iTunes Store and 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 apps 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: You should log in to your own user account on your computer before connecting iPad.

3Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.

See the following section for a description of each pane.

4Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.
