The iPad is an amazing technological advance due to all the things you can do with it. A little know-how goes a long way with your iPad experience. Use these tips to use the device like an old pro.
The latest operating system, iOS, allows you to use folders on your iPad. Tap an app and hold the icon until it jiggles. Then, drag the app onto a second app and let go. Instantly they will both merge into a folder named after their categories. If you would like to name the folder yourself, that can be done as well.
Those iPad apps can be addictive, so keep a tally of how many you purchase. It’s simple to keep spending where there is so much to download. Make sure you monitor how much you spend.
Are you finding it annoying to receive constant messages from your iPad asking if you are interested in accessing a wifi network that it has detected? You can go to your settings and disable this feature. If you would rather not be prompted, you can click the Wi-Fi button and you will not have to deal with this anymore.
Mute Button
Did you accidentally launch a loud application? It is easy to mute the volume on the iPad. All you have to do is hold down the volume-down key until it turns off. If you find yourself needing a mute button often, you can set the screen lock button to work as a permanent mute button.
Do you hate only being able to preview two lines of your new emails? If so, you can change this option. Open the settings app, then choose “mail” on the left side. Next, tap on the “preview” setting. Increase the number of lines listed. By using the five lines option, you can quickly skim your emails.
If you are like most people, you receive many emails each day and do not need to be notified each time. You can get rid of this feature, if you find it annoying. Under the Settings menu, choose “General”. Tap Sounds. You may turn off the New Mail sound, or lower its volume.
If you want to put your calendar on the iPad calendar you should click on the mail and then your contacts and then your calendar. Choose Add An Account, then Other. Hit Add CalDAv Account and punch in all of your Google information. Leave the settings menu and open the calendar app. Everything you needed should be visible.
Are you annoyed or distracted by the constant battery life percentage displayed on your iPad’s screen? It can be easily turned off. To begin, open Settings. You will find Usage under General. Access the Usage menu and turn off the display for battery percentage.
Do you want the option of finding your own iPad if you have lost it? Then you must go to iCloud, by going to Settings, then iCloud. Enter your Apple ID, and then scroll down to “Find My iPad.” Then activate it. When you do this, you will simply need to go to iCloud.com to find your iPad if it goes missing.
Muting your iPad quickly and easily is easy. Just hold down the volume down button for a couple seconds. That works faster than continuing to adjust your volume. Make sure you hold it again when you want the volume turned back down.
Shutter Button
Some people hold the iPad horizontally while taking photos. Doing so will make the shutter button move around, causing wobbly pictures. You can always push the lock for the orientation. This keeps your shutter button within an easier reach of a thumb. You can edit your image or videos after recording them.
If you want your iPad battery life to last longer, turn down the illumination level of the screen brightness. This can give you the battery longevity that you require and need. To do this, double-click the Home button, swipe to the left and adjust the slide with the sun icon.
The iPad has passed milestones and revolutionized the way people see hand-held technology. With the wide variety of things that an iPad is capable of, it can be used in almost any setting imaginable. This article has shown you how many functions the iPad has.
