Restored new iPad from iPhone, but apps' settings didn't transfer

Question

I just got a new iPad. I chose to restore it from my iPhone backup when iTunes asked. All of the apps made their way over, but I was surprised to see that the settings, such as login info (username/password, email account settings, etc.) didn't make it for any of the apps. Is that normal? Do I really have to set up all the apps by hand (including email accounts) - there's no way to have all the settings and preferences get copied over as well?

Answer 1

I am also assuming you bought a brand new out of the box iPad and it is
running iOS 4.2. which I should have asked from the get go but moving on ....
yep - brand new iPad, running the latest iOS.
From the reading I've done, I find it odd that the devices tab shows 3
different iPad backups in iTunes. The article states...
+iTunes keeps only one backup created during the sync process for each device.
yes! I saw this too - it's very weird. I could make a screengrab of what I see - there are definitely more than one iPad backup (but only one iPhone backup) listed.
The fact that you recent backup occurred so quickly indicates that the
information wasn't restored to the iPad. Did iTunes ask for the password? If
not then it wouldn't have transferred the info from your phone when you "
restored and that's why it's telling you the operation could not be completed
would be my assumption.
it did ask for the password (which it also had in the keychain, so it was automatically filled in). It did a second phase after the first quick "restoring" where it took a while to copy the apps - so I know it did copy all the apps (I see them on the iPad), just not the settings...
Here are some articles that may be relevant in one way or another. Forgive me
if I am repeating information.
thanks; I did read all this, but everything states that the settings should come along when I restore
I'm sort of at a loss now unless you delete the encrypted backup, unencrypt the
phone and backup again, restore the iPad as a new device and then backup and
live with having to enter all of the passwords.
yeah, I can do that. I will also try creating a new account on my Mac (with an empty iTunes), connect and back up the phone to an encrypted backup, and try restoring that to an iPad (maybe my existing backup on the iTunes account is somehow incomplete since it used to be unencrypted).
I really thought this would be a relative no brainer but it might make sense to
speak to someone with more brains than me (that shouldn't be too tough) like
Apple Support. http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
yeah, everything I read on-line makes it seem like this should be easy. I'll call them tonight when I'm home in front of the Mac and the iPad...
thanks!
