Changing from iPad 3rd generation to iPad Air 2

I have an iPad 3rd generation, 64GB (wifi + cellular), and want to now get an iPad Air 2.
Questions:
1. How do I transfer everything from the older iPad, including e-mail settings and archives, and all the other personal stuff like contacts and downloads?
2. How do I completely and safely remove all my personal information, e-mails and everything else from the older iPad, so that I can give it to someone else?
I would appreciate any advice and help.

To transfer data to your new iPad Air 2 create an iTunes backup of your old iPad on your computer and setup your new iPad Air 2 with iTunes  using the backup to restore your new iPad. ICloud backup can also be used for this but will be slower.
To give the old iPad away turn off Find My IPad in Settings > Cloud and then use Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

  • I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

    I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restart your internet modem and router then try downloading books.

    if no it means ipaid cellular is only for 3g or 4g connections to access internet anywhere?

    you can't make calls, but if its supported, you can use facetime. another alternative is skype, but you wont be able to make actual phone calls from your ipad

  • Can"t Print on Canon 4880 from Ipad air

    I have a Canon 4880 DW Model # NWQ15793 All in One printer and I can not print from from Ipad Air.  I'm told that App store has no downloads that will allow me to print on that particular printer.  Is there an App anywhere trhat i can download which will allow me to use this printer or do I have to go out and bu a printer that supports AirPrint?

    You would be better off with an Airprint printer, but check to see if Canon has an app or you can print through your computer using an application like Print Central or Printopia.

  • What features will be missing from IPAD air if I bought it from UAE

    What features will be missing from IPAD air if I bought it from UAE

    You won't have the FaceTime app on it, and you won't be able to install it. And if anything goes wrong with the iPad then you may only be able to get it repaired/replaced under warranty the UAE

  • Can't seem to send email from iPad Air.

    Transferred from iPad to iPad Air   Also upgraded to new iPhone.  No prelims with email with iPhone.  Receive but can't send email from iPad Air.  Says server rejected email.  Same email sent fine from phone.  Suggestions?  Settings are the same on both devices. 

    Found my own answer.  Although I carried over settings from former iPad, the outgoing server was not set up completely. 

  • HT1766 How to send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad

    How do I send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad?

    I had a similar/same problem - when I deleted the video locally, it did not appear as a Cloud video.
    To solve this, I deleted it locally, signed out of iCloud, powered of the iPad, powered back on, opened videos (empty), signed back into iCloud.
    Now all my videos are present in the cloud, and none locally.
    Not a great UX though

  • How delete other storage from ipad air?

    How delete other storage from ipad air?

    The iOS will NOT automatically delete "other" if the device gets full. That is totally incorrect.
    "Other" is basically all of the data and stuff that does not fit into any of the other categories on the device, like apps, photos, music, videos, and so on. It contains Safari Bookmarks and History, Notes, Contacts, Email messages, Text Messages, photos assigned to contacts, cached app data (but not documents themselves) etc. When "other" becomes too large, it can take up a lot of space and cause problems. It should not be more than a few GB at most and for most people it would probably be around 400MB - 2 GB.
    IF something gets corrupted on the iPad and "other" grows out of control, you may have to restore the device in order to clear that data. One starting point troubleshooting step for dealing with the problem is to backup your iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore the backup. There are also other less invasive things that you can try first.
    A Google search will turn up many articles that talk about how to reduce "other" on an iOS device.

  • How do I transfer calendar changes FROM ipad TO computer?

    how do I transfer calendar changes FROM ipad TO computer?

    Thanks Chris. Trouble is, I have created  a pile of calendar detail (and contacts) in iPad, but have a blank version of Outlook  on Pc (had to reinstall). Reading synch instruction, implies iPad will synch with pc, and delete existing iPad content (plenty) and replace with pc outlook content (zilch). So I would stand to lose everything.
    Have turned on iCloud on iPad, but can't see any content in pc based iTunes, (nor of course, in Outlook)
    So want to be sure to keep what I have ON iPad and transfer it TO Outlook. I can then continue to edit/add content on iPad and transfer that TO computer (from time to time)
    Any ideas?

  • Less volume output through earphone from ipad air, itouch 5 and 4 gen also

    Has any body noticed that the latest iPad and i touch (i e from 4th generation onward) purchased from India (I don't know about other countries) has less volume output in earphones/headphones as compared to the old generations...
    This is because i had to replace 2 i touch (i e 4th gen and 5th gen) for the same problem.
    Now also when i purchased an iPad air WiFi cellular am facing the same problem.
    I am buying an apple product for music and videos preferably but at last get disappointed due to your same defective products.
    Has apple lowered their status of music and video for which they were famous.
    Anyone help me out there for this problem.
    Tell me solution excluding
    1.To turnoff volume limit
    2. reset all settings
    3.make some changes in equalizer
    4.restore factory settings and
    5. increase volume level from iTunes..
    All the above mentioned solutions i have tried nothing has solve my problem..
    If apple does manufacture such product with less volume than the previous version then please tell us. We will buy product of another brand. Apple its a major issue. The only thing that this issue has not been discussed so much because most of the people do not hear at the max level.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Cannot send email anymore from IPad Air

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.
