Can I set up ipad 3rd generation before preparing my ipad 2 for sale?

I have a new iPad 3rd gen coming. Will it be ok to set up the new one with iTunes and install all my apps, software, settings etc before preparing my iPad 2 for sale?

The key is, back up your 2. As long as you do that full backup before you set up your 3, then your 3 will have the apps and data that was on your 2.
You dont' have to do them in a specific order. Paranoid person that I am, I'd make sure the backup and set up worked before I'd wipe my old one.

  • Going from ipad2 to ipad 3rd generation

    I've ordered the ipad 3rd generation and have a buyer for my old ipad2.  The old ipad2 will be long gone before the ipad 3rd gen arrives.  I want my old information to end up on my new unit but I also want to be sure I delete everything from the old unit before it leaves my hands.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    After you do the backup and wipe your old one, when you get the new one and plug it into iTunes to activate it you will be asked 'set up as a new iPad or restore from the backup of.......... iPad?' Choose the latter and all your apps etc transfer over.
    You'll need to reenter e-mail accounts and passwords etc, but most of it will move over seamlessly

  • IPad 3rd generation

    Everything is sharper on the iPad 3rd generation... but I need to know how to get the crisp white thst the iPad 2 displays. Te iPad 3 has a distinct or pronounced yellowish haze tone to white objects and affects all other colors as well. It is not the brightness ... I've tested that. Holding the iPad 3rd generation next to the iPad 2 ... the color difference is very noticeable and. renders images washed out!

    Many people have posted that the yellowish tint was a common problem when the iPad 2 was first released and was caused by the glue holding the screen to the rest of the unit. Supposedly the yellowish tint disappeared after a few weeks. If this is the case, the long an iPad site on the shelf the better the screen will look. But right now every iPad is probably sold right after it is manufactured. Those who manage to purchase units made earlier in the process as Apple built up their inventory. I purchased my iPad 2 well after it was first released and never saw a problem with the screen.
    For those concerned about this issue I would wait until a few weeks after the mad rush to buy the new iPad is over. Then go to an Apple store with your old iPad to compare with a unit that had been around for a while. Hopefully the problem will either be resolved by Apple or it will go away as units spend A little more time between manufacture and delivery to the buyer.

  • Can't restore iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)

    Model: iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)
    Non Jail-broken.
    I have tried to use iTunes to restore the iPad through restore mode and it gives me error 9 when using my Macbook Pro, and it gives me error 14 when using Windows 7 desktop. 
    I have good internet connection.  I have good USB cable (oem, plugged in directly into desktop tower/laptop). 
    I have also tried downloading previous firmware and using Shift click/option-command click on restore button via iTunes and choosing specific file to restore the iPad. 
    Anything else I can do to fix this iPad?
    Doing research on error codes on Apple's website: 
    error 9:  security error?
    error 14:  usb cable error?
    I am not sure why these codes are coming up...
    How can i get iTunes to complete the restore process.  I dont care about any of the data that was on the iPad.  All my photos are on cloud and backed up on Macbook Pro via iPhone.  It was all synced prior to this happening to the iPad...

    Hello TonyTechSupport,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot error 14 in iTunes.
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete 1copy

    Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
    Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?

  • Does anyone know how I can get skype (video call) to work on Ipad 3rd generation

    I have tried to make a video call through Skype to a business relation (who did not have the possibility to use Facetime) on Ipad 3rd Generation. Did this using the most recent Skype app (which claims to have been updated for the Retina display). The app works all rigt, but the video doesn't. That is: I can see myself, but the other person can't. And I cannot see the other person. What have I done wrong?
    Regards, Koos Woltjes, Netherlands.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • HT204409 Can't determine my location with my iPad 3rd generation using Wi-Fi??

    Hi there,
    Can't determine my location with my iPad 3rd generation using Wi-Fi??
    I did all the common troubleshoots as reboot the device, check if it works with other devices (checked with iPad 4th generation works fine)...elc.
    Please Advice.

    Wifi-only iPads do not do a good job of finding location. Their location depends on the location of the wifi router they are connected to being registered in an online database. If you wnat better location results you need an iPad with GPS (iPad wifi +3G) model.

  • HT5163 I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.

    I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.
    i need one very urgently for my day to day work. Can anyone suggest from where I can get a new piece(boxed) on or before 11 March 2013? As this is already launched in India in Jan month, but still not available with retailers, might be because of less demand of this very product.
    Any help will be much appriciated.
    Waiting for some clue.

    The 3rd Generation iPad does not come in 128GB capacity, only 16, 32, and 64GB capacities.
    The 4th generation iPad does come in 128GB capacity.
