Make it possible to view data when you change your iDevice

“I want to change my iPad Mini to iPad Air. There is the backup of my iPad Mini in iTunes. As the space limitation, I do not want to sync all the data in my iPad mini to my new iPad Air. iTunes does not allow me to preview and choose the data I need. So is it possible to view the data in iTunes for me to choose? Or any other alternative way to backup my iPad Mini’s data?”



Changing iDevice is a common phenomenon in modern life. When you replace your device, then what about the data in your iPhone , iPad, or iPod? As the only bridge between iDevices, iTunes could help you transfer the data from one device to another device.
