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.

with the information from your computer during the next sync.
•

group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family member’s
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
conrm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on

the rest of the family. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each person keeps the items they chose
to purchase—even if they were paid for by the family organizer.
Turn on Ask to Buy. The family organizer can require young family members to request approval
for purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the person’s name.

up iPad.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPad models with Touch ID) or Settings >
Passcode (other models), then set a 4-digit passcode.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPad, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may also
use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPad using
the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.
Add ngerprints and set options for the Touch ID sensor. (iPad models with Touch ID) Go to
Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. See Touch ID, below.

Charge and monitor the battery
iPad has an internal, lithium-ion rechargeable battery. For more information about the battery—
including tips for maximizing battery life—see www.apple.com/batteries/.
WARNING: For important safety information about the battery and charging iPad, see
Important safety information on page 15 4 .
Charge the battery. The best way to charge the iPad battery is to connect iPad to a power outlet
using the included cable and USB power adapter.
