The Kitchen Sync: Getting Stuff to and from Your iPad mini - iPad Mini - page 75

You can add a media file to your iPad without syncing in two other ways. Both methods require your
iPad to be connected to your computer via Wi-Fi or USB, so they work only if you see the iPad (or #
of Devices ) button below the Search field:
Click the little angle bracket in a circle (shown in the margin) next to any song, al-
bum, movie, TV show, book, or other media. Choose Add To from the pop-up menu. A list of
possible destinations will appear; click your iPad in the list and the file will be added to your
iPad.
Click any eligible item (or items) in your iTunes Library and start dragging the item or items
to the right. A pane with a list of connected devices appears on the right; drag the item to your
iPad in the list, as shown in Figure 3-13 .
Figure 3-13: Drag a song or other media content to the right in the iTunes window and this pane appears like magic.
And that's pretty much all you need to know to sync files automatically or manually, so you can
view or listen to whatever you like on your iPad. And if you haven't figured out how to watch
movies or listen to audio on your iPad yet, it's only because you haven't read Part III on multimedia,
where watching and listening to your iPad are made crystal-clear.
