We have 3 ipads and I want to combine everything onto just 1 (and get rid of the other 2). Is this possible??

Each ipad has different apps/music/etc on it. There is some overlap but most of it is unique to each ipad. Is it possible to combine everthing onto 1? The 2 I want to get rid of are original ipads. The 3rd (which I plan on keeping) is an ipad air.

I have never attempted this before, but I will share my thoughts. It believe it will depend on multiple factors. One, are they all one the same iTunes account? Two, it will depend on how much storage space you are using between the 3 iPads and how much storage is on the 3rd iPad. The only way I can think of to combine three iPads is follows. First, make sure all your purchases are transferred to your library from the two older iPads. Then, manually add the items you want to your ipad air. There isn't a way to merge backups though, so this may not be what you are looking for.
