[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1670233, member: 61193"] So iTunes has still not learned that iPads can be setup now independently of iTunes. I am still trying to restore a backup onto my new iPad. Unfortunately, this involves a huge amount of data, which will use up more than my Broadband Download Limit, assuming I use a Restore from iCloud. So I tried to make a Backup of the old iPad to my computer using iTunes. However, when I connect the old iPad to iTunes it asks if I want to set it up as a new device or by restoring a Backup (not from the correct device). There seems to be no way to get past that and tell iTunes to leave it as it is and just make a Backup of it. Any option I choose is going to wipe the old iPad - which of course defeats the whole object. Is there a way past this please? [/QUOTE]
