How do you unsync iPad from MacBook?

Answer 1

To unsync an iPad from a MacBook:

Connect your iPad to the MacBook via USB or Wi-Fi.

Open Finder (macOS Catalina or later) or iTunes (macOS Mojave or earlier).

Select your iPad from the sidebar.

Go to the General or Summary tab.

Uncheck options like “Sync Music,” “Sync Photos,” or other synced content.

Click Apply or Sync to remove the synced data.

To completely disconnect, click Eject before unplugging the iPad.

Your iPad will no longer sync with that MacBook.

Answer 2

You can sync it by plugging it in. There isn't a 'unsync' button.

If you turn off the iCloud functions, it will slowly drift 'out of sync' as you use it.

You can delete all the user data, which will REALLY put it out of sync.

Answer 3

To unsync an iPod or iPad, one must click on the icon in the lower right corner of their computer's menu bar, and then right click the eject option in the menu.
