My ipad restored to someone elses account. how do i fix?

My ipad restored to someone else's account. I also noticed when connected to itunes my serial number does not show. How do i fix?

I used my laptop. It has all my itunes and idevice info on it. I even have a stored backup in itunes from a previous time. After talking to the friend that created this problem I found out that he was trying to unlock an ipad he purchased but was disabled or locked. He used WinScp to try and recover info off that ipad, That did not work so his sorry @#$ hooks my ipad up to WinScp and did something to where when I, [later on] discovered none of my apps would open. I hooked my ipad up to the laptop that only my ipad is authorized on and tried to restore it and that's when it happened. After the restore my ipad showed an activation screen to someone other than me. Itunes doesn't show my serial number at restore screen. I tried diagnostic scan and it reads it but i cant get itunes to restore my info and apps.

  • TS1410 I have an ipod that I bought showing someone elses name how do I fix this and when I go into itunes it will not display

    I bought an Ipod for my husbands birthday and when I connect it to the computer it shows someone elses name. I don't want to erase my list of music for my Ipod I need help.

    Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Logged in to someone elses account

    Having trouble logging in to my skype, I requested a password reset. When i typed my e-mail address and then choosed a new password, I was logged in to someone elses account. Can one e-mail address be used in more that one account? And how do I fix this? 
    I tried the Microsoft/skype support page link, but that page didn't exist...

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    This could happen if your email address wa associated with multiple Skype accounts. Would you mind sending me the Skype account name in question via a private message here on the Skype Community and I'll have the account setup reviewed?

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

    It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
    You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your iPhone.

    Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

  • My daughter in law keeps getting texts on her phone that are going to me she is on my iTunes account how can I fix this

    My daughter in law keeps getting my texts on her phone she is on my iTunes account how can I fix this problem without turning off my iMessage?

    her iPhone is probably also signed in with your Apple ID (iTunes account) for iMessage. Have her check Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on her iPhone. I'd also have her check Settings>FaceTime. If your ID is there have her sign out.

  • How to resynch my iphone after using someone elses account

    Can someone tell me how to resynch my Iphone 5 after synching it with a different account. All my stuff is gone and my phone has all the apps, pictures, contacts, etc. of the other user.

    Will my stuff be on a backup on the other users account?
    Doubful, but you can look here: iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu in Windows)>Devices.
    If so can I use that backup to resych my stuff back to my phone?
    You'd have to first sign in to iTunes on their computer, using your Apple ID.
    Bear in mind, when you go to sync to your computer, any iTunes content, on your phone, will be erased.

  • Placed order using paypal, bestbuy site crashed, now my order lists someone elses account info!

    Extremely upset and concerned. I placed an order on your website and used paypal to checkout. Was directed to the paypal site where I entered my info. It took me back to bestbuy to complete the order, however your page crashed and took me to a page that said oops sorry an error has occured, but my order still went through. I go to my account and check the order status, and IT IS LISTING SOMEONE ELSES PAYPAL ACCOUNT INFO as my payment method. This should NOT be happening. Tried calling customer service who was absolutely clueless and was of no help at all and would not do anything. I checked paypal, and there is a pending charge for the order total for bestbuy.com so there should not be any problem on their end. Someone contact me ASAP about whats going on. We should not be able to view other customers private info!

    Good morning redspeed,
    Placing an order on BestBuy.com using PayPal should be a pleasant and hassle-free experience! From the sounds of it, your experience has been far from what we strive to provide for an online shopping experience. With that said, it is truly odd that your order would be reflecting another person’s PayPal information, but the transaction still appearing on your PayPal account. I am truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that this may cause you.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I believe I was able to locate the order. I am sending you a private message to gather some details to further research this issue. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum, then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.
