Transferring content from apps to new ipad

Sorry if this is the wrong section

I jus bought a new ipad, and i was jus wondering hw to transfer those apps content from old ipad to the new ones.

The contents I was referring to was stuffs like games histories, such as the levels and achievements. (i got a game called bubble mania, and i got quite far in it, i dont wanna redo it all over again. Hahas)

As well as contents in an apps called the "ppstream". (i kinda downloaded 10+ gigabytes of movies in it, so redownloading it is quite a hassle)

I used the backup using itunes, and it does reinstalled all those apps i used, but all the apps are empty so its kinda useless.

Did i did the wrong backup? or are they any more extra steps that needed to be done?

is there any way to make a complete copy of the ipad or clone it to the new ipad?

Thanks in advance

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi

You have to have a current backup of the old iPad before you restore the new iPad from the backup of the old iPad. Read this and see if it becomes clearer to you. You should probably transfer purchases as well so that all of your bases are covered.

Transfer purchases.

Transfer purchases from the old iPad, backup the old iPad and sync one last time. Then restore the new iPad from the backup of the old one and sync with iTunes.

I tried the solution u gave me, and i did get all of my apps from my old ipad to the new ipad.

Unfortunately, the apps are basically empty. The app's contents doesnt transfer to the new ipad. (I still have to redo the bubble mania and those gigabytes of movies from ppstream). I guess the content is strictly limited to the original ipad and cant be transfered.

Is there any way to directly make a complete copy/ clone of the old ipad and transfer it to the new one?
