Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. May I know if you are on the screen where it is asking you for the Apple ID and password of the previous owner to activate the iPod?

I'll be waiting for your response.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. You can delete the information on the iPad by erasing all the content and settings. However, if the iPad is asking for the Apple ID and the password of the previous owner to activate it you need to contact the seller so they can assist you on activating the iPad. There only way to activate the device is to use the Apple Account information of the previous owner.

May I know if you can still access the Home screen of your iPad where you can see the icons?

I'll be waiting for your response.

HI,

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. If your Internet Explorer is crashing it is not because of a virus. It is either you have a problem with your browser or with your Operating system. I can help you to fix it and help you reset the iPad.

I'll be waiting for your response.
