Trying to set up messaging on my new iPad

and I sign in with Apple ID/password and get a message that it can't connect to check network settings, however the nework is fine, I can download aps, get on Safari etc. Any suggestions?

Hmm this may be difficult one but I would reset network setting and possibly power cycle the router. Maybe a firewall setting that is blocking it as well.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

After I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

HT1535 I am trying to manually manage apps on my new iPad.

I am trying to manually manage apps on my new iPad 3. My daughter has over 500 apps on her iPad. We share an iTunes login id. Her apps are getting loaded on my iPad and are in "waiting" status. I deleted them numerous times, but they appear as "installing" in purchases in app store.
I want to be able to download a very small subset of the apps from my daughters iPad to mine, but many are stuck in the "installing" state. I now have iTunes on my desktop set to manually manage my apps (sync apps is unchecked) but when I first plugged my iPad into the desktop via USB, I think iTunes automatically synced al of my daughter's apps to my iPad.
I know how to download the apps I want from the cloud via Purchases in app store, but how can I get the apps out of "installing" state??

If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I'm trying to update to IOS6 on my New Ipad through software update under settings, over Wi-Fi ....It keeps telling me that IOS is still up to date.....? Any advice?

I'm trying to update to IOS6 on my New Ipad through software update under settings, over Wi-Fi ....It keeps telling me that IOS is still up to date.....? Any advice?

Maybe you have a beta version of iOS6 in your Ipad. if is this, you have to put the ipad in recovery mode in itunes and then the update will start.
To put the ipad in recovery mode, you have to turn of the ipad. In your pc/mac Itunes has to be running, and plug the cord, but when you do that you have to press the home button until a message shows up in itunes!!

How do I set up iCloud on my New iPad without switching my iMac mobile me account to iCloud?

When I attempt to set up iCloud on my new iPad it asks me to switch my mobile me account to iCloud, but I can't - my iMac is dead (one of the reasons I bought the iPad!!).

If you also want seperate Contacts and some other things:
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

TS1398 I can't set up wifi on my new ipad.

I can't set up wifi on my new ipad. It won't connect to the network. Wifi is working on other devices in the house.

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

Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.
