Setting up a new iPad 2 device can be a simple process. You must have a working computer with iTunes installed on it, then the process should be very smooth. You will be able to have contacts, pictures, calendars, and even video transmitted from the PC to the iPad 2 in less than an hour. Follow these steps to reduce the time it takes to set up and synchronize your new device with iTunes:
get the latest version of iTunes
This is one of the most important steps when syncing your iPad 2 with your iTunes account. If you have an iPhone or iPod (iPad most owners do not), you are more than likely familiar with iTunes. This is a program that can be downloaded from the Internet free of charge to your iPad 2 and the computer will "communicate" with each other. Go to the iTunes website to be sure that you download the latest version.
iPad Connect to a computer
Now that you have your iPad 2 and PC in front of you - it's time to connect them so that they can start "talking" to each other. In your IPAD 2 frame, you will find the USB cable that will be used to charge and sync your device with your computer. This cable comes with all the iPad devices. Connect the USB cable end (lower end) to any USB port on your computer, and the thicker end into the bottom of your IPAD second Once you have properly connected each end of the right side of your iPad device will automatically begin charging.
IPAD Connecting the first time
for the first time a new device is turned on it will prompt the user to connect it to iTunes. It should not be done if you do not want to synchronize your device with your computer. If you plan to synchronize your device, please connect like the above.
As part of the process you will need to enter your iTunes account to raise a specific iTunes account. If you have an iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G, it will be asked to sign a data plan if you want. Follow the instructions to get to the point where you can actually sync your two devices.
Force Sync
When you choose what you want to sync to your iPad in iTunes panel, you'll need Apple these settings. Click on "Apply" button to start the synchronization process. You can also force the synchronization when you feel the need to click on the "Sync" button, located on the bottom right of the iTunes window.
