your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPad to your computer using the included USB cable. In iTunes on your
computer, select iPad, click Summary, then turn on “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.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, then set options in the dierent panes.
•
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 override this setting, 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 beta, you can’t use iTunes to sync photos and videos
to iPad.
Connect iPad to your computer

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

Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Weather, and Camera gather and
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from local Wi-Fi networks, if you have Wi-Fi turned on. The location data collected
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the status bar.
Turn Location Services on or o. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it o
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn o Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Turn Location Services o for system services. Several system services, such as location-based
ads, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or o, or show in the status

policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting. For more
information, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6338.
Security
Security features help protect the information on your iPad from being accessed by others.
Use a passcode with data protection
For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake
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.
Allow access to features when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPad
models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). Optional features include:
•

•
Notications View (see Notication Center on page 33)
•
Siri (if enabled, see Siri settings on page 47)
Allow access to Control Center when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > Control Center. See Control
Center on page 32.
Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPad
models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models), then tap Erase Data. After ten
failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and media are erased by
removing the encryption key to the data.
If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See Restore iPad on page 157.
Chapter 3 Basics 41
Touch ID
On iPad models with Touch ID, you can use a ngerprint instead of:
•
Entering your passcode to unlock iPad
•
Using your Apple ID password to make purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks

paying in an app that oers Apple Pay as a method of payment
Set up the Touch ID sensor. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. Set whether you want to
use a ngerprint to unlock iPad, and to make purchases. Tap Add a Fingerprint, then follow the
onscreen instructions. You can add more than one ngerprint (your thumb and forenger, for

Note: If you turn iPad o after setting up the Touch ID sensor, you’ll be asked to conrm your
passcode when you turn iPad back on and unlock it the rst time. You’ll also be asked for your
Apple ID password for the rst purchase you make in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.

ngerprint, touch the Home button to nd out which ngerprint it is.
Name a ngerprint. Tap the ngerprint, then enter a name, such as “Thumb.”
Use the Touch ID sensor to unlock iPad. Touch the Home button with a nger you’ve added in
Settings. You can unlock iPad from either the Lock screen or the Passcode screen.
Use the Touch ID sensor to make a payment in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.

purchases with your ngerprint. Or go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, then turn on iTunes &
App Store.
Use Touch ID to make a payment in an app that supports Apple Pay. Go to Settings >
Touch ID & Passcode to ensure that Apple Pay is enabled with your Touch ID. For more
information, see Apple Pay on page 39.
iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website user names and passwords, credit card information,
and Wi-Fi network information up to date. iCloud Keychain works on all your approved devices
(iOS 7 or later) and Mac computers (OS X Mavericks or later).
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can
use AutoFill to have iPad enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill in
forms on page 61.
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and
cannot be read by Apple.
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain, then
follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to

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 0 .
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.
iPad may also charge slowly when you connect it to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. If your
Mac or PC doesn’t provide enough power to charge iPad, a “Not Charging” message appears in
