Getting Started
Read this chapter to learn how to set up iPad, set up mail accounts, use iCloud, and more.

What you need

2
·
WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 125 before using iPad.
To use iPad, you need:
An Internet connection (broadband is recommended)
An Apple ID for some features, including iCloud, the App Store and iTunes Store, and online purchases. You can create an Apple ID during setup.
To use iPad with your computer, you need:
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:
Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
iTunes, available at www.itunes.com/download

Setting up iPad

To set up iPad, turn it on and follow the Setup Assistant. The onscreen directions in Setup Assistant step you through the setup process, including:
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID
Setting up iCloud
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 Backing up iPad on page 129.
13

Apple ID

An 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 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 now, or later 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, rst tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)
For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/he37.

Setting up mail and other accounts

iPad works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail, contacts, and calendar service providers.
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 Using iCloud on page 15.
Set up an iCloud 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 Adding contacts on page 69.
For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate environment, see
Setting up Microsoft Exchange accounts on page 120 .

Managing content on iPad

You can transfer information and les 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 Using 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 le to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 16.
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.
Note: 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.
Chapter 2 Getting Started 14

Using iCloud

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.
iCloud is available on iOS devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
iCloud features include:
iTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPad for free, anytime.
Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBookstore purchases for free, anytime.
Photo Stream—Photos you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices. See
Photo Stream on page 57.
Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date across all your devices.
Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date across all your devices.
Backup—Back up iPad to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. See
Backing up with iCloud on page 12 9.
Find My iPad—Locate your iPad on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the screen, or remotely wipe the data. See Find My iPad on page 33.
Find My Friends—Keep track of your family and friends (when connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network) using the Find My Friends app. Download the free app from the App Store.
iTunes Match—With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all your devices and can be downloaded and played on demand. See iTunes Match on page 81.
iCloud Tabs—See the webpages you have open on your other iOS devices or computers with OS X Mountain Lion or later installed. See Chapter 5, Safari, on page 41.
With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free space.
Note: iCloud is not available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more information, go to www.apple.com/icloud.
Sign in or create an iCloud account: Go to Settings > iCloud.
Manage iCloud: Go to Settings > iCloud.

Connecting iPad to your computer

Use the included USB cable to connect iPad to your computer. Connecting iPad to your computer lets you sync information, music, and other content with iTunes. You can also sync with iTunes wirelessly. See Syncing with iTunes on page 16.
Unless iPad is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. If you disconnect while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPad to your computer.

Syncing 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.
Set up wireless iTunes syncing: 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 automatically syncs every day. iPad must be connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer must be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on the computer. For more information, see iTunes Wi-Fi Sync on page 115 .
Chapter 2 Getting Started 16
Tips for syncing with iTunes
If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them to iPad using iTunes.
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPad are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPad.
In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPad when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPad appear in the iTunes window.
In the device’s Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPad backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. 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 will have to be reentered if you use the backup to restore iPad.
In the device’s Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from
your computer to iPad. Changes you make to a mail account on iPad don’t aect the account
on your computer.
In the device’s 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.
If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, your stopping point is included if you sync
the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPad, you can pick up where you left o in
iTunes on your computer—or vice versa.
In the device’s Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.

Siri

What is Siri?

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri
understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specic commands or remember keywords. You can ask things in dierent ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for
6:30 a.m.” or “Wake me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.
WARNING: For important information about avoiding distraction while driving, see Important
safety information on page 125 .
Siri lets you write and send a message, schedule a meeting, place a FaceTime call, get directions, set a reminder, search the web, and much more—simply by talking naturally. Siri asks a question
if it needs clarication or more information. Siri also uses information from your contacts, music
library, calendars, reminders, and so forth to know what you’re talking about.
Siri works seamlessly with most of the built-in apps on iPad, and uses Search and Location Services when needed. You can also ask Siri to open an app for you.
There’s so much you can say to Siri—here are some more examples, for starters:
FaceTime Joe
Set the timer for 30 minutes
Directions to the nearest Apple Store
Is it going to rain tomorrow?
Post to Facebook
Tweet
Note: Siri is available on iPad 3rd generation or later, and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.

