How do i transfer files from old ipad to new ipad if it has already been activated as new?

I purchased a new ipad and need to transfer files from my old ipad.  However, it has already been set up as new and all support suggestions I have found have been for choosing the restore option in the set-up stage.  How do I do it now that it has been activated?

It depends on if you even have a backup. If you had a backup, I don't suppose that you would have to ask how to restore from it.
Did you backup your old iPad? If you so, did you backup with iTunes or iCloud? This explains how to backup and how to restore from a backup, but once again, if you don't have that backup any longer, this will not work.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

  • How do i transfer files from old mac with frozen screen?

    My PowerBook G4 just froze. I bought a new MacBook Pro. How do I transfer files from my old mac to my new one. I have firewire cable with firewire adapter for the new Mac. And the old mac has a disk that won't eject.

    Turn your PowerBook off. Connect both computers with the firewire cable and then start your PB in Target Disk Mode (press the T and the power button at the same time, and keep the T pressed until your PB's hard drive mounts on the MBP's desktop. Then, you can use Migration Assistant, or good ol' drag and drop, your call.
    If your PowerBook cannot enter Target Disk Mode, then you have bigger problems...;-)

  • How do I transfer files from old Mac to Mac Air using ethernet to usb connection?

    How can I transfer files from my previous Mac to new Mac Air using an ethernet cable from the Old Mac, connecting to the Mac Air with an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor?

    Yes, you can use the usb ethernet adapter.
    If you haven't started the new Air up yet, you can use the Setup Assistant that appears the first time you turn it on.
    Otherwise, you can just use the Migration Assistant utility.
    Cheers!

  • How do i transfer files from old Desktop PC to new Satellite L750?

    Hi everyone - Newbie to this site so be gentle with me please .
    Specifically I want to ask: (a) Will the MS Word 7 Starter that is already fitted to my Toshiba laptop accept many files from my old Desk Top, mostly Word documents? What sort of capacity has the Starter? What is the best device to use - a portable harddrive? USB? Disks?
    and
    (b) How do I retrieve my Bing Toolbar? Currently I do not have a tool bar that shows file,new,cut/paste at all. I do have a search space for Bing on my desktop, but nothing else except one toolbar at the top where I type in addresses that is on the far top righthand side with Home, Star and a Cog. Above that there isjust a minimise, maximise and cross for close.
    Thanks so much

    Dont worry about Office documents. New version can read old documents.
    About data transfer I can also say that easiest way for data transfer or data back-up is external HDD. You can buy small and mobile 2,5 external HDD and use it for data back-up and data transfer if you have big amount of different data.
    If you have to copy less than 8GB you can use small USB stick. They are not expensive and for few Euros you can buy 8GB USB stick.
    Last week I bought SanDisc 8GB USB stick for 8 Euros.
    About Bing toolbar I cannot say much because I dont use it.

  • How do I transfer files from old computer to the new one

    I have bought the desktop and used migration asiitant to transfer files but nothing came through, how do i transfer files

    Your best option of migrating was when your turned on the new computer for the first time using Setup Assistant. Part of SA is it asks if you are migrating from another Mac, you apparently passed that and missed that opportunity. You then must have used Migration Assistant which is similar to SA but with one critical difference. Migration Assistant migrates everything to a new user account whereas SA would not. Log out of your existing account and into the new account and you will find your stuff. If you want to start over (highly recommended) you can. You will need to carefully read Lion Setup Assistant tips beginning where he discusses Second Chance.... This will take some time but in the long run make your migration more seamless.

  • How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    If you can get both computers on the Internet at the same time without re-cabling, you have the connection infrastructure needed to enable file sharing and share those files.
    That said, many users find it easier to use FireWire Target Disk mode to treat the old computer as a big Hard drive, and just drag and drop the files, or use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistent.
    There is a really good guide here:

  • How transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

    how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

    In answer to the question:
    how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
    Transfering a file from Garageband on the Mac to Garageband in the iPad is not just a case of putting it in iTunes as a number of people seem to state.  The XML package which is the Garageband Song File has to be changed before a Garageband Mac file will be downloadable to the iPad.  This can be done manually but is time consuming and tedious.  After doing it manually a few times and making mistakes, I have created an Applescript Application to do this called:
    Garageband Mac to iPad Oneshot Converter
    I have made a video of the converter in use which I have post on my Youtube ' fixed1t ' pages.  This Application and the video solves the question above and shows the song file on the mac being moved and running on the iPad.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ruT-dUhh2c
    There is a link on the Description of the fixed1t youtube video to enable viewers to download a trial version. The link will also allow viewers to purchase a copy once you have tried i, but you are under no obligation to purchase and the trial is completely free.  I am selling it for £5 UK and I will receive over £4 of this should you decide to purchase using the PayPal link.
    Please try it out and give me feedback, even if you don't wish to buy it.
    Thanks Malcolm (aka fixed1t)

  • How do I transfer files from a Windows laptop to an iPad and ensure they are accessible please?

    Hello...
    I am new to the Apple community and would be very grateful for some help. My Dad recently purchased an iPad. He is a professor and has his lectures saved on his Window laptop (predominantly PowerPoint, plus PDFs and Word files) but wants them on his iPad and needs to be able to access them all. He has mistaken me for some kind of computer whiz and thinks I'm able to do this; the truth is I haven't got a clue where to start.
    Any idiot-proof advice and/or ideas on how best to transfer files from a Windows 7 laptop to iPad (including whatever apps, if any need to be bought) would be very greatly appreciated
    Thanks very much all

    Hi Julian,
    Sorry for the delay in response, I didn't think many answers would come in so quickly being Christmas and all...
    My Dad only needs to be able to access files for reference; any editing or alteration to pre-existing files would largely be done on a desktop or his laptop. In the meantime, Dropbox does look ideal and I will investigate along with the other great ideas suggested on here for the best option.
    Thanks very much...
