I have two original iPads, my 64GB 3G and my S.O.'s 32GB WiFi.
I am using my new MBA and gifting the 32GB iPad to my daughter.
I want to wipe the 32GB after swapping the user to the 64GB.
Anyone tried this?
I know how to reset and wipe the iPad via the settings menu, I just don't know how to swap the users without losing anything.

It's all about accounts, names and passwords. Transfer the data/personal stuff and delete what you can. Add the new accounts(names and passwords), delete the old accounts and you are done. The apps will be sync'd the next time you connect to iTunes on a Mac.

purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

iCloud storage.
Backing up with iTunes
iTunes creates a backup of photos in Camera Roll or in Saved Photos, text messages, notes,
contact favorites, sound settings, and more. Media files, such as songs, and some photos, aren’t
backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.

in the iTunes window, and click Restore in the Summary pane.
