Set it up and have decided its not for me is there any easy way to do a factory reset so as its ready any new owner. The same as I received it I have deauthorised iTunes, I didn't do much else on the laptop so no need to back up etc. Just need to reset it.	micky (7329)

That will stop the nagging. Or disable certain apps to be backed up to save space on your 5GB cloud storage. Or subscribe to a plan for more storage. If you have iTunes on your PC and have the iPad configured to connect to it over Wi-Fi it should also be automatically backing up to there too- usually on by default once connect over Wi-Fi is checked.	baabits (15242)
