I bought a Use IPad and need to change my ID
Hello, I need help I have bought an used IPad' 3 @and need to change the old Apple ID to my own ID. Please help me
Yes you can as long as the previous owner erased the iPad according to these instructions. If the previous owner didn't do this, contact him or her and ask for their help. If the last owner cannot be reached or will not cooperate, you will eventually run into problems that you will not be able to resolve and you will have a useless brick on your hands.

I bought a Used iPad. How I can sign in in Apple. always the user name of the former owner appears
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID that is showing and sign out. Sign in with your own ID.
Why the previous owner did not remove his information is a mystery. -

I mean i've bought and used ipad 2 from a guy in ebay, so, i want to change the propietary of the ipad to me, cause when i try to register the used ipad to my account it says that i cant cause it has been already registred with another apple Id.
My seller on e-bay was forced to FINALLY give me his Apple ID and Password (also answers to security questions to finally re-set all of Apple's security stuff on their website) when I got my wife a used iPad 2 for her business this Christmas. Not a good resolution. However, you ABSOLUTELY cannot re-set an iPad 2, using OS 7 (or presumably later updates), because of the security features found in the OS, simply by following the steps outlined on this thread at http://supportprofile.apple.com and https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do. My seller followed those instructions to the letter and also did: un-link/sync the device from his iTunes program on his computer, delete it from his Apple ID and re-set the iPad through general preferences on the device before he mailed it to me. All suggestions made here or on other Apple Community threads. When I got it last week, it was a brick which still demanded his old Apple ID and password regardless as to what we did. So, the solution, in my opinion, (since most sellers are not going to be comfortable with giving up their info) is for the Seller, before he delivers it to a buyer, to: [1] perform the 3 steps I referenced above; [2] using his existing Apple ID, password and security questions, set-up a new account at Apple with a new name (John Doe) email address and password which CAN be shared with the buyer. Something simple like getting a yahoo or gmail address, logging into the iPad's old account and changing everything to this new email address, a mutually-agreed upon password and at least 2 security questions/answers; [3] BEFORE mailing the iPad, go into "general" preferences and change everything to John Doe instead of the old seller's name; [4] Once the buyer gets it, they will have to change everything into their name with their own account settings, preferences, etc. And, if it's true that Apple will make them wait 90 days to do another re-set, all one can say is "Thank you Apple" for making a used market for your devices as difficult as possible.

I've bought an used iPad and i want to transfer the registration
Hi,
I've bought an used iPad and i'd like to transfer the registration of the product from his profile to mine.
What should we do?You can try but I'm not certain if you can re register a previously registered device. The warranty only extends from the original date of purchase.

I bought a used iPad 2 and it has started prompting me to sign into iCloud, however, I do not have the original owners password. How can I reset it
You can't. You may have purchased a stolen iPad. Where did you buy it? If on eBay, you can get a refund.

I bought a used iPad1 that has the former user's apple id. I have an apple id myself that i can use to purchase apps, etc.
1. However, do i need to reset the device to use my ID? I've made purchases from my laptop and need to sync them to the ipad.
2. My latop is authorized and all the connectivity tests etc are ok. I get the message do I want to erase my library when i sync. there was music that i like on the device when i got it. I don't want to lose it by saying yes to deleting it. Oh yeah i don't think this music is in the itunes on the ipad. what can i do?
Can't you see i don't know where to go, help me please!You should log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you should then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to put it back to factory settings (which the previous owner should have done) - you can then sync your own content to it.

I bought used iPad 2.i cannot download
Apps from store because old owners apple I. D is still there. How do I remove and replace with mine?You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Stores if it's not on iOS 6). You can then remove all of the previous owner's content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings - their content will be tied to their id, so only their id will be able to download updates to those apps.
You can then log in to your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores -
I bought a used ipad and want to delete the old network that wi-fi used
I just purchased a used ipad2 and I want to delete the previous owner's network suggestion. Also, how do I set up wi-fi and connect to the internet.
Go to Settings on the iPad, be on the General tab, and then go to the bottom where it says "Reset".
I recommend to Erase All Content and Settings, seeing as it's a used iPAd. Once that is completed, if it comes up to a screen telling you to plug the device into iTunes, follow that instruction. If it doesn't and you are already on iOS 5, you're set to go and it will guide you through the stesp to enjoy your iPad.
If it doesn't have iOS 5, plug it into your computer and open up iTunes after Erasing All Content and Settings, and follow the steps shown on your computer. If no steps show, go to the left hand side of the program and click 'iPad' and follow the steps. If no steps are given, click 'Check for Updates' if it didn't prompt you already to update your iPad.

I know Apple will buy back a used iPad but I can't find the site.
when I bought my new iPad, the salesman showed me a site on the Apple website where I could find out how much Apple would give me (in credit, I think), but I can't find it again. Anyone know?
Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.
