Hello!
So, I recently bought a second hand with 10 installed windows laptop.
After a few days, he stopped working and got 00x0000c14 error at startup.
I fully formatted using a disc of windows 7, and now I cant get it up and working properly.
It starts well on the desktop, but I can't get the installed network driver and so unable to connect to the internet.
In the windows.old folder, there are several drivers of all kinds. I can't install of these places. I tried and it doesn't seem to change anything.
I tried to download the configuration files and transfer them via my phone, but it has the same result as the drivers already installed in the old file win.
How can I get this laptop operational? Any direction is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to treat this as an opportunity to learn and not look at it as a negative circumstance, but if I can't get this to work laptop I'm in a bit of trouble, since I live in a country quite poor and cannot afford another PC.
Thank you! :)

Nothing. Unless the previous owner, clearing his account iCloud, he will remain in the lock of Activation for ever. It is totally unnecessary for you.

Nobody here can help, and Apple will not help you to overcome the blocking of activation. If the seller does not cooperate and remove the unit from their iCloud account, then you will never be able to use this device yourself.

I don't have any contact info for the former owner, what can I do?
If the iPhone requires an Apple ID and password from the previous owner to unlock: then nothing. Return it to where you bought it and demand a refund. The iPhone doesn't help you.
Otherwise, you will need to explain why you need the previous owner.

I want to reset my Air iPad and I don't remember my restriction code, how can I get it back
How can I recover my restriction code in my iPad Air? my current update system is 9.1
The only way to recover is to remember. If you can not then try recovery mode and iTunes from your computer to reset back to the default settings for iPad (you have copied everything you want to keep, photos, shopping, documents?), there are instructions to halfway to the bottom of this page: If you have forgotten the password for your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch , or your device is disabled - Apple supports.

Hey everybody,
This is my first post. A couple of years, I bought a used Macbook. I never did update (it is so long and then I decide to Watch youtube videos... it is not used for work or school). So now, I've updated the Yosemite and I want to get everything updated and it requires that I put a password of the former owner apple ID to update iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie. How can I get around this without reformatting and losing thousands of photos and all my files.
Thank you guys.
