Setting up new IPAD Air.

I have had a new IPAD Air bought as a gift. I have tried to set it up using the Apple ID that I have on my laptop which I have used for Itunes, (with an old IPOD)
I have put the Apple ID into the ipad Air but I just keep getting an error message up saying th ID is incorrect. So its Christmas day and I haven't even got it set up!
I don't want to use a different Apple ID because I don't think I will be able to access my itunes on my new IPAD?
I am a bit 'technically challenged' but I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with this.
Many Thanks and Merry Christmas x

Well thankyou very much guys!
It does my heart good that two people took the trouble to relpy to a silly old woman on Christmas day. Its very, very kind of you.
My Son helped me get it sorted yesterday. We had to change the Apple ID (twice) and eventually the Ipad recognised the ID. So... Ipad up and running and very nice it is too!
I have spent most of today trying to get my kindle in sync with my ipad! Phew, no mean feat I'll tell you. But I've done it!
So Thankyou again, I really appreciate your kindness and ....I may be back, theres a lot to learn
Heres wishing you All the Best for the New year. x

How set up new ipad air with mail messages from old ipad 2?

How do I move mail from wife's old ipad 2 to her new ipad air 2? After that I will clean off the old ipad and use it myself.

Before erasing the old iPad 2 make a backup in iTunes or back it up to iCloud. Then when you setup the new iPad you will be given the option to restore from a backup.

tried defining the iPad as new - the same problem. started it in recovery mode - the same

The definition of insanity.....
Does it ask for the old device by name? How do you know it isn't restored? Have you completed setup and checked on the device?
Are you using the same iTunes account and Apple ID?
On your iTunes account, Open preferences, go to devices tab
Look in the box for a backup of your old device. Is there a backup?
If there is no backup, you have nothing to restore.

My new iPad air is suddenly asking for a pass code. I have only just finished restoring it from my iPad 2 and I didn't set one. The one I used before doesn't work. What can I do?

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.

Why am I unable to join my wi-fi network with new iPad air using correct password?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Trying to set up supanet emails on a new iPad air.... Anyone help...?

CCan u help with setting up in and outgoing settings for supanet emails on new iPad air. Pop dosnt seem to work

Hello Megandog,
If you are still not able to send mail from your POP account, I would recommend these steps from the following article to help you out there, named:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
The Mail Settings lookup may contain outdated information for your provider, or if it doesn't you will need to reach out to the email provider to get the appropriate settings for it with this from the same article:
Check with your email provider for specific settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

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?

I just got a new iPad air and started going through the set-up process. Now, I can't swipe to power down or power up. Advice?

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.

Just got a new ipad air and followed set up. have got a load of somebody elses photos! How do i delete these?

Just got a new ipad air. Followed set up instructions, but have a lot of somebody elses photos. How do I delete them please?

If its a NEW iPad, there should be nothing on it.
If you have photos from someone else, then its either a second hand iPad or possibly a Demo unit.
In which case you should return it as you may run into activation lock on a used iPad, or restrictions placed on Demo units you may not be able to bypass.
Whoever sold you this, did not sell you a new iPad.

I have a new ipad air and i don't want everything from old pad just some do i set up as new?

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 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 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.
