    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • How do I transfer Keychains from one mac to another mac?

    I recently got a new imac. I choose during the set-up process for the new imac to pass on pulling "all" the old information from my old G4 mac as there was stuff I just did not want to move and then have to find and delete on the new mac. However I would like to bring over specific items such as keychains.
    What is the best method to move my keychains from my old mac to my new one? I have tried several method that did not work.

    KT & V.T good suggestion which I had done previously what I missed was not only making sure the passwords were the same (changed my login password on the new imac). Also I was apparently only doing 1/2 of the process as I would use Keychain to create the new keychains but as soon as I disconnected from the G4 the new login in file went blank.
    Here was my complete process.
    On my g4 imac the one that had the keychain info for my new imac. I made a duplicate of the file and renamed them so I would know where they came from and they would not conflict with current login file. I then moved them to my public folder users/yourname/library/keychain on the G4.
    On my new mac I move those files from the G4 public folder into my new mac users/yourname/library/keychain. Then I opened Keychain access and in the file menu selected Add Keychain navigated to the above volume and selected the old keychain.
    Any other process than this left me with empty login folder once I disconnected from my old G4.
    Thanks again to KT & V.T who made me read and think a little more about what I needed to do.

  • How do you transfer information from one iPhone to another, when you started a new account instead of restore

    I Had to start the iPhone as a new setup as the software on the new phone was not up to date. Now, how can I get this to sync with my old phone Icloud backup.

    Hello Jardinesau,
    If you are having issues transferring your data from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone via an iCloud backup, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you've already set up your device, you can reset it so that you can go through the iOS Setup Assistant again and restore from your backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup.

  • How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

    I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G.  I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information.  How do i do that? 

    The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
    Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
    When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
    Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

    On the computer that is saying it wants to erase your phone, choose Store > Authorize this Computer... and enter the Apple ID and password of your iPhone.

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

    How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
