iTunes wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes on page 17. To use iPad with your computer, you need:
•A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the following
operating systems:

Unless iPad is actively syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. Look
at the top of the iTunes screen on your computer or on iPad to see if syncing is in progress. If
you disconnect iPad while it’s syncing, some data may not get synced until the next time you
