Thank you for choosing to take part in our special offer!

Here’s information you need to access the AARP Life@50+ Digital Experience with your iPad®*.

Now that you have your iPad 2, you can visit the Set-Up Counter and Orientation Stage in Hall G (right where you picked-up your iPad 2) to receive support.

Setting up your iPad 2 to access the Internet

The team of experts from the Apple Consultants Network (ACN) at the Set-up Counter will work with you personally to connect to the free WiFi here at the convention center, create an “Apple ID” or enter one you already have so that your iPad can download apps and access many other online services.

Next to the Set-Up Counter, there is a row of computers where you can get assistance if you need to look up some additional information about your email account or view product information.

30-Minute Quick-Start Classes on the iPad Orientation Stage

The ACN team will be presenting a continuous series of 30-minute orientation classes on the iPad Orientation Stage. You’ll be seated first-come, first-served in a classroom setting with infor-mation projected on a large screen.

Apple Consultants Network, Exhibit Hall Booth 3313

During exhibit hall hours, the ACN team will provide individual consultation on the iPad 2s or answer most any other technical question you may have about Apple or other products. The Ap-pleCare+ extended warranty and accessories for the iPad 2 will be available for purchase.

Both the Set-Up Counter and Orientation Stage will be in operation the following times in addi-tion to the normal exhibit hall hours:

The icons in the Downloads folder connect to iTunes where you can install the AARP iPad app and digital versions of AARP The Magazine and AARP Bulletin.

iPad 2 System Upgrade Alert!

Apple is releasing a major update to the iPad operating system starting September 19, 2012. A red dot badge with the number 1 will appear over your settings icon. Opening your Settings, you will see the System Update section highlighted. We recommend that you NOT click on the System Upgrade button until after the Life@50+ event as the process can take quite some time and requires a steady WiFi connection.
