How to Export iTunes to an iPad

One is the broad, flat end plug into the socket just below the 'Home' button on your iPad, and the other end is a normal USB plug that can be connected to any USB port on your computer. The iTunes program will open automatically once the iPad is connected to your computer.

Each category offers you different syncing options, and it allows you to choose whether you want to export your whole library to the iPad, or only selected playlists, songs and videos.
Click the 'Apply' button in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen in iTunes to sync your iPad with your computer. If this is the first time your are syncing your iPad to your iTunes library, it will ask you whether you want to 'merge' the data on the iPad and computer, replace the data on the iPad, or replace the data on your computer. If you choose 'merge,' iTunes will put data that's on iTunes but not the iPad onto the computer and vice versa, but not delete anything. If you choose to replace the data on the iPad, it will delete any data present on the iPad that's not present on your computer, and if you choose to replace data on the computer, it will delete anything in your iTunes library not stored on the iPad.

Compare the discounted Macs you found, considering both prices and specifications. You should also take into account the warranty offered.
Choose your preferred discounted Mac and purchase it. Consider extending the warranty if you see your new Mac as a long-term investment.

If it is not present or the camera still does not function, proceed to Step 4.

If it does not work, select 'Restart' from the Apple logo options and try again. Finally, select 'Shut Down' and allow the computer to power down. Power on the computer, and try the camera once more. Proceed to Step 5 if the issue is still not resolved.
Shut down the computer. Disconnect the power supply cable. Turn the MacBook over and remove the battery. If the battery is inside the case and not removable without taking off the backing, simply skip the battery removal.
