Using The IPad To Increase Your Business Productivity

By Anna K Malling


You may have an iPad, but you may not know exactly how to use it. You should spend some time learning about your iPad to understand all of the things that it can do. Continue reading this article to help you gain a better understanding of how to use your iPad daily.

Have you been wondering if you can merge your Google Calendar with your Calender app on your iPad? It is accomplished by clicking on the Settings icon, followed by Mail, then click Contacts and finally, Calendars. Select Add Account, and then tap on the Other icon. Your Google info can be added in Add CalDAV account.

You do not need to tap the small camera roll icon found in the bottom left corner to look at a picture or video you have just taken. Rather, you can swipe with one finger toward the right, and there is your video or picture! To view previous photos you have taken, just keep swiping to the left.

Access your email and phone numbers by setting up FaceTime. FaceTime will already have one of your email addresses in it (the one you used to register your device), but putting in more is a possibility. Go to the settings area on your iPad and set up your FaceTime for numbers and emails.

If you want to take a screenshot when using your tablet, it's easy. To pull this off, just hold down both the "Home" and "Sleep" button simultaneously. This will capture the image and save it with your other photos.

Have you noticed that your iPad doesn't have the snappy navigation that it once had and that loading apps is not as speedy as it once was? Have you deleted files and data that you no longer need, but your machine is still slow? You may think about adding your data to the cloud so you can have more free space. Many users find that putting their data in the cloud in this way drastically speeds up their devices.

Determine if you would like the lock key for locking your tablet's orientation or muting your sound. However, some of the older iPads will not have this option. If you have not yet upgraded, you should download the iOS 4.3 version as soon as possible. Additionally, you can hold the volume button down so that your device will be muted.

It makes sense to enable your "Find My iPad" option so that you can find the device if it gets lost. This will find the exact location of your iPad in case you ever lose it. Although this may seem silly, you will appreciate doing this step if your iPad is ever stolen.

It is possible to expand the amount of preview text you get for emails. In the mail section, you can adjust this with the preview setting. Reset the number so that it shows five lines at one time You will now see more lines of the email while in the inbox.

Are you unhappy with the Google search engine on your iPad? Just change it out for a different one. Go to the menu for Settings, pick Safari and then Search Engine. A list will display with the search engines that you can choose from. You can choose from Bing, Yahoo, or Google.

It is good to understand the right way to take care of an iPad. First, keep the iPad away from direct sun and never leave it in a hot car. The heat will kill your battery. Also, be sure to avoid placing your iPad in places where its electronic components could be damaged by liquids. It's also a good idea to buy a cover that's padded so your iPad is more protected.

Your battery will last longer if you reduce the brightness of your screen. This can really help if you're expecting important messages while traveling. Double touch the Home button and find the sun icon to reduce the level of light on your screen.

A screen protector to use with your iPad is a wise purchase. Basically, screen protectors are clear plastic pieces cut to fit your screen. The level of protection that this offers can save you a lot of wear and tear on your device. This will preserve your iPad for many years of use.
