By default, the iPad automatically syncs when you attach it to your computer. Sometimes you just want to plug it in to charge it, or maybe you want to sync it later. Here’s how to disable and prevent syncing for one time.

1. Open iTunes.

2. Connect iPad to the computer.

3. Quickly press and hold Shift + Control for Windows PC or Command + Option for Mac.

You can always sync your iPad manually by using the button in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes window.
