Don&#8217;t fret, soon the hubbub will blow over and we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming. Until then, there are only a few hours left before the iPads start hitting owner&#8217;s hands, so it&#8217;s a good idea to make sure everything is ready for the new addition to the family. Here are 5 things you can do to be ready for your iPad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update OS X<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re a Mac user, make sure you have updated OS X to the latest version (10.6.3).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update iTunes<\/strong>. Both Mac and Windows users need to update to the latest version (9.1) of iTunes, as that enables syncing with the iPad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update iPhoto.<\/strong> Mac owners will want to update to iPhoto 8.1.2. It addresses sync issues with iPod, iPhone and most likely the iPad.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-61313\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/apple\" title=\"Apple\">Apple<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/02\/ipad-app-press-release-generator\/\">Exclusive &#8212; iPad App Press Release&nbsp;Generator<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/02\/mobiletechroundup-203-the-mobile-paradigm-shifts\/\">MobileTechRoundup 203 &#8212; The Mobile Paradigm&nbsp;Shifts<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/02\/this-week-in-mobile-tech-manor-82-ipad-eve\/\">This Week in Mobile Tech Manor #82: iPad&nbsp;Eve<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/04\/01\/logmein-ignition-free-upgrade-for-the-ipad\/\">LogMeIn Ignition &#8212; Free Upgrade for the&nbsp;iPad<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Download iPad apps<\/strong>. You don&#8217;t have the iPad yet but you can go ahead and download apps for it through iTunes. There are many apps already available in the App Store so grab the ones you need.
