[QUOTE="Sawday, post: 1544750, member: 22882"] Didn't work for me. Plugged in my wife's work iPad intending to extract some photos from it and it assumed it was my iPad and commenced syncing.

Apple defaults seems to assume (a) that each user has one device of each type (b) that devices such as iPads are not shared and (c) that one wants all ones devices synced to match each other. An area they need to give clearer preference instructions to perhaps? [/QUOTE]
