connection to view them. Check with your administrator for account settings and 
other requirements (such as VPN).
When you set up a CardDAV account, your account contacts are synced with iPad over 
the air. You may also be able to search for contacts on your company or organization’s 
CardDAV server.

Backups don’t include synced items, such as songs and videos from your iTunes 
library, or information such as contacts and calendars from your computer. To restore 
synced items, you must sync iPad after restoring backup information. If iPad is set to 
sync automatically, synced items are restored immediately after a software restore or 
update. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 24.

 If you update, the iPad software is updated. Your downloaded apps, settings, and 
FCVCCTGP¨VCÒGEVGF
Note:  In some cases, an update may also include restoring iPad.
 If you restore, the latest version of iPad software is reinstalled, settings are restored 
to their default, and all data stored on iPad is deleted, including downloaded apps, 
songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. If you’ve 
backed up iPad with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data from the 
backup at the end of the restore process.
Deleted data is no longer accessible through the iPad user interface, but it isn’t erased 
from iPad. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting 
iPad” on page 162.
If you use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard with iPad and you restore settings, you 
must pair the Bluetooth device with iPad again to use it.
For more information about updating and restoring iPad software, go to  
support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
Updating iPad
Make sure your computer has an Internet connection and that you’ve installed the 
latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.

iPad, or restore your music, video, app data, and other content from a backup.
After restoring from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible through the iPad 
user interface, but it isn’t erased from iPad. For information about erasing all content 
and settings, see “Resetting iPad” on page 162.
Restoring from a Backup

use this feature to copy these items to another iPad. Make sure your computer has  
an Internet connection and that you’ve installed the latest version of iTunes from 
www.apple.com/itunes.
Important:  Restoring from a backup is not the same as restoring iPad from the 
Summary pane in iTunes. Restoring from a backup doesn’t fully restore iPad software. 
Also, restoring iPad from a backup restores all data in the backup, including data for 
apps. If you choose an old backup, restoring it could replace the app data with data 
that isn’t current. For more information, see “Resetting iPad” on page 162. 
Restore iPad from a backup:  
  1  Connect iPad to the computer you normally sync with.
  2  In iTunes, Control-click iPad in the sidebar, then choose “Restore from Backup” from the

convert it to a format iPad supports. For example, you can use iTunes for Windows

open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
No Video or Sound when Using AirPlay
To send video or audio to an AirPlay device such as an Apple TV, iPad and the AirPlay 
device must be connected to the same wireless network. If you don't see the   
button, iPad isn’t connected to the same Wi-Fi network as an AirPlay device, or the app 
you’re using doesn’t support AirPlay.
When sound or video is being sent to an AirPlay device, iPad doesn’t display video  
or play audio. To direct the content to iPad and disconnect iPad from the AirPlay 
device, tap   and select iPad in the list.
Some applications play only audio over AirPlay. If video isn't working, make sure that  
the app you're using supports both audio and video.
If the Apple TV has been set up to require a passcode, you must enter it on iPad  
when asked, in order to use AirPlay.
Make sure the speakers on the AirPlay device are turned on and turned up. If you’re  
using an Apple TV, make sure the TV’s input source is set to Apple TV. Make sure the 
volume control on iPad is turned up.
When iPad is streaming with AirPlay, it must remain connected to the Wi-Fi network.  
If you take iPad out of range, playback stops.
Depending on the speed of your network, it may take 30 seconds or more for  
playback to begin when using AirPlay.
For more information about AirPlay, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT4437.
