If you ever feel disorganized, you can let your computer or iPad help keep you on track by storing and alerting you of upcoming appointments, by storing contact information of important people you need to reach, and by saving any notes you may jot down.

You may also want to synchronize your email messages, notes, or browser bookmarks to and from your computer and your iPad. Such information can be extremely useful to have at your fingertips, but if you step away from your computer, then all this information is essentially useless if you can't access it.

To keep such important information with you at all times, you can transfer this data back and forth between your computer and your iPad, synchronizing your data automatically so you always have the most current data at all times on your computer and your iPad.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to synchronize contacts, appointments, and notes between your computer and your iPad.
