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

Network.”

Apple. There may be charges for services and products that you use, purchase, or rent. 
If you have an Apple ID, use it when you rst set up iPad, and whenever you need to sign in to 
an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one when you’re asked to 
sign in.

contacts, and calendar service providers.

iPad, or set one up later in Settings > iCloud. See iCloud on page 15.

Mail, Contacts, and Calendar on page 120.

You can transfer information and les between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers, 
using either iCloud or iTunes.
 •iCloud stores content such as music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, and
wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. 
See iCloud, below.
 •iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
copy a le to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 16.

iCloud Photo Stream to automatically push photos you take on iPad to your other devices, and 
use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPad.

also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you may see 
duplicated data on iPad.
iCloud
iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported 
documents. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and 
computers set up with the same iCloud account. 
iCloud is available on iOS devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with OS X Lion v10.7.2 
or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8 is

page 58 and My Photo Stream on page 59.
 •Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date
across all your devices.
 •Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date

Connect iPad to your computer
Use the included USB cable to connect iPad to your computer. Connecting iPad to your 
computer lets you sync information, music, and other content with iTunes. You can also sync with 
iTunes wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes on page 16. To use iPad with your computer, you need:
 •A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the following
operating systems:
 •Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later
 •Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
 •iTunes, available at www.itunes.com/download
Unless iPad is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it at any time. If you disconnect 
while a sync is in progress, some data may not get synced until the next time you connect iPad 
to your computer. 
Sync with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPad, and vice versa. You can sync 
by connecting iPad to your computer with the included USB cable, or you can set up iTunes to 
sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and 
more. For information about syncing iPad, open iTunes on your computer, then select iTunes 
Help from the Help menu.

Chapter  2    Getting Started  17
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPad to your computer using the included USB cable. In iTunes on your 
computer, select iPad, click Summary, then turn on “Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi.”
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both 
iPad and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on 
the computer.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
Connect iPad to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.
 •In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPad when it’s attached to your
computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift
and Control (PC) until you see iPad appear in the iTunes window.
 •In the Summary pane, select “Encrypt iPad backup” if you want to encrypt the information
stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a
lock icon  , and a password is required in order to restore the backup. If you don’t select this
option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and
you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPad.
 •In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your
computer to iPad. Changes you make to a mail account on iPad don’t aect the account on
your computer.
 •In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on iPad
with the information from your computer during the next sync.
 •In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.
Your iPad name
The name of your iPad is used by iTunes and iCloud.
Change the name of your iPad. Go to Settings > General > About > Name.
Date and time
The date and time are usually set for you based on your location—take a look at the Lock screen 
to see if they’re correct.
Set whether iPad updates the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General > Date & 
Time, then turn Set Automatically on or o. If you set iPad to update the time automatically, it 
gets the correct time over the network and updates it for the time zone you’re in. Some networks 
don’t support network time, so in some areas iPad may not be able to automatically determine 
the local time.
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn o Set 
Automatically. 
Set whether iPad shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time,

Initially, iPad doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it. You can set a passcode that 
must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPad.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode. 
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail 
messages and attachments stored on iPad, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may also 
use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s 
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPad using 
the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.
Allow access to features when iPad is locked. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock. 
Optional features include:
