Ipad icloud remove old id with no pw

i cant figure out how to get the old owners icloud id off . the old owner has no clue what it was and the questions asked in recovery her birthday is not rite for some reason

Well, if the device has activation lock, then do not buy it.
Ask him/her to sign out from iCloud account. Go to settings > iCloud and sign out.
If they do not know the password, then reset the password either by security questions or by rescue e-mail.
If they cannot do it, then ask them to contact to Apple Support to verify the identity and send iForgot email Last option to gather the proof of purchase and contact Apple to remove the activation lock.

  • Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

    I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
    I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
    However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
    I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
    Any ideas as to a solution?
    Thanks a lot

    I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
    The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
    If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
    MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
    Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
    I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

    In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

  • Some movies on iPad are removed and reloaded with every sync.

    Recently some, only some, of my movies already loaded on my various iDevices are removing themselves, then reloading on every sync.   (Note: "Movies" is a loose term herein, it includes all video forms; Home Video, TV, Movies....)
    In attempts to fix this situation, I have;
    Talked to the local Apple Store Personnel 3x, no one knows what is wrong.
    Talked with Sr. Apple Advisor who did not know what was wrong, he escalated the issue to Apple Engineering on 6/20/14.  (Sr. Advisor has been called back regarding this ticket 3-4x, has only returned my call the first time to advise he is still waiting on Engineering....  Sorry, but this time line is getting really bad without a response from Sr. or Engineering.  What is going on with Customer Care?  Added Frustration.)
    Apple Engineering does not apparently know what to do, as there has been no response in 2 months.
    Giving up on the above 3 bullets, I have;
    Deleted/Re-downloaded offending movies.
    Removed/Reinstalled iTunes App on MacBook.
    Removed iTunes App and all of its' extra "strands" on MacBook, the reinstalled iTunes from Apple.
    Created an external iTunes Media folder, pointed iTunes to that folder, then downloaded movies to that location.
    Searched the web relentlessly to find someone else with reference to this issue.
    All of the above has not corrected the situation.  The movies in question are random, some purchased 1+ years ago, some purchased 1 month ago.  I have to think this is an iTunes issue since this issue is reflected on all of my devices.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    MacBook Pro Late 2008:  OS 10.9.4
    iTunes 11.3.1(2) 64 Bit

    iTunes does not stream.
    You are downloading the video.
    After a sufficient amount has downloaded, you can begin watching it.

  • Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

    I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

    Hello gmille1,
    It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Answer your security questions
    Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
    Select your birth date, then select Next.
    Answer your security questions.
    Set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use email authentication
    Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
    Open the email and select the link to change your password.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Removing old calendars with out emailing everyone a notice

    So we've been migrating are company to iCal server, however one glitch is proving to be problematic. As we move there local calendars to the server, we find that we need to then delete those local calendars, otherwise duplicate calendars show up, the previously used locally stored calendar, and the new copy of that calendar on iCal Server. Simple solution is to highlight them in the iCal calendar list and then delete them. However, when you delete a calendar, it automatically begins sending out emails to all previous meeting attendees notifying them that the meeting was canceled (because the calendar was deleted). The problem is that there is no way to override those emails, they are sent out automatically.
    So my questions is what is the proper way to remove a locally stored copy of a calendar, once it's imported, without iCal automatically emailing attendees and canceling meetings.
    Regards,
    Greg Montgomery

    Hi Greg, there are some great utilities at this site that should help.
    You can delete duplicates, and restrict the automatic sending of notifications.

    Trying to update iPad mini. Old email continues to appear and can't authenticate. How to remove it totally and use my iCloud I.D.?

    If you have any apps that were acquired with the old ID they will always be tied to that ID. Delete them and reacquire them with the new ID that you have in Settings > iTunes and App Store

    I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Can't remove old owners iCloud acorn from my ipad tried contacting them but get no response ?

    Can't remove old owners iCloud account  from ipad tried contacting them but no response ?

    In which case, you have an iPad that you'll never be able to use.
    There is no way around the Activation Lock. It is a security feature.
    Did you not check that the device had been properly wiped and reset before buying it?
    If the previous "owner" is now suddenly being hard to find, you probably bought a stolen iPad.

    turn on icloud with my ipad, it spams my network with old meeting requests (2009). what gives?

    This happened to me (twice) when iCloud first came out -- and I have steered clear of iCloud ever since.  But I just recently upgraded to Mavericks, and they took local sync away!!  Anyone still having this issue with iCloud??  I will not send accepted messages for old meetings three times!

    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.

  • I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with Apple ID named: A@.... But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@... to the new one: B@... Which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate 7.0.4 ipad - A or B?

    Hello everybody!
    I'm using ipad mini and the iOS is 7.0.4. I used an Apple ID (called: A), and I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with this A account. But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@.... to the new one: B@.... (just changed email address of Apple ID, not create a new ID), and then I signed out iCloud, old Apple ID, etc... on my ipad and signed in with new id B@.... Everythings seem OK, I can sign in/out iCould, turn on/turn off Find my iphone as well with the new one (B@...)
    But I still have a question (and still confusing with it): What will happend when I restored my ipad? I mean my iOS is 7, so which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate my ipad after I restore it, old id A@.... (this one cannot be used now) or the new one B@...., please?
    Thank you very much for your helpful informations!

    If you've succesfully changed the ID for iCloud and Find my phone, it will be your new ID you use if you need to restore it.
