My iPad1 died. I ordered new iPad. How do I get the apps and contacts onto the new

I was never assiduous in synching my pad. I think I did sometimes. Doesn't Apple know what I bought from them? How do I tell them I want to switch from the old dead one to the new one? Am I in the iCloud? I don't know!

You have a few options
1. If you sync with your computer on a regular basis. Then you connect your iPad to your computer and select the option on your iPad that says "Restore from iTunes" [or Connect to iTunes].
On your computer, select Restore from Backup and select the latest date for that backup (if more than 1 is present). This will restore your iPad's apps, documents, pictures, email accounts, etc back.
2. If you used iCloud to back up your iPad. When you get your new iPad select "Restore from iCloud" and the rest will happen automatically. It may take a few hours so plug it in to the wall outlet and let everything restore.
Here are somethings that won't restore
A. Apps that have been removed from the AppStore for any reason. Even if you paid for it, you cant get it unless you sync with your computer.
B. Music that have been removed from the iTunes Store.
C. Movies, TV Shows that have been removed from iTunes Store
3. If you're starting a FRESH new iPad. You can set up your account. Use the SAME Apple ID as you did on your old iPad. If you don't remember which email address you used then search your emails (on your computer) for iTunes receipts. After you link your Apple ID to your new iPad; you want to go to the AppStore and select Purchased and then download the apps that you want to have on your iPad.
