Setting the Date and Time

The simplest way to set the date and time on your iPad is to make sure your computer has the correct date and time. Then when you connect your iPad to your computer, the iPad will retrieve the correct date and time from your computer. (Of course, if the date and time on your computer is wrong, that incorrect date or time will wind up getting stored on your iPad.)

To set the date and time, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.

  2. Tap General. The General settings screen appears.

  3. Tap Date & Time. The Date & Time settings screen appears, as shown in Figure 9-3.

    The Date & Time settings screen lets you customize how your iPad handles dates and times.
