I bought an Ipad mini with retina display from someone and now have my own Id but their name and password are on the appstore icon. How do I put my own name and password so I can download and purchase apps? Or should I delete the appstore app and download a new one?
iOS 7.1.2, ipadmini with retina display
Tell them to ensure that Find my iPhone is off for that device and then restore it.

You will have to get the previous owner to remove his/her Apple ID and password because that person has to logout of the Stores. Also, if the iCloud Find My has been turned on only that person can turn it off.
That person doesn't remember the password. If I turn off the iCloud Find my...can I do something with that?
When I go to Settings and ITunes and App stor it shows my id; however all updates are linked to previous owner. Owner does not remember password. Where in settings do I turn off Find my Iphone and how will that help me
How do I do that? I am just beginning with this thing. Any more info would help

You can only turn it off if you have the password, so you must rely on the person you bought it from. If he can't or won't remove it from his account it is of no use to you and you should return it get your money back.
The previous owner must either: remove the Apple ID and password from the device, or login to the iCloud account and remove the device from the listing in Find My Phone.
The previous owner can get or change the password for the Apple ID by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
The apps on the device that were installed by the previous owner are permanently tied to that person's Apple ID and cannot be transferred. All you can do is delete them and download again under your Apple ID so they belong to you.
Thank you ...it worked
You are very welcome, good to hear you were successful.
