Plz i bought ipad from some one and i cant activate it

i bought ipad from some one as a used one and i discover that ipad was stolen from some one and now he in acuntry and i in another one and i cant acivate it

There is nothing that you can do to activate the iPad. The original owner has to erase the iPad for you before you can activate it.
You should notify the authorities if you know that the iPad was stolen, but if you are in different countries, I'm not sure what you can do about it now. Most likely you can't do anything about it. You are stuck with an unusable, worthless iPad.

There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

HT204053 I bought an iPhone from some one and it says the maximum number of accounts has been entered for iCloud login how can I get iCloud now?

Please help

Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

I bought an iPad from a friend and can't activate it under my account! What am I doing wrong?

The previous owner says it's been deleted from iCloud account, but when I try to activate it, it still says it's linked to former owners email!

He needs to sign onto his iCloud account on a computer and remotely erase the device: https://www.icloud.com
Once he has erased the device, then he can click on "Remove From Account"

HT201441 I bought an ipad from a pawnshop and its linked to a previous owners apple ID. They said that they can't find the person to get their password. What can I do, or is it now just a paperweight?

I recently bought an iPad from a pawnshop and when I go to set it up it keeps asking me to sign in with a previous owners ID and password. How can I bypass this, as the person is no longer reachable to get the password from. Please tell me this isn't a paperweight now?!

Without their password you have a brick. You should take it back to the shop, who shouldn't have sold it to you in this condition.

I bought this apple ipad from pawn shop and have receipt. its locked by previous owner and pawn shop had no info on previous owner to contact. how can I delete all content and start fresh so my grandson can use for college?

If it's activation locked, you can't; go back to the shop and ask for a refund.

Check the settings on your iPad:
1. "Settings > General > Restrictions"
and also
2. "Settings > General > Accessibility" here Learning/Guided Access

HT4623 I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?

Ask previous owner to remove his device from account

HT201441 I would like to help where I can not open my iPad I bought it from the shop and iPad

Hi
I would like to help where I can not open my iPad I bought it from the shop and iPad user when I want to open the device to access the mechanism. Ask me to calculate the previous owner. I went to the store where you purchased told me Contact Apple. Please, I've lost a sum of money. Device number imei 013116000935329

Only the previous owner can help you. Take it back to the store and demand your money back. You will not be able to activate and use it without help from the previous owner. The shop should not have sold you an iPad that was still associated with the previous owner's account.

Ipads purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime as it is prohibited by the UAE. You cannot add FaceTime to those iPads no matter where it might be used.

Nothing, except "keep asking". Maybe you can return it.
In too many cases the "sellers who do not respond" stole the device.

HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

Hi, I am planning on buying an iphone 4 from some one. The phone still has the Apple Care Protection plan on it. Would there need to be a transfer of plan onto my name? If so, how is this done?

As the others have said, transferring AppleCare to your name is not absolutely essential. It can make things easier in some cases, though, should questions arise, so it's worth having done. The person from whom you're buying the iPhone will have to call AppleCare Plan Administration (s/he can call the normal Apple support line and ask to be transferred) and arrange to have the plan transferred to you.
Regards.

Hello, Edgarflo.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is some helpful information regarding preorder albums in iTunes. I would recommend checking to see if you can download the single directly from the preorder album as some artists release a single that is separate from the album and will be a different purchase.
