What should I do when setting up my new iPad?

I am getting a New iPad on Sunday! Really excited! But since this will be my first iPad, I am a little confused on the set up when you first take it out of the box. Should I turn on Location Services? And what other options would I have that I should choose? Should I drain the battery all the way first then charge it over night? And when I plug it in to my computer do put it in as a new device? Or what? I want to be prepared when I get my New "Shiny"!!! Haha.

What info do I need to enter to access my home wireless router when setting up my new IPad?

While setting up my new IPad I keep having trouble connecting to my home wireless router. It keeps telling me to pick a wi-fi network from the list it gives me of ones that are available. I choose my home wi-fi network that is password protected and it places a check mark next to the name. From that point it does nothing. It says "connecting to network" and the circle icon appears and seems to be searching for the connection but nothing ever happens. The lock symbol remains next to my wireless network name and I can't seem to continue with my IPad set-up. My router (Belkin) has a card where I recorded the information from its set-up and it has a SSID, a password and a network name. These description don't seem to correspond with the descriptions that my IPad is asking me for and I haven't been able to go further. PLEASE HELP!!

Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

My wife has gave me her old ipad what would be the best way to set up her new ipad and to have my own ID?

Backup the old iPad first, either to itunes or iCloud.
Once that is done, setup the new iPad from the backup. Choose the Restore from Backup option when setting up the new iPad.
iOS: How to back up / Restore

When that is done, wipe the old iPad clean and set up as new.
Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings
You can create a new Apple Id when you set up the iPad again.

If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

What should I do when I see this error message: iPhone cannot be synced required disk cannot be found?

What should I do when I try to sync my iPhone 4s with a MacBook and get the error message: "iPhone cannot be synced...required disk cannot be found?"

Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
if that doesn't work,
uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
With 10.8 or 10.9 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
of actions, choose Terminal. When Terminal opens type:
resetpassword
and press enter.
You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case. Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box. Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset. Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

When the tech set up my new iPad last week, I can get email on IT, but now I can't get email on my Mac laptop. What's wrong? Tish

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.
