Chapter 1

Getting Started with Your iPad

The iPad is a powerful and extremely popular touch-screen tablet computer created by Apple Inc. You can use the iPad either as a full-powered computing device on its own or as a companion device to your Mac or PC. In this chapter, you set up your iPad, sync data to it, and learn to use the user interface.

Take a Look at the iPad and iPad mini

Apple’s iPad is the most popular tablet computer on the market. Powerful, elegantly designed, and easy to use, the iPad can take over many of the tasks you normally perform on your desktop or laptop computer, such as surfing the web, exchanging e-mail messages, desktop publishing, and playing video games.

The iPad mini is a smaller iPad that packs almost all of the iPad’s features into a smaller form factor.

The Difference Between iPad and iPad mini

The iPad has a 9.7-inch screen with 2048-×1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch, or ppi. The iPad mini has a 7.9-inch screen with 1024-×768-pixel resolution at 163 ppi.

Although the difference in diagonal measurements is less than 2 inches, the iPad mini’s screen is only just over half the size of the iPad’s screen, making the iPad mini much smaller and more easily portable.

The iPad measures 9.5 inches tall × 7.31 inches wide, whereas the iPad mini is 7.78 inches tall × 5.3 inches across.

The iPad weighs around one and one-third pounds. The iPad mini weighs less than three-quarters of a pound.

iPad Storage Capacity

Both the iPad and the iPad mini come in three capacities: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Having more storage enables you to install more apps and carry more music, movies, and other files with you. The nearby diagram shows sample amounts of contents.

As usual, higher capacities command higher prices, so you must decide how much you are prepared to spend. Generally speaking, higher-capacity devices get more use in the long run.

Wi-Fi Only or Cellular and Wi-Fi

Both the iPad and the iPad mini come in Wi-Fi–only and cellular-and–Wi-Fi models.

With a Wi-Fi–only iPad, you can connect to the Internet only through wireless networks, such as those at your home or workplace or wireless hotspots open to the public.

With a cellular-and–Wi-Fi iPad, you can connect both through the cellular network and through wireless networks, giving you Internet access no matter where you go. This option costs more both in the iPad’s price and in paying cellular services fees on either a monthly plan or a pay-as-you-go plan.

Touch Screen

Each iPad model has a touch screen that takes up most of the space on the front of the tablet. You use the touch screen to access everything on the iPad with your fingers and to view content. The iPad’s software uses gestures to scroll, rotate, and zoom in on objects on-screen.

Cameras

Each iPad has a camera on the front — the screen side — and another on the back.

The front camera is for FaceTime video calling and self-portraits, and can capture 1.2-megapixel photos and high-definition video at the 720p standard. 720p means 720 vertical lines using progressive scan, which gives a good-quality video picture.

The back camera is for taking photos and videos of other subjects, much as you would use a stand-alone digital camera. The back camera can capture 5-megapixel photos and high-definition video at the 1080p standard.

Unbox Your iPad and Charge It

Once you have your iPad, your first move is to unbox it, identify the components, and set the iPad to charge.

To get the best battery life out of your iPad, you should first fully charge the battery, even if it came partly charged. So no matter how eager you are to set up your iPad, sync it with iTunes or iCloud, and start using it, take a few hours to charge it fully.

Unbox Your iPad and Charge It

Open the iPad’s box and remove its contents.

Make sure you have the iPad itself and the following components:

A The power adapter.

B The USB-to-Lightning cable.

Peel the protective film off the front and back of the iPad.

Connect the USB end of the USB cable to the power adapter.

Plug the power adapter into a power socket.

Connect the Lightning end of the USB cable to the iPad.

Note: The Lightning connector is reversible, so it does not matter which way you plug in the connector.

A Charging readout appears on-screen.

Leave the iPad to charge until the battery readout shows that the battery is fully charged.

TIP

Can I charge the iPad from my computer’s USB port instead of using the power adapter?

Yes, you can. Charging from the USB port offers the convenience of charging the iPad at the same time as syncing data with it. You must make sure that the USB port provides enough power to the iPad; some USB ports on keyboards, other external devices, and even some older computers do not provide enough.

For the first charge, using the power adapter is better than charging from a USB port. This is because the power adapter delivers a more consistent power feed, which charges the iPad as fast as possible.

