Happy Christmas everyone. We hope Santa has been good to you all. If you were lucky enough to receive a brand new iPad Air or Retina iPad Mini then this post is for you. It contains everything you need to know to set up and start using your brand new iPad Air or Retina iPad mini. If this is the first iPad you have ever owned, the first thing you'll want to do is get it set up so that you can start downloading apps and games, taking photos and all the other great things you can do with it.
The first thing you need to do is slide your finger across the bottom of the screen where it says slide to set up. The next thing you have to do is choose your language and your country. If you have Wi-Fi tap on your Wi-Fi network on the next menu. Alternatively, you can use a cellular connection, if you have an iPad that supports cellular data and it has already been activated by you carrier. Type in your Wi-Fi password if you have one and choose whether you would like to enable location services. There are certain apps like Maps that need location services enabled. On the next screen you will choose Set up as new iPad. Now you can either sign in with an exiting Apple ID or you can create a new one if you don't already have one. Next you choose whether you would like to use iCloud to backup and sync your contacts, calendars and other data. Most people choose yes for this step.
The next step is to choose whether you would like Find My iPad to be turned on. We highly recommend enabling this in the event that your iPad is ever lost of stolen because you will be able to track it from any iOS device by signing into Find My iPhone app or by going online to iCloud.com. It also helps to prevent thieves from being able to wipe your data without knowing your iCloud password.
On the next screen you get to choose the phone numbers and emails you'd like people to be able to use to contact you. Tap them to select or deselect them. On the next page you will will asked if you would like to set up Siri. We recommend choosing yet. Next you have to let Apple know if you'd like them to be able to collect diagnostics from your iPad to better improve iOS and their products. This is entirely up to you.
Once you have gotten to here, your new iPad is all set up and you can start using it. We hope you enjoy your new device and continue to check back here often for more information, advice and tips regarding all things Apple.
