Moving obsolete apps between units (same ID)

Hello Users!

I am upgrading to a iPad air 2; but launched it from scratch.

Some "good to have" apps fm old iPad are obsolete in Appstore.

How can I move old apps from old ipad to new? (Same apple-id)


Thanks in advance🙂

iPad Air, iOS 8.3

If they are no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload them on your new iPad. To get them on your new iPad connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy any store downloads that aren't already in that iTunes library, and you can then sync them to your new iPad. If you want the same content on your new iPad then you could back up the old iPad to that computer's iTunes (File > Devices > Back Up) and restore that backup onto the new iPad.
