iPad 2 Instruction Manual - Where Is It And Do I Need One?

In this article we are going to be looking at the situation that everyone finds themselves in if you are a happy new owner of the iPad 2. This also applies for pretty much any iPad, you get the shiny box wrapper pulled off, open it up and lo and behold you have your iPad 2 in white or black.

So now you want to set it up and to make sure you don"t break the new piece of technology you decide to check the instructions.

The problem?

There are none!

You are probably here right now because there are no instructions in your iPad 2 box and you are looking for advice. Well first off don"t panic - you are not missing anything. Apple"s policy is that the iPad is so simple to use you do not need a manual for it.

This IS true to an extent but when you want to start using email, downloading apps or want to use the iPad for productivity this can be a problem as you might not know where to start. Another thing that will happen if you have bought the iPad recently is that during set up it will ask you to update to iOS6.

This is a fancy term for updated software and you will want to make sure you get the download as it will enhance the number of features you have with your iPad.

The steps you will have to go through to set up your iPad are:

Pick your language.

Pick your country.

Enter your details.

Set up an email address - take some time with this as it will be part of your Apple ID.

Set up a password to be able to use iTunes and the App store etc...

Along the way it will also ask you to fill in some security questions.

It is quite straight forward but if you have not used an iPad before maybe get someone to walk you through it.

Just remember that EVERYTHING on the iPad is controlled by touch so you simply need to touch the screen or slide the screen to pick options.

A good way to build experience with the iPad is to focus on one area at a time. Obviously the first thing you will want to do is connect to the Internet or set up your email but after that Safari which is the web browser of the iPad is a good place to start.

Once you get comfortable browsing the web you can move on to downloading apps, reading books on your iPad and listening to music and watching movies.

There are thousands of things you can do with your iPad and it is not that tricky it just takes some practice.

Good Luck and most of all remember to have fun!
