Syncing my new iPad. Goofed and did not preselect apps and photos and songs, so this is taking forever to sync. I found the instructions for setting up the iPad to be rather vague and confusing.
From the iTunes screen on my Mac computer I was presented with the option to 'join mobileme'. I was already a mobile me user, so I clicked on the get more info if already a user link. This opened a Safari webpage instructing me to make sure 'push' was selected in my mobile me settings. I wasn't sure where this was needed to be selected and logged into my mobile me account. I could not see a place on my mobile me account page on the web to make this setting. Then I realized these settings were accessed from the ipad icons.
The next instruction was to 'add an account' (via my iPad). I tried to add my mobile me mail account, I was presented with the message "unable to connect using SSL". I opted for 'Yes' continue without using SSL. Then I tried to continue from that point and received another message to the effect that I would not be able to send/receive email from this account. So I cancelled. From that point, I decided to select wifi icon on the ipad screen (which indicated it was not connected to internet) and then selected my home network. Then I tried to re-add the mobile me account and it was accepted without a problem.
I am so anxious to try out this new toy, but it is still syncing.
