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.”
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both
iPad and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on
the computer.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.
•
In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPad 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.
•
In the Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPad backup” if you want to encrypt the information
stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a
lock icon , and a password is required in order 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 a mail account on iPad don’t aect the account on
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.

Your iPad name
The name of your iPad is used by iTunes and iCloud.
Change the name of your iPad. Go to Settings > General > About > Name.
Date and time
The date and time are usually set for you based on your location—take a look at the Lock screen
to see if they’re correct.
Set whether iPad updates the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General > Date &
Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPad to update the time automatically, it
gets the correct time over the network and updates it for the time zone you’re in. Some networks

the local time.
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set
Automatically.
Set whether iPad shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time,
