I'm setting up a new iPad air and it won't take my Apple ID

I'm setting up a new iPad3 and I'm at the step where it asks for my Apple ID to finish setting up the iCloud. Any clues? I double checked and used the password in iTunes and it works....
Any help appreciate!

If it is asking for an APlle ID password for an ID you do not recognize then you have stumbled upon the Activation Lock feature of IOS7.

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

EASY SIMPLE FIX....
The problem is Google.
I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
FIX:
Logon to Google...
Go into your Google account preferenes
DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
(it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
Thats it. Your'e done.
Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
(and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
Hope this helps someone.

TS3988 I am in the midst of setting up my new iPad Air, and the process seems to be stuck on "Updating iCloud settings..." What is a reasonable amount of time for this step to take?

Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to a minute. If it's stuck, you might want to give Apple support a call to see if they are experiencing unreported server issues. Since your device is new, you are within the 90-day free call support period. You can set up the call here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/. You will need your serial number, which is on the box and (I believe) the back of your iPad.

I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID

I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID. I just created it and everytime I enter it in the setup screen it says Can't Create Apple ID: Account Limit Reached.

It sounds like you have too many devices associated with that Apple ID.
Sign on to iTunes on your computer. Go to Store > View Account from iTunes' menu. Sign in and click "Manage Devices". Remove some.

I just got a new iPad air and started the set-up process. Now, when I try to swipe the power down or power up icons, nothing happens. What do you suggest?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Backup your old iPad and then setup your new iPad using that backup. Then delete what you don't want from the new iPad.

I just got a new iPad air and also own an iPhone 5. I'm receiving most of my text messages on the iPhone, but some but not all are also showing up on my iPad. I don't want them on my iPad, any suggestions on how to get them to stop showing up n my iPad?

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?

There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc.

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

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.

I just bought a new iPad air and have not been able to download kindle app to read my books. When I type kindle on my iPad app page, kindle app does not appear. What do I do to get this app into my iPad air?

Hi norlowski,
Do you already have the Kindle app downloaded to an iPhone or another iPad? Do you have "Automatic Downloads" turned on under Settings>iTunes & App Store for Apps on your iPad?
You might want to try touching and holding the Kindle App option in your Purchased list, and when it highlights, let go, and it will go to a a detail page for the app with another "Open" option on it. See if it will open from there.
If you do have Automatic Downloads turned on on the iPad, turn it off, and then go back to purchased to see if the Kindle is still showing as "Open".
Post back with results!
Cheers,
GB
