Transferring data, iBooks etc. from old to new iPad

I am upgrading from the original iPad to an IPad Air 2. How do I migrate data, apps, iBooks etc. from the old iPad to the new one. I can see a back up feature on the iPad but it's not clear exactly what gets backed up. Does it include cookies?

For expediency, configure iTunes to sync EVERYTHING (books, movies, songs, apps) and store stuff locally. Enable encryption (just don't forget the password you set) and even your passwords, cookies get saved in the backup file. When the new device is plugged in and iTunes recognizes as such, the restored result will be identical even in the screen icon placement. Storing locally on the computer's drive results in a faster restore since all the stuff is already there and not subject to network vagaries.

    If you have been syncing your old iPad regularly with your computer you can sync the new iPad to the same computer and transfer your stuff easily that way.

  • Transferring iCal dates, info, etc from old drive into a new iCal ?

    My G5 died finally and I had to replace it w/a new drive. Apple Genius was able to recover all my old files thank god but I am now having the unfortunate task of trying to get everything back in order. In particular iCal. I see all the dates and stuff I'd like to just drag and drop but that's not working. What advice can someone give for trying to update older information from iCal, w/out having to copy/paste manually everything little thing? I want to get everything in order before I use Time Machine to back up everything up on this new drive.
    THANKS!!!

    You can do two different things that have worked for me in the past. You can export the calendars you want (File-->Export...) Then just import that file on the new computer.
    Or you can back up iCal (File-->Back up iCal...) then use that file to restore iCal in the new calendar. When I did a restore in my new calendar it did not have ANY info so I don't know if a restore completely replaces everything in the current calendar files as well...but if you are starting fresh you may be OK>
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I move contacts etc from old to new phone ??

    Hi, we bought my stepson an iPhone 5c for xmas and I want to move all his info from his old 3G to his new phone but I seem to be struggling.
    To start with I did a full backup of is old phone through his laptop ( not an Apple ) through iTunes and then connected the 5C and updated the software etc and just assumed that it would ask me at some point if I wanted to transfer the information but nothing happened and I seem to have come to a grinding halt.
    Can anyone help me as I really want to sort it before he arrives back tomorrow
    Many thanks
    Tony

    More often than not, your iPhone 3g will have contacts spread across multiple accounts (including local "phone" account) that are not backed up by Google contacts. You may also have multiple gmail accounts connected. The best way to sync contacts to your iPhone without any losing information is to use InTouchApp. Just install on both phones & login - done! It is the easiest way to keep hopping phones without ever losing your contacts. It is available on all stores.

  • Transferring Time Machine backup from old to new Time Capsule

    After transferring my old Time Machine backup from a 5 year old Time Capsule to a new Airport Time Capsule, my MacBook Air wants to start a new full Time Machine backup to the new TC. I was under the impression that the Time Machine backups would pick up where they left off. Was I mistaken? Is the backup supposed to begin anew even if you've transferred an old backup?
    Also, if it must begin from scratch, how would I access the old TM backups if I needed to restore a file from the old backup?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    How far did you go? By that I mean did you allow the MBA to actually start the backup.
    It can be very simple thing.. I have done it lots of times in my repairs to Time Capsules.. if I move a sparsebundle to another location, TM will not even check for the old sparsebundle until it start running.
    So the operation is as follows..
    Move the sparsebundle.
    There is an Apple document as well as what Pondini produced.
    Transfer TM backups..
    Apple doco. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5097
    Pondini doco http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    As long as you are talking network backups it doesn't much matter. The same rules apply to moving the sparsebundle.
    When you reset TM to the new location of the backup.. it will always tell you it will begin a new backup..
    As long as you did not change the computer name.. or install a new OS or upgrade.. only when the backup actually starts will it look for existing sparsebundles.. find it.. and begin from where it left off.
    So you simply have to start. Wait for TM to figure out there is an existing sparsebundle with the correct name.. and start what will often be a deep scan of the existing sparsebundle. So it can take a long time.. and we do still recommend doing this first one by ethernet.. albeit on an Air that does mean buying the thunderbolt to ethernet dongle.
    As a general principle I generally recommend people do start a new backup. Archive the old one.. it is easy to access old backups.. Again see pondini FAQ.. 14-17 on all the neato things you can do.

  • Transfering Mail, Addressbook etc from backup to new MBP

    I am planning on buying a new MBP to replace my iMac G5 which i have sold , before i sold it i made a full backup of the hard disk using SuperDuper to an external drive.
    My question is, when i get the new MBP what is the best way to transfer Mail, Addressbook, calendar and iTunes etc to the new MBP from the external drive. Is it as simple as copying my home directory over? Or is there some other recommended way.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    The simplest way to transfer your data is to use the Migration assistant which will transfer from the clone of your original drive or -from your powerbook (pjasso-) to the new 'book.
    If one has backed up their databases as provided in the apps, then you can simply transfer those as:
    If you just want to transfer the ICal and Addressbook databases, then you can use the "import" options or the "revert to to database backup" options in the applications themselves. You can "revert" to any backup on any disk you choose.
    Simply copying the home folder is not always a good option since your new preferences for the macbook would differ from those for any g4 or g5. The migration asst does not replace intel with ppc when inappropriate whereas copying would.
    You can copy your data or use the import options in each app; importing being the better option there.

  • Transferring contacts/phone numbers from iPhone to new iPad

    How do I do that?  I've synced my iPhone and iPad to iCloud via my Mac, but when I try to send a message and pick the person/phone # from the list on my iPad, it has a red exclamation point behind it and won't send message.  Help, please!

    If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

    Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

    Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

  • Missing songs when transferring from old to new laptop

    Hi
    I have just moved my songs from old to new laptop.  Unfortuantely it has not copied all of them over, when I try to play in itunes it asks me to locate them.  I have checked what has copied over and it has definately left them off, problem is it's left off quite a lot.  Was there something that I should have done on the old laptop before copying them to an external device?
    sue

    To do that, you need to go to "/Applications/System Preferences" then go to the "Accounts" prefpane, then click on the user you want to delete, then click on the minus button in the bottom left corner of the window, but make sure you are logged in as the good user to do this and that the good user is an administrator.

  • New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

    Hi,
    I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
    This is what I did so far:
    Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
    Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
    Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
    So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
    Is there a way to do this one shot??
    Thanks!
    RJ.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.
