I just got an iPad 4, what is the first thing I should do?

I just recently purchased an iPad 4, what exactly should I do now?
Should I sync it to my iTunes on my computer? If so, how? (I'd like to keep my iTunes library OFF of my iPad - since I own an iPod)
Any ideas on what essential free apps I should start to download right now right off the bat (skype, cnn, angry birds space, instagram, facebook etc.)?

I just purchased creative cloud. What is the first step I should be taking?

I just purchased creative cloud. What is the first step I should be taking?
I'm unable to download the applications and I'm not sure why. I thought it had something to do with me having the trial prior so I went ahead and deleted it. And I still cannot download the applications. Am I missing a specific step in all of this? I was under the assumption that when I purchased creative cloud, it would be some sort of prompt to install the program (the way adobe normally works) then I would be able to install the applications separately.

Hi Poe7,
Welcome to the Community & thanks for being the Creative cloud member!
The first thing is to download Creative cloud desktop app which will help you to download all the apps available, go to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and download it.
Once downloaded, launch it and select any product to start downloading/installing within the app.
Thanks!

Windows users iMac is coming, whats the first thing I should do

I just got a shipping notification that my iMac will be here in 4 days.
I'm a Windows user, never had a mac. What are the first things I should do when I add the iMac to my network and turn it on?

Hi, unpack it carefully, open the bottom of the box and slide the box off the mac. Set up exactly according to the instructions. Before connecting to your network I would run it for a few days and ensure it's ok. I would not install any 3rd party Apps until you are sure that the mac is 100%. Did you purchase Applecare?
Are you intending to use ethernet or wireless? This book may be helpful, my daughter & I learnt a lot from the advice & info -> Teach Yourself Visually. OSX published by Visual...Happy Mac'ing...Don't forget the forum is here to help..L

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

Just got an iPad mini and now the screen suddenly stopped working. What to do?

Got my iPad mini as a gift last week and last night the screen suddenly stopped responding [while in use]... until now. Read and tried the troubleshooting tips here and other sources (resetting, cleaning the screen, restoring from back up, etc) but nothing seemed to work. It's currently running on iOS 6.1.3 syncs with iTunes and doesn't seem to have any problem as viewed on iTunes, wasn't dropped, abused or anything. Using warranty and having it replaced will be my last resort since I'm kinda embarrassed telling the person who gave it to me that it's broken or damaged.
Please do help. Huge thanks!

Just got an iPad, really disappointed in the quality of the camera pictures. Is there something you can do to improve the pic quality?

Just got iPad 2, really disappointed in pic quality of camera. Can anything be done to improve? How many megapixels is it?

The iPad cameras are designed primarily for use with FaceTime. Increasing the amount of ambient lighting will improve the quality of still but they will still never match those taken with a "real" camera.

I just got my iPad with ios5 and the photo resolution is not good, is there a solution?

I got my iPad 2 days ago and the resolution on both front and back camera is extremely low, when taking pics the pixels don't look neat at all, everything looks Iike it was taken from a cell phone with horrible camera resolution.

The resolution of the cameras on the iPad is very low (I can't remember the exact values but they are both something like 1 meg), and unless you are in very good light you are unlikely to get acceptable photos from it. The cameras are mainly aimed at video calls e.g. FaceTime and Skype. If you want to take photos then you are probably better off with a compact camera, or even just your phone.

I just got a macbook air what is the best antivirus or security

Hi i just got a macbbok air and would like to know the best antivirus or security download to use?

Firstly, you really don't need it. That said see Viruses, Trojans, Malware - and other aspects of Internet Security. Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on malware and anti-virus software.
For actual anti-virus software use ClamXav 2.2.2

I recieved an email(gmail) with a jpeg attachement, i can view it but how do I save it to add to a presentation...I just got an ipad 1 and its my first MAC experience s i have a big learning curve. Thanks

help please

This is off the top of my head, but here goes.
I'm assuming you have Keynote on the iPad.
1- in Mail, press and hold on the image. You should see a pop up that'll say something along the lines of "Save Image". Press Save Image
2- As a sanity check, open the Photos app and look under the album/event "camera roll" or 'saved photos' Make sure said photo is there.
3-In Keynote with a preso open, press the little Picture icon in the upper right. From there, choose "media" choose the 'saved photos' or camera roll' album and then the image.

What's the first thing you do with a new computer?

I'm getting a new MBP in a couple of weeks. I've been in the Mac family since my first Performa years and years ago. In the past, I've just opened up the box and started. This time I want to take a different approach and I'm wondering what sort of things you do to/with your computers when they are new and before you start loading them up with "all your stuff." Example: I've thought of using "Color Label" to code everything that originally comes with the computer in one color. Maybe what you do isn't "serious" but it's just about personalizing your Mac.
This will be the first computer I won't have to share with anyone else in the family! It will be mine, all mine. Mine, mine, mine!
Chip

First off, connect to AC and charge the battery fully. Within the first couple of days, calibrate the battery using these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
Otherwise, you really can just open the box and start.
Personally, though, I usually reinstall the OS from the Install DVDs that come with the MBP. I do an Erase & Install and I customize the installation to save space (for example, I don't use GarageBand so I omit that, along with limiting the language(s) and selecting only the printer driver families I'll need. Doing that saved me ~4 GB with Leopard (even large HDDs fill up eventually...).

Let's see if we can get you enjoying that new tablet fast, Mandilynna8008. What happens when you insert the SIM and try to activate the device?
