[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 435912, member: 6969"] So in the interests of my daughter keeping up with her peers (and NO other reason) we have a shiny new ipad arrived today as her Christmas present. that will no doubt please a lot of the i thingy worshipers on here. So setting it up for the first time, part way through setup it gives me some choices, like "set up as new ipad" or "copy from Android" Oh that's interesting, she has an android so it might be good to copy some stuff from that. So I follow the instructions, download the apple transfer app onto the android and try it. It starts transfering data, gets to 2% and then aborts "try again later" If you try again immediately, the android can't find the phone. Re boot the android and try again, it gets to 2% and aborts. I don't think this is going to work somehow. So do I give up this idea and just set it up as a new iphone? how easy is it later to transfer any data between the two? Or is this a know issue and is there a fix to make it work and transfer data? I am not proceeding in the setup until I know what to do. [/QUOTE]
