Turn VPN on or off: Go to Settings > VPN.

iTunes Wi-Fi Sync

You can sync iPad with iTunes on a computer that’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Enable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync: To set up Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, connect iPad to the computer that you want to sync with. For instructions see Syncing with iTunes on page 16.

After you configure Wi-Fi Sync, iPad automatically syncs with iTunes once a day, when:

iPad is connected to a power source,

iPad and your computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and iTunes on your computer is running.

Spotlight Search

The Spotlight Search setting lets you specify the content areas searched by Search, and rearrange the order of the results.

Set which content areas are searched by Search: Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search, then select the items to search. You can also change the order of the result categories.

Auto-Lock

Locking iPad turns off the display in order to save the battery and prevent unintended operation of iPad. You can still receive messages, and you can adjust the volume and use the mic button on your headset while listening to music.

Set the amount of time before iPad locks: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock, then choose a time.

Passcode Lock

By default, iPad doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.

Set a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then set a 4-digit passcode. To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode.

If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPad software. See Updating and restoring iPad software on page 130.

Allow access when iPad is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock. You can use Siri without unlocking iPad. See Setting options for Siri on page 38.

Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock, then tap Erase Data. After ten failed passcode attempts, all settings are reset, and all your information and media are erased by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption).
