Off the Subject ... an iPad Question


 


Sorry for going off-topic, but does anyone know whether one can migrate everything on one iPad to a new iPad?

Thank you.

Certainly. When setting up the new iPad, you’ll have the option to transfer data directly from another iPad or from a backup on a computer or in iCloud.

Steve,

If the old iPad isn't outdated, normally all you'll need to do is plug both iPads into their charger just to make sure you don't run low on power, physically place the iPads next to each other (and away from all other iOS devices) and the iPads 'should' sense each other automatically. At that point you confirm that you want to clone from the old iPad to the new iPad.?

Assuming that works, funny thing, don't forget to immediately go to the new iPad, General/About and give the new iPad a 'new' name, as I believe it literally clones everything. 'including' the name of the old iPad to the new iPad. You don't want both devices with the same name.

For more info on this just Google, but this method should be the fastest, I believe, rather than up and?downloading from the cloud.?
That being said, it still make take a little time depending on how much storage is involved.?

All the best,
John?


 

I am not sure why Apple devices are "Off the Subject"

Have you tried backing up to your iCloud account, then syncing the new device??

You nay have to buy additional storage storage for one month.?

Well, because IOMUG stands for Internet-Only MAC Users' Group.

My thanks to all who've responded. As it happens, when I asked I was thinking of buying the new iPad at a Best Buy five minutes from our house. And I don't know that they'd do a t; so I was figuring I'd do it myself at home. But my wife prefers we buy it at the Apple Store which is about forty minutes away--the iPad is really for her--so she can ask any questions and such that occur to her. So I'll have them handle it. The way I understand it is they'll get it started for me, I'l hang there while it completes the switch.

“Mac” user groups are not limited to discussions about Macintosh computers. It’s common for this and other such groups to discuss all manner of Apple products and ancillary products and services.

The IO, or internet only, as opposed to face to face, when we still used dial-up modems and bulletin boards.

MUG, or Macintosh User Group, from when Mac was their only product. It has since expanded to Apple devices.

When this group was started, in 1994, there were no i-devices other than the Macintosh.

/g/iomug

Since then, Macintosh user groups have all grown to support all of Apple's i-devices.
In fact, technically, they aren’t called "Mac User Groups" anymore, but rather “Apple User Groups.”

Everything overlaps. Just look at, for example, networking a Mac computer with any other computer, not to mention connecting all sorts of mobile phones and tablets to a Mac via USB or even wifi.
