Making the first backup of the iPad Air. I had to come up with a name for the device, since its colour is Starlight, I chose to call it Starbright. I’m using iMazing for the backup, because I can do that to an external drive. I was a bit under halfway through downloading all the music I wanted from Apple Music, it was a slow and tedious method: select each album, tap the download button, move on to the next one and repeat the process. Then I remembered iMazing, I told that app to add everything in the Music folder that I hadn’t already loaded with the slow method. I used a Thunderbolt cable, the iPad Air has a USB-C port rated at up to 10 Gbps if used with a suitable cable. the supplied USB-C charge cable supplied with my M1 MacBook Air & with the iPad Air only transfer data at USB 2.0 speeds, up to 480 Mbps.
