Backing up your iPad

Things to consider when backing up an iPad so that you don’t lose work:

1. Photos, music, and videos
2. Projects: iMovie, Book Creator…
3. Calendar (if you're not using your GMail)
4. Notes and Reminders

Backup your files to iTunes.

• Things like your apps, iPad calendar, and reminders need to be backed up to iTunes not iCloud.

Do not backup to iCloud.

Backup to Google Drive

The best option to save projects, photos, and videos from your camera roll is to upload to your Google Drive. To do this,

1. open Google Drive on your iPad.
2. Click the Plus Sign in the upper right.
3. Choose Upload Photos or Videos.
4. Select your item and click the blue check mark to upload it.

Backing up projects:

Your Ipad apps will fall into one of these categories:

• Many apps such as Keynote and Book Creator allow you to “Open in Another App” so you can easily choose Google Drive, and then click upload to Google Drive.
• Other apps such as iMovie and 30Hands will need to be saved to the camera roll first, and then uploaded to Google Drive.
• Educreations and other apps that require teacher accounts to be backed up, need to be saved to your online account.

Before you hand in your iPad:

1. Save any photos, videos, or projects that you want to keep
2. Sign out of iCloud
3. Remove your passcode from the iPad