Turn On Your iPad and Meet the Hardware Controls

After charging your iPad, turn it on and meet its hardware controls. For essential actions, such as turning on and controlling volume, the iPad has a Sleep/Wake button, a Volume Up button and a Volume Down button, and a Side Switch, together with the Home button below the screen.

If your iPad has cellular connectivity, it needs a SIM card. If the store or carrier that sold you the iPad has not inserted a suitable SIM card, you will need to insert one yourself before you can connect to the cellular network.

Turn On Your iPad and Meet the Hardware Controls

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of the iPad for a couple of seconds.

The top of the iPad also contains:

A The microphone.

B The headphone socket.

As the iPad starts, the Apple logo appears on the screen.

C Above the iPad’s screen is the front-facing camera.

D Below the iPad’s screen is the Home button, which you press to display the Home screen.

At the bottom of the iPad are:

E The Lightning Connector.

F The speaker or speakers.

Note: The iPad has one speaker at the bottom. The iPad mini has two speakers.

Turn the iPad so that you can see its right side.

Move the Side Switch down, so that an orange dot appears when you want to mute the iPad’s notifications, alerts, and sound effects.

Note: You can configure the Side Switch to lock the screen rotation. To do so, choose Settings, General, Side Switch, and then Lock Rotation.

Press the Volume Up (+) button to increase the sound volume.

Note: When the Camera app is active, you can press the Volume Up (+) button to take a picture with the camera.

Press the Volume Down (–) button to decrease the volume.

When the lock screen appears, tap the slide to unlock slider, and then drag your finger to the right.

The iPad unlocks, and the Home screen appears.

TIP

How do I insert a SIM card in my iPad?

If you have a cellular iPad that does not yet contain a SIM card, get a suitable micro-SIM for the regular iPad or nano-SIM for the iPad mini. Then insert the SIM removal tool (A) in the SIM hole (B) at the top of the left side of the iPad. Push gently straight in until the tray (C) pops out, and then pull it with your fingernails. Insert the SIM in the tray (D), and then push the tray in fully.

Download, Install, and Set Up iTunes

To sync your iPad with your computer, you use Apple’s iTunes application. iTunes comes preinstalled on every Mac but not on PCs; to get iTunes for Windows, you download it from the Apple website and then install it on your PC.

If you do not have a computer, or you do not want to sync your iPad with your computer, you can set up and sync your iPad using Apple’s iCloud service, as described later in this chapter.

Download, Install, and Set Up iTunes

On your PC, open the web browser, Internet Explorer in this example.

Click the Address box, type www.apple.com/itunes/download, and then press .

The Download iTunes Now web page appears.

Click the check boxes ( changes to ) unless you want to receive e-mail from Apple.

Click Download Now.

The File Download – Security Warning dialog box opens.

Click Save.

The Save As dialog box appears.

Select the download location — for example, your Downloads folder — and then click Save.

The download starts.

In the Download Complete dialog box, click Run.

The iTunes Installer opens.

Click Next, and then follow the steps of the installer.

Note: You must accept the license agreement in order to install iTunes. In the Installation Options dialog box, click the Add iTunes and QuickTime shortcuts to my desktop check box ( changes to ) unless you need these shortcuts.

When the installation finishes, the installer displays the Congratulations dialog box.

Click Finish.

The installer closes.

If the installer prompts you to restart your PC, restart it as soon as is convenient.

TIP

How do I set up iTunes on a Mac?

If you have not run iTunes already, click the iTunes icon () that appears on the Dock by default. If the Dock contains no iTunes icon, click Launchpad () on the Dock, and then click iTunes () on the Launchpad screen. The iTunes Setup Assistant launches. Follow the steps to set up iTunes.

Set Up Your iPad Using iTunes

Before you can use your iPad, you must set it up. You can set up the iPad through iTunes, as described in this task, or by using iCloud, as explained later in this chapter.

During setup, you choose which items to sync automatically with the iPad. You can choose other sync options as described in the next task.

Set Up Your iPad Using iTunes

Turn on the iPad by pressing and holding the power switch for a couple of seconds until the Apple logo appears.

When the initial iPad screen appears, tap the slider and drag it to the right.

The iPad unlocks and begins the setup routine.

If the Language screen shows the language you want to use, tap . Otherwise, tap Show More, tap the language on the screen that appears, and then tap .

The Wi-Fi screen appears.

Tap Connect to iTunes.

Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB-to-Lightning cable.

