If you connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases that should make sure that all of your iTunes downloads are on your computer. Then backup that iPad (File > Devices > Back Up) - a backup doesn't contain any of your iTunes downloads, just the apps content and settings, contacts etc, which is why the Transfer Purchases is needed.


Then connect the new iPad and restore that backup onto it.

The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to type in your email account passwords, router password etc on your new iPad.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.
