Changing ownership of IPad

The iPad was originally my husbands but now he has his Mac Book I use it. How do we change all the defaults from his name to mine. It won't let us just go in and change it. Do we just do a complete reset?

    Yes, do a reset. But if you attach it to a different iTunes account you'll lose all purchases.

    Not true! You can have Apps from different iTunes accounts on an iDevice at the same time!

    Is this iPad synced with iTunes on your own computer?

    By 'defaults from his name to mine' do you mean different iTunes libraries/users on your computer? Or same library/user but just want to change it's name from 'Mr.Bloggs iPad' to 'Mrs.Bloggs iPad'?

    Not if you reset it completely and attach it to a new account (i.e. the old account is no longer there, because it's been reset) which is what I was getting at.

    If you do a full reset then yes! In general it will add Apps from a new account to any existing ones. I guess that may prove more complex to manage than many people would wish!
