If your charger cable doesn’t have an electrical outlet adapter on it, skip this step.
If you’re using a Mac laptop computer, it most likely doesn’t have USB ports that fit the charger. You’ll need to buy a USB-C to USB 3. 0 adapter and then plug the adapter into one of the small USB ports on the side of the Mac. USB plugs only fit one way, so be sure to rotate the plug 180 degrees if it won’t fit into the port.
If you don’t yet have iTunes installed on your computer, install it first.
You’ll also need to click Continue on your computer if prompted.
If this is your first time connecting the iPad to this computer, you may be prompted to set up the iPad’s preferences on this page before continuing.
For some iPad models, your iPad will need to be actively charging in order for it to appear in iTunes over Wi-Fi. This means that you can plug the iPad into a wall charger.
