Apple Ipad2 32GB Wifi Logo
Posted on Nov 27, 2013

I bought a locked ipad2.

I paid $250 for it on craigslist. It was on and working when I got it. He said he reset the info on it. When I turned it on after I got home, it asks for icloud account user information. I tried to start an account but it wants specific user information and won't unlock without it. I called the police and they checked and it has not been reported stolen. They couldn't help me with the ipad but they said they'll investigate the seller. Now I need to know how to really reset the ipad so I can set it up to use. I am pretty new to Apple products and this is my first personal ipad.

    Under worst case senario use a small part of the jailbreak software - like tiny umbrella, which will wipe the system- once booted, you can factory restore from iTunes and you be fine. This kinda stuff (apple) is what I do for a living...

Your best shot is to find the person who sold it to you and ask to disable Find my iPad.

    It depends entires on the lock? If it was activated by the "find my ipad" system, those became pretty bullet proof in the last system.

How to get siri on ipad2 ios 8.1.2

How to configure Siri
  1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap on General.
  3. Tap on Siri.
  4. Tap on Language to change languages and dialects.
  5. Tap on Voice Feedback to choose whether Siri always talks back to you, or only when in Handsfree mode.
  6. Tap **My Info* to select your Contact card so Siri knows who you are, what your numbers are, and what your locations are. This lets you say things like "Call home." or "Give me directions to work."
  7. Toggle Raise to Speak to have Siri pop up whenever you bring your iPhone to your ear, and you're not on a call. This may drain your battery faster than if it were disabled.

Reset apple id

It seems that every time I answer a question about iPad these days; the answer is the same..
There is not much you can do.
Unless you have the info on the other user.
Guess 'ya haven't.
SO - Take it to your local Apple Store!
And explain to them what you need fixed.
They'll help you out!
( And a secret Hint for 'ya - Stay clear of of Craigslist! Just a hint. ).
