Why can I not register my used iPad mini to my account? states still registered to previous owner, even when its not??

I purchased a used ipad mini, still under warranty. despite previous owner removing the device from his apple account, when I go to register the ipad mini to my account, apple states the device is still listed under previous owner. Previous owner has gone into his account and the ipad mini has been removed? what to do

Contact the Apple suport number for your location from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask for their help is getting this registration straightened out...you will probably need to be able to send them proof of purchase for the iPad Mini.

Is it lost or stolen?
Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Register network - even when its not in range

I bought a Macbook Pro for my in-laws, who aren't tech savvy and live in pretty far away.
Is there a way that I can set up the Macbook Pro to recognize their wireless network, even though its not in range?
I have the network details, since its own my own laptop. Any possible way?

I don't quite understand what you mean by that but you can do the following. in network preferences->airport click on advanced->airport and check the box to remember networks this computer has joined. then when you are connecting to a network for the first time check the box to remember the password in the keychain (I do hope you password protect the network). then airport will automatically connect to this network any time it's in range.

Why can't i restore my new ipad-mini from my iphone?

I have so far spent 2 hours on the phone to Apple support trying to resolve this problem. I have backed up my iphone5 onto itunes and then tried to restore that backup onto my new ipad mini but it doesn't want to know. We tried uninsalling itunes and re-installing it to no avail.
I can restore a limited backup from icloud but it won't transfer any settings like my e-mail account details.
Can anyone help please?

HT5887 Why can't I Airdrop between my iPad Mini and my MacBook Pro Retina?

I recently bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina. Turned on airdrop to link with my iPad Mini (1st version) running iOS 7.0.4. They do not recognize each other. Why does NOT all Apple devices work seamlessly with one another???!!! I have an iPhone 4 that cannot Airdrop with my iPad Mini, and now I have a MacBook Pro Retina that does not Airdrop with any of my Apple devices! That is SO frustrating! Has anyone else experienced this INCOMPATIBILITY between Apple devices?

i have the same issue with my macbook air and now my ipad 4th gen and my iphone 5. nothing connects to nothing. dont see this problem with android....wondering if im doing something wrong

Purchased a used ipad. Don't know apple ID of the previous owner.

I just purchased an iPad from someone. I don't know the Apple ID of the previous owner and I cannot contact him. Is there any way that I can remove the previous account that was used to setup the iPad?

I powered it on, and it just asks for the language and country, then I connect it to WiFi, but it asks for the username and password of the Apple ID that was used to set it up. I can't see anything like "Find my iPad".
It's locked, you can not use it unless you unlock it. That requires the ID and password that was used to lock it.

Why is Safari quitting unexpectedly, even when its not open?

Safari is constantly quitting, even when Safari is not even open. When I do open it, I can normally use one website and then it quits again. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

safari will not even be opened or running in the background and i will still get the error message that "Safari has quit unexpectedly" and my options are reopen browser, close, or report.
lately, upon immediately opening Safari, i am prompted this message, no matter what website I travel to.

SUS says client software up to date even when its not

Hi Everyone,
I configured SUS today on a recently updated Leopard Server (10.5.7) and waited until it downloaded 258 updates. Initially I have turned all the updates on and made them available.
I then went to a workstation that was telling me it was in need of updates, and in terminal did the sudo defaults write command. I then ran Software Update on the workstation and was surprised to see it report that the software was up to date. It showed my internal IP number on the menu bar, so I know it was looking to the internal SUS I had set up.
My first thoughts were that since this was a Leopard machine, it may have downloaded the updates in the background and was therefore not recognizing that they had not yet been installed. I went into Library/Updates and deleted all but index.plist and retried Software Update with the same result. I then went into /Library/Preferences again and deleted the edited com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, which then rebuilt itself when I launched software update again, this time of course looking to Apple's site rather than to my server. And the 5 required updates showed up again.
I tried this same process on 4 other machines in the network (various types and systems from 10.4.6 to 10.5.5) with similar results -- all gave me feedback that the computers were up to date and no updates were available.
I suppose I should be happy -- no updates to do ever again!!! Can anyone shed light on why the server would be giving me this message when in fact there are a number of updates that I know are needed?
thanks, Dave

Thanks for the hint re OpenDirectory. I'm sure we'll proceed down that road once we have it initially working.
since I have several similar servers at my locations, I configured another one the same as this, using the IP address as the http URL. In the case of the second setup it worked fine and deployed updates correctly, so it isn't a name resolution issue.
Going back over my first install, though, There was a point during the process where the server was rebooted, and I believe this was before all the updates were downloaded from Apple. After the reboot, I noticed that all the downloads did indeed show as being in place and enabled, which strikes me now as way too quickly compared to the time it took at the second location. So I've concluded that perhaps I have a faulty download and the files are not really there.
Is there any way to confirm, or better yet a way to just wipe them all and force start the download process fresh from Apple?
thanks folks.

Photoshop says its already installed even when its not.

If anyone could help that would be great.

I bought and downloaded Pages on my iPAD- why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a way to simply share the app?

I bought and downloaded PAGES on my iPAD. Why can't I seem to use it on my iMAC? Isn't there a simple way to just share it from my iPAD to my iMAC?

As stevejobsfan said. But also if your profile is correct and you are running system 10.7 on your iMac, you will not have much portability between the two either. Think of them as 2 different programs that just happen to have the same name.
OS 10.9 Mavericks' version of Pages has greater compatibility with the app version of it. But there are a lot of consequences to moving to Mavericks which should not be done lightly. Read around a bit on it before making any decision to upgrade.

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

Because...!
I've no idea why either.
Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?
