I would like to customise a new iPad as a gift, if I do this using my account, can I transfer everything over to her account once she has received the gift? thanks

Is there a way to set up an iPad with one account (mine) and then when the iPad is given as a gift, transfer everything over to another?
I would like to 'fill up' a new iPad mini with apps, movies, music etc for my sister who lives in the middle east but I'm concerned that she will have to continue to use the iPad in my account...
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks

You cannot transfer purchased content from one account to another account. I don't think that you gift internationally either. You can only use iTunes gift cards in the country in which they are purchased as far as I know. If something has changed with regard to that policy, I'm sure that someone will correct me.
If you set up the iPad using your ID, yes she would have to use your ID to update and redownload purchases and that leads to another set of problems... Associating the ID with another ID can lock you out of your own ID for 90 days.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean by scanned, which app do you usually view them in.

You can sync your content to a new device but you cannot transfer vouchers from one country's store to another country's store if that is what you want to do.

I have an ipad and want to buy an ipad mini. Can I transfer everything over?

I have 3 ipads under one apple ID and soon to have a fourth.
I want to rearrage who has what device.
Here is how they are now:
iPad 3 16m wifi:User 1
iPad 2 16m wifi:User 2
iPad 2 16m wifi:User 3
User 4 currently has no ipad.
User 1 is getting a new ipad mini and would like to transfer everything from his iPad3 16m wifi to his new device.
User 1's old iPad 3 16m wifi is going to user 2 who would like to transfer her information from her iPad 2 16m wifi to her iPad 3 16m wifi.
User 2's old iPad 2 16m wifi will be used by user 4.
Is it possible to make this work without losing everyones photos, email, facetime etc.
Note: Each user has thier own Apple ID for Messaging, Facetime, etc. but share ONE for apps.
Thanks, Marty

If you backup and sync with iTunes, it should be no problem at all.
Each user should transfer purchases, backup and sync with iTunes one last time. I assume that you have all of your own sync settings already set up in iTunes for syncing content to each device, otherwise, each iPad would be identical in content. Just in case, I posted a couple of links that might be helpful for you at the bottom of my post. After you transfer purchases, backup and sync each device one last time, simply restore from the correct backup listed in the backup window, then sync each device after restoring from the backup.
Everything should be in place on each device except for passwords which will have to be entered again on each device. Passwords are backed up, but will only restore to the very same device when restoring from a backup, and will not restore to a new device.
The links that Kappy provided in his post are very informative and should be of help to you. Here are two links that describe backing up, restoring from a backup and transferring purchases.

These may come in handy for setting up sync settings in iTunes 11, if you haven't down that yet.

If you are unfamiliar with iTunes 11, it helps to see the sidebar on the left side, so if needed, enable it by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen.

I already have an Apple ID account with 4 devices connected to it but I would like to make a new one with a desperate password for my school iPad. How do I do that?

You can create a new Apple ID and password for the iPad but none of the content downloaded using the Apple ID associated with the four devices will be available on the iPad.

It's not possible to use two passwords with one Apple ID.

I have a PC desktop and an iPad. I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad. I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device. I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud). Is that possible. I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

Hi,
I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
Thank you,
Jeff

Hi,
I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
(* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
Â©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<< change as desired or read from a dialog
tell application "Address Book"
copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
set s to ""
repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
    set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
    set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
    set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
s -- to view immediately in the script editor
end tell
on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
return (aNumber as string)
end twoDigits
I changed the modification date to creation date.
Thanks for the replies.

I have my iTunes library on my Windows 7 machine on an external hard drive. I purchased a new Macbook and would like to point my new machine at my iTunes library without losing anything and then deactivate iTunes on the Windows machine, help please

Sorry, but this does not seem to be an iPad question. I'd therefore suggest you ask in the iTunes for Mac forum.
Regards.

HT202667 I would like to open a new itunes account with an existing email

I would like to open a new iTunes account using an existing email address. How can I do that?

Hi,
Thanks for providing more information on what you're trying to accomplish. If you want to create an Apple ID, the email cannot be associated with a pre-existing Apple ID account. Why are you trying to create another Apple ID? If you just want to change your Apple ID, you can simply change the primary email account.

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

Hello I would like to ask why my iPad is not charging?

Hi i would like to know why my iPad not charging?

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
