1.	Solve : Selling iPad 2?
Answer» I would like to sell our iPad2 but wonder if that is allowed by Apple or if there are pitfalls? I have never sold a used computer. I have erased all contents using the iPad reset function and it is ready (I think) to be set-up by a new user. I saw one for sale on eBay and description said iCloud was locked. What does that mean? Thanks.If you've reset everything then you are fine to sell it, nothing wrong with doing that at all. The iCloud lock ones are ones that have an iCloud account attached to them where the seller doesn't know the password, as you can imagine you should probably avoid BUYING ones as they are likely stolen.etcQuote from: camerongray on May 06, 2017, 05:54:27 AM If you've reset everything then you are fine to sell it, nothing wrong with doing that at all.

Listing actually says "for parts only". I BELIEVE Apple will help you unlock if you can PROVE you are legit. I have my original receipt with model and serial number so I am good to go. Thanks for your help.I sold it! Two quick questions to be sure I have completely scrubbed it before I ship. When I reset using "Erase all contents and settings", are all apps I installed (as opposed to Apple system apps) also erased? If not, will any of my info on those apps still be there? I have it ready to go but wonder if I need to set it up to delete apps and then do one more complete reset.

I am confident that iPad is wiped clean but now I may have a new problem. I included a copy of my receipt in the eBay description as proof I am original owner. In READING various articles re unlocking iPads, it occurred to me that new owner could go to Apple with receipt and perhaps get access to my iCloud password, etc. Is this possible? Should I call Apple?
