How to Backup Your Old iPad and Restore to iPad Air

I show you how to backup your iPad using iCloud, and then how to restore your backup to another iPad. In this video I backup my iPad Air and then turn the iPad Air 2 on for the first time, and restore from iCloud backup. When the iPad Air 2 finishes restoring, it looks exactly the same as the iPad Air. It even has the same wallpaper, apps, and photos.

I everyone air in here for xolo tech and
i wanted to show you how to backup your
old iPad and transfer all of your data
to your new iPad
this is an ipad air this is an ipad air
2 i've never turn this on so i thought
i'd show you with a fresh start so let's
open this up
it's unlocked and as you can see I have
my iPad notifications and different apps
and one of the questions I get asked a
lot is what will actually transfer what
will I actually move from one to the
other in the quick answer is everything
everything that's here for the most part
will be over here there are a couple
exceptions some of that is photos and
videos photos and videos you want to
make sure are backed up depending on
what you're using how you're using
backups
I'll show you that in a moment how
you're using backups it may not back up
all of them so you wanna make sure that
you have those stored elsewhere also
just in case so anything from photos
videos in particular and also music if
you have not purchased your music from
the itunes music store using the itunes
store or you don't have itunes match
you're going to want to have that
somewhere else so if you have it on
itunes on your Mac or Windows computer
that's no problem you can move it over
after so let's talk about the backup now
the back of also bring over all of your
messages all of those text messages that
you might be using on your iPad will
bring over this is true of an iphone as
well and all of your saved games with in
your games
so let's first go and check our backup
so we're going to go to settings once
we're in settings we're going to scroll
down to iCloud once we're in iCloud now
this may look a little bit different for
you depending on which version of iOS
you're running this is the latest iOS
8.1 so down here
find back up you can see it's turned
down and the last backup was 8 14 am now
if you're not using iCloud to back up
that's okay
make sure you're doing it on itunes
instead connecting to your computer
now if i go back and you're using iCloud
make sure all these things are turned on
that you want to
have backed up then you're going to back
everything up so let's do that
we'll just go to back up again
back up now
now we'll only backup when you're on
Wi-Fi so make sure you're on your home
Wi-Fi network or some Wi-Fi network
elsewhere after this is done backing up
we'll look at it when it restores on the
ipad air 2 as you can see the backup is
now complete says 948 p.m.
it's 950 p.m. let's move over to the new
iPad
let's turn it on and again this is
turning it on for the first time and
we'll wait for it to boot up
the new ipad is booted up will unlock it
to set our language select where we live
choose a Wi-Fi network it's going to
take a second
join the Wi-Fi network
then we're going to either enable or
disable our location services and here's
where we restore now depending on how
you back this up you're going to select
that option in my case it's the iCloud
backup
we're going to log in with our account
username and password once we have our
iCloud username and password in place we
hit next and then we're going to have to
agree to these terms and conditions or
we won't be able to use it
so as you can see here is our latest
backup it says today at 948 that's the
one we want
simply tap on it wait a second
now we could look at older backups if we
wanted to as well this will take a
moment to restore but it doesn't restore
all at once it restores a little bit
when it reboots the ipad and once it's
restored it starts to bring all of the
other apps over you can see it says
restoring about seven hours that's not
really accurate
it's probably going to take a moment and
then it will take a few more minutes
maybe 20 minutes so be patient just come
back if you had a lot of apps that was
going to take longer if you don't
obviously it's going to be shorter and
it's somewhat depends on your Wi-Fi
speed as well
the update completed successfully so
we'll have to hit continue
we'll have to put in our password for
our iCloud ID again after you hit next
this is updating iCloud settings and now
you can select what you want as far as I
message and facetime hit next and then
an ipad air 2 you can set up touch ID or
you don't have to do this so i'll create
a passcode
if you have icloud keychain you can
approve it from another device use a
security code or whatever you want to
use else I'll prove it from another
device and it will pop up either on my
mac or my iPad or whatever and as you
can see here allow errands ipad air to
use iCloud keychain and i do want to
allow this
that was a lot of entering password but
you can see it says your Apple ID and
phone number are now being used for
imessage facetime on a new ipad it okay
get started and you can see it looks
identical and it says restoring apps and
media when it restore is now this will
take some time you can see it's loading
it's going to do that with all of the
different
apps once it's done and it doesn't want
me to associate any more devices with
this Apple ID have used them all but you
get the idea i have a lot of Apple
devices with my own personal ID so i
have to remove them on some thought I
just show you that's pretty nice you can
do that and you can see it's restoring
now it's already restored my contacts
everything will match
now it's moving on to the next the only
things a little bit different is the app
store has an update actually did an
update on this one
in between shooting the video so it will
take a moment and I may have to put in
my password for my different email
addresses so keep that in mind
otherwise everything will be the same
backgrounds the same and then we can
continue using it from there
hopefully that helped to restore from an
old to a new ipad if you have any
comments or questions you want to ask

try and get back to each one of those if
