On the iPad, contact information gets stored in the Contacts app. If you're using a Macintosh, this information is probably already stored in your Address Book program. If you're using a Windows computer, this contact information is likely in Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
In addition, you can also store and synchronize contact information that you may have saved in Google Contacts or Yahoo! Address Book. Syncing means that any new contact you add to your address book of choice will automatically appear in your iPad (and vice versa).
To synchronize your contact information, follow these steps:
Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB cable.
Run iTunes on your computer.
Click the name of your iPad in the Devices category.
Click the Info tab. The Info screen appears.
Check (or uncheck) the Sync Address Book Contacts checkbox, as shown in Figure 20-1.
Click the All contacts or Selected groups radio button. (If you click the Selected groups radio button, you can check the checkboxes of different contact groups you may have created on your computer.)
(Optional) Check the Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPad checkbox. Then use the pop-up menu to define which group to store these contacts in.
(Optional) Check the Sync Yahoo! Contacts checkbox. Then click Configure.
(Optional) Check the Sync Google Contacts checkbox. Then click Configure.
Click Apply.
