Hello Graham
I can't really give you the procedure of setting up your I-pad, as it is quite complicated
I got my mine about two years ago and do recall, it was quite a struggle, mainly because BT Internet system was faulty at the time…….but I wasn't aware of it!
Just read the instructions very carefully and if you have a problem, you have got only a certain time span to get free advice from Apple help line
I would recommend that you keep a file and make notes of your progress and be careful with the passwords and make a note of the Wi-fi codes etc and other annoying little numbers
You'll get there in the end!
All the best…….Bob
