The Essential iPad Tips and iPad Tricks

Hi-tech electronic products (especially all-in-one
consumer electronics) are very popular now and Apple is generally
popular. iPad essentially revolutionises the concept of a tablet
computer. It whizzes along, opening applications, re-sizing web
pages, and zooming in and out of maps almost instantaneously.
It's a great, fun gaming platform, and it's lovely to view
full-size web pages while browsing the internet. Also, the iPad
is also sleek and portable. Let's get more useful ipad tips and
tricks below.

Easy/Quick Mute

Unlike the iPhone, there's no dedicated mute switch
on the iPad.

Apple decided to make the volume buttons do double
duty. Tap them repeatedly and the volume will go up or down. But
if you press and hold the volume down button for about two
seconds, then you get a quick mute.

Download podcasts

You can search for and subscribe to podcasts so
they are downloaded automatically to your iPad. Go to iTunes,
then click Podcasts at the bottom of the screen. Search for the
one you want and select it, then select Free next to the episodes
you want. Note: to subscribe to podcasts, you need to use a PC
and sync with the iPad. Why this is true we have no idea. By the
way, here is the guide on how to

beautiful pictures.

Shut Down Your iPad For Real

When you press the power button on the iPad it
really just turns off the screen. That's whyit comes on so fast.
What you may want to do to conserve battery life or recover from
a freeze is do a reboot.

To do this just hold down both the power button and
Home button until the red slider

appears on the screen. Slide it and the iPad will
shut down. Give it a minute and then you can restart it by
pressing the power button again. It seems to take a few seconds
before it responds so be patient. And, to force quit an
application, just hold the home button by itself in a similar
fashion.

Type fast

The soft keyboard on the iPad does not work like
the inaccurate keypads on a smartphone. You may be tempted to
type slow and methodically, but no worries: you can actually type
your normal speed and the iPad, using its Apple A4 processor,
keeps up rather nicely.

Turn off email alert chimes

Are you a very popular person? Are you a member to
a lot of websites and get tons of emails daily? If so, depending
on your tolerance level for distractions, you may want to turn of
the email alert chimes on your iPad. Sure, they are a great way
to notify yourself of when a new email pops in, especially if you
were waiting on one from a special someone, but they can get
annoying. To disable the email chimes, go to
Settings>General>Sounds. Once there, you can turn the
chimes off. If they are not that distracting to you, but a little
on the loud side, you can also adjust their volume by following
the same steps.

Take an iPad screenshot

Like the iPhone, you can take a screenshot by
pressing Home and then the power button. Images are saved
automatically in the Photos gallery. Here, you can view or email
them.

Copy and Paste Text from One App to Another

Just tap and hold a word, then use your finger to
drag to select more text, and then Copy it. Go to the other
application, tap and hold in the input box, and then use Paste.
Easy!

Want to select a whole paragraph the easy way? Just
tap it 4 times to highlight the entire paragraph, then use
Copy.

But, is there any easy methods to transfer files to
iPad without iTunes? If you are a newbie for iTunes, you may find
it complexed to transfer files to iPad with iTunes. Don't want to
use iTunes to manage your iPad files and transfer media files for
iPad? Just follow the guide below to

copy files to ipad
without itunes

easily and freely.

Preview more of your emails

The iPad's Mail app defaults to previewing two
lines of each email before you click on it. Sometimes however it
would be handier to be able to see more of an email before
loading the whole thing in, especially if you are on a slow
connection. To do this open the Settings app, then click on Mail,
Contacts, Calendars and change the Preview options to add more
lines.

I'm quite good on iPads and but this gave me great
tips that I didn't know about. Now I am glad to be of
help.
