Buying new Ipad, getting rid of old one.

I am just about to buy a new Ipad. I want to give my old Ipad to a friend. So do I simply backup the old one to Icloud, restore the new one from the cloud, and then reset the old one and hand it over? I want to preserve my data and apps.

Yes. Backup to iCloud. When you get the new one you will be given the option to restore from iCloud backup.
Then you can wipe it clean:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings

I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband. How do I change the Apple ID over to him. We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

UPDATING CONTACTS ON IPOD, GETTING RID OF OLD ONES

I'm on my third iPod (stop improving them Apple!), but I'm having some trouble synchronising my contacts in Outlook with iTunes onto my iPod. Basically, I've saved all my contacts as vcards and put them onto my iPod, but all the old contact entries I put on previous iPods still appear on my new iPod so I have 2 or even 3 entries for most people, and I can't get rid of the old ones. When I go into the iPod's disk drive I can see all the new contacts, but not the old ones, but they're there when I look on my iPod!
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the old contacts?
Thanks,
Rob.

If you're manually putting the vcards on your iPod,
then iTunes is still syncing your old contacts.
Open up iTunes and go to your iPod Preferences, (In
iTunes right click on your iPod and go to
Preferences) and go to the iPod tab. Make sure that
Sync Contacts is not checked and then resync. You
might have to recopy those Vcards into your iPod.
Hope that helps,
AL
Thanks for the reply - have done what you suggested. I now have 2 copies of every contact on my iPod. I guess this is a slight improvement over before seeing as then I had different contacts having 1,2,3 or even 4 entries with new or old info in them. I'm still baffled as to why i've got two copes of each contact though - looking in the contact folder on the ipod I can only see one entry for each contact...
Any ideas?
Rob.

I restored my new iPad 2 from my old one and the 2 games I play most are missing. Any suggestions?

I Restored my new iPad 2 from my old iPad and everything came across except my 2 favorite games which I play all the time..I dont want to download the games as I will lose my score. Any suggestion?

Apparently those apps and their data were not in the backup file that you used to setup your new iPad.
If you still have the old iPad you could take a new backup and restore your new iPad from this new backup.
If this is not possible you can still download the apps from the App Store at no charge but you will have to start over on these games.

I seem to have more than one apple ID. How can I get rid of old ones?

I seem to have more than one apple I D. Apple keep rejecting my password so I create new one. iPhone still seemd to use original ID. Apps get attached to old IDs. Can't log into game centre on old ID or use my nickname. Says its already in use! By me!

Roger. Can you drop in to HT4436 Multiple iCloud accounts on OS X: Apple Support Communities and see if you can help the OP? Thanks,

Have two copies of flash player in add-ons file --- latest and old one --- how to get rid of old one....

In reviewing and updating add-on using add-on manager the manager screen shows two copies of adobe flash player --- 11.9 latest version and and old version 9.0....... How do i get rid of the 9.0 entry. The plug in for 9.0 doesn't show up in my control panel for installed programs.
Thanks.
Also of what value is the java deployment tool kit.

(1) You should be able to uncover the location of the other plugin from the '''about:plugins''' page (type or page about:plugins into the address bar and press Enter).
(2) If it ''doesn't'' show there for some reason, on 32-bit Windows, Firefox generally finds the Flash Player plugin using registry entries that point into the Windows folder:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
The plugin files have the name following the pattern npswf...dll and the most recent should have a name similar to NPSWF32_11_9_900_152.dll. Can you find the old one there and delete it?
(3) If the obsolete DLL file is not located there, either, it may have been dropped into the Firefox program folder. On 32-bit Windows, you could check for it here:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\plugins
(4) Still not found? In that case, you might need to look into the Windows registry for the information.

Buying a new iPad and selling my old one.

I currently have an iPad 2 16Gb wifi, and I'm upgrading to a retina 4th gen same spec, a work colleague is buying my old iPad and I was wondering how I go about resetting my iPas 2 so he can register it?

Hey dray67
All you would need to do is restore the iPad, and then the other person goes through the setup process. The article below will give the steps to take care of it for you.

Cant get rid of old Apple ID

I am trying to get my iCloud set up on a macbook air (2012) as I am about to upgrade my phone to a 6 and want to make sure everything will sync correctly. I have updated to OS X Yosemite and that is all working fine as far as I can see.
I keep getting popup boxes on my screen saying "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my old email address]. Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem " This refers to 2 old apple ID's I had (as I changed emails I thought I had updated them on the system but for some reason my computer is still registering the old ones not the current one). When I click on 'open iCloud preferences' I am not able to deselect the incorrect apple ID and put in the current one. There is only a prompt for a password that I don't know anymore.
It is worth pointing out that this is not a problem from the updating to Yosemite as was happening before I updated.
I have registered an iCloud account for my new Apple ID and this seems to be fine I just can't seem to get rid of the old one or these pop ups. I have read that you cannot merge ID's or get rid of old ones permanently.
My main worry is that in deleting the old Apple ID's I may loose music that I bought with those old ID's.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Hi,
I read the links you provided and this hasn't helped. I have already updated my Apple ID to my current email address and can log in no problem.
My problem is that I keep getting pop ups on my screen "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my old email address]. Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem " This refers to 2 old apple ID's I had prior to the current one.
My questions was not how to amend my details (I can do that) but how do I get rid of this pop up and why is it happening?

When i start a new email, it shows all of my old contacts. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses. how to do that?

Why would you keep creating new accounts?
Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

IPad started saying no sim a week after warranty expired, new sim doesn't work. Apple store said nothing they can do I have to buy new iPad. Surely this cannot be true, it's only a year old on a 2 yr 3G contract please please help

iPad 2 started saying no sim, exactly 1 yr old. Went to get new sim which also failed to work, seemed to be a Lot of people experiencing same problem. 3 store said apple knows its an issue. Tried everything suggested in forums, took it to apple store for full restore. Nothing helped. Apple store said I had to buy new iPad as mine was 10 days out of warranty. Please help, surely this. Can't be the case. I thought apples customer service and products were good. I am fixed into a 2 yr 3 g contract with a year to go.

Hi Debbie, it was a nightmare tried 3 new sim cards non worked. Apple refused to help as it was 10 days out of warranty and i hadnt extended the warranty I hunted Internet and asked couple of American techie guys from my geeks . It seemed to be issue with latest iOS upgrade and my problem happened after I upgraded to its 5.1.1 eventually I had to sit in Apple store with printout of all other affected users. It seemed Americans had been offered new iPads and problem was being acknowledged but not here. Although network providers said they had a lot of customers with same issue. I did get new iPad after long battle and had to pay for extended warranty. Good luck

Have new iPhone 5s and older iPad ( looking to buy new iPad ) question for both is should I hook them up to y computer and back up the computer on each devise and sink and than the next one. The second question is should I do the I pad first cause it has photos in my email that have not been downloaded and it is one of or is the first model

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
