set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi.

Connect the iPad Pro to your computer. In iTunes on your computer, select your iPad Pro, click
Summary

Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi
. If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, the iPad Pro syncs when (a) it is
connected to a power source, (b) both the iPad Pro and your computer are turned on and connected to
the same wireless network, or (c) iTunes is open on your computer.
Syncing with iTunes on your Computer
Connect the device to your computer, select it in iTunes, and then set options in the different panes. If
the device does not appear in iTunes, make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes, verify that
the cable is correctly connected, and then try restarting your computer.
