How can I tell if my iPad is syncing to my PC or iCloud? My iPad "synced" to iTunes once so I could set some settings. My iPad (iPad 2 iOS 5.0.1) is set to sync to iCloud. However when I set off a backup, iTunes opens on my PC and it seems that iTunes is doing the sync.

Is my data being saved in iCloud, on my PC or both? Can I get it to sync just to iCloud but be able to manage it via iTunes? I don't want the backup to eat space on my PC.
You can tell if you are backing up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage &amp; Backup on your iPad. Look at the bottom of that page and it will indicate when the last backup was. 

In iTunes, on the Summary tab there is a check box to backup to iCloud. If you ever want to backup to the computer you can Cmd-click on the device in the iTunes sidebar and select backup now ( or something like that). 

Syncing and backup are not the same thing.
