Transfer from one iPad to a new ipad

To restart the transfer process, or a transfer fails, you'll need to reset the target iPad. If you are able to access iPad settings:

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

If the transfer process has stalled, or the target iPad is unresponsive, perform a forced-restart of the target iPad:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

These support pages should get you started with setup of a 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.

“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:

Apps are not directly transferred between devices. For Apps, the transfer process creates a record of the Apps that are installed on the donor iPad - and it is this record of installed Apps that is transferred to the target (new) device. For Apps that are still available for download from the App Store, the corresponding Apps are automatically downloaded and installed from the App Store.

Not all Apps will, necessarily, continue to be available. Apps may have been removed or retired from the App Store by the respective App Developer. Some Apps may have been abandoned - and may not be compatible with the new device. Where a compatible App is not available, you’ll not be able to transfer/install the App.

All Apps that you purchase are forever tied to the AppleID account from which they are purchased. All devices that are signed-in to iCloud and the App Store with the same AppleID are able to download and install the same Apps - without having to pay again.

Keep both devices connected to their respective Power Adapters throughout the transfer process - as this will keep the WiFi radios active.

The time required will be determined by many factors, including but not limited to:

• how much data must be restored
• the speed/throughput of your internet connection
• the speed/throughput of your WiFi network
• server loading; assuming an iCloud backup, Apple’s regional servers may be busy

The only aspect that you may be able to directly influence is your WiFi network. You should note, however, that the slowest item in the chain will ultimately be the limiting factor.

how long should the "transfer" take - the new ipad times out repeatedly during the process cuz it is impossible to reset the lock times & timeouts on the new device until after it is completely done with the process - worse- the new ipad wants to download ios 17.1.1 in the middle of this
