getting started

[Hernan]

Hi, I just got my new iPad2. I turned it on and I see in the scree the iTunes icon with the white cable. I cannot do anything to start using it. Im stuck in that screen and dont know what to do. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. H

Hi Herman-you will need to connect it to your computer to do the initial set up with Itunes. Make sure that your Itunes software is updated to the latest 10.5.3.-I believe that is the latest.

Once you have completed this-you're ready to enjoy your ipad!
