Previous user of iPad had Find My iPhone so can't reset and can't contact previous owner

Turn it in to the local authorities - most likely it is stolen. Activation Lock is a
security feature in iOS 7 and later. Only the person who initiated the Activation
Lock can remove it. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on?

How can I see the last location of a now dead ipod touch 4G that had find my iphone turned on? I can see my macbook but I cant see the last location of my ipod touch. I lost it a few weeks ago and figured it would show up. But it has not and I need it again for my job. Please help.

There is nothing you can do now. There are apps available from the app store that would give you that information if installed before it was lost/stolen.

One word. NO
Sorry. If you have lost your iPad, immediately go to iTunes and change your Apple ID password. Change your email passwords. Change the passwords you use for any app tied to a credit card.

its been erased and no sim card in it .when i try to configure , it says i should enter an apple

Since it was erased and no sim card the owner probably got rid of it of some reason.

If you don't have it in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then if it is still in the store then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

New iPad Air 2 with a persisting blank screen. Support site suggests a restore after turning off 'Find my iPhone' on the device. How can I do this with a blank screen?

New iPad Air 2 (December 2014) with a persisting blank screen. Support site suggests a restore after turning off 'Find my iPhone' on the device. How can I do this with a blank screen?

Thanks JimHdk,
After a little more searching across various online resources I was able to cure it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds to restart it and it all came back with a clear screen.

My iPad Air is locked (my brother change the code, so I don't know it) and is not connected to the internet, in more Find my iPhone is activate, so what i can do to find the pass code?

In iTunes, select iTunes Store under STORE, scroll to the bottom and change the flag (bottom right) to the country where you are.

I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request. He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!

If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.

Replacement iPad 4th generation WIFI/3G saying no SIM CARD and unable to restore previous settings

Hi Inez2317,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:
If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well.
All the best,
Jeremy
