Synchronizing Mail, Notes, and Bookmarks
Synchronizing email affects only your account settings, not the actual messages.
Synchronized settings let you access your email from either your computer or your
iPad without having to retype all those cryptic mail account settings.
After you’ve synchronized email account settings on your computer and
iPad, you’ll be able to read and access the same messages on either device. This
lets you read a message on your iPad while you’re on the road and then read and
respond to that message when you return to your computer.
On the iPad, you can synchronize email account settings from the Mail app
and the Mail program (Mac) or Microsoft Outlook or Windows Live Mail (Windows).
If you often get good ideas and need to jot them down, you could scribble
them on the nearest scrap of paper. However, it might be better to store them in
the Notes app on your iPad and then synchronize those notes to the Mail program
on a Mac or Microsoft Outlook on Windows. Notes act like miniature word proces-
sor documents for storing text.
Finally, you may have a group of favorite bookmarks that you’d like to trans-
fer between your iPad’s Safari browser and your computer web browser. Bykeep-
ing your favorite bookmarks synchronized, you’ll be able to visit your favorite
websites whenever you need them.
Q NOTE: If you’re synchronizing email, notes, and bookmarks between your iPad
and your computer through iCloud or an email provider like Gmail, then you
don’t need to manually synchronize these items through iTunes, so you can
skip these steps.
To synchronize email, notes, and browser bookmarks, follow these steps:
1. Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB cable, and run the iTunes
program on your computer.
2. Choose your iPad in the sidebar, and then click the Info tab. The Info screen
appears.
