I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
This will be I guess the first of many questions
Thanks

You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.

If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.

You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.

Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

I have upgraded iPads and my husband uses my old one, how do I change the info so updates etc work in his name

I have upgraded to a new ipad 2, my husband has taken over my old ipad I have set up a Apple ID for him etc, how is link the old ipad to his id so my updates no longer show up on his ipad and it is his identity not mine.

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by "save his programs". If they are apps that you bought with your ID, they really aren't his apps. If they are apps that he bought with his own ID, he can download them again for free as long as he uses the same Apple ID.
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another ID. Any apps that you bought on the iPad with your ID will have to be updated by using your Apple ID and password. If he bought apps with his own ID, he needs to use his ID and password in order to update those apps.
What I am saying is that you should have erased the iPad before he started using it with his own ID. If he wants to use apps that you purchased because he doesn't want to have to pay for them again, then he will just have to juggle the two ID's.
Know that if he switches to your ID in order to download a past purchase, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days. You should take a look at this.

Perhaps you should clarify who bought the apps and describe exactly what you are trying to do.

All my music is gone playlists,library,I have a brand new Itunes account looking for my old one how to do please

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

I buy all of our movies on our apple TV that is associated with my apple ID. I want to put a movie on my wife's new iPad but it gives me a 90 day warning that she won't be able to download anything. Do we really have to buy two copies of the same movie?

I buy all of our movies on our apple TV that is associated with my apple ID. I want to put a movie on my wife's new iPad but it gives me a 90 day warning that she won't be able to download anything. Do we really have to buy two copies of the same movie? There has to be a way for one family to share movies on all of our devices.

Ahh, thank you! What a pain in the neck. I figure I must have been signed into his account at some other point in time, maybe after... watching a movie..? [Though, that'd be the iTunes store, right? Not the App Store.] Anyway, some situation must've occured where I absentmindedly updated and iPhoto is now tied up with his account.
I'll go ahead and contact support to see if they can get me sorted. I suppose I can just ask him for his password, but.. oh, you know, it's a temporary solution and I guess I was just hoping to easily get iPhoto properly associated with myself again. Thank you!

My daughter's mac synced her music to my wife's ipad even though she was logged into itunes on my wife's account. How do I remove my daughter's music and get my wife's music?

while setting up my wife's new ipad, my daughter connected it to her mac. She was logged into my wife's itunes account, but it synced my daughter's music to the ipad,none of my wife's music is on the ipad. How do we remove all my daughter's music?

The iPad does not sync to an iTunes account, it syncs to an iTunes library. Sync the iPad again to your daughter's computer and uncheck all of the music that is currently on the iPad to remove it.
Connect the iPad to your daughter's computer, launch iTunes, click on the iPad name on the left sidebar under Devices, then click on the Music Tab at the top of the iTunes window, uncheck the box next to Sync Music, a dialog box will pop up asking if you are sure ... the music will be removed ... click Don't Sync Music, then click apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and it should remove all of the music.

My WiFi only new iPad running iOS 6 shows my wife's phone number

WiFi on New iPad won't auto connect at home

Even though I have ASK TO JOIN NETWORKS off and successfully type the WiFi password, the iPad defaults to cellular if left in stand by for a few hours.
I can work in WiFi, but if I come back to the iPad later in the day. I'll have to join the network again.
I have an Airport Extreme (latest update) and use it with a first generation iPad, 2 iPhone4s and an iPhone 3G, all of which work fine. Only the new iPad had this problem.
I have my work network setup also, and that auto connects, so it might be the relationship between the Airport and the new iPad.
Am i the only one with this issue?
Thanks

It's strange, I did searches with similar issues but didn't find any until I posted this. Then several came up as related. Sorry for the duplication.

HT1296 I bought my wife a new Ipad 3. How do I transfer her data from the old Ipad 1 to the new one?

I bought my wife a new Ipad 3. How do I transfer her data from the old Ipad 1 to the new one?

Sync the old one, and get a full back up stored. Make sure you transfer your purchases to I tunes, and make sure you upload any photos taken on the pad, or imported thru the cck.
Then plug the new pad in, and set it up from the backup of the old one. In theory, all the stuff that was in the back up will migrate to the new pad. If apps, music or books get lost, you can redownload them for free, using the same appLe id.
If you are selling or gifting the old one, When you are done and happy with the new set up, go to setting, general, reset, reset all content and data. This will place the pad in factory new condition. Lastly, if it is a 3 g pad, especially if it a Verizon pad, make sure to cancel the plan

HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it. He would like to have his own account.

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.
