A In-Depth Look At Using The Ipad

By Phyliss Calvani


No matter how old you are, you are bound to enjoy playing with an iPad. Children can use them for school and to play games, while adults can use them to do business. The iPad has nearly infinite uses. The information in this article should help you to learn about some of the unique features of your iPad, allowing you to enjoy using it all the more.

iPad's iOS supports folders now. Tap an app and hold the icon until it jiggles. Then, drag the app onto a second app and let go. Your iPad will then create a folder with both apps. The folder will show the name representing the category associated with those apps. Then you rename the folder.

Don't forget how many apps you are running at once. While you work on other things, some apps will continue running on your iPad in the background. If you want to see what else is running on your iPad, just double-click the Home button. The more you have running, the more battery you'll use, so close those you don't need. After you see what is running, close the bar by swiping downward.

You can reset your iPad if you see that it is frozen. To do this, you must hold the home and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds. The device will restart. If all you need is for an application to close, then hold down the home button. Keep it held for a second or two.

There are alternatives to viewing pictures if you do not want to click on the camera roll icon. Just do a one-finger swipe to see your photo or video. You can look at previous pictures by going left.

The iPad's default setting shows two lines of every email prior to it being opened. In some cases, you may want to see more before you open it. To change this, head to iPad Settings and press on Mail. Select Contacts under Mail, then select Calendar to alter the options for additional lines in Preview mail.

You need to take good care of your iPad since it is such a big investment. Many people buy screen protectors for use with their iPads. It may seem like a flimsy piece of plastic, but it will do a good job of protecting your iPad's screen. To clean the screen, be sure to use a lightly water dampened, soft cloth. Don't use window or household cleaners on the iPad.

If you want to browse a new web page without losing track of what you were browsing before, use the tabbed browsing feature. When in Safari, tap and hold a URL to see a popup menu. You can select the option to have another tab created with the new link content.

Add extra email addresses and phone numbers to 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. If you find more emails or things like phone numbers that FaceTime should recognize, go to the settings on your iPad and set them up.

Use the following trick to quickly mute your iPad. Simply hold down the 'volume down' button for two seconds. This will allow you to get the job done fast and efficiently. Hold it again when you want to turn the volume up.

Now that you've read the article above, you are a lot more prepared to get the most from your iPad. Check out some of these new features to extend your performance. As you learn more about it, you will discover more benefits to this great tool!
