How to remove all data.

We're donating an iPad and want to remove all data.  What is the simplest, effective way to do this?  Remote wipe using FindMyiPhone?  Reset to factory conditions?  Something else? 
Original iPad, no 3G, iOS 4.3.3.

I think the best way to do this is to download the latest iPad firmware from here:
http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Plug the ipad into your computer and go into iTunes.
When in iTunes goto the iPad screen.
From the iPad screen hold down the "option" key (shift key in windows) and click "Restore". iTunes will then ask you where the restore file is. Here you will choose the one you downloaded from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Once restoration is complete do not restore from a backup and unplug it from the mac so that it is no longer registered to a computer.
After this is done the iPad will just display the "Plug into iTunes" picture and is ready for the iPad to be sold or whatever.
This may not be the easiest way but is the the best way to ensure all of the data is removed from the iPad.

  • How To Remove Exif Data

    Hi,
    Can you tell me how to remove all exif data, tags, etc from a photo?  And, how to batch remove?  Do you have to add a plug in?
    Thanks,
    Barb

    To strip exif data and tags.
    Sorry, I thought you were asking a follow-on question.  It didn't make any sense that you would ask about a plug-in if you were already told how to do it in Photoshop.
    Frankly, it doesn't make all that much sense to use Photoshop at all for the task.
    Have a look at the freeware viewer called IrfanView.  I believe it can be set to batch process a group of images, and save them back out without metadata.

  • How to remove blank data from a byte array

    Hi All,
    How to remove blank data from a byte array. Suppose I created a byte array as byte[] b = new byte[8192] and i read the data as inputstream.read(b). If the data that has been received is only 1000 bytes length, how to find out how much data has been read or how to delete that blank 7192 bytes of data?
    Thanking you,
    Regards,
    Shankar.

    1) Always try to sidestep this by allocating only the necessary amount of space required...
    2) If 1 is not possible, you will have to index byte for byte how much data was read into the array which
    denotes reading byte for byte... not ideal as this is relatively slow...
    Are you reading from a file?

  • Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.

    Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.?

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

    All of the data should be on your computer, simply sync it back.
    If the update was done via iTunes on the computer, the first step in the process is a backup of the device.

  • How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform (bis)

    Hi Niall,
    A few years ago, you helped a user who asked "How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform". Please could you do again with approximately the same problem ?
    In a click event, I have the script "_CarteEN.addInstance();". Well ! Many cards appear. To protect them, I put above a mask (it's a button with a background Fill). Now, how can I do to remove all masks with only one click using the resetdata or anything else...
    I try this but it doesn't work.
    while (flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.count > 2)
         flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.removeInstance(1);
    Many thanks for your help !

    There is no subform named "flowedSubform"
    The "CacheCV" is not a container object (subform). so you can't access the instanceManger of this object.
    the below lines should work
    while(_CarteEN.count >1)
         _CarteEN.removeInstance(1);
