Important: 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.
You can also choose to manually manage content from iTunes by selecting that option in the
iPad Summary pane. Then you can drag songs or videos from your iTunes library to iPad in
iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can t on your iPad.
Note: If you use iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
