Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers,
using either iCloud or iTunes.
•
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all
gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to
date. See
on page 15.
•
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
copy a file to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer. See
on page 18, next.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud Photo Stream to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your
devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.
Important:
To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
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 fit on your iPad.
Note: If you use iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
