Q: I got an IPad Pro 12.9 & I'm going to set it up
I got an IPad Pro 12.9 & I'm going to set it up. I at present have an IPad 3 & will be giving it to my son. What way is best to set it up my new IPad Pro? I already have a Apple ID, so I don't need to do that. What I'm wondering is about the Family sharing thing, or should I just get everything out of my old IPad 3 & let him start from nothing? If I do the Family sharing does it allow anyone I put in Family sharing to see my stuff? If I do Family sharing does it Allow the old IPad 3 to be able to use all the Apps I've gotten? And if so, will he have his own games, meaning will he end up playing at levels & things I've aquired? Also with the Family sharing will he have to make up his own Apple ID & iCloud ID for the IPad 3 that I'm giving him. So Confused! ?..Oh, also I have a lot of pics & a few videos that are on the IPad 3, but Not in the cloud storage, what's the Best, Easiest way to get them from the IPad 3 to maybe the IPad Pro, or to laptop??...Thanks...

I'd suggest you start by reading these article:
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
You might find it easier to know what questions to ask with some background knowledge. I strongly recommend that, even if you don't opt for family sharing, you each have your own Apple ID. Sharing Apple IDs leads to all sorts of confusion.
You might also want to look at this to prepare your old iPad:

Best of luck.
