TIP! Determine whether you wish your lock key to just lock tablet orientation or mute sounds. Remember that earlier iPads are not able to do that.

Like most computers and electronics, the new iPad comes with pre-installed apps that are of no use to you. However, many of these can’t be deleted. One way to get them out of your hair is to create a new page of apps and put all of the preloaded apps you don’t use into a folder on that page. This helps keep them out of your way.

TIP! Get all of your iPad notifications under control. With multiple apps, you are sure to see lots of alerts and whatnot popping up all the time.
