Section 1 iPad Cart Setup Powering Your Cart Preparing iTunes for Syncing • The electrical cord for plugging into the wall outlet is on the right side of the cart. • Open iTunes, if it did not automatically open. • Turn main Power Switch on the back of the cart to the ON position. • Before syncing the first time, go to iTunes>Preferences. Click on the Devices tab at the top. • The cart needs to be plugged in to the wall outlet whether syncing or charging the iPads. Placing iPads in the Cart • Make sure the “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” is UNCHECKED! The Bretford logo on the connector cable should face the same direction as the iPad screen when plugging in the connector. • Click OK. Using Your MacBook with the Cart • Before iPads can begin the syncing process, the cart’s USB cable must be plugged into the MacBook. Syncing the iPads in the Cart The iPads will automatically sync with the library on the MacBook. While iPads are syncing, the top of the iTunes window will display progress noted by a “barber pole”. iPads should NOT be unplugged while the sync is in process. • This should only be done when you are syncing the iPads, NOT when charging. (The iPads will charge with the syncing cable plugged in but it will take MUCH longer to reach a full charge.) 46
