IPad Mini Activation Problem

I tried to sync videos and music on the iPad Mini but it has an activation problem.It is already used by another Apple ID,i want to get rid of it and put My Apple ID in so i can Sync some in,When i bought it from a pawn shop in Knoxville,TN it had no APPLE STORE in the iPad and tried and tried and tried but nothing,I putted it on the computer to check so i can clear out stuff and put it from old to new.

If you cannot locate the original owner to get the information, return
the iPad for a refund. You have run into Activation Lock, a security
feature in iOS 7. Without the AppleID and password that was used
to set up the iPad, it is useless. There is no workaround.

IPad mini activation issue

I'm really fed up with the iPad mini. This is my 3rd after the others overheated whilst on charge.
I was trying to set it up with a valid SIM and through wifi and i get the following messages:
Attempting to activate through wifi;
WE ARE EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM ACTIVATING YOUR IPHONE- PLEASE CONTACT APPLE
wifi symbol and 2 bars indicating sim signal
Attempting to activate through mobile connection;
COULD NOT ACTIVATE IPAD
your iPad could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it ot try again over the mobile connection in a few minutes. You can also try to activate a wifi connection.
2 bars and 3G symbol
Message on itunes;
iTunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore before it can be used on itunes.
Then the cycle continues. I have an appointment but just wondering if anyone on here could help or have any info because to be honest i just want to throw it in the bin. This is my first Apple product and i'm sincerely regretting it.There is nothing wrong with the SIM.

sorry wrong spell my apple id is [email protected]

Hello guys,
I am trying to activate my brand new iPad mini, I have fully charged it up, languge, country, wi fi but it stats that the 'activation server cannot be reached and to try again in a few minutes'.
Only I have tried and tried now to activate to no avail and also tried to activate through iTunes which has also failed

Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

IPad Mini update error 53 after screen replacement

Hello,
I have a new iPad mini. Not too long ago it was dropped and the digitizer scattered. I sent it in for repairs but apparently it fell outside of the repair parameters, as it was a little too shattered? hum hum.
So I went about replacing the digitizer myself, and doing so the Touch ID home button was rendered non functional. I was just fine with this as I could use the iPad just fine without it, and I'm ok with a non functional home button. Problem is when you go to update. You can't update at all, and now it seems that because the home button is non functional, it bricked my fairly new $600 iPad mini by going through the update process (which itunes so gracefully asks you to do every time you plug it in now)
What options do I have here? It really seems idiotic that because of a non functional Touch ID sensor home button that you cannot update the software. This is a really poor design decision.

illigal? i downloaded from an authourized site www.imzdl.com & my method of installation is simple via itunes itself. i still dont understand how it worked evading authorization from apple. but it sure did.
& for your info i downgraded my ipad mini back to ios6.1.3 & now itz back to being perfect.. thx anywayz.

Ipad mini USB error into MPB

I get this warning now when I try and sync my ipad or anything that involves plugging it in to the laptop.
Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again.
the ipad was the only thing connected via USB.
Whats going on?

is the laptop connected to ac power when you get that error
maybe it lowers the amps it let usb draw when on battery
maybe it's even something you can adjust in the laptops settings somewhere

Hello there, Didger46.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up information on the exact error message you are seeing:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#9
Particularly:
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I cannot remove messages in Facebook on Ipad mini get error

I am unable to remove Facebook messages get a message "problem connecting with facebook check your connection" but everything else on facebook is working.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
