All iPads Do you sync your iPad with your computer regularly? (Poll)

[12vElectronics]

I don't. I just use iCloud. Plus, nothing important on the iPad mini anyways..

 

[Davidkoh]

My iPad 4 have never been plugged into a computer, don't see a reason for it. I sync mine with the cloud.

 

[Ladybug]

I don't, nothing on my ipad I can't reinstall or of any importance.

 

[boshii]

iCloud syncing is easier.

 

[nixiemaiden]

I have an iPad 2 and have only backed it up before doing updates that I had to plug into iTunes to do.

 

[solaris]

Never. It sync to iCloud, which is enough for me.

 

[saberahul]

My iPad is a computer by itself. I sync my files and documents to PDF Expert using cloud services but do not actually sync anything with iTunes.

 

[Almy]

Never, I actually never even synced my iPhones back when there was no iCloud. I never had problems, even back with an iPhone 3G never syncing.

 

[AQUADock]

I do due the the fact that my internet is capped at 4GBs so backing up and syncing apps through iCloud would use a lot of my limit.

Your internet at home is capped?

I do, sometimes several times a day. I have he same iTunes library file copied onto two MacBooks so that I can sync between them and not lose anything. I sync music and apps on one and pictures from the other so each has backups.

To the OP: thanks for this poll, it's produced some interesting responses.

Since I use mine for a variety of purposes I sync it every time it's used without even thinking about it.

 

[lexvo]

Yes, almost every day. I use this iPad for work and I find it important to have an actual backup.

 

[KattDaDon]

When iCloud came out. I switch over and never look back.

 

[Che Castro]

One time just to jailbreak ipad mini since launch

With two iPads and an iPhone I tend to sync both with iTunes and in iCloud...... When I get notification of a bunch of app updates, I first download into the computer, and then I sync each device individually (usually wirelessly). If I've added a bunch of new music recently I also will sync the old iPod Classic that I use primarily in the car, too. After everything has been synced with iTunes in the computer, I then also sync/backup to the Cloud as well. Covers all bases!

I backup to a lappy about once a month.

 

[ozaz]

Not at all. Just use iCloud backup.

The only critical things are photos, contacts, emails, and notes. These all either sync to iCloud or MS Exchange. Since iCloud backup will automate re-installation and organisation of apps into folders on a replacement device, I have no worries.

 

[TyPod]

No, I only sync to get some new music.

 

[Fruit Cake]

Once a week/month, and always when a new one comes out so I can cut over seamlessly.
