I'm getting my "new" iPad on Friday.  I'm replacing my "original" iPad (1).  Since I preordered and will be receiving my iPad directly I will not be picking it up from the Apple store, so no set up from them.  Can someone walk me thru what I must to do get my new iPad up and running.  I want to transfer my info, apps, etc. to my new iPad but I also want to pass on my old one to a family member who uses the same computer.  How shall I proceed?  Thanks!

If you want everything that's on your current iPad onto the new one, then you can first copy all purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then backup your current iPad and restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - 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 (which is one reason to do File > Transfer Purchases, if that doesn't copy them over then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad.
Depending on what you want to remain on the iPad, you can then either leave it as it is or log out of your account on it (tap on it in Settings > Store) and then wipe it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

  • Going to the apple store with my iPhone 5 tomorrow for battery issues. What will my replacement be?

    I know the innards of the 5c are the same as the normal 5, and since they don't produce the 5 anymore, will I be stuck getting a 5c as a possible replacement? I'd perfer a 5 since I have cases for it and all that I just wanna know what to expect. thanks!

    If you get a replacement, it will be a refurbished iPhone 5.  OTOH, if your you have just a battery problem, the battery will be replaced in your current phone.

  • For a book cover in Elements 9 I can't exchange the jpg for another. Can someone walk me thru it?

    At the upper rt. and wrapping around the book cover is a jpg. I want to exchange it for another, but can't. I've tried deleting the photo and then importing another. That won't work. Tried opening another layer, but that doesn't work either. Do I open a layer and then import? Whatever I do the jpg pastes onto the entire BACKground of the cover/canvas! Can someone walk me thru this?! Is the problem that I need to be in a certain format from the left column of icons?!
    Thank you!

    From the nature of your question, it appears that you have posted in the wrong forum. This looks like a Photoshop Elements 9 (photo editing) question that you have posted in the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    If this is as I suspect, please repost your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move your thread from here to there. It might be quicker for you to repost your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

    Can anyone tell me what to do my ipad 2 is frozen reset but will not come on seem the apple logo which disappeared and now is frozen

    I really can't tell from your post but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE  ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

    I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
    I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
    Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
    Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • Possible to get iMac repaired without going to the apple store?

    i recently purchased a 24" imac and called apple to request a repair due to a stuck pixel in the middle of my screen, very distracting, and i got a case number but was told that i need to take it to an apple store to have it looked at first and then the store would send it out to apple. not a big deal except for the fact that the closest apple store is nearly a hour away. so my question is, has anyone been successful in getting a prepaid box sent to their house for a non-portable instead of having to drive it to the apple store first? Thanks

    Could the apple store still decide differently?
    They could, yes, once they examine the situation. A tech on the phone can only guess based on your description, so the tech at the store may come up with a different determination once he/she sees the system.
    Also, there are also some "authorized service centers" that come up when i do a search on apples website... should i try one of those or just stick with the apple store?
    Whether the case you've opened will authorize a service center to go ahead and replace the screen, or whether they'd be required to consult with Apple, I don't know. My guess is that the latter case is the one that would be correct; that the service center would have to examine the system and then contact Apple to see if Apple would authorize replacement of the screen. And as I said, it's very unusual for Apple (or any other manufacturer) to replace a screen for a single bad pixel.
    So it's your call. If there's a service center near you and you want to try them, it might be worth the time, at least to call them and discuss the situation and see what they think.

  • How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I  want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

    I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to  "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

    Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

  • HT201436 My phone will not come on just the apple faintly but before this I could not reach anyone. It would ring the person I called but they could not hear me What is the matter?

    My I phone 5 is not coming on. If I try to start it the apple comes on faintly and then it goes out. Earlier todaye I called a cell and it worked fine.I tried to call my home phone and it would not ring yet my Husband tried to answer but I could not hear him. When I dial out it does not ring on my end and when they try to answer answer I can hear them but they can not hear me. Took it to the Bell dealer in the Mall at Kindersley Sask. and they put a new card in and no different.At that time it was still coming on and now it will not.have not had this phone very long and I am not impressed. The people I bought it from phoned and they told him to reset it but now it will not come on and the battery is not dead. Can I take it back to the dealer
    I bought it from and have him replace it? I do not want to have to wait 2 weeks for a phone.
