iOS Device and iTunes Configuration Tips 
This station can be used with iTunes for synchronization and management of 
iPads and other iOS devices. For this and any other application (on Windows, 
Linux, etc.) this station acts as a USB hub. While these instructions are specific to 
iPads, virtually the same steps can be used for iPhones and iPod Touch devices.
Please note that this station only serves as a pathway for communication between 
your devices and the computer. Actual management and synchronization is handled by 
software or apps independent of this station.
The following tips for setting up your Mac for syncing your iPads are in no way 
meant to replace the official iTunes and iPad instructions available from Apple. 
Functions and appearance of both iTunes and iOS may change at any time.
1. iTunes’ automatic checking for software updates can sometimes cause 
problems or slow performance when syncing more than one iPad at 
a time. We suggest that you turn this option off. Select Preferences in 
the iTunes menu. In the General tab, make sure that “Check for new 
software updates automatically” is unchecked.