Tap to speak to Siri.
Starting Siri
Siri comes to life with the press of a button.
Start Siri: Press the Home button until Siri appears. If you didn’t turn Siri on when you set up iPad, go to Settings > General > Siri.
You’ll hear two quick beeps and see “What can I help you with?” on the screen.
Just start speaking. The microphone icon lights up to let you know that Siri hears you talking. Once you’ve started a dialogue with Siri, tap the microphone icon to talk to it again.
Siri waits for you to stop speaking, but you can also tap the microphone icon to tell Siri you’re done. This is useful when there’s a lot of background noise. It can also speed up your conversation with Siri, since Siri won’t have to wait for your pause.
When you stop speaking, Siri displays what it heard and provides a response. Siri often includes related info that might be useful. If the info is related to an app—for example, a text message you’ve composed, or a location you asked for—just tap the display to open the app for details and further action.
What Siri heard you say
Siri’s response
Related info—tap to open the app.
Tap to speak to Siri.
Siri may ask you for clarication in order to complete a request. For example, tell Siri to “Remind
me to call mom,” and Siri may ask “What time would you like me to remind you?”
Cancel a request: Say “cancel,” tap , or press the Home button .
Telling Siri about yourself
The more Siri knows about you, the more it can use your information to help you. Siri gets your information from your personal info card (“My Info”) in Contacts.
Tell Siri who you are: Go to Settings > General > Siri > My Info, then tap your name.
Put your home and work addresses on your card, so you can say things like “Tell me how to get home.”
Chapter 4 Siri 36
Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so put those relationships on your personal info card—Siri can help you. For example, if you tell Siri to text your sister, Siri asks you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri adds that relationship to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time.
Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as phone numbers, email addresses, home and work addresses, and nicknames you like to use.
Onscreen guide
Siri prompts you with examples of things you can say, right on screen. Ask Siri “what can you do” or tap when Siri rst appears. Siri displays a list of the apps it supports, with an example request. Tap an item in the list to see more examples.
Handsfree Siri
You can use Siri with a compatible headset, such as the Apple EarPods with Remote & Mic (available separately), and other wired or Bluetooth headsets.
Talk to Siri using a headset: Press and hold the center button (or the call button on a Bluetooth headset).
To continue a conversation with Siri, press and hold the button each time you want to talk.
When you use a headset, Siri speaks its responses to you. Siri reads back text messages and email messages that you’ve dictated before sending them. This gives you a chance to change the message if you want. Siri also reads back the subjects of reminders before creating them.
Location Services
Because Siri knows locations like “current,” “home,” and “work” (if your iPad Wi-Fi + cellular model supports this feature), it can remind you to do a certain task when you leave a location or arrive
at a location. Tell Siri “Remind me to call my daughter when I leave the oce,” and Siri does
just that.
Location information isn’t tracked or stored outside iPad. You can still use Siri if you turn Location
Services o, but Siri won’t do anything that requires location information.
Turn o Location Services for Siri: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Chapter 4 Siri 37
Accessibility
Call the restaurant.
Visit the website.
Make a reservation through OpenTable.
See Yelp reviews.
Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so you can use iPad without seeing it.
Turn on VoiceOver: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notications to be read aloud for you. For more
information, see VoiceOver on page 97.
Setting options for Siri
Turn Siri on or o: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
Note: Turning Siri o resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.
Set options for Siri: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
Language: Select the language you want to use with Siri.
Voice Feedback: By default, Siri speaks its responses only when you use Siri with a headset. If you want Siri to always speak its responses, set this option to Always.
My Info: Let Siri know which card in Contacts contains your personal info. See Telling Siri about
yourself on page 36.
Allow or prevent access to Siri when iPad is locked with a passcode: Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions on page 116 .

Restaurants

Siri works with Yelp, OpenTable, and others to provide information about restaurants and help
you make reservations. Ask to nd restaurants by cuisine, price, location, outdoor seating, or a
combination of options. Siri can show you available photos, Yelp stars, price range, and reviews. Get more information by using the Yelp and OpenTable apps—iPad prompts you to download them if you don’t already have them installed.

