where and how to contact the original owner.what should I do activate my accnt?is there any other option?

Apple cannot help you locate the original owner. If you have no way to contact him/her, and you purchased directly from the seller rather than through a site that offers buyer protection, then the iPad is useless to you and you have wasted your money. The iPad is quite probably stolen and you should turn it in to the police.
This is why it's very risky and usually unwise to purchase out of a car boot from someone you don't know.
Regards.

It would have saved to your camera roll. Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running. You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.

Nothing without the Apple id used to activate the iPnone
Activation lock is an anti theft method

There is no way round the lock without the correct iD and Apple will NOT assist in any way

Make sure you have the right system requirements before you start to update the iOS, you will need:
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility? That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says. Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

TS4268 I've tried the listed troubleshooting procedures to activate Facetime and iMessage, but no luck. Are there any other options? If it helps, I'm currently overseas and only using WiFi to connect.

lovethoseleaves,
Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

I have my iPhone 4s backed up on my mac but it seems it was encrypted with a password which i do not remember is there any other option to retrieve to the backup without restoring the device as a new one. Also I do not have access to a windows system.

Sorry no, if you don't knnow the encrypted password, then you can't use that backjup.

I have recently changed my mobile number, however when I use iMessage my old mobile number is still used. I realised that my old number is still registered to my iTunes account, how do I change this to my new number?

I think you're stuck if you don't have Find My iPhone enabled.

Find a way to contact whoever you bought it from. If you can't do that, turn it over to the police. The phone is probably stolen. There is NO WAY past the activation lock without the credentials for the Apple ID that was used to lock it.

I just upgraded to a new computer running Windows 7 from an old one running XP. I would like to transfer all my bookmarks but I don't know where they were and where to move them to in the new computer. Thank You.

Wanting to upgrade, don't know where or how

My wife bought the low end mini mac ($499) when they first came out in April of 2004, with no wireless. I believe the processor was 1.24 Ghz, 256 RAM, not sure. Anyway, she is wanting to upgrade the RAM and get the wireless installed.
We live in N.Indiana and I can't find an Apple dealer anywhere
closer than the Apple store in Chi-town.
My questions are this:
1) where can I buy the parts for this little monkey at (and which wireless should I get since she opted out originally) and
2) Maybe I'm going about this wrong, but what would be another suggestion for finding a certified Apple Tech up here?
Thank in advance for any help possible.

There's an Apple parts supplier in California which has Mac mini parts you can order, including the wireless upgrade kit.
http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.333/.f
Here's where you can locate your nearest authorized Apple service center:
http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service.html
If you find a nearby service center they may be able to order the wireless kit for you, possibly for less than buying direct from the parts supplier yourself. I don't know that for sure, but worth looking into before ordering. Hope some of this helps.

HT201232 I have called the support number given, was on hold for more than an hour and received quite unpleasant phone bill for trying to sort out AppStore mistake! Is there any other options of getting "support" apart from calling these telephone numbers

My account was charged for buying app that I actually didn't buy. I was trying to sort out these mistake by calling the support number given (Russia). There was no other options like sending an email or calling some other number. I was on hold for one hour and a half! Is that normal for Apple support??? So apart from being charged for the app I haven't given my permission to buy, I also got a phone bill for calling the only support number available. Where can I submit my complain and what could be done about it?
Thank you,
Natalia

There is an email way to do this. See here: https://getsupport.apple.com/ContactInfo.action
The Russian Federation is one of the countries listed under Other.
