Recently purchased an ipad gen2 from a pawn shop. (yes i have reciept) the original owner is still linked to itunes/store account and i cant enter my new account to access ipad. help?
i recently purchased an ipad from a pawn shop. the original owner is still linked to itunes/store. I do not know who the original owner is, and i have a new Apple id that i can use. Unfortunately, the ipad wont let me enter my info until this device is separated from the original owners account. Help???
was on the phone with Apple last night, Saturday. had a technician that was helping me, but upon 10:00central time.....disconnected. They said i had to show legal proof of purchase. (which i have) Gonna call 'em back on Monday and see what happens......... just thought someone might know a trick to removing this old user.

I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner. I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated. Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?
I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items. I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin. I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to. I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else. However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

how do i associate a different apple ID with my ipad? I need to do this bc my gmail account was hacked and a hoax email sent out from it. so i opened a new gmail account and want to associate this new email with my ipad
To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge. -

I just tried to print off some itunes advice but my computer froze. I re-booted it and ran the ipod diagnostic test again to get back to the screen I was on. This time "Secure Link to i tunes store failed" AND "i tunes helper not running" both appeared. Please help, all I can see is "Appears in Windows but not iTunes" at the top of the screen. Even though I only vaguely know what that means, I don't think that's the help I need.

I am trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 6, but I don't have the Software Update option. I only have About and Usage. How can I update?
In order to update from an IOS earlier than 5.0, you have to hook it up to the computer you sync with to do so.
Once you have updated, you will see the software update option on your settings. But this feature was not introduced until 5.0...
Cheers,

I got "secure link to itunes store failed" during a diagnostic test. unable to access itunes store and nothing i do works.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have tried to Restore it but it is not woking.
Check back with the people that were running the swap meet, or the person that you purchased from. If you cannot make contact with the original owner, you will not be able to activate the device. It will be useless to you.

I have purchased Aperture since version 1. I have lost the original disk
I have purchased all versions of Aperture since version 1. I have lost the original disk and since downloading an update that required the serial number, I cannot use the program.
What is the solution to this problem?Green,
I had the same problem. I had misplaced the serial number for 1.5 and I needed it to reinstall the Aperture 3 upgrade. In addition, I no longer had the disc image for Aperture 3.
Originally, I downloaded the trial of Aperture 3 as an upgrade and then paid for it. This was before it went to the Mac App Store. I had previously bought the hard copy of Aperture 1.5 and then the hard copy upgrade to 2.0.
This is a testament to buying direct from Apple. With a little proof that I indeed bought the product from them, they provided me with a working serial number. I bought Aperture 1.5 from the Apple Store, Soho in New York, and when the transaction was complete I got an email of the receipt. That receipt number is what entitled me to receive this support from Apple. They sent me a link to the disk image for Aperture 3.1, from which I installed Aperture on a fresh hard disk, and then they sent me a working serial number for 1.5, which allowed me to complete the installation. Afterward, I opened Software Update and updated to Aperture 3.2.3. Done!

How to get the apple ID from the original owner?
i were given the iphone from second-hand, but i can not contact the original owner to have them remove this device from their account. because i reset this device i using iOs 7. please help me, how can i use this iphone?
Sorry, you can't. You now own a useless device, except if you want to use it as a paperweight. Apple can't/won't help you, and without the original Apple ID, there is no way to activate the phone.

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now... -
I am a Brit living in Germany. I really need to be able to purchase from the German iTunes Store (in €) and the English one (in £). How can I set this up from my iPad?
Technically correct (the best kind of correct)
Now if the Op has and retains a UK account with billing address and UK paymant card - He/She can continue to use the UK store in Germany - Apple does NOT use IP address blocking just a valid paymant card attached to a postcode !
Basically the first four of your paymant card are country codes.
What the op needs to do if he/she now has a Germany address and payment method (could just be German € value gift cards) is to open a separate German iTunes Account !
On a PC/Mac its very easy to change stores, however iOS has it a bit more difficult.
In fact i would recommend the Op sets up a new German account and credentials on a PC/Mac first.
And doing so just means opening the store in iTunes scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking on the littler circular flag in the bottom right.
After that the browser window is populated with loads of similar disc flags. Clicking any take you to that regional store where provided you have a valid address (Postcode/Zipcode actually) and payment method local credit/debit some prepayment VISA cards or just a gift card you can create a local account.
Oh and because Apple do NOT use IP addressing you don't actually have to be present in the country of that store. Its against to terms of the EULA but it works !
Back to the iOS device
Tap Settings/iTunes & App Store /Apple ID (that will probably be showing the UK account set up).
In the window that opens tap log out
Now change the ID to the new German name and password and in the next window make sure the flag selected is that of Germany (when in Germany)
When buying from the UK store follow that path again log out of the German account and re-log in using the UK ID
As it happens I have a UK Portuguese and US account all active because I have residences in all three - and can visit any of the stores from anywhere.
