Transfer iPad to new user

Go to Settings > Store. Sign out of his Apple ID and sign into yours. This will allow you to download any of the apps you previously purchased (including free apps) and then update them with your Apple ID info. Unfortunately, if you leave any of your husband's apps on the iPad, you'll still need to enter his password to update them. So, I recommend deleting any of them that are free and then redownloading them under your account.

To make it truly Yours... Connect to iTunes on Your Computer and Restore it as New...

Any Apps Purchased or Downloaded are Tied to the Original Apple ID that was Used...

Apps Cannot be Transfered and Apple IDs cannot be merged.

Setup as new

Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Note: You'll have to buy your own apps

If you intend to use the apps purchased under your husband's ID, they will always be tied to that ID. Even if you change the Apple ID to your ID, to update those apps in the future, you will need to log out and sign back in with his ID.

To change the Apple ID on your iPad, go to Settings > Store and tap on the Apple ID. Sign out. Then sign in with your ID.

For the OP's sake, I think we should clarify that, if she sets up her iPad "as new," her husband's apps will be gone and she will not be able to download them under her own Apple ID without paying for them again (unless they're free apps, of course).

On the bright side, if she leaves them there, she does NOT have to sign out of her ID and back into his in order to update them. She will just get a prompt to enter his Apple ID password.

Thanks for the clarification Clay.

Wow, I just did this, and it didn't even ask me for the original password! I was going to go through the steps up to 'enter password' and BOOM it is erased and reset.
