Proles settings
Conguration proles dene settings for using iPad with corporate or school networks or 
accounts. You might be asked to install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, 
or one that is downloaded from a webpage. iPad asks for your permission to install the prole, 
and displays information about what it contains, when you open the le. You can see the proles 
you have installed in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings, apps, 
and data associated with the prole are also deleted.
Back up iPad
You can use iCloud or iTunes to automatically back up iPad. If you choose to back up using 
iCloud, you can’t also use iTunes to automatically back up to your computer, but you can use 
iTunes to manually back up to your computer. iCloud backs up iPad daily over Wi-Fi, when it’s 
connected to a power source and is locked. The date and time of the last backup is listed at the 
bottom of the Backup screen. 
iCloud backs up your:
 •
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books

Photos and videos taken with iPad (if you use iCloud Photo Library, your photos and videos are 
already stored in iCloud, so they won’t also be part of an iCloud backup)
