Move Apps From 1 iPad to Another ??

I am Planing on Purchasing The New iPas2 on March 11th and I have over 181 Apps on my Original iPad. My Question is I have them Backedup on my iTunes on My Computer so Can I Switch them to the NEW iPad when I Get it ???
It Would of course be the same iTunes account. on the new one as the old one.

THANKS 🙂

iPad, Windows 7

Yes - if you want their settings/stats you'll need to 'restore' the new iPad with the backup from your current one so that they get copied onto it (I don't think that there should be any problem with doing this).

I thought you were unable to get your apps to transfer on your new PC.

Are you hoping for better luck with a new iPad or did you finally succeed?

My Ipad wont Sync all of my apps only half like I was discussing in the other thread. BUT if I really Wanted them I can re-Download them Manually in iTunes for free to get 98% of them back.

I really don't want to do a restore on the NEW iPAD2 when I get it Just Transfer Some of my Apps I Already Paid for to it.

I got my IPAD 2 today. I had an IPAD 1.

I ran the restore program and, after updating all the system software, the synch was fine. All apps ported over. What did not port over were the folders so I had to put the aps into their folders.

No problame.

I haven't tried this myself, but if the iPad works anything like the iPhone, just backup and sync your "old" iPad. Then connect the "new" one, it should now ask if you want to restore the "old" iPad backup. Select the restore and you should be set.
