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

    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • I have a question. For the past week I have not been able to access my iTunes app it always kicks me out. I've turned it off and on and still nothing. I was wondering how can I get it to work or what should I do. Thank you

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands.  I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
    You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • I inadvertedly changed a setting where the top of my screen no longer shows the apple logo in the top left or the clock and wifi status and strength on the top of the screen, how can I get it to show both of these things again like it used to?

    I inadvertedly must have changed a setting where the apple logo and files and things that used to be in the top left corner of the screen are no longer there as the clock and wifi status and other installed settings used to show up in the top right hand corner of my screen.  When I move my mouse to the very top of the screen they drop down but when I move my arrow away from the very top of the screen they both disappear again.  So I was wondering how can I get it to revert back to the way it used to be?  I hope this isnt confusing.

    I tried the zoom thing but it still didnt resolve my issue   Im gonna try to clarify my issue a little bit more, before the change, my screen when I would surf the web would have the apple logo and safari and file and edit and view buttons at the top left hand of the screen and the upper right hand screen would have the time and the wifi strength and my name and the spotlight box and a volume control but now they dont show while Im browsing the web unless I take my arrow and move it to the very top of the screen then those boxes will drop down like it used to be but when I take my arrow and move it from the top of the screen it disappears again and ll I get is a back and forward arrow and the url input bar.  Anyone else have any ideas of what I did to mess this up?

  • I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch and I just destroyed the screen.  Can anyone tell me the keystrokes to turn on the external display as primary?

    I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro with a destroyed screen.  (My son put it on the top of his car and drove off and it fell off.)  Can anyone tell me the keystrokes to make an external monitor the primary monitor?  I can see only the upper left side of the laptop screen so I CAN select system preferences.  I can then arrow over to system preferences and down to make selections I cannot see.  I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary when all I can do is make keystrokes on items I cannot see.  It's an older (about 2008) MacBook Pro and I would like to use the external monitor to see to connect an external hard drive and download files to install on a new MacBook.  My son might know the iOS but I don't.

    • I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary
    This is the left side of System Preferences in OS 10.8.3. (if that is not what the MBP is running post back). By the way, if you can grab the top of that pane you could move it over to the top far left. - Same for any pane.
    Do this with the external monitor connected and powered on.
    You need to click on Displays., and then grope for Arrangement and click there.
    When you get there, the two screens are shown.
    The trick is to grab the white stripe (on the left in this image) and move it to the other rectangle. You do not have to position it exactly, it snaps into place when it gets close.

  • Some apps moved to settings; how can I get them to home page

    I thought my problems were solved, but now I have a new one.  Some of my apps disappeared.  I found them in settings.  How can I get them back to my
    homepages and how did this happen?

    Thanks....yes, I realized this after Carolyn explained how apps work.  I am not new to computers or to macs, but I AM new to apps, and I'm struggling with learning how they work.  I had noticed that they were no longer on my homepage, and then, in searching around for them, I saw them in settings. Then the question was: how the heck do I get them where I want them?  Didn't even think about them being in iTunes!  I love knowing I can shuffle the apps around there instead of trying to slide them from one home page to another (not easy in my view!).
    I have to say that without this discussion board, I would never have figured out this iPad.  15 years ago I bought my first computer and learned the whole thing on my own without any tutoring, but this iPad is totally confusing.  I am just now beginning to see how it works and am actually just now beginning to do a little troubleshooting without help. But, it's been a long, hard road! 

  • My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

    I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
    Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

  • I am in process of unlocking my iphone and need to restore my phone backed it up already but ituenes will not let me restore keeps telling me ituenes can not get on the internet no connection with is not true cause otherwise you would not have gotten this

    I have contacted at&t and they did what was nessary to unlock my phone was told to backup my phone and did that so know I just need to restore my phone with ituens which ituenes will not let me do cause I get message can not connect to cause of no internet connection wich is not true cause other wise you would not have gotten this

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • Can i get a custom home page URL with APEX ?

    My name is Srinivas and i
    work for a top telecom company in North Carolina and i am a Oracle DBA
    here.
    We want to move away from spreadsheets about our typical DBA
    information and statistics and reports and move to Oracle APEX (formerly HTML
    DB). I was wondering whether i should use the public domain
    apex.oracle.com or create something running with an internal Oracle 10g ?
    If i use the public one apex.oracle.com for developing the application,
    can i get my own URL ? like http://telecom_company_dba.oracle.com or
    do we have to live with the http://apex.oracle.com URL ? We want to help
    our management with this APEX application and we would like to have a
    good meaningful URL for the APEX application
    If we maintain our own internal APEX application created by our own
    database 10g, then we could have our own domain name i guess. Correct ? or
    is it possible even i use the public apex.oracle.com ?
    waiting for your reply :)
    -thx

    Hi,
    The public apex.oracle.com site is not intended for production applications, if you don't want to run your own server there are a number of commercial hosting providers who specialise in providing hosting for APEX.
    There is a list of the providers (of which I'm one) here -
    http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/HostingExamples
    Regarding the 'nice' URL, yes that's certainly possible.

  • My  ipad is connected to the wi-fi but still wont open any web pages. what should I do?

    I need help with using the internet. my ipad is connected to the wi-fi but there's still a problem opening the web page.

    Reboot your router by powering it down for 30 seconds. Power off your iPad.
    Power up your router and make sure it completes its startup and acquires a good connection to the Internet. Then power up your iPad. Go to settings > Wi-Fi then select your Wi-Fi network and tap on Forget this Network. Then let the iPad try to connect again. Be sure any required password is entered correctly.
