How often do you sync your iPad?

by Gary Ng on October 1st, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’ve had my iPad for a couple of months now and I noticed that I actually, so far anyway, rarely ever sync the iPad to my computer.

The only reason I have for syncing is to back up applications that I have purchased and that are not available for free. E-mail is already “safe” with the use of IMAP since the server is remote. Depending on how you setup contacts and calendars the same applies, an I have only configured those on my iPhone.

I guess that if I was using it for work stuff more often and creating documents and presentation I would consider doing it more often or making sure to use a service like Dropbox to save files on-line.

So I was wondering, iPad users and readers of this blog, how often do YOU actually sync your iPad with our computer and why?

Maybe once a week. Most times to get my calendar and address book updated.

I only sync to add content to VLC and to get iOS updates.

So far about once a month, and then it takes a while because there’s a lot to sync!;) It’s so convenient doing app updates right on the iPad… Syncing just lets me put photo/music/video content updated from my computer…

I sync my iPad at least once a week. I carry my most recently purchased music on my iPad (all my music is on my iPod), so I need to sync it regularly.

If you use Google Sync those could happen over Wifi.

I’ve never synced my iPad since I first started it up. I stream my music and video using Streamtome so the harddrive is completely empty. I use Dropbox to get books and other documents on to it.

Only reason I ever plug in any of my iDevices is to install a new OS and jailbreak (didnt even have to plug it in for that this time)

I sync whenever there is an app update that I have become aware of, usually daily.

I’ve had my iPad since the first week of May and sync daily. I have over 300 apps so there are updates every day and I also use it for video podcasts so there are daily updates of those. I am also beta testing iOS 4.2 and an app so there are crash logs to submit most days.

I sync at least once a day usually several times each day. If I’m at my main computer, I’ll plug in my iPad to charge. While it’s charging I’ll sync it. By syncing often I keep my apps and podcasts updated and keep the back up time very short. I do the same with my iPhone.

Probably once every two months. Usually, when I say to myself, “oh, crap, I should do a backup.” speaking of which……….

Every couple weeks, but not nearly as much as my phone, which is every couple days.
