hey what's up it's Jerad with State oftech and today we are going to set up the
brand new iPad pro 11 inch 2018 edition and we're going to start by properly
backing up our previous iPad and getting that all set up so we're just gonna do a
quick back up and unboxing and setup of the new iPad and then in about a week or
so I'm gonna come back with my thoughts on that iPad and kind of let you know
some of my thoughts I've been reading of course all the
numbers that Apple and everybody else puts out there are pretty impressive so
I want to see what that really looks like in a real world scenario when we're
actually just using the iPad because I felt like the iPad pro from last year
was already pretty darn fast alright so let's get started
okay so the first thing that we're gonna do is back up our existing iPad so go to
your settings app and at the very top left-hand corner of your Settings app
where it shows your iCloud information you can tap there and then we're gonna
tap on iCloud and then scroll down to where it says iCloud backup now if
you've been running iCloud backups already that's great this is a great way
to make sure that your iPad is backed up and if anything ever happens to it you
are easily going to be able to regain all the information that you had on that
iPad so make sure I clawed backup is turned on and then tap that backup now
now even if your iPad backed up you know last night because typically your iPad
will backup when it's connected to Wi-Fi and power and you're not using it but
you want to make sure that you have the most recent backup so by tapping backup
now you're gonna get that most recent backup
now if you don't have enough iCloud storage you may need to purchase more
iCloud storage or you can select the items that you want backed up you don't
have to backup everything on your iPad so once your iPad is backed up you can
set it to the side we're not going to need it until we are logging into our
new iPad so go ahead and set that to the side alright so here I've got the brand
new iPad pro 11 inch this is the 512 gig space blue version I also have the
keyboard case the new keyboard case that I'm excited to try out and the new Apple
pencil two so I've got the full kit here and I'm excited to get all this unbox so
let's go ahead and do that
so let's go ahead and power on our new iPad pro by holding down the power
button and within a few seconds we should be greeted with the welcome
screen now it's really easy to set up a new Apple device these days you can use
one of your existing Apple devices if you have your previous iPad we can
actually use the previous iPad to setup the new iPad by keeping it right next to
us or you can use your iPhone as well so whatever device you want to use which I
recommend if you're going from iPad 2 iPad you use your iPad go ahead and make
sure that both devices are next to each other and click that continue button so
your iPad is now going to access the other iPads information by scanning that
little kind of sphere looking Spacey thing and once it does that it's going
to access information from your old iPad so that it can bring it all over so
we'll follow the prompts and select that we want to run the most recent backup of
course it says backup your old iPad now or choose that most recent backup and
since that most recent backup we ran just a few minutes ago we're gonna
choose that one now we'll continue to follow the prompts it's already began
copying over some of our information and by following the prompts here we are
gonna start to set up our face ID on our new iPad what's awesome about the new
face ID is that we could set it up whether the iPad is in portrait mode or
landscape mode and now you can unlock your iPad from any direction unlike the
iPhone which requires you to hold it in portrait mode right up in front of you
so I'm excited I'm gonna go ahead and get my face scanned here and we can move
forward to the next step so I'm going to go ahead and set up my Apple pay a
little bit later I don't need to set that up right now you can always go back
into your settings and there will be an option right there underneath that
iCloud login that we tapped on to do our backup that gives you any additional
steps that you still need to take to set up your iPad so we'll continue to follow
the prompts and then we will be presented with
our iPad homescreen with a bunch of apps that look dark essentially what's
happening there is those are all the apps and everything that was on our
previous iPad and now it is downloading all of that information so of course you
want to make sure that you remain connected to your Wi-Fi and maybe even
plug some power into your iPad depending on how much data it is copying over this
process could take anywhere from 10 minutes up to an hour so all right so my
iPad is now set up of course there are some apps that still need to finish
downloading but I can continue to use my iPad now and start to use some of the
apps as they become available there are apps that you're going to have
to log back in to of course some apps will already be logged into and you
won't have to do any setup on them a lot of your data comes copied over but not
every app does that work perfectly in all right so that's gonna do it for our
setup and our backup of our old iPad and our setup of our new iPad I hope that
that process helped you understand how to get your new iPad set up when moving
from an old iPad to a new iPad the process is extremely easy but I thought
it would be fun to walk through and talk about it a little bit just go through
that process together so I have a couple of videos that are going to be going up
immediately after this one the first is a video discussing how to connect
devices to your iPad the new iPad pro is USB type-c which means a lot of other
devices can plug into it for various reasons and so I'm gonna do a couple of
videos on that so if you're thinking about connecting your camera to your
iPad whether that be a DSLR camera or a GoPro or something like that
we're gonna talk about it if you have hard drives external hard drives for
additional storage that may have all of your photos and videos we're going to
talk about how to access those as well so make sure to subscribe to our channel
