Connecting iPad to your computer

iPad to your computer allows you to sync information, music, and other content with iTunes. Youcan also sync with iTunes wirelessly. See “Syncing with iTunes.”

Setting up mail and other accounts

Setting up mail and other accounts
iPad works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail,contacts, and calendar service providers.
If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a free iCloud account when you set up iPad, or set one up later in Settings > iCloud. See “Using iCloud” on page 19.
Set up an iCloud account: Go to Settings > iCloud.
Set up another account: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or organization
supports it. See “Syncing contacts” on page 73.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate environment, see“Setting up Microsoft Exchange accounts” on page 130

Managing content on iPad
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers, using either iCloud or iTunes.
 - iCloud stores content such as music, photos, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. See “Using iCloud,” below.
- iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to copy a file to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 20.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud Photo Stream to automatically push photos you take on iPad to your other devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPad.
Note: Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you may see duplicated data on iPad.
