How do I set a iPad up for the first time the small iPad

There seems to be a software glitch. The best way to fix this is to backup your iPad on iTunes or iCloud first then restore your iPad to factory settings by:
Clicking on the 'Settings' Icon, then General > Reset.
** Remember to make sure you have backed up your iPad as mentioned above **
Finally click on 'Erase All Content and Settings'

Once this is complete you can restore your iPad via the method you used to backup the iPad, either iTunes or iCloud

Time zone fixed this for me. I was having issues logging into Twitter account on iPad mini and directed me to set my time zone. Once I set the Time Zone to Set Automatically Twitter, iMessage and FaceTime worked.

Did the following:

• Go to Privacy
• Location Services
• System Services
• Turn on "Setting Time Zone"
• Go to General
• Select Date/Time
• Turn on Time zone "set automatically"

Hope this helps

Seems that your iPad has been reset to factory. You will have to plug it into your computer and launch iTunes. From there you should be able to restore from your previous sync. It helps if you use the computer you originally set up the iPad with.

Your iPad might be muted. Try switching the small switch on the right side of your iPad. It should be above the volume buttons.

This tutorial will explain how to force your iPad to restart if it gets stuck or freezes up.
Forcing your iPad to restart will not cause any loss of data - with the possible exception of any work you were doing at the time the iPad and/or App froze, forcing you to restart it.

Click and hold down the Sleep/Wake button (located on the upper-right corner of your iPad). While you're holding down the Sleep/Wake button, hold down the Home button as well (located on the front of your iPad at the bottom). Hold down both buttons until your iPad powers off. It will reboot and start again with a small silver Apple image on the screen. It takes about 30 seconds for the iPad completely start up.

Begin by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time. The hold button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad's front

You are able to use any appstore app with the iPad. Make sure your iPad is listed as a connected device in the left side bar of iTunes. Check your sync settings to make sure they're set to sync with your iPad and if needed restore your iPad using the restore button and try to sync again.
