In-Depth Information
Podcasts and videos (but not photos) from your computer are synced only one-way:
from your computer to your iPad. If you delete a podcast or a video that got onto your iPad
via syncing, the podcast or video will not be deleted from your computer when you sync.
That said, if you buy or download any of the following items from the Apple iTunes, iBook, or App
Store on your iPad, the item
will
be copied back to your computer automatically when you sync:
Songs
Ringtones
Podcasts
Videos
iBooks, e-books, and audiobooks
Apps
Playlists that you create on your iPad
And if you save pictures from e-mail messages, the iPad camera, web pages (by pressing and hold-
ing on an image and then tapping the Save Image button), or screen shots (which can be created by
pressing the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously), these too can be synced with your
photo application (such as iPhoto, Aperture, or Photoshop Elements).
You use the Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, and Photos panes
to specify the media that you want to copy from your computer to your iPad. The following sections
explain the options you find in each pane.
To view any of these panes, make sure that your iPad is still selected and then click the appropriate
button near the top of the window.
The following sections focus only on syncing. If you need help acquiring apps, music, movies, pod-
casts, or anything else for your iPad, this book contains chapters dedicated to each of these topics.
Just flip to the most applicable chapter for help.
The last step in each section is “Click the Sync or Apply button in the lower-right
corner of the window.” You have to do this only when selecting that item for the first time
and if you make any changes to the item after that.
