So the concept of the iPad has been known since the first futuristic science-fiction shows.<\/p>\n<p>One thing those movies and TV gadgets never seemed to have is a manual so you could find out things, like, say, how to turn the iPad on and off, how to turn down the sound, how to get back to the screen where your photos live after you played a game of TwoFastAndOneSlow&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>On 21st-century Earth, these things may not be obvious for new iPad owners, but here you&#8217;ll learn the basics about how to navigate your iPad, so you can find the programs you want, jack it into your computer to load movies and photos and make sure you get it charged up for a full day of fun.<\/p>\n<p>If\u00a0you want to sell your used iPad, we recommend that you reset the tablet to the factory default settings. This action will wipe your device by erasing the settings and data, and will protect your personal information. Once restored to factory settings, the old iPad can be set up properly by the new owner.<\/p>\n<p>Back up your iPad and sign out of iCloud. To do this, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tap\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; iCloud<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down.<\/li>\n<li>Tap\u00a0<em>Sign Out<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Once there, tap\u00a0<em>Erase All Content and Settings<\/em>. Your iPad will be completely erased. Any credit or debit cards you added to Apple Pay will be erased. Any apps, music, photos, documents, etc., will be erased too. FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, iMessages, and other services will be turned off. The device will be erased and removed from your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that you can configure your iPad mini to erase itself after ten consecutive incorrect password attempts. This setting can be turned on by tapping<em>\u00a0Settings &gt; General &gt; Passcode Lock\u00a0<\/em>(it is set to off by default). If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your iPad with Retina Display. In this case, you\u2019ll have to use the computer with which you last synced it.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device, or restore from a backup. If you restore on a computer that was never synced with your iPad with Retina Display, you will be able to unlock the device and remove the passcode.<\/p>\n<p>After you sell your old iPad, <em>Setup Assistance<\/em> will guide the new owner through the setup process when they turn on the iPad for the first time. Your content won\u2019t be deleted from iCloud when you erase your iPad.<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT TO DO IF YOU NO LONGER HAVE YOUR IPAD?<\/h3>\n<p>If you couldn\u2019t complete the steps above because you lost your iPad, or just forgot to back up and erase it, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact the new owner and kindly ask them to erase all content and settings on the iPad, using the above methods.<\/li>\n<li>You can erase the iPad you no longer have if you\u2019re using\u00a0iCloud and\u00a0<em>Find My iPhone<\/em>\u00a0on the device. To erase remotely, sign in to\u00a0iCloud.com\u00a0or the\u00a0<em>Find My iPhone\u00a0<\/em>app on another connected device, select the iPad, and click\u00a0<em>Erase<\/em>.\u00a0After you have erased the device you no longer have, click\u00a0<em>Remove<\/em> from Account.<\/li>\n<li>If for any reason you can\u2019t follow either of the above steps, change your\u00a0Apple ID password. Changing the password won\u2019t remove personal information that\u2019s stored on the iPad you sold or lost, but it will prevent the new owner from accessing to your information from iCloud and deleting it.<\/li>\n<li>In case you\u2019re switching to a non-Apple cell phone, deregister iMessages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re using\u00a0Apple Pay, remove your credit or debit cards on iCloud.com. Choose\u00a0Settings\u00a0to see which devices are using\u00a0Apple Pay, then click the device. Next to\u00a0Apple Pay, click\u00a0Remove.<\/p>\n<p>See also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iGotOffer Encyclopedia<\/a>: all information about Apple products, electronic devices, operating systems and apps.<\/li>\n<li>Getting ready to buy a new gadget? <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/sell\/ipad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sell your old iPad<\/a> online.
