Hi, I just spoke to a rep at Apple this morning and my original reason for calling was not this topic. While I had her on the phone, I asked her how often I should sync my iPad. She told me that I should be doing this once a week. I hope this helps some of you.
BTW and while I'm here (I've been looking all over these discussions and Apple support for days for the answer to this problem.) How do I delete some of my wallpapers that are not only from apps, but also personal pictures? It is getting to be much too crowded. Thank you very much if someone could help me with this.
