How do I transfer ownership of my iPad2 to my wife (easily)?

I was given an iPad 2 as a gift from my wife over a year ago. Because of my work, I don't have time to use it, and she enjoy's staying in touch with her sibs with online messaging. I tried to plug in her name in necessary spots, but APPLE doesn't seem to recognize her, and now I think I've botched up the entire system. Is there a way to re initialize the system with her information?
Thanks

This is the advice I give prior to selling an iOS device. The same would apply to you...
If desired, move photos/videos off the Camera Roll: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If desired, backup the device to iTunes or iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then, on the device...
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > Delete Accout (this only unregisters and deletes it off the device)
Settings > iTunes & App stores. Tap the AppleID and sign out.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
Unregister your device at https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now she can set it up as hers with her Apple ID.

How do I transfer ownership on an iTouch?

I would like to give my iTouch to my sister-in-law. How do I transfer ownership? And how do I get it dedicated to her laptop, a MacBook Pro?
Thanks in advance,
John Kendrick

If you want to keep your present touch contents secret from your sister-in-law, do the following:
Erase all content and settings:
Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.” This feature resets all settings to their defaults and permanently removes all your information and media on your iPod touch by overwriting the data stored on iPod touch.
Important: You can’t use iPod touch while data is being overwritten. This can take one to four hours or more, depending on the storage capacity of your iPod touch.

How do I transfer ownership and Apple Care?

I bought my friends old iPad when he got a new one - how do I transfer ownership, etc?

There is no transfer of ownership per se.
Restore the iPad with iTunes as a new iPad if your friend did not do this prior to the sale.
The standard one year warranty and the AppleCare extended warranty remains with the device.

How do I transfer cellular plan from ipad2 to iPad air when the SIM cards are different sizes? At the apple store I was told to just swap them..

Hey there, Tom.
I Know it's be a while since these messages were posted. Just need to rant.

Okay, great. The AT&T office is only 15 miles away, no problem, but really???

How do I transfer ownership

How would I transfer ownership of Aperture to a friend so he can use it?

Provide the registration/serial number is all you need do. Apple does not register software, so there is nothing else you need do. Oh, a receipt might be nice to prove ownership in the event proof is ever needed.
If you purchased from the App Store, then you cannot transfer ownership unless you are willing to provide your Apple ID and password. Not recommended.

I have installed Final Cut Studio 3 on my laptop. I want to sell it, how do I transfer ownership?

I have installed Final Cut Studio 3 on my laptop. I want to sell it, how do I transfer ownership?

Ownership of what? The laptop, Final Cut Studio, or both? If you mean FCS, either with the laptop or separately, you need to give the purchaser (this from the End User License) "all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, original media, printed materials and this License". You don't need to transfer ownership of the laptop, per se, though if you have AppleCare on it you should transfer that coverage to the new owner of the laptop.

How do i transfer photos from my ipad2

I need to transfer photos FROM my ipad2. Is there a way to do it?

For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

the previous answers are accurate, but to make sure everything you want is moved over.

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.

How do I transfer ownership to my other e-mail ID?

I have two Adobe IDs (possibly more). Some of my products are registered under one e-mail, and others under another. I would like to transfer them all to the same e-mail address. Is that possible? they are all on the same computer.

How can it sent it to the wrong email address? Apple sends it to the email address listed in the information you provided for your account. Thus, I really do not understand your problem.
Maybe this will help.

Apple doesn't "lock' out iPhones. You take your chances when you purchase from an un-official source. Some carriers will blacklist iPhones, but no carrier in the US does so.
