Q: How do I create a new apple id for an iPad?
I had an iPad for a couple years with an apple id. Recently my wife bought an iPad. When it was setup, we used my apple id so that we could share our calendar. She wants to have her own apple id. How do we create one and setup her iPad to use it?
iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.3

Hi
To prepare the recently purchased iPad for a completely fresh start under your wife's ownership, follow the steps here:
To create a new Apple ID for your wife:
Your wife can then follow the setup instructions as directed on the iPad, including choosing to set it up as a new iPad (do not restore from a backup) and entering her own Apple ID credentials when prompted:
Should you wish to continue sharing eligible past and future purchases (such as music from iTunes, apps from the App Store, books from iBooks, etc), you can still do so by setting up Family Sharing.
Features also include a shared family calendar and the ability to set reminders that alert all members of the Family Sharing group.
