The iPad is a wonderful device. It lets you type, sing along, record yourself, draw pictures, anything and everything. However, without a bit of understanding, you might get lost in all of the available features. Keep reading for some solid tips about using the iPad that you must know.
It is easy to access your running apps on the iPad. By double-clicking on your Home button, you will see every running app in a bar near the bottom of the screen. Tap on any of these apps to access it. To get rid of the bar, you should take your finger and swipe it down towards the bottom of the screen.
Pay attention to how much you spend on all those apps you buy. iTunes makes it simple to just click and buy once you have entered your credit card or gift card information. So it is critical to keep track of what you spend.
You do not have to use the camera roll icon to see the picture or the video you just took. You can just swipe right with your finger, and you will see the last picture or video you took. Swipe left in a continuous motion to see prior photos.
Change your settings so that you can preview more than two lines of an email in your inbox. Go to Settings, Mail, and Preview. You can change this from 2 lines to 5 lines. Now you’ll be able to see every email that you have in your inbox, which really speeds things up.
When you get your iPad it is set to only show the first two lines of any given message in the preview mode. This can often help to see content before opening the email. Choose “Mail” in Settings. Select Contacts under Mail, then select Calendar to alter the options for additional lines in Preview mail.
Shortcuts will help you send messages quickly. If you double tap the space bar, you’ll get a period followed by a space, for example. You won’t need to labor over your messages using this method.
Quickly Mute
It is easy to quickly mute your iPad. When the iPad originally came out, there wasn’t a dedicated mute button. With the release of iOS 4.3, you have the option of locking the iPad orientation or have the sound muted. To quickly mute your iPad now, just press and hold the volume-down button.
To copy and paste when using an iPad, tap, then hold down the text you are interested in. Then pick Select. Once the text is selected, tap “copy”, and switch to the app you wish to paste to and hold down a tap again. You will then see the option to paste. Click on that. To do an entire paragraph, simply tap four times.
A lot of iPad owners know that their device has an iTunes store, but might not be aware of everything that it has to offer. One of the more interesting is iTunes U, or iTunes University. In this section, there are plenty of podcasts of an educational nature for students and anyone who loves to learn.
Switch on your auto brightness in order to add battery life. The iPad automatically senses the amount of light that is in the room, and it will adjust its lighting to the best amount. This technique is perfect for retaining battery capacity and keeping your device alive hours after it has been removed from the charger. To set this up, look in the settings for Brightness and Wallpaper.
Make the most of tabs when you are on the Internet. Following a link or opening another page doesn’t mean you have to exit your current page. Hold the link so that the options menu appears. Choose “open link in new tab” so that both the new page and previous page will remain open.
The settings for light aren’t really necessary depending on the environment, which is why they can be changed. Screens that are typically bright are dimmable through two taps of the Home button, followed by a swipe to get the setting tool. This lets you adjust your brightness for your surroundings.
Accessing your iTunes library on your iPad is simple. There is an easy solution for syncing up all your iTunes songs quickly. Select Home sharing in both your iPad and iTunes account. On your iPad, open the music application and click Shared. Then you can listen!
Use your iPad’s security features wisely. You could always misplace the device and someone could access all your information. You may have bank records and passwords you don’t want stolen. There are things you may not want people to see in your emails.
You can take control of your notifications. If you have a lot of apps, things are always alerting you and popping up. These can be controlled by visiting “settings” and then “notifications.” You can decide which apps you want to send alerts and which apps you do not. That way, you only get alerts from apps that are important to you.
Have you thought about connecting your TV to your iPad? If you wish to do this you will need to purchase a separate adapter. You’re looking for the digital AV adapter or the Apple VGA adapter. Either works perfectly.
Were you aware the the Google Maps application has Street View? Perform a search to make a red pin appear on the map. Touch the pin and then chose the icon that looks like a person and you will have street view.
Has taking a fast screenshot been something you have ever needed to do? It is easier than you think. Press home and then press the sleep/wake button. A brief flash will go off, and that’s your screenshot! All screen shots are automatically saved, so you don’t have to worry about saving them afterwards.
