Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and

more. It all gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping
everything up to date. See .
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPad.

You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can
use iCloud 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.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes in the iPad Summary pane. To add
songs and videos, choose a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library then drag it
to iPad in the iTunes sidebar. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than
can fit on iPad. See the Apple Support article
