Used iPad locked with old user.

How do I reset an I-Pad that is still connected to the previous user/owner?

If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPad for a refund if you can.
Regards.

  • How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

    plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
    There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
    But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
    Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

    Restore the iPad to out of the box configuration. This will erase all contents/settings on the iPad. Then set up using your ID and email info.

  • Ipad locked with someone else icloud

    ipad locked with someone else icloud

    Apple implemented an anti-theft feature called Activation Lock earlier this year.  It is described here:

    The former owner's Apple ID and password are required to use the iPad.  Without that, the iPad will be locked forever.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • Using KM APIs with Anonymous user

    Dear SDNites,
    I have gone thorough one of the SAP notes on possible CM scenarios with anonymous users. It says the the supported scenarios are Search, browse and download.
    My question is that can we use KM apis in these areas with anonymous users?  I got some documentation on KM Indexmanagement APIs for searching with TREX, which requires authenticated user. I am wondering is there any way to use those APIs with anonymous user access.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    if you access the KM via Web Service you'll find parameters in each service to send username and password.
    If you browse the KM reposiroties via http you may need to do an authentication first. If your portal accepts basic authentication (as it does by default) you may call the KM explorer iView with some URL like:
    http://<username>:<password>@<hostname>.<domain>:<port>/<path to KM iView>
    If this does not work, maybe you need to use a client that supports basic authentication (digest). This may be e.g. the OpenSourcer library [HttpClient|http://hc.apache.org/] from the Apache project.
    See [RFC2617|http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2617.html] for more details on Basic Authentication and Basic Authentication (digest).
    If you have some more questions, please come back.

  • Hi everyone, to use the portal with many users using the same portal user?

    I have an another question is possible to use the portal with many users using the same portal user with diferent roles in the same time?
    thanks

    Hi Israel,
    It is possible to have same user logged in through differnt terminals or browser windows. However if there are say 10 roles assigned to that user, all 10 will be visible in all the windows. However you may open and work on different roles.. in the different windows.
    Note that the real time collaboration features shall not be available if the same user logs in multiple times.
    Hope this is useful.

  • HT4798 I have a used mac book with the user id from the old user still on the system, how do I reset it to a new one?

    I have obtained a used MacBook that still has the previous owners User ID associated with it, how do I go about changing it to me so that all the necessary accounts to reflect my user rights?

    If you have a Used Mac that has the old user's account, then you also could have the old user's malware installed, which is collecting all your financial account information. Likely? Probably not. you want to take the chance?
    You should erase the drive completely and re-install the OS.
    If you don't want to do that, create a new user account, give it admin privileges, log into that account, and delete the old user's account.

  • Should I use screen lock with find my iPad.

    Im using a wifi only iPad, so if it is lost or stolen the finder or thief will need to be able to access my iPad and connect to a wifi signal before I can track it. I therefore think I should not use keypad lock so that I can allow them

    You don't have to use one, it's personal preference as to whether you use one or not - I use one on my iPad Mini as I prefer the feel of them compared to the glass screen, other people don't like or use them as they prefer the glass (and some screen protectors can affect the clarity of the screen). Depending upon where you will be using the iPad (e.g. if it's dusty or dirty) you may want one to give the screen a bit of extra protection.

  • IPad linked to old user email

    Hi,
    I got an iPad 3 sitting on my desk from last 1 year with broken screen and dents. i fixed it yesterday and want to update the software and try using it.
    it was asking me the pass code which i don't know. this iPad was used by one of our old employees who left the company and no idea where he was.
    i did restore the iPad in recovery mode and updated the IOS.
    Now i got another issue. this iPad was linked to the old user email and asking me to enter the same details. i don't have the details and don't even know where the employee currently located.
    how do i fix this issue. how do i unlink this iPad from that user account?
    please some one help me with this.
    thank you,

  • Ipad setup with multiple users

    A group of people are sharing an Ipad at the school I work at.  How should I set up the apple id/itunes password?  I have an apple id and a mac but not everyone who uses it does.

    With regard to what? The iPad isn't designed for multiple users in the way that you want to do it. If you switch ID's on the iPad and start downloading past purchases from different ID's, you will end up locking yourself out of some of those ID's for 90 days by associating the device with another ID.
    There is no way that you can sync the device to multiple computers either. You might want to read this.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    If you are sharing the iPad in order to read certain textbooks, or surfing the web - or been checking your personal email using a web browser where you can log in and out of you personal email accounts, that is fine for multiple users, but of you want to download content using different Apple ID's. that will create problems.
    If you just want to create one Apple ID for everyone to share and you are not going to sync to iTunes at all, just create a free email account that you can all use as the Apple ID email address with one password of your choosing.

  • Problem: Using iTunes 6 with multiple user accounts in XP

    I recently installed iTunes 6.0.0.18 as an upgrade in Windows XP Professional. After installing the software and a restart, I attempted to use iTunes with success as the Administrator. However as another user, iTunes when launched will prompt the user with the user license agreement. When the user accepts the agreement, iTunes never opens, however I have noticed that the hard drive where the music files are located is continually accessed. When logging out an "End Task" message pops up stating that Quicktime Helper Files are still being used.
    After the problem arose I attempted twice to completely uninstall iTunes, restart, cleanup the directories, reinstall, and then give all users full control permissions in both the directory structure of iTunes and the registry, with the exact same results.
    Currently I have no fix for this problem, but I suspect that it is an issue with the software (iTunes 6.0.0.18). I have since downgraded back to iTunes 5.0.1.4 and am not having any issues.

    Hello B,
    So I finally had time to download the latest version of iTunes (ver. 6.0.1.3) and install it (logged on as the Administrator account). Please note that during the install I did get an error message that stated something to the effect that "a program tried to access memory location XXXX which is "READ" only." I believe this to be the new memory lock "virus" deterrent system that Intel has recently introduced with the latest 64-bit processors and motherboards, (which I have) but I am only guessing. In any case the installer finished in the background without incident.
    After installing iTunes I launched it as the Administrator, and everything work just fine. I then logged off and logged in as my user account and attempted to run iTunes. I got the license agreement window, clicked "Accept" and nothing happened, but again I noticed that the Network card and my NAS were being accessed. I launched "services.msc" to check, as you suggested, to see if my QuickTime service had started. Much to my surprise the service was not listed. So I figured, well if there is such a service that needs to be launched then perhaps launching QuickTime would start this service, (still baffled to why the service is not listed in Windows Services). I launched QuickTime, and while leaving QuickTime open I then attempted to launch iTunes. Much to my surprise it started! I then closed both apps and have attempted to start iTunes several times since with success. A crazy fluke but, the steps listed above seemed to work for me. I can only hope that it helps others out who may be experiencing the same issue.
    So it seems that my issue has been resolved. Thank you for all your time and efforts on this matter, I do appreciate it.
