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:

ÂÂ iTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPad for free, anytime you like.

ÂÂ Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBookstore purchases for free, anytime you like.

ÂÂ Photo Stream—Photos you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices. See “Photo Stream” on page 54.

ÂÂ Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date across all your devices.

ÂÂ Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date across all your devices.

ÂÂ Backup—Back up iPad to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. See “Backing up with iCloud” on page 137.

ÂÂ Find 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.

ÂÂ Find 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.

ÂÂ iTunes 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.

Syncing with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from a computer to iPad, and vice versa. You can sync by connecting iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, video, podcasts, apps, and more. For detailed information about syncing iPad with a computer, open iTunes then select iTunes Help from the Help menu.

Set up wireless iTunes syncing: Connect iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable. In iTunes, turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.

When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad automatically syncs every day. iPad must be connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer must be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on the computer. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.”

Tips for syncing with iTunes

ÂÂ If you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them to iPad using iTunes.

ÂÂ Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPad are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPad.

ÂÂ In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPad when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPad appear in the sidebar.

ÂÂ In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and you need a password to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore iPad.

ÂÂ In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your computer to iPad. Changes you make to a mail account on iPad don’t affect the account on your computer.

ÂÂ In the device’s 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.

ÂÂ If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your stopping point is included if you sync the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPad, you can pick up where you left off in iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.

ÂÂ In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

Chapter 2    Getting Started

Using and cleaning iPad

It’s important to find a comfortable posture when using iPad, and to take frequent breaks. Use your lap, or a table, case, or dock accessory, to support iPad during use.

Handle iPad with care, to maintain its appearance. If you’re concerned about scratching or abrasion of the screen, you can use a case or a cover, sold separately.

To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. The iPad screen has an oleophobic coating; simply wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

For more information about handling iPad, see the iPad Important Product Information Guide at support.apple.com/manuals/ipad.
