Should i create a new ipad or update from backup

Hi I have a new ipad Air and an older ipad. I would like to be able to use my purchased apps and other data on my new ipad that are already in use on my old ipad.
In setting up the new ipad should I check set up new ipad or should I set it up using the backup of my old ipad?
Any thought welcome.
Regards
Colin

I've always restored my new iPads from the backup of the old one, so unless something's been going wrong with your old iPad, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't restore your new iPad Air from the old one so you get back all your settings and data.
Regards.

  • Itune forces to setup as new ipad or restore from backup?!

    I have 3 ipads and 2 iphones in my house sharing the same apple ID, but when I tried to connect one of the ipads to itune on my PC, it only gives option to set up as new phone or restore from backup, either option would wipe out the data I already have on the ipad. All other devices can connect to itune without problems. Found another thread with the same problem, but the solution of logging on windows with different user does not solve my problem. Can anyone help? Itune has to be the worst and dumbest product from apple!

    I too have this very frustrating issue. It worked fine 2 weeks ago.
    I have two devices setup, and they have the same name, but that has never been a problem as one is a 5G 80GB iPod, and the other is an iPhone 3GS.
    Now, everytime I plug my iPhone into my PC, iTunes comes up and asks me to restore.
    Grrr... I have restored 3 times. I have also performed a complete iPhone reset and a restore... same thing, and I have no idea why.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

  • How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

    When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons.  However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

    The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
    However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
    If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
    The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.

  • HT5622 My husband will become the primary user of our Apple account. Should he create a new Apple ID or should I change my Apple ID to his info?

    I started with an iPod years ago and have since added an iPad and iPhone 5S to our list of products.  My husband is the primary user of the iPad and iPhone.  Should I change my Apple ID information to his name or should he create a new Apple ID and have my content transferred to his account?

    Who ever uses the iCloud email address or has their contacts, calendars etc etc on the account should keep the existing ID for iCloud, the other one should create their own ID, you can both keep using the current ID for iTunes if you have a shared media collection.

  • Should I create a new Apple ID for new device?

    Hi, I just got a iPod Touch and I also own a iPhone. Should I create a new Apple ID for the iPod Touch or share with the existing one for the iPhone?

    As content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, you are better off using the same account for all your devices - you can put content from the one account on multiple devices. You don't really gain anything by having multiple accounts, if anything it makes things worse e.g. having to remember two account ids and passwords.

    I don't want to lose all my pics, songs etc
    Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • Creating a new position and updating IT 1028 using HCM processes and forms

    I have to create a new position and update the related infotypes using the design time framework of HCM processes and forms. The problem I am facing is the info type 1028 is not a part of the de coupled infotype framework and does not appear in the service fields list. How can I update the infotype 1028? I was thinking of updating it using the FLUSH method of the class implementing the ADV services interface IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE_ADVANCED by calling the function module RH_INSERT_INFTY. But, how do I get the position ID created? Is there any other way of achieving this? Please help as soon as possible.

    HI
    Create one Function Module to return all the vacant positions and load that in a drop down.
    For IT1028 you have to update via the RH_INSERT_INFTY.
    Kind Regards,

  • How long should I charge the New iPad battery ??

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me :
    How long should I charge the New iPad battery ??
    i dont know, and i cant find this on the apple page.
    i know that with the iPod Touch Five and Four Generation, the charge its only 2-4 hours but on the iPad how long is the charge?
    im really miss it!
    Can someone help me ?
    Thanks!!

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • How to create a new view by copying from standard view in IC webclient?

    Hello, expert,
    I need to enhance a sap standard component (BP_Factsheet), inside it I need to create a new view by copying from an existing standard view (Acitivities). However when I try to make a copy, I was asked for destination BSP application, I entered the Z-Application which I used when defining enhancement for the component. After the copy, I don't see the new view.
    Then I tried the destination BP_factsheet, instead of the z-application, then after the copy, I can see the new view. However since it's in SAP application, it seems like it's a MOD, not enhancemnet, and inside the new view, the classes (for context, context nodes, etc.) are not in custom namespace (not starting with Z).
    So please let me know how can I make a copy of sap standar view in custom namespace.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jayson

    When copying you can put any BSP name..normally the practice is to prefix the standard name with a Z.
    Secondly when you want to make changes to the individual classes and methods you need to right click and say enhance. Then the AZ class names etc would be generated. The view should appear in the component wherein you copied the original view from.
    I hope this helps.
    The cookbook should have details on this. Otherwise also its quite intuitive.
    Award points if it helps.
    Thanks.

  • Sync as new iPad or restore from iPod?

    I just bought a new iPad (16GB). When I connected it to my four-year-old MacBookPro running 10.5.8, I was asked in iTunes whether I wanted to set it up as a new iPad or restore from my second-generation iPod. I have sime new apps on the iPad which I do not want overwritten, but I also would like to have many of the apps on my iPod on my iPad as well. Which option should I select?

    Not sure if I'd do it from an iPhone, but the clear advantages would be (same for ipad wifi to ipda 3G) that your saved passwords and other app-specific info is brought over. Otherwise, while it's easy to re-sync all apps etc, their info (logon, customizations etc.) would need to be setup anew as well.
    Why not try it? You can always restore-mode and start from scratch if there are ANY issues.

    Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
