How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G.  I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information.  How do i do that? 

The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

  • I have recently purchased a new computer and want to move the music i have on my iPod touch to this new computer. Can someone advise me on how to do this?

    help please

    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

    How do you transfer information from an old ipod to a new one

    Restoring the new iPod from the backup of your old iPod will result in the new iPod being the same as the old iPod except that you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same unless you use an encrypted backup.

    How do i Transfer photos from my ipad to SD Card using the Ipad photo kit

    I don't think you can directly transfer pictures from your iPad to an SD card using the photo kit.  If you have Windows PC  (with USB port), connect it to you iPad using the Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. After connecting, open Windows Explorer on your PC and you'll notice that one of the icons is your iPad (as an external drive).  Click on the iPad icon, then Internal Storage, then DCIM. Once you open the DCIM folder, youll see a bunch of folders in it (just like the one below) - that's were your pictures are stored. You can copy and paste these folders (or the files inside them) to you PC or if your PC has an SD Card slot (with card in it), you can copy them there as well.

  • How do i transfer music from my ipad to my iphone?

    How can I transfer music from my ipad to my iphone? Thanks!

    You can transefr the music directly from one device to another one. You either have to transfer the purchases into iTunes on your computer and sync them to the other device, or go to the purchased tab in the iTunes app and download them again onto the device. As long as you use the same Apple ID, you will not be charged again to download the songs.

    How do you transfer contents from old iPad to new?

    Caesar1948-
    I'm not using iCloud, so do not know for sure.  I feel as if I have more control by using iTunes on my computer, to determine what is on my iPad, and what gets deleted.
    If your wife will share the same Apple ID with you, you do not need to remove everything from the old iPad.  She can share your purchased Apps, music, et cetera.
    In iTunes, you can have several iOS devices sharing Apps under a common Apple ID, but you can also "uncheck" specific Apps you do not want on one of your devices.  Each device has an identity so iTunes should remember which App goes on which device during future syncs.
    If your wife will have her own individual Apple ID, you need to go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  This will return the iPad to factory defaults, except it will retain the latest iOS version installed.
