How to Activate an iPad (13 Steps)

Turn on the iPad. You'll see a welcome screen with 'Hello' in multiple languages. Slide your finger over the 'Slide to set up' graphic.
Select your language from the menu. Select your country from the list on the next screen.
Activate Location Services. GPS location, Wi-Fi router signal strength and cell phone tower triangulation combine to locate your iPad. If you're concerned about privacy, turn off this feature later in the 'Settings' app. Tap 'Next' to continue.
Select your Wi-Fi network from the network list and enter your network username and password. Do not set up an iPad on an unsecured network. If your iPad has cellular data services, you can use that as your data connection, although it's better to use a Wi-Fi network if one is available. A Wi-Fi network doesn't have a carrier bandwidth cap and transfers data faster than a cellular data plan. Tap 'Next' to continue.
Select the option that works best for you on the next menu -- if you don't have an existing Apple ID, select 'Set Up as New iPad.' If you're using this iPad to replace an existing one with content on it, select 'Restore from iCloud Backup.' You can restore from an iTunes backup if you haven't yet backed up to iCloud.
Create a new Apple ID if needed, entering your birthday, name and email address. Enter your existing Apple ID if you're restoring from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Read the terms and conditions. Click 'Next' to continue and select 'Yes' to use iCloud. Choose from the other options as appropriate and tap 'Next.'
Activate the optional 'Diagnostics and Usage' if you want Apple to receive diagnostic data on applications that crash and how you use the device.
Tap 'Start Using iPad' to go to the Home screen. Your iPad has been activated.

How to Use a Mac Camera for Security (7 Steps)

Open the iChat application and create a new iChat account. You will be prompted to do this if you have not used iChat before, or you can find it by opening 'Preferences' in the iChat menu and clicking on the 'Accounts' tab.
Create a second new iChat account (or AIM for a Windows computer) for the computer you will use to monitor the security camera.
Click on the 'Privacy' tab for your first new account and select 'allow specific people.' Enter the account of your monitor computer.
Select 'Alerts' and 'Video Invitation.' Turn off the default value of 'play a sound.' Turn on 'Run an AppleScript script' and select 'Auto accept' from the menu.
Add iChat to your auto-login items by opening the 'Accounts' preference pane in 'System Preferences,' clicking on 'Login Items' and dragging the iChat application to the list. iChat will now run whenever you are logged in to this account.
Turn your monitor backlight off, so it is not obvious that the computer is on.
Connect to the iChat account of this computer from any other Macintosh running iChat, or any computer running an AIM video-chat client. The security Mac will automatically accept the invitation and display the video captured live by its camera.
