How to Set Up an iPad
- 1). Download the latest version of iTunes to your personal computer. You must have version 9.1 or later to set up the iPad.
- 2). Open an iTunes account, if you don't already have one. Open iTunes and click on "iTunes Store" in the left window. Click "Sign In" at the top right, then click "Create New Account" and follow the instructions to create your new account. If you already have an iTunes account, sign in.
- 3). Connect the iPad to a USB 2.0 port on your personal computer using the USB cable included with the iPad.
- 4). Follow the prompts in iTunes to register your iPad and sync your iTunes content to your iPad. Syncing content allows your iPad access to music, video, contacts and calendar information stored in your iTunes library.
- 5). Select "Automatically Sync" on the iPad, located in the "Setup Your iPad" menu options page. The iPad will now automatically sync iTunes content when connected to your computer via the USB cable.
