Hi. I want to transfer my old iPad to another iPad,
(not a new iPad) which is already set up but want to keep a security camera app which is on the newer iPad. Can I transfer everything from my old iPad to the newer one without deleting the security camera app and settings.
thank you
sharon
iPad, iOS 9
Available transfer methods are all-or-nothing. If you need to selectively move files, you must individually move/copy files using AirDrop, iCloud or iTunes (using a PC or Mac computer).
These support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new iPad:
Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If the donor iPad, from which you are transferring your data precedes iOS12.4, QuickStart will not be available.
“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.
An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
When you are ready, the best procedure for preparing you old device for disposal or reuse can be found here:
What to do before you sell, give away or trade in your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
As for your security camera App, if its data is synchronised with iCloud or other cloud-storage solution, any data should be accessible on another device simply by installing the required App. However, if data is stored locally, you may need to manually copy the data elsewhere prior to transferring data from old to new iPad.
