Just got my new iPad Air. It's was very easy to set up. This is my first Apple product. So far I'm really happy. DW

Congratulations!

Make sure you update the software with the latest patch, for security reasons. (Settings --> General --> Software Update. If you've already done it, it will tell you that your software is up to date.)

You should check out the QVC App in the App Store. It's free and pretty nice. I still use Safari to navigate to to MrRebates.com and then QVC to actually make a purchase, but I use the app to quickly check out products or videos and watch the live TSV launch while I'm watching something else on my TV.

I just got an new iPhone about 2 weeks ago and it already wants me to update to the new system.

I'm afraid if I update I'll have problems.

Update when prompted.

Definitely update when prompted. Sunshine Kate, it's just a small release, not a new system.

FYI, you cannot get to the community boards using the Q app. Go to QVC using a browser. Acquaint yourself with iPad hints and tricks here on the electronic forum for lots of good info.

Kate, this was a major security patch and definitely should NOT be ignored. It fixes a code issue that allowed others to access your email or intercept data passing between your phone and a wi-fi network. Mine took less than 5 minutes and started right up as soon as it finished. I didn't need to reset the language or anything else like I did after some earlier patches.

I just upgraded from a 32GB original iPad with a very limited AT&T wireless data plan to a 64GB iPad Air with a 2GB Verizon plan and all I can say is "WOW". There is a world of difference between them in terms of speed, clarity of display and capability. I wasn't unhappy with my old iPad, but I ran out of storage a long time ago and the OS couldn't be updated making some of the apps difficult to use. I LOVE my new one.

Congrats and enjoy. Well worth the money spent (IMO). It works the way they say it will, and when you want it to work. Also congrats to Frostybabe on your upgraded toy.

A question about charging..when I got my iPad and set it up it was almost 90% charged. When should I charge it?..How low do you let it get? When I do charge it can I plug it in at night at bedtime and charge it that way..will it over charge and stress the battery...Thanks ...DW

My GS and myson both told me I never have to turn it off ,it will just go to sleep and wake up when I use it.I always keep it plugged in when I'm not using it. I don't know how to turn it off.

I turn mine off occasionally. I read at the Apple support site to charge when the battery gets to 20%. I also don't keep it plugged in per Apple. To turn it off, hold down the home or round button until a red message appears to shutdown.

Thanks for the replies...The iPad is really pretty easy to navigate around. I'm amazed how easy and fast it is...I think it would be easier for an inexperienced person to use than learning a computer....DW

Tablets are very nice technology.
