Unless iPad is actively syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. Look
at the top of the iTunes screen on your computer or on iPad to see if syncing is in progress. If
you disconnect iPad while it’s syncing, some data may not get synced until the next time you
connect iPad to your computer.
Sync with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPad, and vice versa. You can sync
by connecting iPad to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You
can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPad, open iTunes
on your computer, choose Help > iTunes Help, then select Sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes
is available at www.itunes.com/download/.
Set up wireless syncing. Connect iPad to your computer. In iTunes on your computer, select your
iPad, click Summary, then select Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.
If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPad and
your computer are on and connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on
your computer.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
ConnectiPadtoyourcomputer,selectitiniTunes,thensetoptionsinthedierentpanes.
•If iPad doesn’t appear in iTunes, make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes, check that
the included cable is correctly connected, then try restarting your computer.
•In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to sync iPad automatically when it’s attached to your
computer. To temporarily prevent syncing when you attach the device, hold down Command
and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPad appear in the iTunes window.
•If you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup,
select “Encrypt iPad backup” in the Summary pane. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock
icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other
passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and you’ll have to
reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPad.
•In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your
computer to iPad. Changes you make to an account on iPad don’t sync to your computer.
•In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPad
with the information from your computer during the next sync.
•In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.
•In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on
your computer.
•If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to
iPad using iTunes.
•If you turn on iCloud Photo Library, you can’t use iTunes to sync photos and videos to iPad.
