Updating Apps: When you see a number in the upper right hand corner of

the App Store icon, it is indicating that there is an update available for apps that you have downloaded.

Wireless Syncing of Apps: One of the very new ‘PC Free’ features of iOS 5-6 is Wi-Fi sync – wireless sync between your iPad or iPhone and your PC. This will allow you to keep photos and videos, music, and apps in sync without having to connect your iPad to your PC via the sync /charge cable. Once this feature is enabled, every time you connect your iPad to a power source it will automatically sync and backup any new content purchased on the iPad to iTunes. You can also manually force a sync by going to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and tapping ‘Sync Now’.

Connect your iPad to your PC via USB / sync cable

In the Devices section in the left-hand pane of the iTunes window, click on your iPad’s name and you’ll see it highlighted in blue

Then in the main window of iTunes scroll down just a bit so you can see the Options section

You should see that the second checkbox under Options is ‘Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi’ – click on that to make it checked /selected

iCloud:

iCloud is specific storage space on the Internet used for your Apple devices

It works through an iTunes Account allowing downloads and uploads between devices with the sane iTunes account when iCloud is activated on the device(s)

To view items stored on the iCloud for a specific ITunes account, go to www.icloud.com and login with the iTunes account name and password

Note: It is not recommended that you use iCloud in the district as sensitive information can be inadvertently stored on iCloud.
