How do I set up my iPad 2?

When I first receive my iPad 2 will it require me to connect it to a computer or can I set it up wirelessly?
Also does it come with iOS5 or will I have to connect to my computer to update it?
Thanks

It depends on whether iOS 5 is pre-installed as to whether you need to connect it to a computer. There may still be some iPads in stores with iOS 4 on them, in which case you will need a computer, but if you buy it an Apple store they should be able to activate it for you, though if you go at peak time you may need to wait - a computer will also be needed to update to iOS 5, assuming that you want iOS 5.

I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish. On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting. How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server? Thanks for the help.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

How do i set up an ipad to become a kiosk in my business for access to my website and e-club sign-up?

i'm seeking information about how i may set up an ipad as a kiosk in my business for guests to access my website while visiting, as well as to be able to sign up to my e-club. I need the ipad to be completely locked down to the public with access only to the website and e-club sign-up. Any help?

If your carrier offers tethering, you will see it in Settings -> General -> Network. If your carrier doesn't offer it, you won't.

How do I set up my iPad to receive text

You can use the Messages app to send and receive iMessages with other iOS users as well as people who have the Mac OSX iMessages beta. In order to send messages to other types of cell phones, you'd need an app like TextFree.
To set up iMessage, refer to the relevant section in the manual:

How do I set up my iPad so that I can recieve the emails from my Outlook Express account

How do I set up my iPad so that I can recieve the emails from my Outlook Express account

Your iPad doesn't receive email from Outlook Express (or any other email client). It receives email from your email provider. To set up your email account on your iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap Add Account and add your email provider's account settings with your username and password. iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail email settings are automatically entered by tapping the appropriate button. Others must be manually entered by tapping Other. (Exchange accounts will also require you to enter your email provider's settings.)

How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

Kodak has a firmware upgrade to allow a version of air printing via a third party service, google docs I think. You can e-mail documents to your printer, or you can set up a hardwired printer as a local print server and send them to that.
Or you can look into an app. I have that same model of printer and use Print n Share and it works fine...slow but fine. I didn't go for the firmware cloud printing simply because I didn't want yet another online account.

Now my family has 3 iPads ,all with the same Apple ID . How do I set up each iPad with its own info?

Now my family has 3 iPads, all with the same Apple ID. How do I set them up with their own info.

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services

Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

Thanks,

How do I set up my Ipad to receive mail from Verizon?

I just bought an Ipad 2 with Verizon. I cannot receive mail through the Ipad, only through Verizon.net. How can I set it up to get my mail?

No. You made it sound like you were not able to do it and that is what I was asking, look here for help. This shows you the steps for Verizon email on the iPad.

If you set up like this it should be fine. Then all you have to do is launch the mail app in order to send and receive email.

How do i set up and ipad for my children using my Itunes account without synching my data from my Iphone? (contacts, calendar, etc

I do not want or need my contacts and calendar on their ipad, but I would like to use my Itunes account...

It's easy enough to do. You can share one Apple ID and have your own content on each iPad. You do not have to have the same apps, music, books and so on. Set up the iPad with your Apple ID for purchases. If you want the kids to have their own iCloud accounts so that they can FaceTime and Message you can do that as well. However you do not have to setup additional Apple ID's in order to do that, it just makes it a little easier,
Anyway, after you set up their iPad - when you go so to sync your devices, you can set your sync preferences for each device any way that you like. Using apps as an example ... This is how you can select the unique content for you own device. You can do this in every tab in iTunes .... Apps, music, photos, movies, books, etc.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps in the apps list that you want to sync to your iPad..
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
In the Info tab of iTunes, just don't sync your contacts or calendar to the kids iPad.
This will be helpful.

How can I set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files?

I want to set up multiple ipads with preloaded apps and files before handing them out to employees. We intendend the employee to be able to install their own content on the device using their own itunes account. When I attempted to connected to a pc using a personal account my the content obtained by the company account was prompted to be removed. Was this done incorrectly? Is there a way I can set up company ipads with preloaded apps and files so that they don't get removed when the user connects them to another computer with another itunes account?
Right now we are looking to have the employee use their own itunes account and reimburse the expense for the needed apps, but this could be an issue if they leave the company and the device is reassigned.

Yes this is possible. I've been using Apple Configurator to do this (you could also use iTunes to restore backups). The trick is, you need to tell the end user not to sync apps within his/her iTunes on his/her computer. You will need to instruct the end user to download apps OTA using the App Store on the iPad rather than with iTunes on his/her computer. If the user tries to sync apps on his/her computer, it will wipe out apps that you installed. However if the user downloads apps OTA, your apps and the user downloaded apps will both stay on the iPad.
When you hand the iPad to the user, be sure to log out of your company Apple ID on the iPad at Settings -> Store and have them sign in with their personal Apple ID. That way it is all set for them to download apps under their own Apple ID.

You would have to have one of the few HP printers that support Airprint:

I am not computer literate and I just got a ipad for my birthday. I can block out advertising and other spam type of emails on my computer but am at a loss on how to do that on the ipad (mini).

The filtering is done on the Mail server and not on the iPad.