The iTunes window appears.

On the Set Up Your iPad screen, change the name as needed.

Click Automatically sync songs and videos to my iPad ( changes to ) to sync songs and videos.

Note: To control which items you sync, click this check box ( changes to ) and see the next task.

Click Automatically add photos to my iPad ( changes to ) if you want to sync photos to your iPad.

Click Automatically sync apps to my iPad ( changes to ) to sync new apps automatically. Syncing apps automatically is usually helpful.

Click Done.

iTunes syncs your iPad.

TIP

What should I do if iTunes does not open when I connect my iPad?

If iTunes does not open automatically, launch iTunes manually. In OS X, click iTunes () on the Dock or in the Applications folder. In Windows, click Start and then iTunes.

Choose Which Items to Sync

After setting up your iPad, you can choose which items to sync to it. You can sync a wide range of items, ranging from your contacts, calendars, and e-mail accounts to your music, movies, books, and photos.

This task shows you how to choose exactly which items to sync. This task shows OS X screens; the Windows screens are similar, but some items have different names.

Choose Which Items to Sync

Connect Your iPad and Access the Control Screens

Connect your iPad to your computer.

The iTunes window appears.

Click your iPad.

Note: Your iPad appears in iTunes with the name you gave it.

The iPad’s control screens appear.

Choose Which Contacts to Sync

Click Info.

The Info screen appears.

Click Sync Contacts ( changes to ).

Note: In Windows, click Sync contacts with ( changes to ). Then select the program that contains the contacts — for example, Outlook.

To sync only some contacts, click Selected groups ( changes to ).

Click the check box for each contacts group you want to sync ( changes to ).

Click Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPad to ( changes to ).

Click and then click the contacts group to which you want to add contacts created outside groups on your iPad.

If you need to sync Yahoo! contacts, click Sync Yahoo! Address Book contacts ( changes to ).

The Google Contacts dialog opens.

Type your Google ID.

Type your password.

Click OK.

The Google Contacts dialog closes.

TIP

What happens if I change the same contact on my computer and my iPad?

If you change the same information on both your computer and iPad between syncs, you may create a sync conflict. iTunes then displays the Conflict Resolver dialog. Click Review Now to expand the Conflict Resolver dialog to see the details, and then click the correct version of each contact record that has a conflict. Click Done to close the Conflict Resolver dialog.

By syncing your calendars with your iPad, you can ensure you always have up-to-date information about appointments and commitments both on your iPad and your computer.

You can also sync the details of your e-mail accounts to your iPad to quickly set up the accounts on the iPad. iTunes does not sync the folders and mailboxes with the iPad. After you sync the account details, your iPad communicates directly with the e-mail server, just as your computer’s e-mail application does.

Choose Which Calendars to Sync

On the Info screen for your iPad, click Sync Calendars ( changes to ).

Note: In Windows, click Sync calendars with ( changes to ). You can then choose the program with which you want to sync — for example, Outlook.

To sync only some calendars, click Selected calendars ( changes to ).

Click the check box for each calendar you want to sync ( changes to ).

To limit the number of days of calendar data, click Do not sync events older than N days ( changes to ). Leave the default number, 30, or type a different number in the box.

Note: The Do Not Sync Events Older than N Days Option for calendars helps to limit the amount of data you sync between the iPad and your computer. Use this option to make sure your iPad is not wasting time syncing old appointments.

Choose Which E-Mail Accounts to Sync

On the Info screen for your iPad, click Sync Mail Accounts ( changes to ).

Note: In Windows, click Sync selected mail accounts from ( changes to ) and then click the program.

Click each mail account you want to sync ( changes to ).

Choose Other Options and Advanced Options

On the Info screen for your iPad, click Sync Safari bookmarks ( changes to ).

Click Sync notes ( changes to ).

In the Advanced box, click any item ( changes to ) on the iPad you want to replace with information from your computer.

Note: Use the Advanced options only when data on your iPad has become corrupted. After the sync replaces the data, iTunes clears the Advanced check boxes ( changes to ) so that it does not overwrite the data again.

TIP

Can I add to the iPad an e-mail account that is not on my computer?

Yes. You can set an e-mail account directly on the iPad. See Chapter 4 for instructions on how to set up an e-mail account.

