Just got an ipad from a deceased family member and it wont let me change the user id

My mom recently passed away and I now have her Ipad. When I log into Itunes, it keeps coming up with her Itunes ID and wont let me change it to mine. does anyone know how to get it to change?

Connect to iTunes then revert back to default settings where it says if you have a problem. Finally, start it as a new user or new iPad and install from there. If you have a previous iPad you could use the back up from it and restore using that one. If all else fails, go to settings and delete everything to factory settings then connect to iTunes as a newvuser and register as yourself and it will work that way.

That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

Just got iPod shuffle for a new family member, but it won't work

I got an iPod (nano) for christmas this year, and that one installed fine. Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we got her an iPod (shuffle). Since we all share a computer, and iTunes is already hooked up to this one, we figured it would work. When she plugged it into the USB port, well nothing happened. I've been going through everything since I got home about an hour ago. I can't find anything about installing a second iPod to iTunes. Anybody feel like helping?

Who did you get it in the mail from? Apple, Verizon, or someone else? What model iPhone? Some models need to be activated by Verizon. There's a number you can call to activate it; check your Verizon documentation.

I've just got a new device for my iphone 5, and i tried to restore all the data. everything else worked, besides my music. How do i get this back on my phone?

My iphone 5 power button broke so now I've got a replacement device. Ive restored all of my old data and everything worked besides my music. Any ideas how i get this back on my new device?

After the restore completed, you need to sync music back. Music is not part of the backup. Just connect the phone back to the computer and sync,.

I just got an email stating to update my profile and I think its bogus. The link is unknown.

I hover above the link and its not apple. I think there is a bad guy doing this. Hope I'm wrong

It is a phishing scam.
Just delete it.

Hi I have an Ipad 3 (new ipad) and it wont let me open up the screen, it just comes up with'this machine hasnt been backed up for so many weeks, when you press ok, it just stays there and cant do anything else ???

I Have an Ipad 3 and it wont let me open the screen,it just comes up with 'This machine has not been backed up for so many weeks' and when you prsss ok nothing happens, its just locked out ,. Any Ideas ??

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Just got my iPad 2 back from apple for battery exchange. It was updated to iOS 7.02. Trying to get all my apps back but my App Store is locked onto a purchased app and won't let me do anything. Help ,

My App Store is locked at an app I purchased and won't let me make any selections. What do I do. I just got my iPad back from factory for new battery. It was updated to iOS 7.02 at factory. Have not been able to take a movie either. Will take picture. No idea what square is, but won't let me select it either.

Try close all apps in multi-task window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account. I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.
