IPad Help And Hints To Maximize Your Experience

By Heather Eisternam



An iPad is versatile enough to provide use for many people. If you add a keyboard, it can be used for word processing. Use a joystick with it and you have a gaming system. You can even use it in the office to video conference with employees or customers. These tips help bring out the best in your iPad.

The default setting provides a generic signature that indicates your email was sent via iPad. Most people don't bother changing it, and this can be rather tedious. You can personalize your signature by changing the setting. Just go to "Mail" under the settings, choose "Contacts," then "Calendar" and choose "Signature" from there to change it.

Are you aware that you do not need to use the keyboard on your iPad? That is a great thing for people who have trouble with it. Any Bluetooth keyboard can be connected wirelessly with no problem. This is of great use to professionals and students.

Are you having problems with a scratches screen? Although the iPad is pretty sturdy, if a lot of small scratches are beginning to become visible, you may want to add a protector to your device. This protects your iPad, because the last thing you want is your crystal-clear screen becoming marred with annoying scratches.

Have ever needed to take a screenshot? It is far simpler than you may have imagined. Push the home button and then push the button that puts your device to sleep. You will see a flash, and the screenshot will have been taken. Every screenshot is saved automatically, so you don't need to save them yourself.

To copy and paste when using an iPad, tap, then hold down the text you are interested in. Then pick Select. Then you will choose copy and go to another application, then press and hold again. This will cause a menu to pop up, displaying Paste. Tap it. If you want to copy and paste a complete paragraph, tap four times.

To see what apps are currently running, click twice on the Home screen. This will allow you to see all of the running apps that you have. Use this function to check which apps are running, and close the ones you do not need.

Does the battery charge icon distract you on your iPad screen? This can be simply turned off. To begin, enter the menu for your Settings. Once there, go to General and locate Usage. You should be able to figure out how to turn off the battery percentage display on this menu.

Decide whether you want the lock key to lock the orientation of your tablet or mute the sound. If you had an older iPad model, you likely know that this is a new feature. You have this option if you are using iOS 4.3 or above. Using the volume button on the side works to mute the iPad, too.

Everyone knows that the iTunes store exists, but not everyone knows about its features. iTunes U is pretty interesting. This area features education-related podcasts on a variety of subjects. Use them to increase your breadth of knowledge.

There are several options for search engines on your iPad. It's easy to change to another search engine. Go to Settings, choose Safari, then choose Search Engine. Pick which search engine you desire. You can choose between Bing, Yahoo and Google.

Watch how much money you spend on apps. Because your credit card is on file with the iTunes store, it is not hard to go overboard buying apps and then get a nasty credit card statement shock. Therefore, it is important to monitor your spending.

Whether you would like to do your homework, talk to far-away friends or play games, the iPad gives you the option of doing all that and more. You just have to know how to use it in the way you wish. Use the information in this article to get the most out of your iPad.
