You can think of your iPad as an independent
computer, but it’s really an extension of a desk-
top or laptop computer. Since you probably
already have important data stored on another
computer, you need to learn how to transfer
files to your iPad so you can use those files
wherever you go.
To transfer files from your computer to
youriPad, you’ll need to use the iTunes pro-
gram. Every Mac comes with iTunes, but if
you have a Windows computer, you’ll need to
download and install iTunes directly from the
Apple website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/).
