then pinch closed when
youʼre done to zoom
back out.
Experiment with
the tools
Just like real drawing
tools, the marker is
translucent so you can
layer your strokes to
vary the tone, and the
pencil is great for subtle
shading. To adjust the
angle of the ruler, touch
and hold it with two
fingers, then rotate your
fingers.
Collaborate
Whether itʼs a doodlefilled brainstorm page, a
work of art, or
something in between,

other iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models may include a preinstalled Apple SIM card.
If you change carriers or if no SIM card is installed, you may need to install or replace the
SIM card. (Apple SIM card kits are available for purchase at Apple Retail locations in
countries with participating carriers. Except in China, iPad Pro (9.7-inch) Wi-Fi + Cellular
has an embedded SIM, so thereʼs no need to purchase a SIM card.)
Eject the SIM card tray. Insert a paper clip or the SIM eject tool (sold separately) into
the small hole of the SIM card tray on the right side of iPad, then press firmly to eject and
remove the tray. Place the SIM card in the tray—the angled corner determines the
correct orientation—then insert the SIM card tray back into iPad.

Connect iPad to your computer. Use the included Lightning to USB Cable.
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 itʼs syncing, some data may not get synced until
the next time you connect iPad to your computer.
Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and
computers, using either iCloud or iTunes.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and
more. It all gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping
everything up to date. See iCloud.
iTunes syncs music, videos, 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 copy a file to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document
youʼve created on iPad to your computer. See Sync with iTunes.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can
use iCloud to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your
devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes in the iPad Summary pane. To add
songs and videos, choose a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library then drag it
to iPad in the iTunes sidebar. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than
can fit on iPad. See the Apple Support article Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with
iTunes using USB.

same wireless network, and iTunes is open on your computer, iPad syncs when itʼs
connected to a power source.
To learn more, see the Apple Support article Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with
iTunes using Wi-Fi.
iTunes provides these syncing options:
In the Music pane, you can sync your entire music library or just selected playlists,
artists, albums, and genres.
In the Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Books panes, you can choose to sync all the
media they contain, or just the media you choose.

lock iPad, press the Sleep/Wake button. iPad also locks automatically if you donʼt touch
the screen for a minute or so.)
iCloud backups are encrypted automatically so that your data is protected from
unauthorized access both while itʼs transmitted to your devices and when itʼs stored in
iCloud. Purchased content, iCloud Photo Sharing, and My Photo Stream content donʼt
count against your 5 GB of free iCloud storage.
Music that wasnʼt purchased in iTunes isnʼt backed up in iCloud, but it can be restored by
syncing with iTunes on your computer. See Sync with iTunes.
When you back up iPad using iCloud, you canʼt simultaneously use iTunes to
automatically back up iPad to your computer. However, you can use iTunes to manually
back up iPad to your computer. See Back up iPad with iTunes.

iPad in the enterprise
To use iPad with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization
requires. If you received your iPad from your organization, the settings and apps you
need might already be installed. If youʼre using your own iPad, your system administrator
may provide you with settings to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device
management server that installs the required settings and apps for you.
You may be asked to install a configuration profile, which configures iPad for you, and
may define some settings that you canʼt change. For example, your organization might
turn on Auto-Lock and require you to set a passcode to protect the information in the
accounts you access. You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles & Device
Management. When you delete a profile, the settings and accounts, and everything else
associated with the profile, are also removed.
If your organization wants you to have certain apps, it might provide you with redemption
codes to use in the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you
own the app, even though your organization purchased it for you. Your organization can
also purchase App Store app licenses that the organization retains but assigns to you for
a period of time. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to
someone else.
Your organization might also develop custom apps that arenʼt in the App Store. You
install them from a webpage, or you may receive a notification from your organization
asking you to install them wirelessly. These apps belong to your organization, and they
may be removed or stop working if you delete a configuration profile.

Siri
You can use Siri to control music playback. To activate Siri, press and hold the Home
button. See Siri and apps.
Use Siri. Siri supports a wide variety of commands, which you can use to do the
following:
Play an album, artist, song, playlist, or radio station: Say “play” followed by the name
of the artist, album, song, playlist, or station that you want to play. If Siri doesnʼt find
what you asked for, be more specific. For example, say “play the radio station ‘Pure
Popʼ” rather than saying “play ‘Pure Pop.ʼ”
Play music in random order: Say “play (artist or album) shuffled.”
Play similar music: While music is playing, say “play more songs like this one”
or “create a radio station based on this song.”
Browse Apple Music: You can play any Apple Music track by title (“play ‘Smooth
Sailinʼ by Leon Bridges”), by artist (“play M. Ward”), and by chart (“play the top song
from March 1991”).
Choose music by mood: Say something like “play something happy” or “play some
upbeat music.”
Make personalized requests: Say something like “be my DJ,” “play something that I
would like,” “play recommended music,” “play a Mutemath album that Iʼd love,” or
“play my daily playlist.”
Ask for more information: Ask something like “when was this album released,” “what
is Santigoldʼs most popular album” or “who sings ‘Used Toʼ.”
Add music from Apple Music to your collection (Apple Music membership required):
Say, for example, “add ‘This is Actingʼ by Sia to my Library” or, while playing
something, say “add this to my collection.”
Correct Siri: If Siri doesnʼt play what you expect to hear, say something like “no, the
album” or “no, the version by David Bowie.”
Siri can also help you find music in the iTunes Store. See Find music, movies, TV shows,
and more.

who appear less frequently, mark people as favorites, and view memories that contain
specific people. The more photos you have, the longer the first scan takes.
Note: People identified in the People album arenʼt synced across devices. The People
feature is available on iPad Air and later.

My Photo Stream
My Photo Stream automatically uploads your most recent photos to iCloud, so you can
import them to devices that arenʼt using iCloud Photo Library. (My Photo Stream doesnʼt
upload Live Photos or videos.)
Photos in My Photo Stream donʼt count against your iCloud storage, and theyʼre kept for
30 days in iCloud (up to 1000 photos). Download photos to your computer or iOS device
if you want to keep them permanently. For more information, see the Apple Support
article My Photo Stream FAQ.
Turn My Photo Stream on or off. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, or go
to Settings > Photos & Camera.
Use My Photo Stream without iCloud Photo Library. Photos you take with iPad are
added to the My Photo Stream album when you leave the Camera app and iPad is
connected to Wi-Fi. Any photos you add—including screenshots and photos saved from
email, for example—also appear in your My Photo Stream album. Photos added to My
Photo Stream on your other devices appear in your My Photo Stream album on iPad.

Support article My Photo Stream FAQ.
iCloud Photo Sharing
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can invite others who are using iCloud Photo Sharing to
view your photos and videos. If theyʼre using iCloud Photo Sharing on a device with iOS 6
or later or on a Mac with OS X 10.8 or later, they can view your albums and leave
comments. If theyʼre using iOS 7 or later or OS X 10.9 or later, they can add their own
photos and videos. You can also publish your album to a website for anyone to view.
