Set up iPad
Set up iPad. Turn on iPad and 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
•
Entering a Passcode
•
Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain
•
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 Back up iPad on page 130.
If you can’t connect to a Wi-Fi network during setup, you can connect iPad to your computer to
complete the process. 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. iPad reconnects
anytime you return to the same location.
Join a Wi-Fi network or adjust Wi-Fi settings. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
•
Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks and enter the password, if asked.
•
Ask to join networks: Turn on “Ask to Join Networks” to be prompted when a Wi-Fi network
is available. Otherwise, you must manually join a network when a previously used network
isn’t available.
•
Forget a network: Tap next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this
Network.”
•
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the network. You need to know
the network name, security type, and password.
Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have an uncongured AirPort base station turned on and
within range, you can use iPad to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for “Set up an AirPort
base station.” Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant will do the rest.
