IPad – Transfering all photos from old iPad

icloudipaditunesphotos

I have an iPad 3rd gen (running iOS 9.3.6) and the new iPad 7th gen. I am trying to get all the pictures from the old iPad to the new. When I turn on iCloud for photos I get the following error: “

Photos and Videos Synced from iTunes will be Removed

The problem is that I no longer have the PC which I used to sync. The only copy of all these photos is on the iPad and I am having a difficult time transferring them off the iPad.

To summarize, I want to get all the pictures from an old iPad. On the old iPad I have photos from the following sources:

  • Import from iTunes.
  • Import from a digital camera using the converter.
  • Pictures taken with the iPad.

I do not have easy access to a Mac or PC.

If you can get access to a Mac or a PC, you should try the iMazing application.

It allows you to selectively copy data from your iPad. You should be able to get all photos from the Photos app. I believe iMazing can also copy individual apps and their data from one device to another.

The iMazing application can also create backups and lets you browse those backups. Make a backup. Save it to a USB pen drive. Whatever method you use to transfer photos from your old iPad to the new iPad, that USB stick will be your safety net. Keep it around until you are sure the new iPad has all the photos.
