How do I transfer my account To my new ipad?

I have a new Mini/Retina that I want to replace my iPad 2 with. I want to use my same old AT&T account for cellular/data connection, so how do I transfer my account To my new iPad?
The guy at the AT&T store (where I bought the Mini) said I would have to start it as a backup from the old machine, and I might have to switch SIM cards (believable), but there must be more to it than that. At what point shoud I shut off the old iPad account? If I do it at the wrong time it seems like there should be a conflict (perhaps the SIM card). Is there a procedure posted anywhere? (He also gave me a 1-800 number to call for help - so I suspect I'll need it. But you guys are so good, I'll start here.)
TIA

If your iPad 2 has a newer iOS version than your new iPad Air then you'll need to update the iPad Air to newest iOS before you can restore it from the iPad 2's backup. Its conceivable that being in the store the new iPad air does not have the most recent iOS installed.
Anyway as to the AT&T service. you should not have to anything on the old iPad.
Simply remove the sim card, go to your AT&T store and ask for a new sim that fits your new iPad with your current service on it. Then simply insert the new sim card into the new iPad. In the process of setting up the new sim card, the old one will be deactivated by AT&T.
Without a sim card the old iPad will have no cell service.

My iPad was stolen and I want to know how I can deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new iPad

Hi there My i Pad was stolen and I would like to know how do I deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new i Pad Thanks Linda

If you enabled the "Find My iDevice" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, log into iCloud and deactivate it. If you did not, there is nothing that can be done.
As for the content, it should all be on your computer, simply connect the new iPad and sync what you would like to the device.

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

How do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

how do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

"Paired"? I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer. That will not work.
Instead, try one of these two methods:
1. Use iCloud to contain the contacts. Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
2. Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
(This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

Bought new computer. How do I transfer my account to my new computer?

I have an older lap top that has my itunes account and playlist. How can I transfer it to the new lap top I just bought? I have Windows 7

Install itunes on the new laptop, first.
You can log into the itunes store and start using your account at any time - there isn't really any "transfer" going on, for that part.
You do need to transfer the music files and the itunes database, though. Do that the same way you are transferring over other stuff like digital photos, browser bookmarks, etc. I've used my home network in the past when we've gotten a new PC.
For itunes, the important folder is C:\....\iTunes. Just replace that folder on the new machine with the iTunes folder (and all its subfolders) from the old machine.
Have a look at the new PC's preferences to make sure they're set up correctly, and don't forget to deauthorize your old PC if you're getting rid of it. And....don't get rid of it until you are sure you have everything set up like you want!

How can I transfer my account to a new PC?

I moved recently, and my account is currently on my parents' computer. I would like to know how I can get my account onto my boyfriends' computer. Help is greatly appreciated!

If you copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer (with iTunes not running) you don't need to readd anything. The content will be there when you launch iTunes on the new computer.

How do I transfer my account to Ipad2 from IPad1?

I am giving my earlier model IPAD to a friend and want to remove my account info from the old Ipad and transnfer it to the new Ipad2. How do I do this?

the previous answers are accurate, but to make sure everything you want is moved over.
1. connect your old ipad
a. in itunes click file - transfer purchases from (name) ipad
a.1. IF you have not authorised your computer it will ask you to do so, enter itunes user Id, pw, then select authorise.
b. right click on your ipad's name (under devices on the left column in itunes) and select backup
c. sync your information (if you havn't allready done so)
d. here is the choice you have, either select the restore in the summary tab (center of itunes) and restore as new, or select on the ipad (settings - general - reset - reset all settings, then erase content) - make sure to not let it sync after restore by slide to cancel sync. verify the information is gone by going to the
settings - store - (should be no itunes account showing)
2. new ipad, after setting up your wifi or 3g connection which ever applies go to settings - store - sign in.
a. restore the ipad2 from the backup of the ipad (update if required ipad2 ios version must be same or higher then ipad ios version)
b. sync your apps/music/itunes content to your device.
c. verify mail settings/other personal information/configurations
d. enjoy
c. also always helpful to make a backup after completing the processes.. just in case

HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

Hi Stillme,
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
Apple - My Apple ID
If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
Cheers,

After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. But the pictures are still there at Facebook and google photo accounts. How do I transfer the photos back to my iPad?

After downloading IOS 6 all my stored pictures were wiped off. I later noticed that the pictures are still there on photo stream on my Facebook and google accounts. How do I transfer these pictures back to my iPad from any of these accounts?

I once had a sync problem that turned out to be that a specific photo was corrupted and impeded the process from continuing. Try to see if it gets stuck at a specific photo, then delete just that one.
