Almost everyone is familiar with tablets, specifically iPads. If you have not yet jumped on the bandwagon, you are missing out! You can find a plethora of things to use your iPad for. For some eye-opening tips, see the helpful information below.
Do you know what to do when your iPad freezes? It can be rebooted by using a soft reset. Simultaneously hold down the Power and Home buttons for several seconds. Your device then restarts itself. If all you need is for an application to close, then hold down the home button. Keep it held for a second or two.
Change your settings so that you can preview more than two lines of an email in your inbox. Go to Settings, Mail and find Preview. Switch this to show more text; perhaps five lines. Now it is possible to preview more content from each message, making skimming quicker.
If you want to prevent anyone from stealing your information stored in your iPad, you can change the settings to delete all information after many failed password attempts. This will erase everything on your phone if someone has not figured out the code after 10 tries.
The iPad lets you see 2 lines of an email before viewing it in full. It can help for you to see more lines before you open up the email. In mail under settings, you can make this alteration. From Mail, choose Contacts, then go to Calendar where you can change the options to preview mail.
Just open new pages within a new tab to maintain the previous one. When you are in Safari, just tap and hold the link until a pop-up menu shows up. A pop-up menu will appear. One of the options allows you to launch a new tab with that link.
Do you find the battery charge percentage a bit distracting on the screen of your iPad? You can easily turn it off if you like. Click on Settings. From here, click on Usage which is found under the General section. Here, you can turn off the display for battery usage easily.
Now you can quickly mute your iPad. The original iPad didn’t have a specific mute button. On the iOS 4.3 you have the option of locking the iPad or muting the sound. Your iPad can now be quickly muted by holding the volume-down button down.
The cloud function is great to use if you love to play around on the internet. This is a convenient method of storing information without using up valuable hard drive space. Use the cloud service as well as the device for storing important documents.
You can paste and copy text using the iPad. Press at the beginning of the text and choose Select. A second tap will highlight a selection of text and allow you to choose the “copy” option. Tap again, hold and choose paste and your copied text will appear.
To see a list of running and recently-used apps, double click the home button. This opens up a menu that shows all running apps. To switch to one of those apps, just tap its icon. This enables you to know at any given time which apps are using up your energy and keep track of what you have recently worked on.
Your battery will last longer if you reduce the brightness of your screen. This is good to know if you need to save your battery because you are expecting an email. On the Home page of your iPad, you can change the screen’s brightness by adjusting the setting that shows as a sun icon.
You should use tabs to facilitate your browsing. For example, there are ways to keep a page you are viewing when you want to open a link. By holding the link instead of tapping it, you will bring up an options menu. Then just click on the Open in New Tab option, and the device will create a new page for you to view seperately from the one you are currently on.
Itunes Library
You can listen to your home iTunes library from your iPad. If you have songs stored on iTunes, you can play them right from the cloud. Just allow “Home Sharing” on the iPad and iTunes. Once this option is enabled, your iTunes library will show up under the Shared section of the music app on your iPad. Then listen away!
Getting an iPad security feature is more important than you may think. Your iPad often contains sensitive information such as phone numbers, emails, and sometimes bank information, and you can never predict losing your iPad.

Do you want to take fast screenshots with your iPad? Doing so is actually quite simple. Click Home, then Sleep/Wake. When a screenshot is taken, you will see a quick flash. The screenshot will be saved automatically, so no hassle!
Have you used your iPad and found an online image that you wanted to save? It’s pretty easy to do. You just have to tap, then hold your finger right on the image. You will then be prompted to save the image. This saves a local copy of the image so you can retrieve it later, even if you’re offline.
