i seem to be accident prone with my ipad. i unplugged my ipad without ejecting it. what problems could that cause, if any?
oh really? i thought it was there to stop corruption?

Unplugging in the middle of a sync would cause corruption. if there is nothing actively going on between iTunes and the iPad when you unplug it, there is nothing going on to be corrupted.

oh okay. well i had finished syncing so i guess it's fine.
now for future reference, it if was unplugged (accidentally of course) mid sync, or mid update or something, would a restore resolve any problems?
Don't quote me but I'd imagine it was just the song or app that is syncing at the time that gets corrupted. Another sync would fix the broken app.oh okay. well i had finished syncing so i guess it's fine.

There is a sex joke in here somewhere...
In the good old days there'd be a horrible rhyme to scare little kids out of this practice.

In the good old days there'd be a horrible rhyme to scare little kids out of this practice.
Let's see:
Johnny was a lazy boy,
Who treated his iPad like a toy.
And so when it was time for tea,
He'd just yank out the USB.
His mother gave him a worried hug,
"Always eject before you unplug,
Or the Dongle Man, all dressed in red,
Will pull the teeth out of your head."
Johnny, laughing at this fact,
Continued to carelessly extract,
His iPad from it's receptacle,
With no regard for protocol.
One night as Johnny soundly slept.
Into his room a strange beast crept.
Dressed all o'er in robes of red,
All hung about with dongles, dead,
In bore with it a fearsome widget,
An extractor tool (5 bucks from iFixit).
And Johnny, despite his disbelief,
Woke up to find he had no teeth.
So heed this tale, or else expect,
Next time you improperly eject,
The Dongle Man to visit your room,
And leave you eating with a spoon.
Sorry - definitely flagging a bit at the end there.
