Question

updating Apps on second hand Ipad without previous owners password

I purchased an Ipad from a friend who bought it new. I find I cannot update some Apps he had installed without his password. How can I do this without losing the Apps.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 7.1.2, second hand

Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. Your friend should have wiped it before giving it to you: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can't; those applications are tied to his Apple ID.
