Purchasing an iPad from Craig's list

IS warranty valid when purchasing an iPad from Craig's list?

Only if the item is still under warranty. Be careful when buying from sources like that. Be sure the seller has disabled Find My Phone and erased the device. You don't want to be caught in the Find My iPhone Activation Lock situation in which you cannot use the device.

I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it. I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not economic for small purchases? Anyway,
I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

Hi, I purchased an ipad from a private party a while back. The Ipad was working properly until today my daughter scew up the password and it now locked. I did a restore to the Ipad. But I could not set it up. Cause it kept asking for the previous owner id. And I now don't have the previous owner number. Is there a way that I could set up Without his ID?

Cancel the sale, return it to the original owner temporarily, and tell him to take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

If it is your password on your appleID account then click on the link to reset your password.
If it is your four digit passcode then See here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.
[You may also have to put your device into Recovery Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ]

I just purchased an Ipad from a retail store but didn't get the education $50 iTunes voucher but I am a student commencing this year. How can I go about getting this voucher or do I need to return the Ipad and repurchase it again?

Hi There
I just purchased an Ipad Mini from a retail store close to me in Melbourne and although I mentioned I was a student this year, the store was closing and we processed the payment. Only when I got home did I realise that I am entitled to an iTunes voucher to the value of $50.
I haven't yet received my Student ID from my university but I can proove my enrolment in other ways (acceptance letter from university and enrolment information)
I am wondering what I need to now do to obtain this voucher.
Do I have to return the iPad for a refund and re-purchase it again or is there a simpler way to arrange this?
Thanks for your help

Sometimes the GC's are mailed out. You don't always get them right in the store IIRC.

Date range error when viewing items purchased on ipad from PC

When I'm on my PC and open iTunes and sort by date, the latest date to show up is 2011 but I have purchased many items on my ipad since then. I don't know what happened and why it won't show my recent purchases. Any suggestions????
Karen

You will get a second message saying you won't be charged but if you're concerned, just download a free app, any one will do, first to your iPad, then try to transfer it to your PC. Presumably it won't transfer so then download it again directly through iTunes on your PC and try to transfer again.
Oh one more thing: did you register your iPad during the initial setup sync? iTunes should have asked you if you wanted to register the iPad now or later. If you picked later, maybe the iPad isn't being recognized by iTunes as an authorized device. I'm not sure my speculation is right because if that were the case, I don't think you should be able to transfer apps from PC to iPad but you can do that. But I'm just throwing out ideas. If you haven't registered the iPad yet, maybe go ahead and do so.

I have purchased an ipad from a house clearance, the previos owner has passed away, can i reset it?

i have purchased an ipd mini from a house sale, the previous owner has passed away, i need to reset it, can I?

you can ask the family to remove it from the iCloud account
I believe that would be presuming the family even knows the owner's password or has access to the owner's email account where they could receive an e-mail responding to a password reset request.

I purchase a ipad from a friend. I set up an apple id on my ipad. Iam trying to set up a itunes account for this ipad, i have had a itunes account in the past, but my apple id is the same only with a 36 at the end of my apple id. When I log into itunes to

create a new account, it tells me that I already have an account and it won't let me create a new account, how do i cancel that old itunes account and create a new one with my new apple e-mail address?
Also when I select on my ipad free apps, it pops up with the previous owner apple id on it, how can I change that to my apple id?

From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled. You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

Help - unable to remove ipad from icloud device list

I am trying to erase/remove my IOS7 ipad mini from my iCloud account, as I am selling the device.
I have been able to use the iCloud - Find my iPhone function to sucessfully erase the ipad mini. I did this using the browser interface to www.icloud.com from a PC.
I then try to 'remove' the 'erased' ipad and I am getting a recurring :- 'There was a problem sending your request to your device' error in the iCloud, Find my iPhone browser screens.
The device has sucessfully been erased and even if I repeat the device setup and re-associate it with my icloud ID. I get the same problem as above. Furthermore if I try to disassociate from icloud on the device itself by selecting the > general > reset > reset all content and settings option. I am asked for my iCloud login as part of this and I get an error that the device cant connect to iCloud - or something similar.
Any ideas how I get around this, as I basically have an orphaned ipad entry (albeit erased - so none of my data is on it), associated with my iCloud account and I dont want this - obviously..
Thanks..

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried all that - but it makes no difference. Will see if speaking to apple support can help.

I bought a 2nd hand iPhone from Craig's list and it says I must put in the pervious owners Apple ID to activate it Help please

You will need to get the previous owner to remove it from their account. Until then it is useless.
Sorry

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.
