If you purchase an ipad and it is locked but asking for the apple id and password would you be able to use your own id and password to unlock it?

i am trying to purchase an ipad mini from a friend but it is locked. It is asking for the apple ID and password. Can i use my apple ID and password to unlock it?

The previous user needs to do this, or the iPad can't be used. If the person selling it is not the previous user, the iPad may be stolen.

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

Just to clarify, iOS is the operating system for iOS based devices such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.
Your Mac runs on OS X.
As for your Apple ID, help here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store

Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

I brought a i phone 4 second hand but i have done a factory reset and its asking for the apple id and password thats not mine i have contacted the seller and i was told that they have removed it from find my i phone please help

hi can any one help me i have done a factory reset on my i phone but its asking for a apple id thats not mine i have contacted the seller and i have been told that its been removed from find my i phone please help

That is the Activation Lock
There no way around that without the previous owner's AppleID and password.
It is totally worthless to you. Return it an get your money back.

If the login box keeps popping up either your acct is disabled or you are mistyping your pw.
Go here and try out your pw and reset if necessary:

Click on Manage ID and go from there.

I purchased an iPod touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working good but now I reset it and it's asking for the Apple ID of the original owner. Does anyone know how to bypass this so it works for me?

I purchased an iPod Touch 5 64gb mint condition, it was working great but I reset it and now it's asking me for an Apple Id. Problem is it want the original owners & not mine. I would have no problem contacting the person I bought it off of but I no longer have their information since when it worked I deleted the emails!
Does anyone know how to bypass this problem so that I can have the ipod work for me and my Apple ID?
I would even take it to Apple if they could fix it, would they? and what might that cost me?
Any suggestions would be great!!!!

Nope. Only the previous owner can do that. See:

HT6154 Hi there, i have bought a iphone 4 from graiglist , and when i turned the phone on , its asking for the Apple ID for the previous owner which i do not have, but i have my own apple ID . WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. YOUR HELP PLEASE

**** there,

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

This is not an easy process = Add these lines to user.js: user_pref("capability.policy.policynam For example: Could you make or send a link that will install this for the average user as I would prefer not to use Explorer.

All I would like is to be able to use the Cut and paste when I am making changes to my Web site . I have loked at the instuctions to do this but it is proviung to hard to apply. Is there an easier way or do you have an update that I can use to make Cut and paste work when web editing,

My ipad wont connect to wifi, it asks for the password then just loads?

i hit the thing to connect to my wifi and it will ask for my password and once i hit join it just loads. it works when im at school but once i go to connect to my house wifi it wont?

Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Then reboot your iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

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.

How do I remove ITunes and all the associated apps connected with ITunes from IPAD air. I did not ask for the download. It happened when I added a Chrome app.

My IPAD air that I use strictly for work automatically downloaded ITunes installation app and all the usual apps that come on with ITunes such as store, App Store, face time, ect when I downloaded the CHROME app for work. How to I delete all of these?

You can't. Those built in apps are not able to be deleted. The most you can do is to put them on a back menu page or tuck them in a folder.
They didn't come with the chrome app, they were there all along.
You can also go into the restrictions and enable restrictions and turn the apps off, which will make their icons invisible even though the apps will still be on your device.

The new ios7 update I can't size my wallpapers anymore. They are all way too big for the screen. Before I would just pinch to size it however I wanted and now it won't do this anymore. Really ***** because now you can't see the wallpapers fully.

Before the ios7 update we uses to be able to size our wallpapers backgrounds we choose to be the size we desire to fit our screen. Now we can't do this. Why? Is it something they left out for some reason or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes you can delete those temporary files as long as you've saved any changes you've made back to the main document. So I'd open the document with the same name without the ~ and hidden file attribute and make sure it's the way you want it. Then you can delete the temporary file.
The key command you want to enlarge text in internet explorer holding down command and hitting the =/+ key. Conversely the command and - key makes text in internet explorer smaller.
