Using Your
Apple ID
If you already have an
Apple ID, sign in with it
now; just enter your user
name and password in
the fields provided. If
not, tap Create an Apple
ID and follow the
on-screen instructions to
set one up now. An
Apple ID lets you buy
from the App Store and
iTunes, and also gives
you a handy iCloud
email address, so it’s
essential you register for
one. It’s also free.

Auto
Update
Next you’re asked
whether you want to
keep your iPad up to
date by installing
updates automatically,
or if you prefer to do so
manually. The choice is
entirely yours but if you
want to update
automatically, tap the
big blue button marked
Continue. To update
manually, tap the link
underneath the button.
Either way, you’re taken
to the next screen.
13
Terms and
Conditions
Before you can
complete the setup
process and ultimately
use your iPad you need
to read and then agree
to Apple’s Terms and
Conditions. It’s not the
most exciting of
documents, but you
need to tap Agree to
continue. You can have
the document emailed
to yourself if you want,
but this isn’t essential;
you can read it on the
screen now if you prefer.

Apple
Pay
Another feature to set
up now or skip and do
later is Apple Pay.
Setting up Apple Pay
involves adding credit
or debit cards, so you
can use them to pay
for goods and services
directly from your iPad.
To set it up now, tap
Continue and follow the
on-screen instructions
to set up your Apple
Pay, or you can set up
the service in the
Settings app later.
12
Verification
Code
Next you must enter a
verification code, sent
to you by Apple. If you
already use Apple
devices, this code is
sent to one of them. If
you’re starting with a
new Apple ID, you can
have it sent to your
mobile, or given to you
in a phone call. If you
didn’t get a code, tap
the link and have it
delivered another way.
Type the six figure
number to continue.
14
Express
Settings
After a short wait, you’re
taken to the Express
Settings screen, as
shown here. We
recommend you tap
Continue to turn on the
Siri digital assistant and
allow specific apps
such as Maps to access
your current location.
You can always change
your settings in the
Settings app later.
Alternatively, tap
Customise Settings and
set them up separately.
