How do you strip your personal info from an ipad before giving away???

You can backup your current iPad, and then restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (if you don't have the apps on your computer then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)
This page has info on how to backup and then restore : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 (iCloud is only possible with iOS 5, but if backing up with the idea of restoring to a different iPad I'd backup via your computer's iTunes anyway)

How do you remove all personal info from a notebook when getting it ready for the recycle program?

I havae purchased a new notebook and am getting my old MacBook Pro ready to submit to the recycle program at Apple. The list of "to-do's" asks that you remove all your personal info and take the notebook back to it's original settings. Does ayone have any advise on how to do this?

Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant you quit and shut it down.
It's now a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.

How do you get your personal downloads from the itunes to a older ipod touch

I am trying to download all the apps and music that I have on my iphone 4s and ipod touch (4th generation). I did sign up for the icloud but not able to get it to work with the older ipod touch. I am very new to the itunes website and products.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not seeing this problem currently with that URL. Firefox refreshes the site list from Google quite frequently. You can check for new files in the following folder and if they are not getting refreshed, I suppose you could try deleting them.
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profilename''\safebrowsing
Note that this is under the Local branch (location of cache) and not the Roaming branch (location of preferences, extensions, etc.)

Have you ever synced your iPhone with your Mac?
If so, there are various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for transferring your selected music, podcasts, photos, movies, tv shows, etc.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is where you select syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac.
If the Address Book on your Mac is empty, follow the instructions included with my previous post.

Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

How do you print your purchase history from itunes?????

how do you print your purchase history from itunes??? why is the "print" function grayed out???? so frustrating

There is no way to print the Purchase History as a list. You'll have to do a screen capture instead and print that. If you have purchases that span across multiple panes in the Purchase History, you'll have to do a screen capture of each. Of you can print the receipts that should have been emailed to you.

HT4314 How do you completely remove "Game Center" from an iPad?

How do you completely remove “Game Center” from an iPad? Disabling Game Center is a joke because even after you disable it, it continues to reappear frequently prior to your game and “Demands” your attention before it allows you to play your game, this is very annoying. Also, if you are off the grid (e.g.: OCONUS) with no connectivity and the “Game Center” pops up you are blocked from playing your game(s) entirely with no recourse to include being blocked from doing the Game Center multiscreen dance of Canceling and finally Disabling Game Center (yup, they have a button for it on one of the last popup screens But that button to Disable it is completely ineffective because Game Center will still reappear in a day or so). Kindly note that I play single player games like solitaire that should not require the Game Center and some apple tech agree. Apple support techs also have not been helpful with my “Case” number. And no, under the General Settings even when you switch off both Game Center toggles it still overrides them et al. I bought this iPad because it looked like something fun to do and it is BUT I ignored the warnings that it would be a socially invasive toy with a forced unalterable protocol; next time should I listen more closely? Thanks for any understanding and assistance.
Device: iPad 3G (iPad3,2)
iOS version: 6.1.2

Let apple know how you feel

beyond that your only recourse is to look for games that are not game center games and only use those. The ability to disable game center was removed with iOS6 I believe. All you can do is block multiplayer games and game invites. Everything else is unalterable.

I expect the same as on the original iPad. Open the Videos app and display all movies. Touch "Edit" in the upper right corner and then touch the "X" for the movie you wish to remove.
