Sync with iTunes

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPad, and vice versa. You can sync by connecting iPad to your computer with the included USB cable, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPad, open iTunes on your computer, choose Help > iTunes Help, then select Sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

Sync wirelessly. Connect iPad to your computer using the included USB cable. In iTunes on your computer, select iPad, click Summary, then turn on “Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.”

If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer are on and connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on your computer.

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, then set options in the different panes.

If iPad doesn’t appear in iTunes, make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes, check that the included cable is correctly connected, then try restarting your computer.

In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to sync iPad automatically when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPad appear in the iTunes window.

If you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup, select “Encrypt iPad backup” in the Summary pane. Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPad.

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your computer to iPad. Changes you make to an account on iPad don’t sync to your computer.

In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPad with the information from your computer during the next sync.

In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.

In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on your computer.

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPad using iTunes.

If you turn on iCloud Photo Library beta, you can’t use iTunes to sync photos and videos to iPad.
