Feb. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- You Can't Use Your iPad Right Out of the Box

iPadDid you know that you can’t start using your iPad right out of the box? It doesn’t matter how excited you are, or how charged the iPad’s battery might be, you cannot open the box and start using it. You have to activate your iPad through iTunes (the desktop/computer iTunes, not the iPad iTunes) before you can do anything else.
Activating the iPad

To activate your iPad you have have start by connecting the iPad to your computer with the iPad USB/dock connection cable (or via a dock, if you have a dock). Once connected iTunes should open automatically.

If you don’t have iTunes installed on your computer you’ll want to download it from www.itunes.com. If you have iTunes installed, but the iPad is not showing up in the left side frame of the screen, you probably need to update the software. On a Mac you can do this through Software Update in the Apple Menu, on Windows you can use Help -> Check for Updates from within iTunes.

Once you have iTunes straightened out, you are ready to activate your iPad. This part is pretty straight forward. You will be presented with a series of prompts to activate your iPad and register it. You also have to setup the iPad for your iTunes account. This is your Apple ID (if you have one). If you don’t have an Apple ID you can easily set one up using the button presented to you on the login screen.

Here’s a time saveing note for you. I recently helped my uncle set up his iPad. They have an Apple ID which they have used to buy from the Apple Online Store. That is how they bought the iPad. However, the Apple ID does not store their credit card information which is required to use iTunes and that ID in iTunes. As a result. when they went through the process they had to update their account and add the credit card to the account. To save time it might be a good idea to login to your account through the Apple Store site and make sure everything is set up, including storing a credit card.

Once you are finished registering (which is optional) and have your iTunes account set up you are good to go. You are ready to use your iPad.....almost.
Setting Up the iPad for a WIFI Connection

Before doing anything else I would set up your Internet connection. This might be a WIFI network or through 3G, or both. Both of these are accomplished through the "Settings" app on your iPad.

If the WIFI network you are using is protected you want to make sure you have the password.

On the left hand column of the Settings panel you will see “Wi-Fi.” Tap that and you will be presented with a list of networks. Tap the one you want. If you need a password you will be prompted for that. Once the password is entered (or not) you will be connected to the internet.
