Is clicking the Bookmarks button driving you nuts? You can eliminate this annoyance by turning the bookmarks bar on permanently. To turn on, go to the Safari settings and click Show Bookmarks Bar.

The iPad lets you see 2 lines of an email before viewing it in full. This can often help to see content before opening the email. To change this, navigate to the mail tab of the settings menu. Next tap on Contacts, then Calendar, and then change the options.

You can set your iPad to preview five lines of a single email. Go to the Mail menu under Settings and choose "Preview." Select the number of lines you'd like to see. This way, you can view more of the email, speeding up your skim-through process.

Open pages in new tabs in order to keep several open at the same time. If you use Safari, tap the link and hold it until the menu option becomes visible. This menu gives you the option to make a new tab for the link.

If you want to mute the volume on the iPad, try this. Simply hold down the 'volume down' button for two seconds. This is a lot easier than constantly adjusting the volume controls. Make sure you hold it again when you want the volume turned back down.

If you are wanting to do a fast copy and paste, simply select and hold the text and tap the Select button. After clicking copy, you can go into another application and place your finger down where you would like the text to go. A menu comes up and you can press paste. For an entire paragraph, you must tap four times.

If you've got kids and you're worried about what they can watch on your iPad, change the block controls on your device. There is an option in the settings that lets you block this kind of content. This lets you block any adult content you don't want available.

Go to general, then usage. This option will give you the ability to erase this percentage indicator. When you want it back, do the steps in reverse.
