Lightning to USB Cable. Use this to connect iPad (4th generation or later) or iPad mini to the
USB power adapter or to your computer. Earlier iPad models use a 30-pin to USB Cable.
Multi-Touch screen
A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to use iPad and its apps.
Sleep/Wake button
You can lock iPad and put it to sleep when you’re not using it. Locking iPad puts the display to
sleep, saves the battery, and prevents anything from happening if you touch the screen. You still

the volume.
Sleep/Wake
button
Sleep/Wake

Passcode (iPad models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). See Use a passcode
with data protection on page 42.
Turn iPad on. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Turn iPad o. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the slider appears

On iPad models with Touch ID, you can use the sensor in the Home button, instead of using your
passcode or Apple ID password, to unlock iPad or make purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store,
and iBooks Store. See Touch ID on page 43. You can also use the Touch ID sensor for authentication
when using Apple Pay to make a purchase from within an app. See Apple Pay on page 40.
Volume buttons and the Side Switch
Use the Volume buttons to adjust the volume of songs and other media, and of alerts and sound
eects. Use the Side Switch to silence audio alerts and notications or to prevent iPad from

Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and les between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers,
using either iCloud or iTunes.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all
gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to
date. See iCloud on page 16.
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
copy a le to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 19, next.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud Photo Stream to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your
devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.
Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
You can also choose to manually manage content from iTunes by selecting that option in the
iPad Summary pane. Then you can drag songs or videos from your iTunes library to iPad in
iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can t on your iPad.
Note: If you use iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
Connect iPad to your computer
Connecting iPad to your computer lets you sync content using iTunes. You can also sync with
iTunes wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes, above.
To use iPad with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the following
operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service
Pack 3 or later
iTunes, available at www.itunes.com/download/
Connect iPad to your computer. Use the included Lightning to USB Cable or 30-pin to
USB Cable.
Chapter 2 Get started 19
Unless iPad is actively syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. Look

group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family members
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
conrm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on
