NFR: I just won an I-Pad at work and can't get past the start-up pages.

Shouldn't it have automatically found our home Apple Airport wireless hub? That's what my Macbook did.

I hate when inanimate objects make me feel stupid. This is seriously taking away the happy bubble I was in after winning it.

It's times like this that I really miss Bachelor Bob. He was our personal Techie and all I had to do was feed him.

yes it should - go into your settings and make sure that

Wi-Fi is enabled. I don't have my ipad in front of me but as I recall it Should just be a toggle switch On/Off

congrats!

Can't help you..But CONGRATS! You deserve it after all you have contributed to LM. I am sure your

colleagues were happy for you!

I hope Pauls suggestions work for you.

Congratulations and it really could not have gone to a more deserving person.

Have fun with it!

quick, get thee to Vegas! perhaps a trip to an Apple Store for help?

 

[CathyZ]

Paul is right- and after that go to the Apple site for a walk-through of what it can do.

Apple has clear and concise instructions and they show you all the features and how to use them. Apple is awesome that way.

Congratulations

Wow, congratulations! Techwise I got nuttin' tho.

Oh, how nice! Enjoy!

Okey doke, I'm in. Tonight it decided to recognize the Apple Airport. Now to buy a case.

This puppy looks rather delicate...almost as if it will have the vapors and swoon.

Great win. A few suggestions are....if you have an Apple store around they have very good and free

classes to learn. Advanced after the initial ones too. Next there are apps you can get free or for very little money on iTunes that will help you use it like iPad Secrets. Today I bought my ultimate treat, a Logitec keyboard cover. It is just deluxe and I love it. I will sell the one the kids included with my gift on Craigs list. I bought it at Costco for 79.00, the same on Amazon. Enjoy the great time waster and congratulations!

 

[janet-in-nc]

Yes, you need a soft case

 

[mariadnoca]

Yes, I don't even have an ipad, but would covet the logitec keyboard cover if I did.

See? I'm already spending your money on accessories for you. Your welcome. smileys/wink.gif

Congrats! I love my ipad although I really should learn how to better utilize it!

Paul, that was the irony that first day. You can't see "anything" until it is done

with the initial set-up. I was stuck in Wireless Log In Land and there were no preferences yet.