To add apps to your iPad, you can buy the apps from the App Store using either iTunes on your computer or the App Store app on your iPad. When you buy apps on your iPad and sync the iPad with your computer, iTunes copies the apps to your computer.

iTunes can sync apps to your iPad either automatically or manually. iTunes can automatically sync new apps, which is useful for making sure you have all your latest apps with you.

Choose Which Apps to Sync to Your iPad

Click Apps.

The Apps screen appears.

Click Sync Apps if you want to sync apps to your iPad.

Click .

Click the way you want to sort the apps: Sort by Name, Sort by Kind, Sort by Category, Sort by Date, or Sort by Size.

iTunes lists the apps in the order you chose.

Note: Optionally, click and click Show Only iPad Apps. iTunes lists only the apps specifically designed for the iPad, hiding apps designed for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Click each app you want to sync ( changes to ).

Note: On a Mac, to select each check box (), +click a check box. In Windows, +click a check box.

A The app readout shows how many apps your iPad will have.

B The Home screen preview shows how the icons will appear.

Choose Which Tones to Sync

Click Tones.

The Tones screen appears.

Click Sync Tones ( changes to ).

Click All tones ( changes to ) if you want to sync all tones. Otherwise, click Selected tones ( changes to ).

If you clicked Selected tones, click the check box ( changes to ) for each tone to sync.

Choose Which Music to Sync

Click Music.

The Music screen appears.

Click Sync Music ( changes to ).

Click Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres ( changes to ).

Use the controls in the Sync Music box, Playlists box, Artists box, Genres box, and Albums box to specify which music to sync.

TIP

Can I sync all my music to my iPad?

This depends on how much music your library contains and how high your iPad’s capacity is. Normally, it is best to click Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and specify which music you want. You can click Automatically fill free space with songs ( changes to ) to pack in as much music as possible, but your iPad may then lack space for shooting photos and videos or adding other content, such as e-books.

To make the most of your iPad’s pin-sharp screen, you can sync your movies, TV shows, podcasts, iTunes courses, books, audiobooks, and photos to the device.

If you have only a few movies, TV shows, podcasts, audiobooks, and photos, you may decide to sync them all. If you have many, you will normally need to choose which to sync so you do not run out of space on your iPad. By contrast, most books have small file sizes, so you can easily fit a large library on your iPad.

Choose Which Movies to Sync

Click Movies.

On the Movies screen, click Sync Movies ( changes to ).

To sync movies automatically, click Automatically include ( changes to ), click , and then choose which movies — for example, All, 5 most recent, or 10 most recent unwatched.

Click each movie ( changes to ) to sync.

In the pop-up menu, choose the source of the photos — for example, iPhoto.

Choose which photos to sync. For example, click Selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include ( changes to ), and then choose which albums, events, and faces to include.

Perform the Sync

After choosing the items to sync, click Apply.

iTunes syncs the chosen items to your iPad.

A iTunes displays the sync status.

Note: If you decide you do not want to apply the sync changes, click Revert. iTunes restores the sync settings to how they were before and displays the Sync button in place of the Revert button and Apply button.

Sync Your iPad with iTunes via Wi-Fi

The normal way to sync your iPad with iTunes is by using the USB-to-Lightning cable to connect the iPad to your computer. But if you connect both your computer and your iPad to the same network, you can sync the iPad with iTunes wirelessly. This is called syncing “over the air.”

To use wireless sync, you must first enable it in iTunes. You can then have the iPad sync automatically when it is connected to a power source and to the same wireless network as the computer. You can also start a sync manually from the iPad even if it is not connected to a power source.

TIP

Can I sync my iPad automatically via Wi-Fi?

To sync your iPad automatically via Wi-Fi, connect your iPad to a power source — for example, the USB Power Adapter. Make sure your computer is on and connected to your network, and that iTunes is running. Your iPad automatically connects to your computer across the wireless network. iTunes syncs the latest songs, videos, and data once a day if these conditions are met, but not at a set time. You can run a sync manually any time you want.

Transfer Files to Your iPad Using iTunes File Sharing

When you need to transfer files to the iPad, you can use the File Sharing feature built in to iTunes. This feature enables you to transfer files to the iPad’s storage area devoted to a particular app. For example, when you need to use a file with the DocsToGo app on the iPad, you transfer it to the DocsToGo area using File Sharing.

Only some apps can transfer files, and you must install an app capable of transferring files via File Sharing before you can use File Sharing, as described on these pages.
