Question: how long does it take to set up your apple id on a new ipad?
Answer: Answer: A: It took me less than 10 minutes to set up my new iPad. The longest part of the process will be restoring you app data and settings and syncing your content back onto the iPad. If this is a first time iPad for you and you have no content yet, then it will take only minutes - 10 minutes or so - if that long.
