My mom gave me her old Ipad, how do I synch it to my account?

How do I synch a new to me Ipad to my account?  When  plugged it in to my computer I was not triggered to synch like I have with previous devices.

  • I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

    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.

  • My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?

    My mom got the iPad mini for Christmas and she gave me her old iPad but she is still receiving all my messages on her mini. Is there a way to stop her from getting them?

    If she is receiving your messages - then you must have somehow setup the iPad to use your iPhone number or your email address on her new iPad. How you did that is beyond me unless you set up her new Mini for her and used your Apple ID on it.
    On her iPad got to - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your phone number or email address of that is what is being used for the contact number.

  • My iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!

    Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
    How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud?

    My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

    Backup the old iPad first, either to itunes or iCloud.
    Once that is done, setup the new iPad from the backup. Choose the Restore from Backup option when setting up the new iPad.

    When that is done, wipe the old iPad clean and set up as new.
    Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings
    You can create a new Apple Id when you set up the iPad again.

    How do i get a separate itunes account for my wife?

    On the old iPad go to settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings and that will totally erase the iPad. You can set it up as a new device and use your Apple ID in Settings>Store>Apple ID - or Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID.
    Your wife can create a new Apple ID here.

    Or she can go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and create a new ID in there.

  • Mom gave me her used iPad.  How to switch iTunes accounts with losing game data.

    I have been using my mom's iPad for the last year to play a game on there.  Everything on the iPad is under her iTunes account and iCloud name.  She decided she did not want the iPad so I bought it off her.  How to I change everything on the iPad to make it my own without losing my saved game data.  If it helps I have been playing Sims Freeplay.  I really don't want to lose the level I am on with that game. 

    I believe her data is connected to her Apple ID. Maybe you could buy her Apple ID from her, also ... :-) ... otherwise, I believe you're out of luck.

  • A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

    A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library.  Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

    I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library.  At least this is how iPods work.  I'm not sure about iPhones.  If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
    If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems.  The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time.  I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
    Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

    Okay so this is what can be done for you....
    First go to itunes then Edit --> Preference --> Advanced --> and check off copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library.
    Now connect the ipod to the computer (if this a new computer and the ipod has never been connected to it, you'll get a box asking you to link the libraries, Say NO)
    In itunes select file then 'add folder to library' and highlight the ipod in My Computer. Then select ok. The music should start updating into itunes.
    When the update is complete, remember to go back into the preference window and uncheck 'copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library'

  • My daughter gave me her old ipod nano is there a way where i can transfer thie to my name

    My daughter gave me her old ipod is there a way i coild change the name to me?

    Do you mean change the name of the iPod?
    Renaming an iPod, iPhone, iPad or Mac
    Or do you mean registering the device to you?
    Get the serial number off the back. Log in to http://supportprofile.apple.com, click Add product and enter the serial number. If it says it is registered to another ID have your daughter sign in at the above webpage and remove it.
