VPN settings
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private networks, such
as the network at your organization. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that
congures iPad to access a network. Contact your system administrator for information about the
app and settings you need.
Proles settings
Conguration proles dene settings for using iPad with corporate or school networks or
accounts. You might be asked to install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email,
or one that is downloaded from a webpage. iPad asks for your permission to install the prole,
and displays information about what it contains, when you open the le. You can see the proles
you have installed in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings, apps,
and data associated with the prole are also deleted.
Back up iPad
You can use iCloud or iTunes to automatically back up iPad. If you choose to back up using
iCloud, you can’t also use iTunes to automatically back up to your computer, but you can use
iTunes to manually back up to your computer. iCloud backs up iPad daily over Wi-Fi, when it’s
connected to a power source and is locked. The date and time of the last backup is listed at the
bottom of the Backup screen.
iCloud backs up your:
•
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
•
Photos and videos taken with iPad (if you use iCloud Photo Library beta, your photos and
videos are already stored in iCloud, so they won’t also be part of an iCloud backup)
•
iPad settings
•
App data
•
Home screen, folders, and app layout
•
Messages
•
Ringtones
Note: Purchased content is not backed up in all areas.
