New iPad 4 setting up

I am an original iPad owner.
I am buying the new gen 4 for Chrissy.
The question is we own two computers.
can I set up the new iPad from a second computer.
All my iTunes library and back ups are on the first computer.?

No it doesnt. Even in iOS 6.0.1, you still cannot email to groups or create groups in the built in mail and contacts apps on the new iPad. It has nothing to do with what generation the device is, its the iOS that doesn't have the functionality.

Purchased a new ipad set up a password of 4 digits, screen has locked and now asking for a long password?! please help

why is my new ipad asking for a long password when I set up a 4 digit code??

You will most probably have to force your iPad into Recovery Mode to remove passcode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

Ipad 2, just purchased a new ipad.set it up with icloud but did not get my audio books where do i find them on my new ipad?

frustrated!!! purchased a new ipad todayand set it up with i cloud so i would have the same on my new ipad...in doing so, it did not recover my audio books only music...where did i go wrong or where do i find them?

Audiobooks are not part of icloud.
They will only be where you put them. They should be on your computer. Sync them to the new device.

New ipad set-up with erroneous email.

A new iPad was replaced by Apple for faulty one. The faulty one had been set up and used before the fault occured.
The iPad belonges to a friend who got their email address wrong when the replacement was being set up. They have also forgotten their original Apple password.
So we now have an ipad with an ID which using a different email and a password for that ID.
The original email acount is still working and it would make sense to change the iPad's ID to that email address.
How can that be done ?

Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

NEW IPAD Set Up

The New IPad I bought on Friday is my 1st Apple device (32gb - 3g (I am in uk!!!)). Why oh why is there no mention of I-Tunes on the single set up sheet? I switched on and it would not go past the country selection page. I had to resort to my old laptop to work out what to do. A software reset and it works - but what a palaver!

Apple said that to make things easier, they decided to incorporate the set up within the iPad itself without the use of a computer. For my iPad 3, I had no problems with it.

New iPad set up is saying "iPad . . .???

"iPad could not be activated because the activation server could not be reached"? What do I do to get it on? I plugged it into iTunes and still said error try again later_

Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account. This disconnects your device from icloud and also removes all data in that account from the device (it stays in the cloud). Then log in using your new account's ID.
Also, the storage problem may be that your ipad doesn't have enough storage, not icloud.
Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.

New iPad running really hot

After getting my new iPad set up the way I want it I noticed that it runs really hot; never experienced anything like this with iPad 2. Has anyone else had this problem? Its hot enough that I am concerned.

Robin-
I would be concerned. Some types of batteries have been recalled in the past because they start fires!
The most obvious problem is that a hot iPad suggests the battery will run down quickly. Do you have enough experience to determine how long a full charge will last? I would expect it to be similar to the iPads 1 & 2, which is about ten yours. Someone mentioned that their iPad charge went down ten percent per hour.
I suggest you show your iPad to an Apple Store Genius. If the Genius agrees, you may get a replacement iPad.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

Hi
New iPad set up and working fine for couple of weeks. However now problem with mail. Three hotmail/live accounts set up. Message is: cannot get mail. Connection to server has failed.

Tried deleting and resetting the acounts but still message blocking access.
Can access accounts on Internet via safari and via blackberry and laptop, but going on holiday taking iPad so would like this fixed.
Many thanks

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required). Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable. Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

I have set up my new iPad 2 on my windowsn 7 computer, but experienced syncing problems from the start. It seems that it doesn't recognize the iPad, although it appears in iTunes.It only gives set up as new or restore options.

I have set up my new iPad 2 on my computer (Windows 7), but experienced syncing problems from the start. It seems that although my iPad is regognized in iTunes as it appears there, it only gives met the options to set up as a new iPad or restore from the backup, no synching options. What do I do?

You should sync your ipod to your computer regularly.

I am setting up my new iPad mini and did not put in a password. The screen timed out and it's asking me for a pass code. I didn't set one up. Is there a standard passcode for new devices?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I am trying to set up my new iPad. it asks for a WiFi connection.. I have one..then the next page asks for these things:DHCP,BootP,Ststic then IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, Search Domain, Client ID then HTTP Proxy I have no idea what any of this means...can someone please help me???

Thank you sooo much. I was so disappointed...I couldn't wait to get started with the new iPad..then ran into the problem. So simple. You made my day. Thank you for your expertise!!

I need help. My three boys have brand new iPad mini's and I would like to set them up. I would like to create one new apple ID and have it shared by all three. This way they can share content (apps, music). How do I do that?

Looking for an information management solution. I have three boys that have brand new ipad mini's. I would like to set them up to manage information the easiest way.
My first thought was to use my apple ID for their apps and purchases. This would give me the advantage of seeing everything downloaded and be able to monitor this closely. The disadvantage to me, was that they would see all of my contracts, my apps, and my music.
My other thought was to create one new apple ID and to share that among the three boys. This way I would not have to worry about my information being on their ipads.
This is a very confusing situation for me. My goal is seperate my stuff from my kids stuff. Appreicate input from anyone who has in-depth experience with this as it applies to apple ID, icloud ID, and any detailed explaination of how to do this would be appreiciated. Thanks.

I think I will do this. I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently. That solves one problrem. My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share

2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share
--break--
So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
The MINI is for the wife.
But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

How can I set up a hot spot on my new iPad. I can't call 611 as suggested.

I would like to set up a hot spot with my new iPad but can't figure out how to do that. I cannot log on to the suggested web site and, of course, I can't dial 611 from my iPad.

Good pointer. It lead me to a phonenumber to call and a real person who said she could help set up my personal hot spot. After that things too a turn for the worse. She could not set up the hot spot without cancelling my grandfathered unlimited data plan. She said I had to cancel that and buy a $50/mo 5Gig plan. I told her that is not what the AT&T wireless iPad support web site said. She wouldn't budge and I wouldn't cave in and accept a new plan - so - I did not get a hot spot, but I get to keep my unlimited $30/mo data plan.
End of discussion for now. I'm going to try to find a basis for an appeal. Wish me luck. If I succeed, I'll post here. If not, thanks to the members of this support community for your assistance.
