Return focus to previous owner?

i want my application to return the focus to the application the focus belonged to previously.
for example the focus was on the internet explorer and then my application got the focus. now i want my application to return the focus to the internet explorer without having the user do that himself.

Minimize the main window of your application.

Sorry... There is no work around for Activation Lock
Suggest you Contact Best Buy and see what they can do for you.

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

My friend gave me a 2nd hand iphone 4S. The previous owner (not the person who sold it to me) has his phone connected to the computer I Cloud for Find My Phone. How can I change to my apple id and apple password to start using my phone?

Thank you for any light you can shine on this issue! LisaKaye

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

HT6154 Hi there, i have bought a iphone 4 from graiglist , and when i turned the phone on , its asking for the Apple ID for the previous owner which i do not have, but i have my own apple ID . WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. YOUR HELP PLEASE

**** there,

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

How can I bypass the previous owners password on my iPad?

I bought a second hand iPad 4th gen the other day. It looked to be ready for me to set up the iPad, but when I got homw to try it, there was a screen saying, "This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID (S*****@hotmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad." So my question is, how can I get by this? I don't have the sellers information, so I can't contact him.

Hotshotssnipe,
I sympathize with you. I'm in the same predicament right now. The person I purchased my iPad from won't respond to my queries. Everyone online will act like you are a thief. If half of them used their brains for a minute, maybe they could come up with one of many scenarios where you would be legitimately locked out of an iPad you legally purchased. In my case, the previous owner left all their personal items on the iPad and I went to erase all contents. It asked me for the Apple ID, I figured it was asking to return checked out books or something. Second time it didn't ask me and reformatted the iPad, but now I'm stuck at activation.
To answer JimHdk's question, Apple doesn't even show you the full email address. It's literally shown as S******@hotmail.com so you can't email that person.
This is a horrible idea on Apple's part. They should have made it painstakingly clear that you can't even "reformat" and activate the iPad without this ID. Especially since iOS7 is relatively young and no previous version of iOS had this feature. This will hurt legitimate users more than thieves. Even if, from all the people affected, only 10% are legitimate users, that's still a huge number. Apple should give us some other way to resolve this issue.

ICloud Lock: Does anyone know how to get the email address to show so that I could contact the previous owner? Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I've just recently bought a second hand iPhone 5s off of ebay for christmas. It's cost me £260.00 plus £8.00 delivery costs I have full proof of purchase including receipts and have also already rung apple's support team as well as taking the phone to local phone repair stores it's clear to me that I have no other options than to get in contact with the phone's previous owner but, I currently cannot view the whole email address even after making an appointment with apple in Westfield yesterday they were quite adamant about me contacting the previous owner but not sure how i'm going to do that when I can't see an email address displayed clearly on the activation screen.

If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you nor find the previous owner.
You should if possible return it to eBay or the seller and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless: the vendor has sold you a brick - I don't know whether eBay have a complaints procedure which might help you.

Second hand ipad locked to unknown previous owner

hi,i bought a second hand ipad 4,but it is locked with the previous unknown users id,is there anyway of resetting the ipad back to factory settings.many thanks

No. the iOS7 Activation Lock cannot be bypassed. You would need to get in touch with the previous owner to get their details. Otherwise return the device to the seller and demand a refund as the iPad is basically useless and should not be sold in that sate.

HT201441 How to setup iPad when the previous owner is not known?

The IT manager in my previous company helped me to set up my iPad initially. I have no contact with that person any longer. Now I have given my iPad to a friend but to set it up for my friend the iPad asks for the INITIAL ID and password of the person setting it up. I don't have this!
How can we do to bypass this requirement??
Thanks!

You can't do anything. You have a phone you can never use.
Your only option would be to return it to where you bought it and get a refund. Then when you next buy an iPhone, make sure that it has been properly wiped by the previous owner to avoid this situation again.

I purchased I movie on Feb.15th 2014, and now when I go to update it, it's showing the apple i.d. of the previous owner of this laptop from two years ago. I can't update it on my computer? Help?

If the tech didn't erase the Mac as I stated above, he hasn't properly prepared your Mac for a second hand owner. Nothing less that erasing the HDD and returning the Mac to the shipping version of OS X so you may set up the Mac as a new Mac will suffice. All Macs since the introduction of OS X lion have shipped with iLife apps from the Mac App Store installed for free. Prior to Lion, they shipped with the boxed version of the apps.
