Transfer game progress

I just bought the latest iPad Pro and had hoped that all my hayday game progress had been transferred from my old iPad Pro. I did a manual backup

prior to the update and it looks as though everything came forward except my hayday seven years of farming🥵. I’m back to the hayday app as it was at the beginning. What can I do. All the data is still on my old ipad.

Thank you for any help.

iPad Air, iOS 12

How did you perform the transfer from the old to new iPad? While you created a backup (always advisable to have at all times), did you at least attempt using QuickStart - which may help with moving App-data that is not necessarily included within a backup?


These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available. Any device running iOS12 is capable of update to iOS 12.5.7.


“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.


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

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support



As you still have the original iPad with intact data, you can reset your new iPad and repeat the transfer process - using QuickStart:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content & Settings


If QuickStart doesn’t resolve transfer of your App data, check to see if the App itself offers an online backup option. If necessary, consider contacting the App Developer for assistance:
