First of all have your friend restore the iPad as a new device and wipe it clean for you. Or on the iPad go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings and this will erase everything from the iPad.
You can create your own iTunes account on your computer or on the iPad. Read this.

  • How can I change my email address on my Itunes account if the old email address has been closed down?

    Hi, my brother is struggling to log in to his itunes account. He has been using an old email address but not actually logged into his email account for quite a while. All of a sudden he hasn't been able to sign in to itunes. He has been trying to change over the email address but it looks like the old email address account has been deleted. Any ideas he can go around this to change it over?

    Hello amy_c22,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand is that your brother no longer has access to the email being used for the Apple ID.  He will be able to change his Apple ID if you follow the instructions in the article below:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID

  • I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    My iCloud on my iPad is in my ex partners name and I don't no his password . How can I change the username in 2 my name ?

    iCloud from an account perspective is associated with the AppleID. Unless you have the password, there's nothing you can do to modify it.
    As suggested, you just want to create your own and reassocited the iPad with your new one. You will lose data and purchased apps, however. Basically, you will be starting from scratch.

  • My ipad is syncing notes to an old phone with a different apple id how can I change it to sync to the new iphone icloud is off and so is home sharing

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • My husband and i share a macbook. we each have our own log-in and we each have our own itunes account. how can we share our libraries?

    My husband and I share a macbook. We each have our own log-in and we each have our own itunes account. How can we use home sharing?

    First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup".  Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes.  An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user.  You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
    Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name).  You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose). 
    So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar.  But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc.  But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
    Does that make better sense?

    Hi theirmimi,
    Go to Manage your Apple ID (on a computer) and sign in with your Apple ID. Then you can edit the email information on your account:

  • My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones.  We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD).  Do we each need to have our own iTunes account?  What about iCloud?  We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color individually?

    Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color of the bar meter individually for each element of the array?  I have just figured out that you can't change properties of one element of the array without all elements changing.  For the scaling I had to make numeric indicators for each tick of the scale so that each bar meter in the clustered array would have individual scales.  I also had to do some math to scale each barmeter to display correct proportions from 0 to 100%.  Now I'm stumped on the color of the bar meter.  Basically, if the value goes over a setpoint, the bar meter needs to turn red.  It has to be in an array to be infinitely scalable.
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can't do that-
    without a little trick.
    You could consider laying a custom color box over the bar graph in the cluster you can set the color based on the value of the bar graph or even make a "Pseudo"- bar graph using a series of color boxes stacked to look lie a bar and changing values of the Color boxs from empty to full to red.
    Here is an example to demonstrate
