You won't be able to do exactly what you want. At least not directly

The only way to keep the photos would be to upload them somewhere and then redownload them once you set the iPad up for the new owner.


Apps aren't tied to a device. they're tied to the Apple ID, so when you set it up for the new owner and they put their ID on there, they'll have to start over with their apps.
