A 'locked down' high-risk senior seeks to expand horizons.

Further to the OP, now considering adding a new iPad 2 either as a replacement or dual use (memsaab).
Ideally all data, apps, and interfaces need to be lifted across to the new device.
On-line advice is generally data specific or requires wifi based transfer which appears to be a very slow process.

Is it possible to setup a new iPad from the old one using a cable link; if so which app is required - iTunes ?
No access to a staging PC or Mac; have a 16gb iXpand plugin, but current iPad memory use is > 36gb.

If iCloud is the only option, is the info here still valid (2012) ?
