Managing content on iPad
using either iCloud or iTunes.
 ÂiCloud stores content such as music, photos, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your other 
iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. See “Using iCloud,” below.
 ÂiTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes 
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to 
computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 20.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud 
Photo Stream to automatically push photos you take on iPad to your other devices, and use 
iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPad.
Note:  Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes) and 
also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you may see 
duplicated data on iPad.
Using iCloud
iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported documents. 
Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers set up with 
the same iCloud account. 
iCloud is available on iOS 5 devices, on Macs running OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs with 
the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required). 
iCloud features include:
 ÂiTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPad for free, 
anytime you like.
 ÂApps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBookstore purchases for free, anytime  
you like. 
 ÂPhoto Stream—Photos you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices. See 
“Photo Stream” on page 54.
 ÂDocuments in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date 
across all your devices.
 ÂMail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date 
across all your devices.
 ÂBackup—Back up iPad to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. See 
“Backing up with iCloud” on page 137.
 ÂFind My iPad—Locate your iPad on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the screen, or 
remotely wipe the data. See “Find My iPad” on page 38.
 ÂFind My Friends—Keep track of your family and friends (when connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular 
network) using the Find My Friends app. Download the free app from the App Store.
 ÂiTunes Match—With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve 
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all of your devices 
and can be downloaded and played on demand. See “iTunes Match” on page 87.
With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and 
backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t 
count against your free space.
