Ken, can you describe the steps you took using iTunes to get your stuff on the new iPad 2?

In my experience, moving from an old to a new iOS device works quite well, with little information "lost" in the process.

You might take a look here, then help us understand what you've done already:

Note that, whatever you've done, it's possible to reset your new iPad and start over with a fresh "restore".

Enjoy,
