If you're happy with automatic syncing and just want to get some audio or
video from your computer to your iPad, feel free to skip this step.
To add items from iTunes to your iPad without using the syncing controls or performing an actual
sync, follow these steps:
1.
Click the On This iPad tab.
2.
Click the Add To button (near the top-right corner of the iTunes window).
A new pane appears on the right side of the iTunes window.
3.
Drag your chosen media from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right,
as shown in Figure
3-12
.
Figure 3-12:
Drag and drop to copy media to your iPad.
In Figure
3-12
, we dragged The Beatles from the Artists tab, but don't forget that you
can drag media from all those other tabs — Songs, Albums, Genres, and so on. And you can
add other types of content, such as movies, TV shows, podcasts, and books. Just choose a
category from the Library pop-up menu (which displays Music in Figure
3-12
).
