I just bought an ipad cant get it to do anything

I just bought an ipad and cant get it to start up. It is connected to my laptop.

Is it fully charged? What version of iTunes do you have on your laptop? At this stage, it would be best to update your iTunes, even if you have it, to version 10.5.
Open iTunes and the iPad should appear on the left sidebar under Devices.

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it I plugged in to charge and tryed to turn on and all it shows is the Itunes icon a picture of the cord. What does this mean? Cant get it to do anything else

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it. I have been charging it for about 2 hours and when I try to turn it on it shows the Itune icon and the plug thats it wont do anything else. Any suggestions on what to do?

iPads are devices and not PCs, so it needs a functioning relationship with a PC to work.
Download iTunes onto your PC, then connect your iPad to that PC. That should get you started.

I have just bought a ipad and cant get the email link to work that verifies my email address, any idea?

I have just bought a ipad and the link that has been sent to my email acount will not work when i try to verify the email address, i have been sent the link 3 times by apple and none of them work. any Ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake (top right edge) buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

HT201209 i just bought an ipad and while creating my apple id i am asked to input itunes gift code........ where do i get that from

i just bought an ipad and while attempting to use my apple id in itunes i am asked for an itunes gift code which i have no knowledge of how i can get that code............... please someone help me out

The gift code field is an optional field, it's an alternative to credit cards for paying for content from iTunes. Gift cards are not available in all countries (so you may not be able to fill it in anyway), and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue) - if you are in a country where they are available then you might be able to buy them from Apple stores, supermarkets, electrical stores etc.

I have just bought the iPad Air but when I try accessing my fotos from my iCloud account, I only get this years fotos whereas in my old iPad I can access the last three years of fotos. I've tried syncing to the computer but it didn't help

I have just bought the iPad Air but cannot access the roots I have on my iCloud account. They do appear on my old ipad 2, any ideas how I can access them please

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.

hi, i just bought an ipad.my problems is the privious owner dont reset the apple id.i just reset the ipad.now i cant active the ipad with my apple id.what can i do?

You will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account, he/she is the only person that can do it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - you won't be able to use the iPad until they do so.

I just bought my IPAD 3 will not activate says activation server cannot be reach. How to fix this and should I take it back and get a different one.

I have never had anything apple before and I just bought this IPAD 3rd gen. I begin doing the process of starting it up. I get to activation and it wont go any further. I have tried numerous times. Says "Your IPad cannot be activated because the activation server cannot be reachrf. Try connecting you iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." I am lost. Not a tech guru... Any help is wonderful. And is this a good model?
Thanks. Crystal

Nevermind. All i had to do was close out of itunes and reopen it and then it activated it. If anyone else is having this problem, try that trick and i hope it helps

Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi. Any ideas?

Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi trying to do initial set up.
My wifi is working as my macbook runs off it..any ideas?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
4. Have you updated router firmware?

The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes. Getting started guide : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4053
The iPad manual also has a chapter on getting started - it can be downloaded from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad
