iPad Wiping - Why it is Important

 

Every day we have new iPad makes and models on the market and those of us who bought iPads a while ago would definitely want to enjoy a new model because they look better and they work better also. The new iPads have a lot more to offer than the older makes - thanks to their advanced and more amazing features. It is therefore no surprise that many people look forward to selling their old models for new ones. Nonetheless, if what you want is a new iPad and you want to trade it for your older one, you have to do iPad Wiping.

 

iPad Wiping is the process by which you clean out all your data and information from your iPad before selling it because the data and information on your old iPad could be useful with your new iPad. The most important reason for this though is because you do not want your personal and confidential information or data to fall into the hands of people that could use them maliciously. Unfortunately this is likely to happen if you do not ensure that all the data on your old iPad is completely wiped out.

 

There are malicious people out there that could cause you harm if they get accessed your information, which is why you have to see to it that your old iPad does not have anything on it before you sell it off.

 

What to do Before Selling your iPad

• You need a good backup plan where you will store everything that you have on your iPad so that you can install it onto your new iPad after purchase. This will save you the trouble of having to gather data all over again for the new ipad. You also need this data because it could be important to you in the future.

• The other thing to do after backing up all your data and information is to delete all the data and settings on your old iPad. Do this through the settings app, then general, then ‘reset’ and then tap on ‘erase all content and settings’

• To be on the safe side, you need to log out from all online services and unlink your iPad from them all, and then you can proceed to delete your data and the settings.

• It is also a good idea to unregister your iPad from the Apple website so that it will not be linked to your ID after you are done with it. Quite a number of people forget to do this. Remember it will be necessary so you can register the new one after your new purchase.

• Remove the SIM if you have a cellular iPad or request for deactivation depending on the network that you have been registered on, and then the iPad will be ready for selling.

 

iPad Wiping is Very Important

iPad Wiping is actually very important because we are living in a very unsafe world where people are using other people’s information for the wrong reasons. If you will not wipe out all the information and data from your iPad before selling it, someone else may use the same for the wrong reasons and you will be left to pay the consequences.

 

For these reasons, make a point to wipe out all traces of your information because these hackers are very clever and could access it if you will not do it. Once the iPad is in its factory settings, it will be ready for sale and you can proceed to sell it in order for you to acquire the new model that you really want to have.