Ask Siri about what movies are playing, or where you can see a specic movie. Find out when a lm premiered, who directed it and what awards it won. Siri gives theater locations, show times,
and Rotten Tomato reviews.
Siri works with Fandango to help you purchase tickets (for theaters that support it). Ask about showtimes for a movie, or tell Siri you want to buy tickets. When you tap Buy Tickets, Fandango opens if it’s installed, or you’ll be prompted to install the app from the App Store.

Sports

Siri knows a lot about sports—including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey. Ask Siri for game schedules, scores from the current season’s games, or up-to-the minute scores from live games. Tell Siri to show you player stats and compare them against other players’ stats. Siri tracks team records, too. Here are some things you might ask:
What was the score of the last Giants game?
What are the National League standings?
When is the Chicago Cubs rst game of the season?

Dictation

When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See Dictation on page 26.
Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri, you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text. Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing.
Siri understands a pause to mean you nished talking for the moment, and takes that
opportunity to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might interrupt you before you’re really done if you pause too long. With dictation, you can pause as much as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready.
You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients, revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from.
Chapter 4 Siri 39

Correcting Siri

If Siri is having trouble
Siri may sometimes have trouble understanding you—in a noisy environment, for example. If you speak with an accent, it can take Siri some time to get used to your voice. If Siri doesn’t hear you exactly right, you can make corrections.
Siri shows what it heard you say, along with its response.
Correct what Siri hears you say: Tap the bubble showing what Siri heard you say. Edit your request by typing, or tap on the keyboard to dictate.
For information about using dictation, see Dictation on page 26.
If some of the text is underlined in blue, tap it and Siri suggests some alternatives. Tap one of the suggestions, or replace the text by typing or dictating.
Correct Siri by voice: Tap , then restate or clarify your request. For example, “I meant Boston.”
When correcting Siri, don’t say what you don’t want—just tell Siri what you do want.
Correct a mail or text message: If Siri asks if you want to send the message, say something like:
Change it to: Call me tomorrow.
Add: See you there question mark.
No, send it to Bob.
No. (to keep the message without sending it)
Cancel.
To have Siri read the message to you, say “Read it back to me” or “Read me the message.” If it’s correct, say something like “Yes, send it.”
Noisy environments
In a noisy environment, hold iPad close to your mouth, but don’t talk directly into the bottom edge. Continue to speak clearly and naturally. Tap when you nish speaking.
Network connection
Siri might tell you it’s having trouble connecting to the network. Because Siri relies on Apple servers for voice recognition and other services, you need to have a good 3G, 4G, or LTE cellular connection or a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.

VoiceOver

VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPad without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. When you select an item, the VoiceOver cursor (a black rectangle) encloses it and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item.
Touch the screen or drag your ngers to hear dierent items on the screen. When you select text,
VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items on the screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learning VoiceOver gestures on page 100.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item
on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes locked or unlocked.

your nger up or down to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your nger.
Use a list index: Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index can’t be

Reorder a list: You can change the order of items in some lists, such as the Rotor and Language Rotor settings in Accessibility settings.

VoiceOver speaks the item you’ve moved above or below, depending on the direction you’re dragging.
Rearrange your Home screen: On the Home screen, select the icon you want to move. Double­tap and hold the icon, then drag it. VoiceOver speaks the row and column position as you drag the icon. Release the icon when it’s in the location you want. You can drag additional icons. Drag
an item to the left or right edge of the screen to move it to a dierent page of the Home screen. When you nish, press the Home button .

Learning VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects. These
and some additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items
when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include two- and three-nger gestures to tap or ick. For best results when using two- and three-nger gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the
screen with some space between them.
You can use dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can enter a two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each hand. You can also use your thumbs. Many nd the “split-tap” gesture especially eective: instead of selecting an item and double-tapping, you can touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with another nger. Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and icking gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers. When VoiceOver
is turned on, the VoiceOver Practice button appears, which gives you a chance to practice VoiceOver gestures before proceeding.
Practice VoiceOver gestures: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
