copy a file to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer.
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.
Using iCloud
iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported
documents. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and
computers set up with the same iCloud account.
iCloud is available on iOS 5 devices, on Macs running OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs
with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7
required).
iCloud features include:
•
iTunes in the Cloud—Download
previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPad for
free,
anytime you like.
•
Apps and Books—Download
previous App Store and iBookstore purchases for free, anytime
you like.
•
Photo Stream—Photos
you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices.
•
Documents in the Cloud—For
iCloud-‐enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date
across all your devices.
•
Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep
your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to
date across all your devices.
•
Backup—Back
up iPad to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-‐Fi.
•
Find My iPad—Locate
your iPad on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the screen,
or remotely wipe the data.
•
Find My Friends—Keep
track of your family and friends (when connected to a Wi-‐Fi or
cellular network) using the Find My Friends app. Download the free app from the App Store.
•
iTunes Match—With
an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all of your
devices and can be downloaded and played on demand.
With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and
backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream,
don’t count against your free space.
