transferring to new ipad from one with no access

If your iPad is non-functional - and you don’t have an existing iCloud or iTunes backup - then your locally stored data is now lost. All locally stored data is encrypted, the only copy of the encryption key, required to access this data, is stored in the iPad hardware security chip (the “secure enclave”) - which can only be unlocked by entering the iPad Passcode when prompted by the iPad.

For information, these support pages should get you started with setup of your new iPad - and the available methods of transferring 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:

Hi jeffreysmith33.

You can see if your iPad have been backed up by visiting iCloud.com. By logging in onto your iCloud account you can view your past iCloud activity and see if your iPad Pro have been backed up or not.

If your iPad have been backed up, you can restore its data when you have received your new iPad.

I am glad to hear that!

It would be stored on iCloud, under backups.

You can retrieve the backup as soon as you setup your new iPad.

Your iCloud backup cannot be directly accessed - but can be restored to another device using the procedures that I have already documented in my previous reply.
