You don’t need to press the small camera icon that’s found near the bottom left of the screen to see videos or pictures you just took. Instead, you can use one finger to swipe to the right, and voila, there is your picture or video. You can look at previous pictures by going left.

Failed Password Attempts

TIP! Copy and pasting is another great feature that the iPad offers. Use your finger to highlight the text, then choose the text that should be copied.

If you have concerns about people accessing the private info on your iPad you can select settings that will delete all of your data after several failed password attempts. By using this setting, all of your information will be erased after 10 failed password attempts.

TIP! Do you want your lock key to stop your tablet screen from turning, or to mute the sound? If you had an older iPad model, you likely know that this is a new feature. You need to have iOS 4.

Your iPad is defaulted to show the first two lines of an email in preview. You might want to see more than that. Just visit SETTINGS and tap MAIL. Go to Mail, pick Contacts and then tap Calender. Then, preview mail options to change the lines.

TIP! Make your screen less bright in order to extend the life of your iPad’s battery. This can really help if you’re expecting important messages while traveling.

TIP! You can enjoy music through iTunes on the iPad. You don’t even have to download all your songs again.

Go to the apps that you need to use frequently! Just double click the home button, and you’ll see them on the bottom of the screen. This tip can save you lots of time because you don’t have to manually scroll through each screen.

TIP! It is always a good idea to utilize the security features of your iPad, even if you don’t think you need them. You have no idea when or where you might misplace your iPad or get separated from it, and it has a lot of personal information on it.

Most people use iTunes, but many are overlooking some great features. An interesting one is iTunes U (which is used for universities). You can enjoy educational podcasts regarding professional and academic subjects.

TIP! Did you know you could take screenshots with your iPad? Press the Home button followed by the Sleep/Wake button. You will see a screen flash and hear a click.

You might never use all of the apps on your iPad. Many of them cannot be deleted. Put these programs into a folder and move it to a location that is removed from where you typically spend your time. Without these apps to clutter your screen, you can do more with your preferred apps.

TIP! Do your eyes get tired when you read books on your iPad? Try dimming the screen. You can access the level of brightness in the settings or directly reduce the brightness on the eBook application by adjusting the slider for the brightness.

After you’ve snapped the picture, use the image editor and rotate the picture to your liking.

TIP! Are you getting crummy Google search results on your iPad? There is a way that you can change this. Under Settings, choose Safari, and then Search Engine.

Double click the home button to see a list of apps that are currently running. That allows you to access a bar containing all running apps. You can see what you have running, and close any you are not using to save on memory requirements.

TIP! It is simple to copy text on your iPad by just double-tapping on a keyword. But, this is not the ideal method to use if you need to copy a large volume of text.

To help extend your iPad’s battery life turn down the screen’s brightness. The device will automatically adjust the screen brightness depending on the environmental conditions, or you can turn it down manually. On the Home page of your iPad, you can change the screen’s brightness by adjusting the setting that shows as a sun icon.

TIP! Enable the feature entitled Find My iPad, which will allow you to retrieve a lost or misplaced unit. This feature allows you to determine your iPad’s current location and do a remote wipe of confidential information.

Post on forums like MacRumors and iPadforums. You are able to learn a lot from people who can do this differently. You can also give others information about uses you have found for the iPad. If your iPad causes you trouble, forums can be great places to find answers.

TIP! If your volume buttons aren’t working, go to the Settings menus, and choose General/Sounds. Turn Change with Buttons On if need be.

Your calendar will not let you move from day-to-day with just a swipe. The way to get from one date to the next is by using the bar located below the main calendar screen. The date is the one that is spelled out in blue font.

TIP! Are you aware that it is possible to migrate your own Google Calendar into your calendar app? Go to your settings. From there, access the mail area and look for contacts.

The keyboard on the iPad isn’t your only choice. It is awfully small for some people to use. In this case, you can purchase a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to your iPad. This allows you to type with the same ease that you regularly enjoy on your laptop or desktop computer.

TIP! Get a good screen protector. This covers your screen from dirt and scratches.

You should now understand your iPad better and know how to use some of the best features it offers. Try these new features and broaden your horizons. As you gain additional knowledge about its abilities, you will realize the help this device really can provide.
