Transfer ipad ios 4.2.1 to ipad 2 ios 5

I have just ordered an ipad 2 .
I currently have an ipad 1 running ios 4.2.1 and have a number of apps, books, documents on goodreader, music and photos etc.
How do I transfer these to my new ipad? Will the backup and restore work across different versions?

As long as you aren't trying to transfer from a higher iOS version to a lower version then yes they should copy. For the restore to work fully you will need all the relevant apps on your computer's iTunes - a backup only contains the content and settings from the apps and not the actual apps themselves, so the iTunes restore needs access to the apps in its library.
Also photos that were synced from your computer and music/films/tv shows are not included in the backup - as they should already be on your computer there is no need to duplicate them in a backup. As long as they are still on your computer you should be able to sync them to the new iPad

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1? I created another account and put an iTunes gift card on it, but then I realized that all of my apps are on another account, so how do I move that money over?

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1? I created another account and put an iTunes gift card on it, but then I realized that all of my apps ere on another account, so when I recovered the password of my previous account, I had money on an account that I do not want to use. Can I transfer the money over?

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

I was hopeful I could use home sharing to sync my iTunes libraries,
Unfortunately, you can only stream content to your iOS devices via home sharing (not sync it).
I'd have a check through the following user tip instead:

HT4972 It says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean they will be lost? I have iPad 2, and would like to get iOS 6. Can I do that? Right now it is iOS 4. If I can get 6, do I have to go to 5 first?

I would like to upgrade my iPad to iOS 6. It is currently iOS 4.3.5. Can I do that? The article from apple says iTunes will not back up games, apps, etc. Does that mean I will lose them? Some of them I paid for and don't want to lose.

Yes you can upgrade from 4.3.3 to 6.0.
Your media - apps, games, music, photos, and so are not included in the backup. Your app data, settings, and many other things are included in the backup. After you update the iPad, you should sync with iTunes in order to put all of that content back into the iPad. This is what I recommend doing - I do it myself every time I update my iPads, or iPod Touch.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

How do I transfer an IPages doc from iMac to iPad

I have created a doc on imac 10.7.3 os using ipages. Want to down load the template to an Ipad for use to take meeting minutes. I have tried to run it thru ITunes, but no luck. Tried to export and save in folder where my photos are that go on my IPAD2 ......HELP

James,
You can't transfer "templates" created in Pages on your Mac to your iOS device. Templates are special files with the extension .template as opposed to normal pages documents with their .pages extension. You can't add templates to the template library on your iOS device; you can only add documents to your iOS device and re-use and re-name them as psuedo-templates.
In order for you to use the document you create on you Mac on your iOS device do the following (your iOS device needs to be connected to your Mac or connected to a power supply and using the same WiFi network as your Mac):
1. In iTunes go to your device Apps pane > File Sharing > Select Pages as the App > Click Add and locate your Pages Document - if the file isn't immediately copied to your iOS device, click on the Synch button.
2. On your iOS Device, open Pages and in the Document View (Thumbnails) tap the "+" button (upper left) and Add From iTunes - this will transfer the document into Pages and open the document.
3. Without editing the document, return to the Document View. You can place this document into a folder of similar documents that you would like to keep as "templates" - label the folder with something meaningful like "Masters"
4. To use the "templeate" in Pages on your iOS device, in Pages Document View > Edit (button upper right) > select the document (tap once) and when the Copy Icon appears (looks like two pages with a "+" sign) tap the Copy Icon - this will create a copy of your original "template" - rename it then you can edit, save, share, print, etc.
Hope this helps.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Upgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?

I'm ipgrading from an iPad1 (os 5.5.1) to a new iPad Air. I want to still use the original, but want to transfer my iPad 1 stuff to my new iPad. Do I restore (doesn't that also restore the old os?) or set up as new?
Also, every time I get a new device and transfer stuff from the old, I wind up with no folders. How can I avoid that this time?
Thanks in advance!

Make a backup of your old iPAd to itunes or iCloud.
Then restore from that backup when setting up the new iPad Air.
The restore will put your data onto the new iPad. (The Os will remain at 7).
Folder structure is a little iffy. Since backups don't restore Apps, only data, you would still need to re-download the Apps to the new Air and as such would need to create the folders for them.
