Q: How do I transfer all files from an earlier iPad to a new iPad pro ?

I am considering purchase of an iPad pro and want to transfer all files from my earlier generation ( large connector ) iPad to the new one .

Can this be done directly , and is there a cable to connect the LIGHTNING socket to the earlier style socket ?

Or is it done via WiFi ?

Get rid of Sophos AV.
It is not needed with OS X as it can degrade normal OS X performance and antivirus software can interfere with iOS updates using iTunes, as well.
Also, if you live in the U.S., your iMac model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
OS X El Capitán really needs a minimum of 8 GBs of RAM. 6 GBs of RAM will get you closer to that amount.
The only online source of the 6 GB ram kit is OWC (macsales.com).
You just need to purchase a 4 GB RAM module to replace one of 2 GB RAM modules already on your iMac.

Memory in iMacs is, relatively, easy to install.

Good Luck!

Again , many thanks . I will be upgrading memory to allow El Capitan to run better on the iMac . After that , it will be time to upgrade to a newer iMac . I will also uninstall the anti-virus .
