Getting Started with Apple iOS Devices
You can add content to iPad or iPod touch directly on the device or add content using
iTunes on a computer. When you use Apple’s iCloud service, content that you’ve added
to or changed on one device or computer appears automatically on your other devices
or computers. You can also connect an iPad or iPod touch to a computer to sync the
contents of the iTunes library, calendars, contacts, and more to the device.
Using an iOS Device to Add Content
You don’t need a computer to add content to iPad or iPod touch. You can add content
directly to the device in a number of ways:
• Use the App Store to locate and download apps.
• Use iTunes to nd and download music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and more.
• Use the iTunes U app to browse and download iTunes U courses and other items.
• Use iBooks to download books from the iBookstore.
• Use Newsstand to add magazines, newspaper, and journals.
See “Finding and Using Additional Education Content” earlier in this guide for more
information.
Using iCloud to Access Content
By setting up iCloud on your devices and computers, any content downloaded to one
of those devices or computers appears automatically on your other devices and com-
puters. This content includes purchased music, email, photos, calendars, contacts, notes,
and documents such as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers les. iCloud also automatically
syncs any edits you make to your content, so if students work on a report in Pages on
iPad, for example, their changes are waiting for them on a Mac when they pick their
work back up later. With the Photo Stream feature, photos taken with an iPad or iPod
touch on a eld trip appear automatically on that user’s computer or could be shown
to the whole class with AirPlay and Apple TV.
