Want The Most From Your IPad? Try These Tips!
Sales of the iPad are still skyrocketing and not without reason. They give people a lot of features, can be enjoyable to use, and are great at making life more easy. You must be properly educated about iPad usage in order to maximize its potential. This article is filled with great iPad usage tips and advice, so read on to learn more.

When you use your iPad for listening to music, playing games, or streaming movies, your battery life will be significantly decreased. Lowering the brightness on the screen can prolong the life of the battery. You do not always need a very bright screen to use your iPad.

The iPad can use VPN networks for accessing servers in a remote location. This can be activated from the network tab under settings. Then, you'll need to put in a username and your server address. If you don't know what the server address is, contact the network administrator.

Do you want to preview more of your email? In your Settings menu, click on Mail, and then find the Preview setting. Change this setting to show however many lines you want. Now it is possible to preview more content from each message, making skimming quicker.

If you do not have much time, do not use your iPhone's charger to charge your iPad. This is because iPads have higher wattage requirements than iPhones. If you try to use an iPhone charger, you'll have to wait a very long time for it to fully charge. Use the proper iPad charger.

People often make mistakes when typing on tablets, which leads to interesting typos in the resulting messages. There is a button that allows you to do speech dictation. Just press home button two times and tap the little microphone you see. After you finish dictating, tap the microphone icon again, and you will see the text version of your dictation.

The iPad doesn't come with a manual. You must download one if you require it. Apple is not providing a manual with every product to encourage customers to download a manual rather than wasting paper.

If you want to quickly mute your iPad, just follow this simple step. Just hold the - volume button for a few seconds. That's faster than adjusting the volume repeatedly. Press it down when you want the volume to go back to normal.

iPads are expensive, so take good care of yours. You can use a clear cover to protect your screen. These are thin plastic and give heightened protection to the screen area of the iPad. When cleaning your iPad's screen, use soft cloths that are just barely damp. Don't use window cleaner or other household cleaning supplies.

You will find that iPads now have an easy way to be muted. The original iPad http://decorouschamber231.blogs.experienceproject.com/3780074.html didn't have a specific mute button. The iOS 4.3 allowed its users to utilize the switch-lock. If you want to mute the sound, just hold down the volume-down button.

If you want to copy text quickly, just press and hold the text to be copied. Next, choose "copy" from the popup memu. After that, go to the place where you want to paste the text and hold again. This will cause a menu to pop up which will allow you to paste. If you want to copy and paste a complete paragraph, tap four times.

iCloud is an exceptional utility for iPad users who are always online. You can use the cloud to store files and information so that you leave your iPad storage free and clear. Store documents that are important on both the iPad and the cloud.

If you are finding mastering your new iPad a bit challenging, join an online forum. The Internet is full of websites where people share their knowledge of the iPad. Sign up and talk to the member for information that will help you become an expert user.

When you take photos, don't fall into the trap of holding the device by the sides. Doing so will make the shutter button move around, causing wobbly pictures. To get around this issue, use the orientation lock instead. The shutter button will be easier to access since it will be near your thumb. You can edit your image or videos after recording them.

Use tabs to multi-task your experience with web browsing. For example, there are ways to keep a page you are viewing when you want to open a link. Holding the link versus tapping it can bring up your options menu. Select "Open Link in New Tab" and you'll be able to go back whenever you wish.

It is always wise to secure your iPad. You could lose it accidentally at any time, and it stores a great deal of sensitive information, such as phone numbers, emails, addresses and maybe even bank account information.

Read up on iPad forums. Here, you will learn a thing or two. It is a chance for you to let others know about things you have learned to do with it. You will also be able to find solutions to the technical issues you encounter with your iPad.

Is Google's search lacking for you? There is a way that you can change this. Access the Settings, choose Safari and then Search Engine. A list will display with the search engines that you can choose from. Your choices will be Bing, Yahoo or Google.

Has linking your iPad to a TV been something you have wanted to do? You can if you get the right adapter. You can use a VGA Apple adapter or also a digital AV adapter. Either works for your purpose.

Has your iPad started to slow down and become a bit clunky when loading applications? Is your iPad still slow, even though you have deleted everything that you are no longer using? Start storing less important data or pictures on the cloud. This gets your iPad back up to speed.
