Transfer content from first generation IPad to IPad Air

I am planning to move all of my content from my first generation IPad to the IPad Air. What is the best way to accomplish this given the older operating system on the first generation IPad.

After your updated your new iPad Mini to iOS 8.3 you have to put it back into setup mode to do the the restore from the iOS 8.3 iPad 3 backup.
To do this choose Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings on the Mini.

  • How do you transfer photos from laptop to ipad air?

    How do you transfer photos from your laptop to ones ipad air?

    You transfer photos during a sync with iTunes.
    First organize your photos. If you're using a Mac use iPhoto to create photo albums. If you're using a PC organize your photos by creating a main photos folder. Inside of that folder creat folders and sort photos into topics or dates. Do not create any additional folders inside the first nested folder.
    Then start iTunes on your computer. If you don't have iTunes on your computer download it form Apple it's free. If you already have iTunes make sure it is iTunes 11.1 or later. If it is an earlier version of iTunes update it.
    Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes. Then select Photos from the row of tabs that are presented.
    You can choose to sync photos from iPhoto or navigate to your main photo folder. Then select to sync all photos or select just the albums you want on your device.
    Finally click apply or sync at the bottom of the iTunes screen on your computer.

  • Can't transfer iBooks from Mac to iPad Air

    I have just recently got an iPad Air and am trying to sync a couple epub books I downloaded.  All of the research I've done to try and sync them tells me I can sync it through iTunes.  But when I choose File>Devices>Sync, it doesn't give me the option of "books".  It is only giving me the option to sync "my iPad".  I don't know where I'm going wrong or why other options won't come up.  Help?

    My mac's got OSX 10.6 and the Windows Phone app doesn't support it.
    Does this help?
    If you use a Windows Phone 8 device, you have to go for Windows Phone App 3, at least I had to. Therefore, you need at least OS X v10.7. Because OS X v10.9 is offered for free even for OS X v10.6 users, did you consider that path?

    You plugged it into your Mac? Works here!
    Nokia 300 » Menu » Settings » USB » ‘Ask on connection’ or ‘Memory Card’.

    If you Mac does not show the microSD on the desktop, what SD-Adapter do you use (brand/model)? Some require a software driver to be installed to work with OS X.

  • How do I transfer content from my old iPad to my new iPad?

    We have bought a new iPad and want to transfer the apps (and books) from the old one to the new one.  What is the best way to do this?

    Yeah...this doesn't work for me.  I have an iPad 2 and the new 2012 iPad.  I backed up the iPad 2 after transferring all purchases.  Then I dismounted the iPad 2 and mounted the new iPad.  Did a restore to it. Barely anything came over after all that time.  I've done this three times and slightly different results, but nothing NEAR like my iPad is set up.  Basically only 10-20% of what's supposed to be on there was restored to my new iPad.  And this is after I did a completel re-install of iTunes.

  • I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

  • First generation iPad doesn't want to stream video from Amazon Prime. My iPhone 4s works. What's up with that?

    i'm trying to stream a video from my first generation iPad to my Apple TV. I'm able to stream from my iPhone 4S using AirPlay from my Amazon prime account. The iPad gives me a small box with the title of the movie. I can hear the audio,but I can't see the video. I can stream YouTube movies, but not the Amazon prime movies from the first generation iPad to the Apple TV. What can I do?

    Are both running the same version of the app?
    May want to Contact Amazon

    I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad.  My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1.  Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.
