find the previous owner info (icloud)
Hi, how can I find the name and surname of the previous owner of my second hand iphone?
I have the apple ID, but find my iphone is on and I do not know password!
Thank you
You can't get from Apple or anyone here. You must contact the former owner, either through the person, you bought the phone you can not. Confidentiality issues prohibit Apple or the cellular carrier to release any of this information. If the person you bought isn't the former owner, then there is the possibility that the unit you have purchased has been stolen.

removal of the previous owners info
I recently bought a mbp 13 "used by a private party. machine without task with a lot of additional software that makes an exceptional purchase. problem that I had was that the owner allows out of his itunes or app store account. so I contacted him and he gave me his password (because he knows me and made me trust) and I did the thing of auth. Well, that didn't completely remove its footprint. It is always displayed as the account holder, etc., what I want to do is remove all traces of him form the machine without wiping the drive and reinstall OS x. any ideas? I'll sell this machine and doesn't want that one of his info on this yet keep the extra software. ")

Realize even if you delete the AppleID there are still traces of the former owner anywhere in the computer, especially if someone knows to go poking around. Your friend has confidence in your skills enough to eradicate all traces of his right to property?
Even if it was a good deal with "additional software", is that the licensed software? Unfortunately with the new mode of distribution of software through downloads, license transfer is not the way that it used to be where you have someone sold a set of CDs and software belong to them. The software tends to be linked to an individual, or at least their ID.
