Amazing Things That Your IPad Can Do For You

By Candelaria Darting


Having an iPad can be both fun and useful; you may use it in your free time or you may use it for work. However, to really get the most of your iPad, there are some tips you should be aware of. This article will give you these helpful tips and more.

When you first purchased your iPad, pages loaded quickly. Now, you are noticing your machine is not as snappy in it responses as it used to be. Over time, the installation of data and apps will slow down your iPad. To keep your iPad at optimum speed, periodically review the information and apps you have installed and delete those that are no longer being used. By doing this, your iPad will become snappier in its response again.

Make the most of the "delete all" function that is incorporated within the iPad. For security reasons you can program the tablet to delete all your sensitive data if your password is entered incorrectly 10 times. This is a perfect feature if your tablet has been lost or stolen and you keep extremely confidential details on it.

Use Folders. You can now put folders on your iPad. Simply press down on one icon until it begins to jiggle, and then place it "on top" of another icon. You will then create a folder that includes both of those icons. This can be a quick way to organize all of the things you have on your iPad.

Go into your settings, navigate to "general" and slide the side switch to "lock orientation." Typically, this is set to mute, but that can be incredibly inconvenient. For example, if you are trying to read on your iPad, the screen may continuously rotate, causing you some frustration. Fix this ahead of time.

A great feature of the iPad is the zoom features. You can easily zoom in and out of any website by pinching with two fingers on the screen. This will help you select tiny links or features when they are larger. You can also double-tap on any image or text to enable auto-zoom.

When taking pictures, you should use the orientation lock button so the shutter button remains near your thumb instead of shifting to the bottom of your screen. You will then be able to take pictures without shaking when you hold the iPad by its sides. Use an image editor app to rotate your pictures afterward if you need to.

Be sure that you only use official iPad accessories with your iPad. Accessories made by other companies have been shown to slow the device and even cause permanent damage at times. Even though the Apple accessories are more expensive than other options they are cheaper than having to replace your iPad altogether.

Do you notice that if you travel a lot and use your iPad on different WiFi networks, the networks are saved in your iPad? This can be annoying when you try to connect to a place you visit frequently, and you have to search for the one you need through many options. Just go to your WiFi settings, choose the network, and you can make your iPad forget it by clicking the blue arrow and choosing "Forget This Network."

You can use Google Maps as an alternative to a GPS, even though there is no built-in satellite navigation in your iPad. Launch Google Maps and do a search for directions. You only have to enter your destination and your iPad will automatically figure out your current location. You will then have access to step by step directions.

In conclusion, some people use their iPad for fun and others use it for their professional life. No matter what the case is for you, you need to know everything you can about the iPad to truly take advantage of this wonderful advice. Use the tips this article has provided you with to do just that.
