Manual setup
If you’ve already gone through the automatic setup process, skip this section. If you want to know how to manually set up your iPad, however, you’re in the right place. In the interest of space, I won’t repeat details for instructions that are identical to what I explained in the “Automatic setup” section. Also, depending on the choices you make during the setup process, some of these steps may be different:
1 Begin the setup process:Press and hold down the top button on the upper-right edge. You see the Apple logo, followed by the word hello and similar greetings in a bunch of other languages.When you see either the Press Home to Open message (if your iPad has a Home button) or the Swipe Up to Open message (in English or another language), do so. The language screen appears.Tap to choose your language, followed by your country or region preferences. The Quick Start screen appears, along with a blue Set Up Manually button.
2 Tap the Set Up Manually button.
3 Tap to choose an available Wi-Fi network, provide a password (if necessary), tap the Join button, and then, after the connection is complete, tap the Next button.Certain iPad models may allow you to choose a cellular network, if available, and set up or change your Wi-Fi network later. (See Chapter 15 for setting up Wi-Fi in Settings.) After you tap Next, your iPad automatically advances to the Data & Privacy screen.
4 Tap Continue to acknowledge the Data & Privacy icon and its meaning.Apple takes your privacy seriously, calling privacy a human right! The icon you see at the top of this screen appears whenever your iPad asks to use your personal information.You advance to the Set Up Touch ID or Set Up Face ID screen, depending on your iPad model.
5 Set up Touch ID or Face ID:If your iPad model supports Touch ID but you don't want to set up Touch ID now, tap Set Up Touch ID Later (see Chapter 18 for the details), tap Don't Use, and then skip to Step 7. Otherwise, follow these steps to set up Touch ID:Tap Continue.Place a finger on the top button (or the Home button, if your iPad has one) each time you're asked. With each touch, sensors comprehensively map your fingerprint.When asked, tap Continue to adjust your grip, and continue the process until the Complete screen appears.If your iPad model supports Face ID but you don't want to set up Face ID now, tap Set Up Face ID Later (see Chapter 18 for the details), tap Don't Use, and then skip to Step 7. Otherwise, follow these steps to set up Face ID:Tap Continue. The front camera activates.When asked, turn your head in different directions until your entire face is scanned.After completing one scan, complete a second scan when asked.
6 Tap Continue.Your iPad prompts you to create a passcode.
7 Type a 6-digit passcode to unlock your iPad. When the Re-enter Your Passcode screen appears, type your passcode again.The Apps & Data screen appears.
8 Choose how to set up your iPad by tapping one of the options and following the on-screen prompts.Your five choices are Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from Mac or PC, Transfer Directly from iPad, Move Data from Android, and Don’t Transfer Apps & Data. When the process is complete, the Apple ID screen appears.
9 If you don’t have an Apple ID or you've forgotten it:Tap the Forgot Password or Apple ID? button.Set up a new account or bypass this step until later by choosing Settings ⇒ Apple ID.The Terms and Conditions screen appears.
10 If you have an Apple ID:Enter your Apple ID email address, click Next, enter your Apple ID password, and click Next.If you have activated two-factor authentication (sometimes called 2FA), approve this login on one of your other Apple devices, and then enter the passcode displayed on that device.If you use a different Apple ID for iCloud than you do for iTunes, enter both by tapping the Use Different Apple IDs for iCloud & iTunes? button and entering your credentials for both.When your Apple ID has been set up, the Terms and Conditions screen appears.
11 Tap Agree to accept the terms and conditions.When you tap Agree the second time, the Express Settings screen appears.
12 Tap Continue.The Siri screen appears.
13 Tap Continue to activate Siri.Siri is activated by default. Although you can turn Siri off in Settings, I strongly recommend that you keep this feature on and use it. Siri is a good voice assistant, and Apple is improving it steadily.Your iPad prompts you to say a few phrases to set up the Hey Siri feature.
14 Say the phrases as each is offered to you.When Hey Siri is set up, you see the Improve Siri & Dictation screen.
15 Tap Share Audio Recordings.The iPad Analytics screen appears.SECURITY USING YOUR FINGER OR YOUR FACEEvery iPad covered in this book is equipped with either Face ID or Touch ID, which is a fingerprint scanner cleverly embedded in the top button (or the Home button, if your iPad has one).With Touch ID and a gentle press of any designated finger, you bypass your passcode. (Setting up passcode safeguards is a good idea and is something I cover in the chapter on security, Chapter 18.)What’s more, you can use your own digit (not the numerical kind) to authenticate iTunes and App Store purchases, and to access your iCloud Keychain passwords
