I sold ipad2 verizon 3g but new owner can't register it under his name

I bought an ipad2 with verizon 3g. I never used the verizon connection nor ever registered it with verizon. I sold the ipad to a guy. He is trying to register it to verizon so he can use their 3g network but it tells him that it is still registered to me. I spoke with verizon and they said it is not registered, and never was, under my verizon account. I caled Bestbuy, where I purchased it and they said to contact apple. I have tried repeatedly to contact apple to change the registration and all I have been told was the new owner just needs to log into register.apple.com.  He has already done that before even contacting me. Any way to transfer ownership of the ipad to someone else so they can use it?

Yes, he went to a Verizon store. They were the one that told him to contact me to "disconnect" my service.  I told him not only did I not have service on it, I never registered it - with Verizon or apple. Verizon says they cannot even locate the product in their system to do anything if they could.
If anyone has been successful at this I would appreciate any advice. Flaming isn't proving your superiority in any way.

    Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
    Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
    If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

  • I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he cannot use my phone without my apple id and password.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sent it.can he run up a bill using my id?cheers.

    I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he needs my id and password to use it.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sold it but wanted to know if he could run up a bill even though i no longer have an account with my phone provider?

    You did not follow the proper procedure when selling the phone before resetting it to factory settings. You must help the new owner deactivate the Activation Lock or else he will have the same issue over and over when he upgrades the software or sells it to someone else.

    in previous version F6 can Edit url but new version can't it have new hot key or remove it??

    F6 focuses the first selectable element.<br />
    If "Tabs on Top" is selected then the active tab is selectable, so the location bar is not selected.<br />
    Press F6 to set focus on the Tab bar and press the Tab key until the location bar gets focus.
    To get the 3.6 behavior uncheck "Firefox button > options > [] Tabs on Top" or use Alt + D or Ctrl + L

  • Apple ID is all of a sudden not an iCloud account. It used to work until a few days ago, but now iCloud can't register the ID and Outlook can't login to iCloud.

    My Apple ID is all of a sudden not an iCloud account.
    So it says any way. It used to work until a few days ago, but now iCloud can't register the ID and Outlook can't login to iCloud from my pc. Anyone else faced this problem or know how to deal with it?

    Ditto here.
    I tried setting up iClunk today.....
    .....on my Windows 7 64bit computer.
    I click on the iCloud icon in the Network & Internet section; the iCloud sign in window pops up and I type in my Apple user ID and password and it replies that I need to setup a separate iCloud account....even though it plainly states that for the user to "Sign in with your Apple ID".
    Go figure.

  • My husband bought me a Mac Air for Christmas but registered it in his name.  How can I change it to my name?

    How can I change the ownership on the MacBook Air that my hubbie bought me for Christmas.  It was registered at the shop in his name.

    Auntydodo, if all you need to do is to create an account with your name, that's easy enough: use System Preferences, select Users & Groups, click the lock to authenticate, and you can create a new account with your name.
    You can delete his account if you wish but there is no harm in leaving it there.
    You might want to change the name of the computer, if he gave it a personalized name (like Mr. Auntydodo's MacBook Air) and you want to name it something else. That is accomplished with the Sharing preference.
    If your husband created an Apple ID, for purchasing music and apps for example, you can either continue to use his or you can create a new one for yourself. That's another subject.

  • Used iPad, new owner, can't clear it & log in my ID.

    I was given a used iPad. I need to reset it for my own Apple ID. I don't have their restriction code. How do I do this?
    The answer I found so far in the archives pointed me to the General/Reset/Erase All content and Settings buttons, but a Passcode screen popped up and I had to stop after 2 failed guesses. Former owner, who is 90,  had it set up by her daughter. Her daughter set it up with her own account ID, etc. I emailed her to ask for the Passcode, but if she doesn't know it, I don't know how to proceed. I signed into iCloud, but when I go to open that, it asks for my password only, with her iCloud ID already input and no way to input mine instead.
    I was able to change the iCloud sign in to my own account, so I don't want to accidentally erase that.
    I am writing this on my laptop. Please help, if only to link me to a better archived answer. Thank you.

    If the original owner cannot remember the password and cannot erase the device for you, then it is now and always be useless. There is nothing that you can do now to make it yours if she can't remember the passcode to erase it.
    This is what the original owner needs to do.

  • Transferred songs but new computer can't find file

    I transferred my music library with my mini to a new computer but now the new computer says it cannot find my any of my songs because "the original file cannot be found". And yet it looks like it transferred, the new library has all 609 songs. Any thoughts on how to get this opened up.

  • Upgraded but new itunes can't find library

    I just upgraded to the new itunes 7.0.2, but none of my songs or playlists transferred over from the older itunes. Does anyone know how to get 7.0 to find my library of music?

    Your playlists reside in the 'iTunes Library' file (more info here).
    Is your library empty or does it only contain songs, but not the playlists?
    In either case the 'iTunes Library' file might have been damaged, forcing iTunes to create a new one.
    You can check this by opening HD/Users/Username/Music/iTunes and looking for a file called 'iTunes Library (damaged)'.
    Unfortunately, such a file cannot be repaired and reverting to iTunes 7.0.0 won't help either.
    There is a way to go back to the pre-iTunes 7 situation. However, all changes you made during the use of an iTunes 7.0.x version will be lost.
    Open the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder in HD/Users/Username/Music/iTunes and locate the latest 'iTunes Library yyyy-mm-dd' file.
    Create a copy of it and rename it to 'iTunes Library'. Then put it at HD/Users/Username/Music/iTunes, replacing the one that's already there.
    When running iTunes, it will recognize the iTunes 6 format and start 'determining gapless playback' again.
    After a while you will have your library back (including playlist) at the moment just before upgrading to iTunes 7.
    If you want to try iTunes 7.0.0 or 7.0.1, download it here.
    Before installing an older version, trash the iTunes application and the 'iTunesX.pkg' file (in HD/Library/Receipts).
    Hope this helps.
