iTunes Store and App Store purchases you make on iPad are synced with the iTunes
library on your computer when you connect. You can also purchase or download
content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPad.
You can set iPad to sync only a portion of what’s on your computer. For example, you
might want to sync only certain music playlists, or only unwatched video podcasts.
Important: You should log in to your own user account on your computer before
connecting iPad.
Set up iTunes syncing:
1 Connect iPad to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).
2 In iTunes, select iPad in the sidebar.
3 Congure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.
See the following section for a description of each pane.
4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.
By default, “Open iTunes when this iPad is connected” is selected.
iPad Settings Panes in iTunes

automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you
want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about
