2012-03-16
hey guys this is Austin and today mute Orioles showing you how you can set up an activate your brand new iPad so this is the new iPad the third generation the 2012 model whatever you want to call this the latest model with that Retina display it's very easy to set up however you guys need any help I'm right here let's go ahead and jump right on in so the first step is once you get it out of the packaging go ahead and find the button that is on the top right it's going just hold it for just one second or so it should start to boot up alright so once you're ready to begin go ahead and slide the set up now you can go ahead and pick your language so if you haven't need a different language than what it's automatically picked you can go ahead and change to that but my case go ahead and leave it alone next it says we'll go ahead and pick our country again it's already got United States set for me so go ahead skip that and now the next thing is location services so basically if you enable it allows you the iPad to find your location so some apps will you know use your location if you want normally I will go ahead and recommend enabling it but you know it's entirely up to you so I'm go ahead and hit next next thing I do is we're going to need to connect to our Wi-Fi network so this is very simple go ahead and connect to mine real quick here I do want to mention this we do not have a Wi-Fi network you can go ahead and plug your iPad in via USB to iTunes and allow it to set up that way however if you have a Wi-Fi network it's much easier to do it this way so next we'll go ahead go ahead and allow it to activate the iPad I'd say that you can take up to three minutes but obviously it took about four seconds so you know of course your time will vary there next up go ahead and set up your iPad so if you already have a previous iPad or indeed any kind of eye device you can go ahead and allow it to store from either an iTunes or an iCloud backup however if you want to start fresh and I generally I recommend to do that go ahead and just have setup as new iPad ready and click Next next we go ahead and sign in with an Apple ID so again if you've ever used iTunes an iPhone iPod Touch iMac pretty much you're going to have an Apple ID so if you had it Gwen sign in you can download all your apps and whatnot but if you this is your first Apple product you can go ahead and create it free Apple ID now go ahead and sign in with mine I'll be right back now the next step is to set up iCloud now again this is optional you don't have to use it however I definitely recommend to so for example if you have pictures you can take a picture on your iPhone you can sync to your iPod your iPad your Mac or whatever so I definitely recommend using iCloud although of course it is optional but might as well use it you can also change for the backup settings so if you do use iCloud you can simply back up your iPad so all your data can just be backed up every time or you can go ahead and back it up to your computer course the choice is yours but again and go ahead and let iCloud handle all that now here's a great option called Find My iPad so let's say you lose your iPad or stolen or whatever happens you can go ahead and be able to ping it on a map especially if it has GPS you will be able to find it and you have a much better chance of finding it or getting it back if it's stolen or whatever so definitely recommend go ahead and use it although again all these are definitely very optional but it really there's no reason not to use that next up we have Siri dictation so what this allows you to do is you go ahead and tap on the microphone button on the keyboard you can simply speak and it will you know type it all out for you so you know you can use it I definitely recommend to do that next step is diagnostic and usage now on the other hand I definitely don't recommend to do this this is totally optional basically if there's any crashes or whatnot on your iPad it will send the day to Apple but personally I would rather then not have that so click Next to here and next we go ahead and register it with your Apple ID so we'll go ahead and do that next all right so we're all done here we're all set up go ahead and click start using iPad and we're here so we can go ahead and start swiping through our home screens using our apps and all that kind of great stuff if you're interested in seeing more videos on the new iPad be sure to hit this playlist and of course if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to give it a thumbs up
