Anyone who has ever used an iPad knows what a powerful, yet intuitive and elegant device it is. Research will help you find out many things you didn’t know the iPad could do. Continue reading to get some terrific advice about how to maximize your own iPad experience. You can access all of your running apps on your iPad. To see what you have running, just double-click the Home button. The apps will show up on the bar at the bottom of the screen. To navigate quickly to another running app, simply tap it. When you no longer want to see it, swipe downwards to eliminate the bar from your screen. Search Engine If you would rather not have Google as a default search engine, that can be changed. Go to the Settings menu, choose Safari and then choose Search Engine. If you would rather use Yahoo or Bing, you can chose one of them instead. There is an easier way to open your favorite websites than tapping the bookmarks icon. Turn the Bookmarks Bar on instead! Go to your Settings screen, click Safari and then go to Always Show Bookmarks and switch this to the On position. It is really easy to make a screenshot with an iPad. Just hold down the Home and Sleep buttons together. Then you will have a screenshot you can organize with your other photos. Since an iPad is a significant investment, it is wise to provide proper care for it. Many buy screen protectors. This thin protective sheet provides additional protection for the oil-resistant coating on the iPad’s screen. Whenever you clean the screen of your iPad, use a soft cloth that has been lightly dampened with water. Avoid using window cleaners or household cleaners for cleaning the screen of your iPad. Mute Button You can now quickly mute your iPad. The original iPad did not have a mute button. Starting with 4.3 the lock switch was able to be used as a mute button. To perform a fast mute, all that you need to do is press and hold the volume-down button. For frequently used apps, you can access them much faster. Press the home button twice and a bar will appear with all the running apps. This can save you time when switching between apps because you don’t have to go back to the home screen and navigate to the app. The iPad is not only great for music, but it is great for podcasts too. Podcasts are radio programs that last anywhere from two minutes to two hours, and they can be on all sorts of topics. If your radio stations aren’t playing any good music, then try some podcasts. You will definitely be able to find a subject that interests you. You can copy and paste text on your iPad. Simply hold down the text that you intend to copy. Tap the screen again, and you can select Copy. Simply tap, hold and select paste to apply the highlighted text. Switch on your auto brightness in order to add battery life. Then, the iPad adjusts the lighting to its surroundings. This will control the power being drawn from the battery by the screen, and you’ll be able to use the iPad for longer periods before having to charge it. To set this up, look in the settings for Brightness and Wallpaper. Accessing your iTunes library on your iPad is simple. If you have songs in your iTunes account and do not wish to download these again, there is an easy answer to this. Simply go to the Home Sharing tab in your iTunes, as well as your iPad. Then go into your Music app on the iPad, click More, and click Shared. Start listening to your music! While you may not think it is necessary, it is always smart to put a security feature on your iPad. If you happen to lose it, you wouldn’t want those with nefarious intentions having access to your personal information. So, take the necessary precautions to keep your info safe. Become a part of the iPad community online. You will learn a lot from other users who have had their device for a [...]
