Errata

It says page 120 but should be page 170 (for the Keynote presentation).

Tired of plugging your iPad into the computer with a quaint old USB cable to sync, activate, or update your slab? That should be a thing of the past when iOS 5, the next version of the iPad's operating system, arrives in the Fall of 2011. The new OS promises wireless iTunes syncing, data backups, and software updates over the air (and a WiFi connection).

Pinyan should be Pinyin

Note; Fans of tabbed browsing, rejoice! The new version of Safari, to be included with iOS 5 (due Fall 2011), comes with real tabs atop the browser window.

Almafi should be Amalfi

We added an orange circle to this image to highlight the exposure square. Please see me for the substitution image.

Peter McKie has the sub art file.

Tip: Want to keep your iPad in sync with all your App Store purchases? While you're tromping around in the iPad's Settings area, tap the Store icon on the left side of the screen. Here, you can turn on automatic downloads, which deposit a copy of any music, apps, or books you bought through your iTunes account onto your iPad, no matter whether you originally bought the item on your computer, iPhone, or iPod Touch.

You can buy iBooks through the app (see opposite page) or through the desktop iTunes Store-to do the latter, just click the Books tab and then browse and sync away.

Replace art on opener with supplied P160_SUB.tif file.

Replace entire spread with new text and art in supplied InDesign file.

Replace entire spread with new text and art in supplied InDesign file.

Cut the words "Go to" so the last part of the sentence reads" "? and slide your digit down to the Help link."

Replace image in upper-right corner with supplied P175_SUB.ai art.

Replace existing text with:

Tap the Purchased icon on the iTunes screen to see all the music you've ever bought through your iTunes account-and re-download the songs to your iPad.

Replace image of wireless iTunes Store with supplied P183_SUB.tif art.

Tip: Want an easy way to download all your iTunes Store purchases to all your devices automatically? Install iTunes 10.3 with its iTunes in the Cloud feature and choose Edit (iTunes)>Preferences>Store. In the Automatic Downloads area, turn on the checkboxes next to Music, Apps, and Books. iTunes stores a copy of your purchases, no matter what Apple device you bought them on. Then, when you next sync any device with iTunes, it sends a copy of those purchases to that device.

Tip: Syncing photos between your iPad and other Apple devices will get a lot easier in the Fall of 2011, when Apple rolls out its iCloud service. Using the service's Photo Stream feature, pics you take or import on one device (or computer) automatically get copied to your iPad, iPhone, or anything else you have connected to iCloud. Apple has details at http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html.

Tip: iTunes 10.3 and later lets you re-download Store purchases made on other devices (like an iPhone) to your computer. Click the Purchased playlist in the iTunes Source list and click the Download Previous Purchases link at the bottom of the window to see a list of all the music, apps, and books you've bought. Click the iCloud icon, type in your iTunes password, and grab those files again.

Replace sentence with:

Apple's new iCloud service lets you re-download songs, apps, and iBooks you've purchased, but you may have library items that are unavailable in the iTunes Store (or that you home-ripped) that are gone forever.

Please alter the CMYK values of the callout to match the other callouts in the book.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Color spec on orange callout circle should be 67M 100Y 17K.

That's where Apple's MobileMe service used to come in. In early June of 2011, Apple announced it would phase out MobileMe in favor of a new online service called iCloud. Scheduled to arrive in Fall 2011, iCloud will handle all your info-synching needs between computers and devices. The service gives you 5 gigabytes of free online storage so you can sync, share, and back up contacts, calendars, mail, documents, music, and more between Macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches.

If you already have a MobileMe account, this chapter tells you how to use it until iCloud blows in. While you can no longer sign up for a new MobileMe account, existing MobileMe-ers can still use the service to keep your contacts, calendars, and more in sync across your computer and your Apple devices. MobileMe itself will be active until June 30, 2012, giving you plenty of time to transition your stuff to the new iCloud service. But if you can't wait to gaze up into iCloud, read about it at http://www.apple.com/icloud.

Note: MobileMe's upcoming conversion to iCloud isn't the only change scheduled for Fall 2011. Apple plans to roll out iOS 5, which brings 200 new features to the iPad, including a new messaging service, a virtual newsstand for digital publications, Twitter integration, and much more. For a preview of the changes to come, stroll over to http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5.

(Updating gets easier in the Fall of 2011, when the new iOS 5 software lets you wirelessly update your iPad-no computer necessary.)
