Wi-Fi
Under Wi-Fi, you can turn your iPad's wireless connection on or
off, and easily join nearby networks so you can access the
internet. Once you join a network, your device will connect to it
automatically whenever it's in range.
To Turn Wi-Fi On or Off:
Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen.
Tap Wi-Fi in the left pane.
Next to Wi-Fi, tap the control to turn it ON or OFF.
If the network isn't secure, you can
connect to it without a password,
but you should think carefully
before you do (especially if it's a
public hotspot; for example, Wi-Fi
at your local coffee shop).
Joining Networks
To join a network that's in range (for example, your home's WiFi, or a nearby public hotspot), look for it under Choose a
Network. Then tap the network you want to use. If the
network is secure, you'll need to enter a password in order to
connect to it.

To Set a Passcode:
By default, iPad doesn't require a passcode to unlock it, but you can
set one to help protect your device.
Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen.
Tap General in the left pane.
Next to Passcode Lock, tap the control to view your options.
•Tap Turn Passcode On.
•Use the keypad to enter your 4-digit passcode.
Once you unbox your iPad, you’ll immediately want to
connect the iPad’s USB cable to your default home machine
and open iTunes. When iTunes launches you’ll be asked to
activate the iPad, agree to its Terms and Conditions, and
register your device.
iTunes will serve as your iPad’s backup system and will
suggest that you restore your iPad from a previous iPhone
or iPod Touch backup if you have one of those devices or
start with a clean content slate on your iPad.
Next, you can choose to automatically sync applications,
photos, music and videos. Choose wisely — depending on
your media inventory, the initial sync process could take
awhile. It is recommend to deselect the automatic sync
options and customize your iPad preferences via iTunes
after this step.
iTunes on your laptop or
desktop will serve as your
iPad’s home base. After the
initial setup process, you
will want to customize your
iPad’s media content and
configure your settings.
Start by selecting your iPad
in iTunes; it’s located under
the Devices label in the lefthand menu bar.
Info: From the Info tab you can choose to sync your address box
contacts, iCal calendars, mail accounts, and Safari notes and
bookmarks. In the advanced section you can elect to have iTunes
sync your iPad’s contacts, calendars and mail accounts with your
computer.
Apps: This is where you’ll go to manage your iPad apps. If you own
an iPhone or iPod Touch, you’ll notice that all of the apps you
already own are pre-populated here. Select the apps that you want
to appear on your iPad from the left-hand menu, which can by
sorted by name, category or date. You can then drag-and-drop the
ticked apps to switch them from one iPad page to another. You can
also drag-and-drop individual pages to rearrange them.
Music: The music tab will let you sync your entire music library or
individually-selected playlists, artists and genres. Should you select
the latter, you can manage those songs from the Music option
below your iPad in the Devices section of the left-hand menu.
Movies: In this section you can manage the movies that will be
synced with your iPad. Use the drop down menu to specify whether
you want to automatically sync all movies or just some of them. You
can also scroll down to select to sync individual movie playlists.

Updating Your Software
Software Update is where you can check for - and download iOS updates from Apple. Updates frequently include bug fixes
and other improvements designed to enhance your experience
with the iPad. To view updates, tap Software Update while in
General Settings. Then tap Download and Install if an update is
available.
Locations Services
is an optional setting that, when turned on, uses Wi-Fi
and/or 3G or 4G to determine your current location. This
data can be used by different apps in many different ways.
Find My iPad
This feature uses location data to help you find your iPad (and
remotely protect it from misuse) if it's ever lost or stolen. You can
also use it to make your iPad play a sound in the event that
you've just misplaced it. To enable this feature, tap Find My iPad
while in Location Services. Then tap the control to turn it ON or
OFF.
Backing Up Your Ipad
A manual backup is a good idea if you expect to
exchange your device or if you plan on doing something
that could wipe the information on your iPad.
1. Plug in your iPad to a computer running the latest
version of iTunes.
2. Once the sync is complete, right-click the iPad under
the DEVICES list and click Back Up from the menu that
appears.
Note: iPad backups will only save the device’s settings,
not the applications, photos, videos, etc. Those items
are saved if Sync for each of those categories is enabled.

by touching and holding any app on the Home screen. When
the icons begin to shake, drag and drop them wherever you
want (even on or off the dock) to change their arrangement.
To move an icon to another screen, drag it to the left or right
edge. When you're done, press the Home button on your

on the screen.

Spotlighting:
You can use the spotlight feature on your iPad to search
for content located on your iPad. The search will return
all results including documents, email, and apps with the
query you type. This can be handy for finding content
and launching apps. Instead of searching through
numerous pages filled with apps, quickly find an app by
using the spotlight function and the app name.
iBooks:
IBooks doesn't let you change the background color to
black and text to white like you can on the Kindle. But
here is a workaround. Go to Settings >General
>Accessibility >Triple Click Home. Set this to "Toggle white
on black." Now, when you click the home button three
times quickly, all the color values of whatever app you're
in will be reversed. This lets you read iBooks in white on
black.
Getting started

purchased items between other devices; for example, your computer,
iPhone, or iPod Touch. That means you can buy content on your
iPad (or visa versa), then watch or listen to it from any device. You
can set up syncing by connecting your iPad to your computer,
