You can adjust sync settings whenever you connect iPad to your computer.

Sync your music, audiobooks, podcasts, iTunes U collections, videos, books, and
applications from your iTunes library. If you don’t already have content in iTunes,
go to the iTunes Store (available in some countries) to preview and download content
to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about
iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on
your computer. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your computer
and iPad. New entries or changes you make on iPad are synced to your computer, and
vice versa. Notes and webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos and
videos can be synced from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are synced only from your computer’s email application to
iPad. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPad without affecting email
account settings on your computer.

Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPad. See “Mail, Contacts, and
Calendar Accounts
.”

iTunes Store or 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 applications 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:

Log in to your computer user account 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.
