Change ownership of iPad 2

Bought a new iPad and gave the other one (iPad 2) to a friend.  How do I change the main iCloud account information to a new person?  I also need to remove all my email accounts.   By changing the main account, will the new person lose all of their current bookmarks, etc?

You should erase the device like Diavonex described for you and then you should let your friend set up his iCloud account on the iPad after you give it to him. When you erase the device, it will remove all traces of everything that you had on the iPad, including your email accounts, personal information, .... Everything will be gone.
So then why would you need to change the "main" account on his iPad? He should be using his own iCloud account. If your friend backs up with iCloud and has his bookmarks backed up in his own iCloud account, he can simply restore the iPad from his iCloud backup when he sets it up again.

  • How do I change ownership of an iPad?

    Hi guys,  help me save an iPad !!
    This is a tough one because I do not have access to the previous owner's ID password.   Talking about a 4th gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 8.3 with a badly shattered front glass.     My 5-year old grandson did this.   Done this sort of work before (old MacBook, inverter board), so I got the parts and instructions from ifixit.com and ready get to work on replacing the glass.   But ...., I needed to make sure we can use it fully.   It kept asking for the ID password.  I have already erased it with restore/iTunes connection after trying the other fixes in the book..    Of course, now I need the ID pw to activate it.      It's unusable now.
    This is a divorce situation in a family member.    Go figure.     We are trying to get her to give us the pw or, remove the iPad from her "list of devices" in her iCloud account as specified by Apple instructions.      She has refused to help with this, though the iPad is her son's which I got for him for Christmas sometime ago.   We are still trying to get her cooperation on this.
    OK, that's the sad story of a good, but dead,  iPad. 
    ???  Question:    Is there any way to change ownership of this iPad without its ID pw ???       Well, I said it was a tough one !
    Hope and Thanks,   Mark

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately it is impossible to change ownership of this device without having access to the previous owner's account.

  • I bought a new iPad Air and gave my ipad 2 to my partner. How can I change ownership and passwords and accounts to her.

  • How do I change ownership of apps?

    How do I change the ownership or Apple ID of apps I have purchased off the AppStore?
    Some of my apps were purchased using an Apple ID similar to [email protected]  When  iCloud was launched I signed up for it and now have a Apple ID like [email protected]
    I want to change ownership of apps from the gmail account to the iCloud account.  I don't want to have to sign in and and out of the AppStore on my iPhone, iPad and Mac to update apps.
    Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

    Thanks for that link.  Yes, it does clearly state Apple wont allow merging of Apple ID content.  Apple should reconsider this standpoint. Hopefully they will in the future.  Its only a matter of changing a record on their AppStore database.
    Its about 40/60 for the apps I have under my Gmail ID and my iCloud ID.  I will keep with iCloud and login into my Gmail ID when I've got lots of apps to update.
    Its a pain, but not the end of the world.  It must be frustrating for people with lots of apps on lots of devices.
    I am fairly new to Apple, however I feel the whole product ethos is much better than the Windows/PC approach.  I can't stand the fact I have to have a Microsoft email address just login into Windows 8.  I wish I had moved over to Apple years ago.

  • Change ownership from "system" on mounted volume?

    I have an external firewire drive with 3 partitions all of which are mounted on an iMac, and which until recently all had the same ownership and permission settings under my admin account. One of the volumes (the one storing all the users' iTunes songs) somehow changed ownership to "system" and group to "wheel". I can no longer access the volume nor can the other user accounts on the iMac, although it shows up as a mounted volume when viewed in Disk Utility. "Repair permissions" is unavailable for this volume in Disk Utility. The other two volumes are unaffected and retain the original ownership settings. I'd like to reset ownership from "system" to my admin account, but do not know how to do so as apparently it needs to be done through unix commands using Terminal. What do I need to do?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    "...under Ownership & Permissions, click on the lock, enter your password, and change the Owner to you, with R&W access and the Group to admin, also w/R&W access, and click o Apply to enclosed items. Click the lock and close the Info window. No need to use Unix commands in the Terminal app."
    I first tried that approach but unfortunately the procedure does not work. Under Ownership & Permissions it says "You have No Access". I can click on the lock and select my name under Details: Owner, but once I click to relock, Owner just reverts back to "system".

  • How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

    I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

    I don't think you can.  Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account.  This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

  • I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish ti split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

    I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish to split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
    NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

    If you are past the return date, you can sell the older iPad and put the money towards a new one.

    How does one change ownership of an event?
    We are running OCS 9.0.4.2 on redhat enterprise linux 3.0
    I have a calendar entry which I got from:
    mySess.fetchEventsByRange(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STREAM_NOT_MIME | Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAILYNOTES |
    Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAYEVENTS, hand, in_start, in_end, eventProp, result);

    DTSTART:20050801T120000Z
    DTEND:20050801T220000Z
    END:VEVENT
    So now I'm trying to save the event under the new owner using this:
    mySess.storeEvents(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STORE_MODIFY,event,result);
    where event reads as follows:

    DTEND:20050805T220000Z
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?
    Please how does one change the owner of an event?

    The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

  • Is there any way that I can change ownership (not authorization) of a song so that I don't have to go between my parent's family account and my new account?

    So a little backstory i joined the army and get to go home and use the account where the majority of my music is very little, but now when i try transferring these songs to a new device some of them aren't authorized, and I don't want to go through this every time i get a new computer or ipod/iphone.  Is there any way that i can change ownership of a song or other file so that a different account is the one to authorize its use?

    No.

  • Change ownership of entire hard drive

    I just installed a second hard drive to house all of my music files, and mounted it to /media, then transferred all of my files to it.  The problem is, I used samba to transfer all of the files from my XP box, so all the directories/files are owned by root, and it would take my a day and a half to chown each individual directory.  Is there an easy way to change ownership of the entire drive/directory?  Sorry for the noob question but google and man chown didn't really help me much.

    Use the recursive switch:
    chown -R USERNAME:users /media
    where USERNAME is your user name.

  • How to see the changes made for iPad in iTunes on my iPad?

    How to see the changes made for iPad in iTunes on my iPad? I've been transferring some pdf-files and changed the name on them in iTunes under the index books for my iPad device, but the changes do not show in iBooks-PDF. What to do?

    Yes I tried syncing a lot of times, but the changes still wouldn't show, so I did as you said by beginning from the start by adding the PDF's once again.
    Thanks for your help, it works now :-)

    If bought directly from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online store, and is still within the 14 day return period Apple Offers you can take it back and get a full refund which you can then use towards buying the other version.
    If its already past the 14 day period then you won't be able to return it for a refund no.
    If you did not buy it from an Apple Retail store or Apple Online Store you will have to consult with the store you bought it from about their return policies.

  • How can I change ownership on locked folder? (error 120)

    I had to create a new user after my previous (file vault) sparse image became corrupt. Fortunately I had backup and I'm getting things back to normal with a new user name.
    But several of the folders and files on my secondary internal drive are now locked as read only. The owner is the old name (of the corrupted user folder).
    How can I unlock the folders to change ownership and permissions to my current user name? I am logged in as an administrator. Whenever I try I get an error code 120.
    G5 dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Solved it. Checked the "ignore ownership" box on the secondary drive and I can unlock the folders. Works for now.
