How to Sync Your ipad and Your Computer

You can use your data connection cord to connect your iPad and computer to sync information. Before you can use iTunes to sync, you have to download the software and, if you want to make purchases from the store, open an iTunes account.

With iTunes installed on your computer and an iTunes account set up, follow these simple steps to sync to your iPad: Plug the data connection cord into your iPad. Plug the other end of the data connection cord into your

computer. iTunes opens and shows an item in the left pane for your iPad

and an icon indicating that it's syncing. Your iPad screen shows the words "Sync in Progress."

Backup Pictures

The best way is to transfer your pictures and videos is to a PC

Photos you take with your iPad (if it’s a model with a built-in camera) or photos saved to your iPad’s Camera Roll, such as e-mail attachments and images from the web, can quickly be saved to your computer via the supplied Dock Connector cable.

The process differs depending on whether you use a Mac or a PC but both are relatively simple tasks.
