Restore all content to iPad from a backup
You can restore content, settings, and apps from a backup to a new or newly erased iPad.
Important: You must first create a backup of your iPad. See Back up iPad.
Restore iPad from an iCloud backup
Turn on a new or newly erased iPad.
Do one of the following:
Tap Set Up Manually, tap Restore from iCloud Backup, then follow the onscreen instructions.
If you have another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or later, you can use Quick Start to automatically set up your new device. Bring the two devices close together, then follow the onscreen instructions to securely copy many of your settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain. You can then restore the rest of your data and content to your new device from your iCloud backup.
Or, if both devices have iOS 12.4, iPadOS 13, or later, you can transfer all your data wirelessly from your previous device to your new one. Keep your devices near each other and plugged into power until the migration process is complete.
You’re asked for your Apple ID. If you’ve forgotten your Apple ID, see the Recover your Apple ID website.
Restore iPad from a computer backup
Using USB, connect a new or newly erased iPad to the computer containing your backup.
Do one of the following:
On a Mac (macOS 10.15 or later): In the Finder sidebar, select your iPad, click Trust, then click “Restore from this backup.”
On a Mac (macOS 10.14 or earlier) or a Windows PC: Open the iTunes app, click the button resembling an iPad near the top left of the iTunes window, click Summary, then click Restore Backup.
