Unlock iPad. Press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider that appears onscreen.

For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPad. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPad models with Touch ID) or Settings > Passcode (other models). See Use a passcode with data protection on page 42.

Turn iPad on. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Turn iPad off.Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the slider appears onscreen, then drag the slider.

Set up iPad

·WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 154 before using iPad.

With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up iPad. You can also set up iPad by connecting it to a computer and using iTunes (see Connect iPad to your computer on page 18).

Set up iPad. Turn on iPad, then 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 (needed for many features, including iCloud, FaceTime, the iTunes Store, the App Store, and more)

Entering a passcode

Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain

Turning on recommended features, such as Location Services Activating iPad with your carrier (cellular models)

You can also restore iPad from an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup. See Back up iPad on page 160.

Note: Find My iPad is turned on when you sign in to iCloud. Activation Lock is engaged to help prevent anyone else from setting up your iPad, even if it is completely restored. Before you sell or give away your iPad, you should reset it to erase your personal content and turn off Activation

Lock. See Sell or give away iPad on page 162.

Sign up for cellular service

If your iPad has an Apple SIM card (available on iPad models with cellular and Touch ID), you can choose a carrier and sign up for cellular service right on iPad. Depending on your home carrier and your destination, you may also be able to travel abroad with iPad and sign up for cellular service with a carrier in the country you’re visiting. This isn’t available in all areas and not all carriers are supported; contact your carrier for more information.

Sign up for cellular service. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, then tap Set Up Cellular Data and follow the onscreen instructions.

Set up cellular service in another country. When traveling to another country, you can choose a local carrier rather than roaming. Go to Settings > Cellular Data, tap Choose a Data Plan, then select the plan you want to use.

Apple SIM card kits are available for purchase at Apple Retail locations in countries with participating carriers.

You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud Photo Stream to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.

Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or iTunes, but not both.

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.

If you disconnect iPad while it’s syncing, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPad to your computer.

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, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPad, open iTunes on your computer, choose Help > iTunes Help, then select Sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes is available at www.itunes.com/download/.

Set up wireless syncing. Connect iPad to your computer. In iTunes on your computer, select your iPad, click Summary, then select Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.

Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer

Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, then set options in the different panes.

If iPad doesn’t appear in iTunes, make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes, check that the included cable is correctly connected, then try restarting your computer.

Encrypted backups are indicated by a lock icon , and a password is required 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.

In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, 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 Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.

In the Photos pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported app or folder on your computer.

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to iPad using iTunes.

If you turn on iCloud Photo Library, you can’t use iTunes to sync photos and videos to iPad.
