Just got an iPad 3, now trying to setup
I've managed to get onto my home LAN, but I'm stuck partway through the setup. I'm on a page where the numerical URL's are listed: IP address,Subne tMask, Router, & DNS. From there, I can't go on. It seems that I'm being asked for Search Domains, Client ID, and "Renew Lease". There's also "HTTP Proxy", which is Off. I don't know whether there will be further stumbling blocks, because I can't go beyond the present one. If anyone can help me go further I' appreciate it.

It shouldn't be any more difficult that providing your wireless network password. Since it seems to be difficult though, why not avail yourself of Apple's complimentary telephone support? It's free for the first 90 days. Contact Apple using the Contact Us link below right.

How can I get my new iPad updated with my most recent iCloud backup?
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
I just got an iPad, and am trying to figure out how to get it going. I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T. Do I need to set up a separate account for the iPad, or can I use it under my existing data plan?
You need a completely different data plan for your iPad which you set up on the device itself and it is billed to a credit/debit card. You cannot share other plans and the iPad account will not appear on your iPhone or any other AT&T account.

i have just got an ipad mini 2 and i am trying to back it up however it gets to step 4 then keeps saying syncing ipad but now wont change, what shall i do?
Hi Gavinchick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.

Just got an ipad. I went to join my wifi network at home. I tried a few times with a password that I thought was correct but it didn't work. When I went to try another password it would no longer give me the "join" option. The "join" option will no longer illuminate.
Thanks! Actually, by trying another wifi site we have here at home, I was able to give it another try. For us though, it seems we have an internet problem unrelated to the ipad. We'll have to figure that out.

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?
Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old. Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID for her to avoid this?
It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs. -
I tried updating to iOS 8.1 but it have the apple symbol and a blue screen pops up and it restarts the process and its been going on about 3 weeks already. I dont know what to do? Is my iPad broke cause I just got that iPad in August.
Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

a little help please........I just got my ipad and have synced it to my friends computer and now can't sync it to my own home computer........any suggestions?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it. -
I just got an IPAD mini as a gift, set it up and now it's disabled. I can't do anything. Thanks.
You should be able to reset it using the instructions on the page that you posted. If when you connect it to your computer's iTunes you get a prompt to enter the passcode, then use the instructions in the second half of that page, under the 'If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer' heading

why is the ipad mini screen so delicate I just got my ipad mini yesterday and it fell of a stand I bought and now the screen is cracked
My Ipad 3 is the same, it must be a design fault cuz I dropped a pound coin on my ipad screen and it shattered and every other week there's a new dent or scratch, though I wouldn't say I'm overly rough with it. I use it a lot, like most do, so accidents will happen and Apple hav to allow for that. I deffently wouldn't say that they are worth the money for the amount of trouble they cause, they r great devices, just far too delicate and expensive!

I just got an ipad and took video of my daughter playing volleyball. Now I can't download it onto my computer. I have a Dell. Please help!
the DCIM folder is just a folder called DCIM . Just like a camera would create, so does the iPad. Both your videos and your photos are located inside that folder.
In Windows Explorer: Computer\iPad's Name\Internal Storage\DCIM
Instead of Rick's iPhone it will have your iPad's name. whatever it may be.
