IPad 2 starting for the first time without itunes ?

Hello everyone,
I just bought an iPad 2 for my brother in India. :-). A brand new iPad 2 in a white box from best buy. I have couple of questions and hope the forum members would help. Thank you.
1. As i unboxed , i pressed the Home button, and the iPad screen didn't show the connect to itunes logo,instead led me thru' a series of steps like registering for itunes/apple password and it just started on its own. It works fine though ,however i found this to be weird to start without connecting to itunes. Is this considered "normal" for recent iPad 2's to start without itunes ?.
2. What kind of travel adapter would you suggest for use in India /240V ?. I was suggested to purchase a world adapter kit from apple store for $39.00 ,but i would use only one adapter and the rest wouldn't be of any use ? Could you suggest an adapter to use in India ?

As of iOS 5, it is quite feasible to start up, configure and use an iPad without connecting to iTunes. My New IPad has NEVER been synched to a computer.

HT1689 Hi I just tried connecting my new iPad air for the first time to iTunes for backing it up as I already set it up as a new device without it being connected. iTunes keeps stating that my iPad cannot be connected as it has "timed out". Any suggestion

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

Can I sync my 'PC Free' activated iPhone with downloaded apps to iTunes for the first time without loosing data?

I have an iPhone 4 that has been activated over the air, "PC Free" and have used it for a month without ever connecting it to a computer. I have downloaded several apps, taken a few pictures, and even downloaded a few songs. Now I want to connect to my computer and sync and backup. Will I loose all my data?

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Sync my iphone calendar with MobileMe for the first time without deleting?

I never used iCal, I only us the calendar on my iphone to remember appointments. Now I just got MobileMe and I want my iphone calendar to sync with mobileme (obviously for the first time). But when I turn on MobileMe calendar sync on my iPhone, I get the message that if I save that setting, all my events will be deleted from my phone!
How can I start using MobileMe on my phone without losing all my events/appointments??
And what's the logic behind this behavior? I don't get it.

childlost,
This is the expected behavior. When MobileMe Push is enabled on the iPhone, it replaces the existing information with what it finds on me.com.
I'd recommend following this guide for the initial setup: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone/mac.html
Hope this helps,

I connected my iphone for the first time to itunes and lost everything. How can I recover my data?

I connected my iphone for the first time to my itunes. It didnt have any backup or anything saved on icloud. As soon as i plugged it in, on itunes it asked if I wanted to restore, or backup, my ipod to my iphone or something (I dont remember) and I clicked yes. I thought that it was syncing music, and apps that i had on my ipod but instead it made my iPhone 4s into a copy of my ipod touch from the last time i synced my ipod (august 2012) now i have lost all of my contacts, pictures, messages, calls, emails and everything else I had on my iphone... is there any way that I can recover anything and get it how it used to be before all of this happened? i did not save anything on the computer or on itunes backup...

Sorry saker, but if you have not backed up your data anywhere, and you told the computer, in essence to clear the data and restore it with your iPod data, then you are pretty much out of luck....
Cheers,

hi,all:
I come across a problem:The Hyperion Planning Application isn't configured into the workspace,but i have to create a Hyperion Planning Application for the first time.So, have any other methods to solve this problem? Can I use other tools or something to create it?
thanks very much

Hi,John,Thanks for your quick reply.
I think after install Hyperion Planning,at first time can't create application in this address:http://localhost:8300/HyperionPlanning/ ,usually create it in workspace.
Is the address you said different from http://localhost:8300/HyperionPlanning/?
thanksI gave you the address to create a planning application directly - http://localhost:8300/HyperionPlanning/AppWizard.jsp
Notice the AppWizard.jsp on the end.
If it version 11 you will be able to create your datasource from that location, if it is version 9 then you will have to create a datasource first from the configuration utility.
Cheers

How long do i have to charge my ipad air for the first time?

For how long do i have to charge my new i-pad air the first time after unpacking it??

