[QUOTE="1991-C4, post: 1165972, member: 162118"] Sure it will work... but how lucky are you? If you would ever need to restore your iPad for whatever reason, you would lose everything. If your iPad were to break and you needed to have it replaced, you would have no way of putting all your stuff back on the new one. And when it comes time to replace the battery, Apple doesn't replace your battery, they exchange your iPad for another one (most likely a refurbished unit). If you are really worried about it, you can back up your entire iTunes library to CD or DVD's and then clear out your computer's library. You could also store your "stuff" on a cloud like DropBox. The bottom line is to have some other place for your irreplaceable stuff besides on your iPad alone. The three rules of computing are, [i]"Location, Location, Location."[/i] No wait, those are the three rules of real estate! The three rules for computing are, [i]"Backup, Backup, Backup!"[/i] [/QUOTE]
