What do you mean when you say you "get it from South Africa to Saudi Arabia?"


If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.


Another form of Activation Lock is when a stolen iPad is locked by its former owner via Find My iPad. There is no way around these locks. Buy an iPad from a reputable dealer.
