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 download photos to ipad

, now you can enjoy more 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.
