I'm upgrading from iPad2 to iPad air.  how can I transfer all my data and apps from one to the other?

Hi, I'm upgrading from my iPad2 to the iPad Air.  What is the most painless way to transfer all my data from one device to another?
I have iannotate, which I've just found out is no longer syncing via iCloud (I thought that's what I was paying all that storage for) and a lot of catalogued PDF's on it.  Is there any other way besides plugging it in to my old Mac via iTunes to do the transfer?

Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

    This is one of the most basic of functions of the iPhone.  This is a good time for you to read the User Guide.  All the instructions on how to operate yor phone are included.  I suggest you read through it.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • Can I transfer all my date and apps to my new Ipad

    This may also be useful.  Although backing up and restoring via iCloud works, doing it via iTunes may be better, and here's why:
    Via iCloud your actual apps are not backed up, just a record of the fact that you legally own them.  When you restore, your new device knows it's OK to download and install them again from the App Store.  This is fine for all apps that are still available, but for those that have been removed from the App Store you're going to be without them.
    It is also a lot faster to transfer a ton of apps from iTunes via the cable than to download them all over wifi.
    Another advantage of doing it via iTunes is that all your network/wifi settings and passwords will be included in the backup/restore process.  (Make sure you have selected "encrypted backup" for this to happen.)  This way you will not need to mess around typing them all in again.
    I've tried both methods and would definitely recommend going "old school" via iTunes for these reasons.  Hope this helps.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
    are you PC or Mac?

  • I plan to upgrade from an iPad 2 - 16gh to an iPad2 - 64gh.  How can I transfer all my data to the new iPad?

    How can I transfer all my apps & data from an iPad 2 - 16g to an iPad 2 - 64g?

    Transfer your purchases of the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then backup up the iPad by right-clicking it under 'Devices' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords on the new iPad.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

    Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

    Hi Vanessa,
    There are two ways to solve your problem.
    1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
    2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

    Hello,
    Please allow me to explain my situation:
    I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
    I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
    Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
    I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
    How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
    Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.
    Edward
