Ippy help please.

[bobAlike]

I take it that you've never connected it to you PC then?
Have you got iTunes on your PC? If not you will need to download and install that first.

No, I've never connected it to my PC before.

ITunes on my PC? Highly unlikely, I would think, I never use ITunes. I think I had to sign up to it on my Ippy when I first got it, I can't remember why, but it was mandatory I think.

Guy never mentioned I needed ITunes?

You can download it here;
http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/

just follow the instructions. You will need your iTunes account and password. This is what you type in to your ippy when you download an app.

Once you've done that plug the ippy to the pc and follow instructions.

you will have i tunes as you need it to set up an i pad on day 1, they dont work "out of the box" so to speak

On my Ippy, yes, on my PC, no.

I'm a little confused - your previous Post said....

You neednt even open I tunes, it will do it for you!

So now I have to download ITunes on my PC?

God, this is so bloody complicated.

I had assumed you have i tunes, as I thought you needed it to set up your ipad on day 1. Did you buy this new?

Every Apple product I own requires installation through I tunes to register it, log the serial number and generlly make it work.

The concern I have about telling you to "just download i-tunes" is that it might as you to "set up a new device", and then you have a solid chance of cocking everything up and loosing all the stuff on your i pad!

How did you set up the i pad when you bought it?

[outragous76]

URGENT - see above about i tunes!

[outragous76]

have you bought a new pc since you bought the i pad?

[tikay]

I tried to Download ITunes, as above, but I have a company Lappie, that has preset "Privilege Rights" & I do not have the Admin Rights to allow me to Download it.

I'll have to use someone else's Lappie. That will work, yes?

um, no, not if they have an apple device

Lets go back to when you bought it, did you just start using it out of the box?

I have ITunes on the Ippy, yes.

I got the Ippy new, from an Apple shop.

I had to set up an ITunes account there & then, to make the Ippy work. I have never opened it since.

The nice man in the Apple Shop did it all for me when I first purchased the Ippy, as I recall.

[bobAlike]

It will work but if they have itunes already and devices connected to it it may cause them probs. Do you not own your own pc? I know a man who can get laptops at a great discount on new.

No. Why?

Yes, (see previous Post) the man in the Shop got me to sign up to ITunes, & that was it, I went home & started using it.

As it happens, I've never been able to use the e-mail functuion for some reason, it does not work, but I'm not fussed.  I have a Yahoo e-Mail Account I have had for 20 years or so, & that does not seem to work on the i-Pad - I can receive e-Mails, & see them, but I cannot reply to them.

I don't think that smiley will do this thread any justice. It's just not big enough.

You may be better off asking your IT dept if they will install iTunes for you. Some companies allow it.

If there's no responsible adult nearby, I'd just take it to the Apple Store and get them to sort it out.
