How to sync your Apple iPad with iTunes

There are many benefits to syncing your iPad data with iTunes, not the least of which is ensuring that all of your Contacts, Calendars, Email settings, Bookmarks, Notes, Music, Photos and Videos, Podcasts, Books and Audio Books are backed up.

This way, if something goes wrong and you lose data on your iPad, a quick restore is all you need to recover your files.

To set-up syncing between your iPad and iTunes, follow these simple steps:

1. Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes
2. Select iPad Option in the iTunes sidebar
3. Now, select which things you’d like to have synced – so, music, email and contacts for example
4. Once you’ve done this, click Apply – it’s in the bottom right corner of iTunes
5. Wait for Syncing to complete

That's it!

We recommend that you sync your iPad with iTunes at least once a week. In the unfortunate event that data on your iPad is lost, this will ensure that you have a recent backup file to restore with.
