How to Set Up a New iPad
If you buy the New iPad and want to configure for the first time, this tutorial will
show how begin.
Here's how to set up a new iPad:
1. Take the new iPad out of the box and remove all of the plastic protectors. This is
important. The iPad can get hot, and we don't want to leave that plastic on the
device while it's running!
2. Turn on the iPad by pressing and holding the power button, as shown below. You'll
know the iPad has started booting up when the Apple logo appears on the screen.

3. The iPad welcome screen appears, as shown below. Slide the button to
unlock the screen.
4. Select a language to use with your iPad, and then click the blue button in
the top-right corner to continue, as shown below.

6. Now you'll need to decide whether or not to enable Location Services. We
recommend that you enable this feature. It allows applications and websites
to use information from cellular, wireless, and GPS networks to determine
your approximate location. You can always disable Location Services at a
later time. Select an option, and then click the blue Next button to
continue, as shown below.

wireless network from the list, and then click the blue Next button to
continue, as shown below.

9. If this is your first iPad, you'll want to select Set Up as New iPad. If
you've previously set up the iPad and had to erase it, you can restore it
from an iCloud or iTunes backup. Select an option and then click the
blue Next button to continue, as shown below.

10. Apple's iCloud service—which provides file storage, extra services, and the
ability to keep all of your iOS devices and computers connected is deeply
integrated in iOS. It's free to use. At this point, you can enter an existing
iCloud account, or create a new one, as shown below. (You can also skip
this step and create an account later.)

minutes.

12. As mentioned earlier, iCloud is deeply integrated in iOS. Now you'll have the

13. It's a good idea to back up your iPad. If you ever have to reset it, you can
simply restore the backup and have all of your apps, files, and settings
moved back to your iPad. You can store the backup on your computer, but
we recommend using iCloud to store your backup. It's free, and if
something happens to your computer, you'll still have your iPad backup on
iCloud. Select an option and then click the Next button, as shown below.

14. Here's a cool feature called Find My iPad. If you ever lose your iPad, you
can log in to the iCloud website to see your iPad's approximate location on a
map. Of course, for this feature to work, your iPad has to be powered on
and connected to a network. We still recommend enabling it, if only for the
coolness factor. Select an option and then click theNext button, as shown
below.

15. The iPad doesn't have Siri (yet), but the dictation feature is the next best
thing. Enable it, and you'll be able to speak to your iPad and have your
words transcribed into text. Just think, you could write the next Great
American Novel by speaking it to your iPad on the way to work! Select an
option and then click the Next button, as shown below.

17. It's a good idea to register your iPad with Apple, if only to have your device
on file for warranty purposes. That way, Apple will know that you own this
particular iPad and you can get it fixed if something happens to it. (Subject
to your warranty coverage, of course.) Select an option and then click
the Next button, as shown below.
