I'm selling my iPad—How to I wipe it clean

Yes, go to Settings > General > Reset (at the bottom of the page) > Erase All Content and Settings.

Why not return it. Isn't there a 60 day period?

I did

The return period for Apple is usually only 14 days. There is a restocking fee for opened product because it can no longer be sold as new product, so it will become fodder for the refurbished supply chain.

What is the restocking fee?

I did

Is that because the iPad requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you're using 10.5.7?

Another way which provides a cleaner start to the new user is to connect up to iTunes and restore the device as a new device. The new owner won't shouldn't have to reactivate it just connect up to the computer and sync there information with the device.

10 to 15%.

As stated, wipe data using the path given to the "erase all content and settings" then nothing will be stored on iPad that you put on...no sign in data no iTunes account info...it wipes back to factory settings like when you bought it... The warranty transfers to the friend you give it to...when or if they ever need service, the serial number shows the warranty period even if sold to someone else... If you have purchased Apple Care...you will want to call them and give your friends info so that if he ever needs service the email address and shipping info is his not yours anymore

+For eligible Mac, iPad, iPod, and third-party products, you have up to 14 calendar days from the time you receive your item(s) to initiate a return. Personalized iPods (e.g., engraved or customized in any way) may not be returned for refund or exchange under any circumstances unless such product is Dead on Arrival (see the section below for more detailed information on such Dead on Arrival products). If the item is returnable and you send it back to us unopened in the original box, Apple will offer you a refund based on your original method of payment. You must return the product to the Apple warehouse within 14 calendar days of the issuance of the RMA. All products must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation, and registration that shipped with the product. Apple will assess a 10% restocking fee on any opened hardware or accessory. If you purchased your order using an Apple Business Lease, Apple may ask you to provide a major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover) so Apple can assess the 10% restocking fee.+

Only 14 days and 10% restocking after that.

You are misreading that clause, it defines when the warranty period starts (one year from the purchase date by the original purchaser), not whether the warranty can be transferred.

Deggie, I see your point. Thanks.

I've never had an issue transferring warranties. Just make sure you or your pal keep the original receipt, just in case there is an issue.

How would they know who the original purchaser was? What if you had bought it as a gift in the first place? And as a last resort, as you say, if it needed warranty work, YOU could just take it back for your friend to get it fixed.
