So I bought the contents of an abandoned retail space in a liquidation auction . In the office there were two iPad pros . I have been looking into how to remove the original owners Apple ID so I can reset. I did not know that if you are not the original owner you canโt do anything with an Apple product?? I thought that showing proof of the purchase and inventory list from the sale would suffice but there doesnโt seem to be any process to this. I have contacted Apple twice and a couple of computer stores . Tablets havenโt been accessed in like 5 yrs but feels weird to just throw them away. Is there really no way to unlink their Apple ID ?
No way
Theyโre basically parts value if you canโt get the original owner to do the thing. Throw it up on eBay someone might buy it for parts.
Give it back
Correct. This deters theft. Unlinking Apple ID is done deliberately by the account owner
