Used iPad, new owner, can't clear it & log in my ID.

I was given a used iPad. I need to reset it for my own Apple ID. I don't have their restriction code. How do I do this?
The answer I found so far in the archives pointed me to the General/Reset/Erase All content and Settings buttons, but a Passcode screen popped up and I had to stop after 2 failed guesses. Former owner, who is 90, had it set up by her daughter. Her daughter set it up with her own account ID, etc. I emailed her to ask for the Passcode, but if she doesn't know it, I don't know how to proceed. I signed into iCloud, but when I go to open that, it asks for my password only, with her iCloud ID already input and no way to input mine instead.
I was able to change the iCloud sign in to my own account, so I don't want to accidentally erase that.
I am writing this on my laptop. Please help, if only to link me to a better archived answer. Thank you.

If the original owner cannot remember the password and cannot erase the device for you, then it is now and always be useless. There is nothing that you can do now to make it yours if she can't remember the passcode to erase it.
This is what the original owner needs to do.

Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling but new owner can't log into apple keeps asking for old( mine) Apple id

Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling
New owner can't sign into his Apple ID keeps asking for old (mine) Apple ID
Thought would have erased with resetting iPad

Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

I bought a used iPad,and I can't download apps due to old owners apple Id.how do I remove old so mine is primary?

I bought used iPad 2.i cannot download
Apps from store because old owners apple I. D is still there. How do I remove and replace with mine?

You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Stores if it's not on iOS 6). You can then remove all of the previous owner's content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings - their content will be tied to their id, so only their id will be able to download updates to those apps.
You can then log in to your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores

I sold ipad2 verizon 3g but new owner can't register it under his name

I bought an ipad2 with verizon 3g. I never used the verizon connection nor ever registered it with verizon. I sold the ipad to a guy. He is trying to register it to verizon so he can use their 3g network but it tells him that it is still registered to me. I spoke with verizon and they said it is not registered, and never was, under my verizon account. I caled Bestbuy, where I purchased it and they said to contact apple. I have tried repeatedly to contact apple to change the registration and all I have been told was the new owner just needs to log into register.apple.com. He has already done that before even contacting me. Any way to transfer ownership of the ipad to someone else so they can use it?

Yes, he went to a Verizon store. They were the one that told him to contact me to "disconnect" my service. I told him not only did I not have service on it, I never registered it - with Verizon or apple. Verizon says they cannot even locate the product in their system to do anything if they could.
If anyone has been successful at this I would appreciate any advice. Flaming isn't proving your superiority in any way.

My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a iPad air. Can we use iPad together or can we only set up for one?

My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a new iPad air. Can we set it up for both of us or should we give it it's own setup separate from our phones?

It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

HT5625 Here's my story: I "signed out" of my account on my IPAD. Then I DID NOT hit "create a new ID" - I simply filled in the top information with new email and password (the ipads new owner) - this got all set up but now when it wants to update anything

I gave my second IPAD to a friend.
I also recently changed the email associated with my own account
because I will be moving and will be unable to use that address much longer...
now I am not yet sure I can update my own apps (will it ask for old email and password?)
on the given IPAD - with the new Apple ID and password it is asking for
my present but soon to be disabled email with password - but it does not
recognize the password (i dont think it will recognize it when i upgrade as well!)
QUESTION
How do I straighten this mess out to be able to update all future apps on two
iphones and two ipads each having one different their separate Apple IDs?
and how can I get it to recognize the password that was at one time associated
with that email address
WSD

Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If your friend wants to be able to manage apps on their device using their own Apple ID, they will need to delete all the apps purchased using your Apple ID and buy their own.
Hopefully, you just updated your own Apple ID with the new email and didn't make the mistake of creating a new Apple ID. If you created a new ID, stop using it now, don't buy anything using it and go back and update the ID under which you purchased your apps.

I know Apple will buy back a used iPad but I can't find the site.

when I bought my new iPad, the salesman showed me a site on the Apple website where I could find out how much Apple would give me (in credit, I think), but I can't find it again. Anyone know?

Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

Using Ipad mini safari can't open google server

WIFI connection is OK. connection with Skype OK
Can't reach google.fr with safari
thanks for help

Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad and try again.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT201441 i bought used ipad now i can't activate it and i lost the phone number of a seller **** no way to activate???

can anyone help me??????????????????

Welcome to the Apple community.
Sorry, unless you can contact the previous owner there is nothing you can do.

Audio only when using iPad with Safari: can I view live streaming video via Safari?

I only get audio on streaming broadcasts when I click on the AirPlay Icon in the progress bar? Can anyone help me get the video to display as well?

Websites have to have content in compatible format AND also need to allow video streaming - if both conditions are not met then Airplay will often give sound only.
If iPad 2 try turning on full mirroring (Home button twice, swipe all way to right, Airplay and set Mirroring slider to on).

Extracting music from older (not iCloud compatible) iPod- old PC was damaged & I want to be able to add/ remove songs using my new PC (can't unload software properly- PC damaged beyond repair).

I have an old iPod that was associated with a PC that has been destroyed (I didn't unload iTunes from it before it was damaged). I know that if I plug the iPod into my new PC, it will erase all of my old material.
Is there a way to extract the material from my old iPod, load it onto my new PC, and be able to manage my music & keep it on my iPod?
I have an iPhone, but do not want to load all of the music onto that; my iPod (though older) still works perfectly fine. I just need to be able to add/ remove songs, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Itunes tells me I am using a new computer, can't download

Itunes tells me that I'm accessing from a new computer or device.when I try to edit my credit card info in "STORE/"VIEW MY APPLE ID...." The card expired 3 months ago but when I try to update it it tells me the info does not match their records. I have authorized this computer several times. I have not been able to make any purchases. For the record the "C" drive is a clone of the prior disk. I have Acronis & every 3 months or so I clone my C drive to another drive, place the clone in the pc & save the original. Itunes might see the clone as another pc although I've done this many times.

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Using iPad (6.01), can't run videos requiring Adobe Flash Player (AFP). When I try to download the AFP sw, I receive a msg stating that AFP is not supported by my device, though it is supported by Apple Desktops & mobile devices! Any suggestions?

gghh

There is no Flash Player for iOS devices. Adobe has to make a Flash player for each different computing platform. Just because Flash exists for Mac and Windows computers, does not automatically mean it exists for completely different mobile operating systems.
Adobe ceased development of Flash for all mobile devices way back in November 2011. It has even been removed from Android devices as of August 2012.
Flash on mobile is dead.

How Can I clear UCCX logs

I would like to clear the call logs from the UCCX.

Hi,
You can use the RTMT (Real Time Monitoring Tool) to delete the log file from the server.
Login to RTMT. Go to Trace and Log central -- Collect Files.
Select the specified logs which you need to delete. When you proceed next, choose the timestamp for which you need to delete.
On the same window, you will see an option "Delete Collected Logs from the Server". This is unchecked by default. You will need to check this and proceed.
This will remove the specified logs, for the particular time frame from the server.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Arundeep
