Syncing used ipad with old user's account

I just had a friend give me their old ipad when they bought a new ipad2.  I'm having trouble using iTunes because it still sees his account info when trying to sync or move files to the ipad under my account.  How do I get rid of the friend's account info so I can get iTunes to accept my info and sync?

What you are entitled to is the MBP and the original OS that the MBP came with which is Lion and the associated applications. 
In order to install Lion, you will have to boot your MBP with the OPTION COMMAND R keys held down.  That will connect you to the Apple servers and they will check your MBP.  A 4 option menu will appear.  Select the Lion installation option and install Lion. 
Now your MBP will be registered in your name and you may open your own Apple account.  If you want Mt. Lion, then you will have to purchase it from the Apple online store.
Ciao.

  • Syncing new ipad with old

    how do i get data from old ipad to new ipad?

    If you sync and backup with iTunes.....
    Transfer all purchases into iTunes, backup your old iPad and sync with iTunes one last time. Then plug in the other iPad, restore from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes in order to put all of your apps, photos, music, movies, etc, on the device. The data is contained in the backup, but your media resides in your iTunes library.
    If you have gone PC free and you only use iCloud.....
    Backup the old iPad one last time and then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad when you are presented with that option during activation. All of your data and content will download onto the iPad when you restore from the iCloud backup.

  • Syncing 2 ipads with different users

    I play in a band using ipads ( 3rd gen) I want to sync the ipads (2) so we can share the same music simultaneously and change music using either as the control. Possible?

    I said nothing about Airdrop.  I said sync the two devices to the same computer.
    One iPad can not sync directly to another iPad for any purpose whatever.  However, as I am suggesting here, multiple iPads/iPods/iPhones can sync (wirelessly or via cable) to the same computer.

  • Syncing Ipad with old account

    I have had to create a new ITunes account. When I try to sync my Ipad with the windows PC it does not take over all the songs from my PC. Is this because I have songs on my PC from two different accounts?

    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.

  • How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

    I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer.  I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library.  The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I am trying to sync my Ipad 2 to my Itunes account on my laptop.  It will only sync my purchased music.  All of my personal CD music that is on the account is grayed out with a red circle at the end.  Please help.

    Did you select all of the music to sync by clicking on the playlists or albums or whatever you use in iTunes - in order for them to sync? Or did you click on Entire Music Library if you want all of your music on the iPad?

  • How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad?  I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

    No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • I would like to set up an older iPad with a new messages account so it can be used by my kids.  I don't, however, want to lose the apps or music that are on the iPad. Can I change only the Messages "account"?

    Thanks. I had tried that, but was still having problems. Then I realized that I was using three addresses on both devices.  Once I changed it to only one email on one iPad and a different email on the other, it worked great. Your message encouraged me to dig deeper and think differently. It worked. Thanks again!
