Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?

Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing


Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.

If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.


If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:

Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB


If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.
