How to transfer iBooks books from old iPad to new iPad?

I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a lot of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account.
I've also read several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad.
Is there a way to just copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything?

Transfer all purchases (this should transfer all the pdfs and books) from the old iPad to iTunes using the USB cable. If you have any new purchases on your new iPad do the same with that. You can then use iTunes to sync any apps, books, pdfs, music etc to the new iPad.

How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?

I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

How to transfer rmvb files from pc to the new ipad?

I just got the new ipad 3rd generation and this is my first ipad too. How can I transfer rmvb files from PC to the new iPad?

Rmvb files are Real media (yuck) files and are designed to be only playable in Real media player(ewww).
They will not playback natively on the iPad.
You must either convert them(good luck finding something that will handle that garbage) or use a third party player from the app store.

@Allu71 Hello. Welcome to the forum.
You need to set up the same Microsoft account on the new phone. After this, you may go to the Windows Phone Store on the web > Purchase history > Reinstall. You can have more info here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq

How to Transfer iTunes content from old computer to new

I have a new Windows 7 computer. I downloaded iTunes and now I want to transfer all my content from my old Windows Vista notebook to the new computer.
How do I do it? I don't see any import/transfer solution.
Thanks

Because there is nothing in iTunes to deal with this, no need to be.
Use the Windows Easy File Transfer utility to move all your data.
Or simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

FAQ--How to transfer run data from old Nano to new Nano

Go to this thread and follow the instructions. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=595567&tstart=0
To get your old runs from your old Nano into your new Nano (1st or 2nd generation), you do the same as you would to reupload runs from your Nano that have not posted to Nike+ (happens all the time). No doubt there will soon be loads of people needing to transfer their runs to their new 2nd gen Nano.

If you do follow these instructions and transfer your old runs from your old Nano to your new Nano, please do not expect that your total runs on your new Nano will be the same as on your Nike+ site.
Also, your new Nano is NOT a clone of your old Nano so it will NOT match exactly to the data on your old Nano if you put your old runs on the new Nano (totals, etc won't match).
Unless you're a programmer or serious hacker, most users can only edit the XML files on the Nano--"Lastworkout" "preferences" and your run data files in "latest" & "synched." The Unix Executable Files are out of reach for me anyway.
Maybe someone will figure out how to do more, but I suspect our time would be better spent RUNNING!

How to transfer iTunes films from old mac to new mac

Hi,
I think I know that I have to plug in my iPhone and deathorize the old Mac and then plug in to the new Mac, but I recall the last time I did this I lost the films I'd bought on iTunes. There's only 4 or 5 films there but I don't want to lose them - how do I transfer them?
Thanks a lot,

Copy it to an external drive or over a network. Any rented movies moved through these methods won't play on the new computer.
Alternatively, connect the iPhone to the new computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes. Movies rented from the old computer will transfer and play.

How to transfer email folders from old Mac to new Mac, How to transfer email folders from old Mac to new Mac

How do I transfer email folders with all messages from a i-Mac G5 (OSX 10.4.11) to a new iMac with OSX 10.6.7?

Martin,
I would recommend starting over this time using Setup Assistant. Because you are migrating from a PPC machine I would migrate everything EXCEPT applications. You should manually install your apps, this will give you the opportunity to udate the ones that need it and I'm sure there are many. You may even apps that won't run on Intel based machines so why migrate them at all? You can use the Setup Assistant tips beginning at "Second chance...." You can either restore from your old machine or from one of it's backups. I think you'll see it's a pretty clean process, something you passed over (I'm not sure why) when you turned on the new iMac for the first time.

How to transfer itunes music from old computer to new computer

I am sure someone has asked this question before but darned if I can find it anywhere...I have a new computer and want to transfer my music (which was loaded from CDs) from my old computer to my new one. I also want to keep my playlists that I spent time setting up. But when I plug my ipod touch into my new computer it simply asks me if I want to wipe all the music on it and replace it with what is in itunes on the new computer ie. nothing.
Help!

Quit iTunes and click over to your My Documents folder. Inside this folder, go to My Music. Inside My Music is your iTunes music folder. Now, copy this to a flash drive (if its big enough), an external hard drive, online using backup services like Mozy, or burned onto a CD-R or a DVD. You can even enable Disk Use on your iPod and move it there.
After you copy the iTunes library, disconnect whatever you used and take it to your new computer.
