You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

  • HT1212 My ipod is disabled and i did everything this has told me to do , i restored my ipod & its still disabled ! How do i fix it ?

    My ipod has been disabled for about 3-4 months now , and i decided i was gonna fix today , so i did as it tells you to "Connect to ITunes" so i did and it tells me it cant connect to itunes because it is blocked with a password and it says to unlock it to connect , so i clicked "More information" and it says to connect my ipod to computer and restore , well i connected it to the computer , waited 20 minutes and restored it & it is still disabled !

    Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPod
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPod
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPod. Data will be lost if you do not have backup.

  • My computer told me I had to download a new verison of itunes so I did and now it's saying its been downloaded incorrectly even though I did everything this website told me to?

    My computer told me I had to download a new verison of itunes, the old one wasn't allowing me to put music on. So I went to itunes.com like it said and followed everything and downloaded it but now I cannot open it because it says it was downloaded incorrectly. I tried again and again and it kept doing the same thing. What do I do?

  • Trying to set up a new Lacie Porsche 9220 external drive on a 1.25Gb Dual Processor G4 Mirrordrive running OS X 10.5.8

    I'm trying to set up a new Lacie Porsche 9220 external drive on a 1.25Gb Dual Processor G4 Mirrordrive running OS X 10.5.8.
    I ran erase, formatting to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). But when I try to set up two partitions (Mac OS Extended Journaled for both) using Apple Partition Scheme, Disk Utility returns a fail as follows...

    Also, before partitioning, whilst erasing, the following warning appeared in Disk Utility....

    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." The items were just some photos (Jpegs) for which there should not be any privilege issues.
    Does this offer you enough to suggest any possibilities, perhaps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

  • TS3682 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone 5s with my iCloud account.  I backed up my iPhone 4s before I started.  I got an error message about backing up from my mac and my mac had installed an update.  However my new iPhone 5s looks frozen??

    I'm trying to set up my new iphone 5s.  I've backed up my icloud for my 4s to my mac.  When I've tried to download from my icloud to my 5S i got an error message and my mac has updated itunes (I think).  My new 5s is just sitting with the apple logo and a bar underneath which has moved about 10% but nothing for about 20 mins.  I can't turn the 5s off?  What do I do?

    Problem resoled -  it sorted itself out!!  Thought I'd broken it before I'd even used it.

    I am trying to set up my new replacement phone and the iCloud account is using my old email that is no longer activated, so I am not able to reset my password in order to set up messaging, etc. What do I do??

    Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.

    You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
    Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
    Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
    The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Just tried to set up my new Ipod touch but nothing restored

    Just Tried to set up my new Ipod touch and it does recognize it bu tI did not get any of my music or books or  notes, nothing, what's up?

    How did you restore?
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Notes are associated with the iCloud ID used. Are y using theme ID as the old device?
    Do they still show on the old device?

    The SMTP settings are separate from the POP or IMAP settings within Mail.app (which can be a little confusing), and the SMTP settings are incorrect.  That could be some combination of the username or password, the SMTP server name, the TCP port, whether or not SSL is in use or not.  It's more common to have SSL enabled.  All have to be correct.  The required SMTP server settings do vary by mail provider, unfortunately.  You can use Connection Doctor to get more details on the particular error; Window > Connection Doctor, then open the drawer for a look at additional details.  If you're not able to resolve the error from that output and from the mail provider's available documentation, and establish the connection, please scrub any personal details from the detailed diagnostics, and post that output here.
