Tablet set up properly and ready to use. WiFi connected, apps installed, email working, shown how to navigate it all. Actually use the tablet instead of leaving it in a drawer.
### Stop It Gathering Dust
You bought a tablet. Or someone gave you one for Christmas. It's been sitting in a drawer for 6 months because **setting it up looks complicated** and you don't know where to start.
WiFi passwords, Apple IDs, Google accounts, app stores - it's all a bit much when you just want to check Facebook and video call the grandkids.
I'll get it all set up in half an hour. WiFi working, apps installed, email sorted, ready to use. Then show you how to actually use the thing.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Tablets are brilliant for elderly relatives - bigger screen than phones, easier to use than computers. Just need setting up properly first.

Good to Know
> 📱 **iPad vs Android?** iPads are often easier for older people - more intuitive, fewer settings to mess up. Android tablets are cheaper and work well too, just slightly more complicated. **Video calling?** I can set up WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom, whatever you want to use to call family. Make sure it's all working before I leave. **For elderly relatives?** I can set it up really simply - just the apps they need, big text, written instructions. Remove all the confusing stuff they won't use. **Parental controls?** For kids' tablets I can set up time limits, content restrictions, prevent them buying apps. Keeps it safe for children. **Old tablet?** If your tablet is really old (5+ years), might be slow and not support modern apps. Sometimes worth upgrading, but I can make an old one work better by removing unused apps and freeing up space.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tablet setup in Teignmouth
Can you set up iPads and Android tablets?
Yes - both. iPads, Samsung tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, whatever you've got. The basics are similar once you know what you're doing.
What will you set up on my tablet?
WiFi connection, email, any apps you want (Facebook, games, news apps, video calling, etc.), photo library if you want to move pictures over. Whatever you actually want to use it for.
Do I need an Apple ID or Google account?
Yes - iPads need an Apple ID, Android tablets need a Google account. If you don't have one I can help you create it, but you'll need an email address to use.
Can you transfer stuff from my old tablet?
Sometimes - depends on what you want to move and whether it's the same type (Android to Android is easier than iPad to Android). Photos usually transfer fine, apps need reinstalling but keep your data if you use the same account.
Will you show me how to use it?
Absolutely - no point setting it up if you don't know how to use it. I'll show you the basics, how to find apps, how to get back to the home screen, whatever you need to know.
