Using your iPad's cable, a ttach the USB connector to a free USB port on your Mac or Windows PC, and attach the dock connector to the 30-pin connector port on the back of the dock. Now in sert your Apple iPad into the dock's cradle. Synchronizing Your iPad Automatically Depending on the storage capacity of your iPad - 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB - y ou may be able to transfer all your computer's iPad - friendly digital content o nto the iPad hard drive. If that sounds like the way you want to go, then you ca n take advantage of the easiest of the iPad synchronizing scenarios, in which yo u don't have to pay any attention in the least: automatic synchronization. Becau se you know all the iPad - able content on your Mac or Windows PC is going to fi t, all you have to do is turn on your iPad 2 and connect it to your computer. iTunes opens automatically, connects to your Apple iPad 2, and begins sy nchronizing. And just for your information, the USB port also begins charging yo ur iPad's battery. Note that you can't use your iPad while the synchronization is running. However, one of the iPad's nicest features is that you can interrupt synchroniza tion. When the Sync in Progress screen appears, you see the Slide to Cancel slid er at the bottom of the screen. If you ever need to bail out of the synchronizat ion to perform some other duty, drag the slider to the right. iTunes cancels the synchronization so you can go about your business. When you're ready to restart the synchronization, click the Sync button in iTunes. When the synchronization is done, you need to do two things: In iTunes, click the Eject icon beside your iPad in the Devices list. Remove the dock connector from the iPad's 30-pin connector port. Bypassing the automatic synchronization Sometimes, you may want to connect your iPad to your computer, but you d on't want it to synchronization automatically. For example, you may want to conn ect your iPad to your computer just to charge it. Or perhaps you just want to us e iTunes to check how much free space is left on your iPad 2 or to check for upd ates to the iPad software. Whatever the reason, you can tell iTunes to hold off the synchronizing t his time only by using one of the following techniques:

Mac. Connect the iPad to the Mac, and then quickly press and hold the Option and Mac keys Windows. Connect the iPad to the Windows PC, and then quickly press and hold the Control and Shift keys. When you see that iTunes has added your iPad to the Devices list, you ca n release the keys. Note, however, that you don't need to use iTunes to see how much free space is left on your iPad. On the Home screen, tap Settings, tap Gene ral, and then tap About. In the About screen that slides in, the Available value tells you how many gigabytes (or megabytes) of free space you have to play with . Troubleshooting automatic synchronization So, you connect your iPad to your computer and then nothing. If iTunes i sn't already running, it refuses to wake up from its. What's up with that? A couple things could be the problem. First, connect your iPad 2, switch to iTunes on your computer, and then click your iPad 2 in the Devices list. On the Summary tab, make sure the Open iTunes when this iPad is connected check box is selected. If that check box was already selected, you need to delve a bit deeper t o solve the mystery. Follow these steps: Open the iTunes preferences: Mac. Choose iTunes > Preferences Windows. Choose Edit > Preferences Click the Devices tab. Deselect the Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing Automatically check box. Click OK to put the new setting into effect and enable automatic syncing again. Syncing Your iPad Manually When you first connected your iPad to iTunes, the brief setup routine included a screen that asked if you wanted to automatic ally synchronize certain content, such as music and photos. If you activated a c heck box for a particular type of content, iTunes configure the iPad to synchron ize all of that content. One fine day, you'll be minding your own business and performing what yo u believe to be a routine synchronization operation when a dialog box pops up te lling you iPad 2 is out of hard disk space. You can handle this in a couple of w ays: Remove some of the content from your computer. This is a good way to go if your iPad 2 is really close to having enough space. For example, the dialog says your computer wants to send 100MB of data, but your Apple iPad 2 has only 98MB of fr ee space. Get rid of a few megabytes of stuff on your computer, and you're back in the synchronization business. Synchronize your iPad manually. This means that you no longer synchronize everyt hing on your computer. Instead, you hand-pick which play-lists, podcasts, audio books, and so on are sent to your iPad. It's a bit more work, but it's the way t o go if there's a big difference between the amount of content on your computer and the amount of space left on your iPad.

Synchronizing manually means that you handle the synchronization yoursel f for the various content types: contacts, calendars, e-mail, bookmarks, music, podcasts, audio books, e-Books, photos, videos, and apps. You do this using the other tabs in the iPad window: Info, Music, Photos, and so on. Removing data from your iPad 2 and replacing it with fresh info After you know what you're doing, synchronizing contacts, calendars, e-m ail accounts, and bookmarks to your iPad 2 is a relatively bulletproof procedure that should happen without a hitch each time. Of course, this is technology you 're dealing with here, so hitches do happen every now and then, and as a result you might end up with corrupt or repeated information on your iPad. Or perhaps you've been synchronizing your iPad with a couple of differen t computers, and you decide to cut one of the computers out of the loop and reve rt to just a single machine for all your synchronization. In both these scenarios, you need to replace the existing information on your Apple iPad 2 with a freshly baked batch of data. Fortunately, iTunes has a feature that lets you do exactly that. Here's how it works: Connect your iPad to your computer. In the iTunes Devices list, click the iPad. Click the Info tab. Select the Sync check boxes for each type of information you want to work with ( contacts, calendars, e-mail accounts, bookmarks, or notes). In the Advanced section, select the check box beside each type of information yo u want to replace. Click Apply. iTunes replaces the selected information on your iPad.
