How do I transfer all of my data from one iPad to another? It is not a new iPad, but a still used current iPad that I want the data to be transferred to. It was once transferred the data when I first got the new iPad but I did something to not have the data from the other iPad anymore. What can I do?
iPad, iOS 10
Perhaps the easiest method of transferring data from one iPad to another is to start by properly wiping the destination iPad - and setting-up again as a new iPad. Using this process you can use your old iPad as the source. This procedure is likely to be the simplest method to completely wipe the iPad and start again:

An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:
