The first thing you want to do after your iPad unboxing is to associate your new baby directly to your computer with the Usb cable. Open your iTunes software once you are associated to the computer. If you don't have iTunes, you will want to download it from Apple's website before you associate your iPad. Itunes is free fairly easy to set up.

Once your iPad is associated to your iTunes you will be asked to register. This may be where you palpate your first hiccup in the process. If the iPad is not associated properly it is likely your version of iTunes is out of date. Just go ahead and modernize your iTunes and you should be fine upon restart.

You will be asked to register your iPad once iTunes recognizes it. Make sure you register because if something goes wrong with your iPad, you may be delayed in receiving a remedy from Apple if it isn't registered. So go ahead and register your iPad.

Next you will be asked to restore your iPad to its original state or set up your iPad as new. Obviously this is a brand new iPad so you want to choose the selection which lets you "Set up a new iPad." Keep in mind if you do want to restore the iPad it could take quite awhile. So in the hereafter if you do have to do a restore, make sure you set up your restore at a time where you don't need immediate passage to your iPad.

The next step will be to sync your media. You will be asked to set up iTunes so it automatically syncs. I choose not to do this with any of my Apple devices. If there is one fault with the iPad it is that the iPad apps are huge and you will fill up your iPad fast. So choose carefully when it comes to syncing your media. If you have a ton of movies in your iTunes, you may want to only sync the movies or videos that you intend to watch right away. Otherwise you are going to fill up your iPad quick with a bunch of files you won't be using in the immediate future. My suggestion is to sync your media manually so you can pick and choose what you want on your iPad.

Email set up is one of the easiest things to set up on the iPad. It is as easy as choosing your email program, entering your login information, and then you are good to go.

I would also advise taking some time and searching the Internet for Apple iPad tricks and tips. There are a ton of honestly cool things that some iPad users have done with the device. There are things you would never dream of that some people have figured out and posted step by step tutorials online for new iPad owners like you.

Now you are set up to receive email, download apps, and watch your beloved media on your new toy. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the marvelous world of this marvelous piece of technology. It will turn your life and before you know it, it will be time to make a race to the store for Apple's next version of the iPad.
