thanks i will have to try to sell it but probably (but wont since its broken) but i will try
Selling it is just going to put the problem off to someone else. Where did you get the iPad. You say it is new, then it is used, then after getting a couple of responses you edit your original post to say you cannot access the original owner, then you say to will sell it, but it is broken. What you should be doing is dealing with the person you purchased it from.

    I assume you mean on her iPad. Have you tried connecting on another network.

  • Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

    Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account?  Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

    When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

  • HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

    I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

    If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe.  The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
    This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however.  If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

  • My ipad mini was just replaced , any way to recover photos?

    I bought an ipad mini for my wife. For some unknown reason it simply went bad. Apple just sent a replacement. Needless to say all her photos are gone. My ipad is backed up on my iMac , I thought hers was too through iCloud. I can't locate her mini on the iMac. Did my lack of knowledge cost her all her pics or can they be found somewhere? Thanks!!

    First make sure the replacement iPad is running the same or higher version of iOS as the old one.  (If you aren't sure what version of iOS it's running you can check by going to Settings>General>About>Version.)  If it isn't, you'll need to update it first.  Then, to restore the iCloud backup you need to start by erasing the iPad Mini.  If you have any newer data on it that is not contained in the backup you'll need to save that first.  When you're ready, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad Mini and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of the old iPad Mini to restore from.
    Be sure the iPad Mini is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • HT1766 I own an ipod, Ipad and Ipad mini, need more storage

    I own an ipod, Ipad and Ipad mini. They are all on one email account yet I still only have the original 5 mb of storage. Should I separate them in order to get more storage? My autistic great grandson uses the ipod and the mini. He loves, making videos. I

    Or you could pay for more storage.
    Which is what most people do when they need more iCloud space.

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8 system) to iCloud. In system preferences there is no iCloud icon to select. How do I get my MacBook updated to accept iCloud.

    I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my MacBook Pro to icloud with my ipad, but my MacBook doesnt have an icloud icon in system preferences. How do I upgrade my MacBook to accept iCloud link.

    See -> Mavericks System Requirements.
    Most of us are running Mavericks with no problems - others seem to be having various problems (if you check out the Mavericks forum). But I would recommend that you have a current backup whichever way you go.

  • When I tweet from my notification center on my iPad mini, the link is not included. How do I fix that?

    When I tweet from my notification center on my iPad mini, the link to the content I'm tweeting about is not included. It only includes the title of the tweet. How do I fix that? Thanks.

    The choice should appear as two tabs at the top - imap & pop.
    Make sure you're choosing 'Other'.

    I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date

    Why not just create an Apple ID for her and then you wont have any problems. Login on iMessage and Facetime using her ID and do the rest with your ID. It will work i tried it on my iPad
