Are you confused by some of the ways that you must work your iPad? Do the double tap, page slides and zoom techniques blow your mind? If so, you may have just found the solution to your problem. Below, you will find some of the best tips and tricks to assist you in using your iPad.
Be careful about the apps that you choose to download. Some apps can be very bad for your iPad's operating system and others will drain your battery at a rediculously high rate. You can check reviews for an app before you download it right in the screen in which you would access to download it.
Did you open too many apps? You can access all your open apps by tapping on the home button of your iPad and bar will appear at the bottom of you screen. Tap the app you want to access and repeat this process later to access your other running aps.
Take Apple's iTours to get yourself familiar with your new iPad. It is fun to have all these exciting new apps, but sometimes you could use a little help figuring out how to use them. Apple has an online video tour for every app that comes preinstalled on your device, so be sure to take a look at them.
If you are one of those people that like to read a manual when you buy a new toy, you can download one onto the iPad if you need it. Their products do not include a physical manual, but the downloadable version includes in-depth information regarding all applicable uses.
Your iPad will not charge through a USB port unless you have a high power port. High power ports are usually found in the back of a desktop computer and most laptops do not have one. This also means that USB docks will not charge your iPad unless you own a powered dock.
Change the passcode on your iPad. You automatically are prompted for only a four-digit password. However, this is not as secure as you would like since this not only gets you into your iPad but also is used to encrypt your data. Therefore, go to Passcode Lock under your General Settings and turn off Simple Passcode. After that, you will be able to make the password any length you like using any keyboard characters.
Did you know that you can create folders on your iPad? Just tap any app and hold it until it starts to begin jiggling. When it does, drag the app over top of any other icon and let it go. The iPad will then make a folder for you with both of the apps involved inside.
You should now feel more comfortable and confident operating your iPad. Each of the preceding tips will help you in one way or another when it comes to the use of your iPad. Soon, it will come as second nature and you will be able to maneuver through your iPad without second thought.
