Apple iPad iOS 5.1 - Manual (Page 21)

In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt backup” if you want to encrypt the information Â
stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by
a lock icon , and you need a password to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option,
passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and have to be
reentered if you use the backup to restore iPad.
In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
Â
your computer to iPad. Changes you make to a mail account on iPad don’t affect the account
on your computer.
In the device’s Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you
 replace the information
on iPad with the information from your computer during the next sync.
If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your stopping point is included if you sync the
Â
content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPad, you can pick up where you left off in iTunes
on your computer—or vice versa.
In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.