Typically you shouldn't have to charge it. It should come with enough of a charge to use it right out of the box. But you will need to charge it when the battery gets low and you can do that at your convenience....and you can use the iPad while the battery is charging.

Making a flash movie delay before starting for the first time

Flash noob here. I've currently got a little bit of
actionscript in my flash movie which makes it loop a couple times,
and then pause, before looping over again, and then pausing again,
and wash-rinse-repeat, which is fine.
But now what I also need is to add a small bit of code
(preferably on the first frame) which allows me to set a delay
time, that the movie will just appear to be paused, but it should
ONLY do this the first time. Every other time, the movie should
loop like it does normally.
The reason is because I've got about 3 movies on my page,
when one stops moving, I want a 2nd one to start, then when that
one stops, the 3nd will start, and when the third one stops, the
1irst one will start again, etc. so I have to time it just
right.

If it might help, here's the code I have so far. The movie
has 17 frames. But that shouldn't matter, I was going to just go by
the loop count, and try to even them up that way.
frame 1
function pause(){
play();
clearInterval(timer);
loopCount=0;
frame 16
if (!loopCount) {
var loopCount:Number = 0;
loopCount++;
if (loopCount < 5) {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
this.gotoAndPlay(17);
frame 17
stop(); // 60000 = 1 minute
timer = setInterval(pause, 10000);

I Chat will not start for the first time on my Macbook Pro after Migration

Hi hope someone can help as this problem has stumped me. I cannot get ICHAT to even start having migrated all applications via Migration Assistant from a Macbook to a Macbook Pro. Everything else seems to work fine except when I run ICHAT and follow setup I get to a final screen which locks without showing a DONE button to complete the setup process! I have reloaded OS X, downloaded the OS X Combo OSand tried that, deleted the app and started again just in case but to no avail. Can anyone help? The application worked fine on the old Macbook but not on this machine.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Please tells us which version of iChat was moved to the new computer ?

HT4623 updating my iPad 2 (for the first time)

I am stuck at a screen that says "Connect to itunes" and I cannot go anywhere?
What do I do? If I hit back, it has me choose between 1) set up new iPad 2) Restore from iCloud backup or 3) Restore from iTunes Backup
It won't do anything on 2 or 3, and I am afraid I will lose everything I have aquired for the last year if I hit Set up as new iPad......
please help!

Setup as new if you do not have backup (data will be lost).
You should always backup before an update.

IPhone restored while attempting to update it for the first time through Itunes, is there anyway to get my apps, contacts, and photos back?

I purchased an IPhone back in April but have yet to ever update it using the itunes. Today I installed ITunes64 version 10.5.0.142 and connected my IPhone to my PC. After this I went to the IPhone and clicked the check for updates button. After updating my phone was restored and I had lost all of it's contacts, apps, photos, and everytihng. Is there anyway to recover my stuff?
Tom

In the process of updating the iphone,the update process performs a backup of your phone prior to updating the ios software. Connect your phone via usb,if itunes doesn't luanch,then luanch the app manually,on the left side pane of itunes the name of your phone will be listed under devices,right click on the name of your phone,and select restore from backup, then just follow the process. In the future it's very important to backup your iphone on a regular basis via icloud or itunes.Hope it all goes well for you
After rereading your oringinal post, I would first just resync it via itunes on your computer before I did a rstore from backup.

HT1338 I am a 20 year Mac user. I just downloaded a book for the first time using iTunes. When I go to "Books" in the left hand margin of iTunes and click on the new book I downloaded, nothing happens. It gets hi-lighted, but it doesn't open?

I am a 20 year Mac user. I downloaded a book from iTunes moments ago. in iTunes, under the left hand margin "Books" when I select the book and double click on it, it doesn't open. How do I read this book? It won't give me an option to open with other apps, but isn't there a built in app?

iBooks can not be read on macs, only on iDevices.
