Read this chapter to learn how to set up iPad, set up mail accounts, use iCloud, and more.
·WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 123 before using iPad.
Set up iPad. Turn on iPad and follow the Setup Assistant.
The Setup Assistant guides you through the setup process, including:
••
••
••
••
••
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID Entering a passcode
Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain
Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPad
During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPad by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes. See Back up iPad on page 128.
If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi Internet connection during setup, you can use your computer’s Internet connection—just connect iPad to your computer when prompted by the Setup Assistant. For help connecting iPad to your computer, see Connect iPad to your computer on page 16.
If appears at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, and iPad reconnects anytime you return to the same location.
Join a Wi-Fi network or adjust Wi-Fi settings. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
••
••
••
••
Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks and enter the password, if asked.
Ask to join networks: Turn on Ask to Join Networks to be prompted when a Wi-Fi network is available. Otherwise, you must manually join a network when a previously used network isn’t available.
Forget a network: Tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap Forget this Network.
Join other network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the network. You need to know the network name, security type, and password.
Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have a new or unconfigured AirPort base station turned on and within range, you can use iPad to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for “Set up an AirPort base station.”Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant does the rest.
13
Manage your AirPort network. If iPad is connected to an AirPort base station, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, tap next to the network name, then tap Manage this Network. If you haven’t yet downloaded AirPort Utility, tap OK to open the App Store and download it (this requires an Internet connection).
Your Apple ID is the user name for a free account that lets you access Apple services, such as the iTunes Store, the App Store, and iCloud. You need only one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. There may be charges for services and products that you use, purchase, or rent.
If you have an Apple ID, use it when you first set up iPad, and whenever you need to sign in to an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one when you’re asked to sign in.
Create an Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and tap Sign In. (If you’re already signed in and want to create another Apple ID, first tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)
For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/he37.
iPad works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail, contact, and calendar services.
If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a free iCloud account when you set up iPad, or set one up later in Settings > iCloud. See iCloud on page 15.
Set up an iCloud mail account. Go to Settings > iCloud.
Set up another account. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or organization supports it. See Add contacts on page 72.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate environment, see Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on page 118.
You can transfer information and files between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers, using either iCloud or iTunes.
••
••
iCloud stores content such as music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. See iCloud, below.
iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
copy a file to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud Photo Stream to automatically push photos you take on iPad to your other devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPad.
Chapter 2 Getting Started |
14 |
Important: Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you may see duplicated data on iPad.
You can also choose to manually manage content from iTunes by selecting that option in the iPad Summary pane. Then you can drag songs or videos from your iTunes library to iPad in iTunes.This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can fit on your iPad.
Note: If you use iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers set up with the same iCloud account.

•• A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
•• OS X version 10.6.8 or later
•• Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
•• iTunes, available at www.itunes.com/download
Unless iPad is actively syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. Look at the top of the iTunes screen on your computer or on iPad to see if syncing is in progress. If you disconnect iPad while it’s syncing, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPad to your computer.

Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPad, and vice versa. You can sync by connecting iPad to your computer with the included USB cable, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For information about syncing iPad, open iTunes on your computer, then select iTunes Help from the Help menu.
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPad to your computer using the included USB cable. In iTunes on your computer, select iPad, click Summary, then turn on “Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.”
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on the computer.

If you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup, select “Encrypt iPad backup” in the Summary pane. Encrypted backups are indicated by a
lock icon , and a password is required in order to restore the backup. If you don’t select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPad.
When you sync mail accounts in the Info pane, only the settings are transferred from your computer to iPad. Changes you make to an account on iPad don’t sync to your computer.
In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPad with the information from your computer during the next sync.

Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn off Set
Automatically.
