Читать книгу iPad and iPad Pro For Dummies - Bob LeVitus - Страница 18

To use your iPad, only a few simple things are required. Here’s a list of everything you need:

 An iPad

 An Apple ID (assuming that you want to acquire content such as apps, TV shows and movies, music, books, and podcasts, which you almost certainly do)

 Internet access — broadband wireless Internet access is recommended

Several years ago, we said you needed a computer with iTunes to sync your iPad. That’s no longer true; these days you can activate, set up, update, back up, and restore an iPad wirelessly without ever introducing it to a computer.

If you do decide to introduce your iPad to your computer (and we think you should), you need one of the following for syncing (which we discuss at length in Chapter 3):

 A Mac with a USB 2.0, 3.0, or C port, macOS version 10.8.5 or later, and iTunes 12.7 or later (for macOS Mojave and earlier) or Finder (macOS Catalina)

 A PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, Windows 7 or later, and iTunes 12.7 or later

iTunes is a free download, available at www.itunes.com/download.
