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.
Connect to Wi-Fi
If appears at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, and iPad reconnects

•
Join other network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the network. You need to know 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 rst 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.

For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/he37.
Set up mail and other accounts
iPad works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail,
contact, and calendar services.

iPad, or set one up later in Settings > iCloud. See iCloud on page 15.

•
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 le 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.

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

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.
Chapter 2 Getting Started 16
Sync with iTunes
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.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.
•
In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to sync iPad automatically when it’s attached to your
computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift
and Control (PC) until you see iPad appear in the iTunes window.
•
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.
•
In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.
Your iPad name

Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPad to update the time automatically, it
gets the correct time over the network and updates it for the time zone you’re in. Some networks
don’t support network time, so in some areas iPad may not be able to automatically determine
the local time.
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set
Automatically.
Set whether iPad shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time,
