You must understand how to control the iPad to get the most out of it. You have to get to know the machine inside and out, and really learn how to work its magic. The following article was composed for every iPad owner looking to get the most from their awesome little gadget, so keep reading!

Watch how much money you spend on apps. When you have this device, it can be easy to pay a lot of money, just because it stores your payment details and you can easily click to buy. Make sure you monitor how much you spend.

Does your email notification drive you crazy? You can get rid of this feature, if you find it annoying. Just go to Settings then General. Tap on the Sounds option. Turn off sounds for New Mail or reduce the volume.

If you need Google Calendar to work with your iPad, get into your mail and then contacts followed by calendars. You need to go to the area that allows you to add an additional account, then hit Other. Use the Add CalDAV icon to input your information for Google. Then, get out of the settings app and tap the calender app. Your information should now be there!

Are you distracted by the battery charge measurements that you see on your iPad screen? This can be simply turned off. Begin by entering the menu for your Settings. Go to your General settings and locate Usage. Under this menu, you can easily switch off your battery percentage display.

Muting the iPad is fast and easy. The original iPad didn't have a mute button. The iOS 4.3 allowed its users to utilize the switch-lock. To do a quick mute on your iPad now, press and hold down your volume-down button.

The cloud function is great to use if you love to play around on the internet. This is a convenient method of storing information without using up valuable hard drive space. Put anything that you think is important on your cloud, in addition to keeping it on your tablet.

Like most computers and electronics, the new iPad comes with pre-installed apps that are of no use to you. Some of these cannot be deleted. You can put them in a folder and location where they won't be in your way. That allows you to concentrate on what you want.

You may be tempted to hold your iPad by its sides when you take pictures. Doing this can cause the camera button to become difficult to reach and can hinder your ability to get the perfect shot. To get around this issue, use the orientation lock instead. This feature will cause the button to remain within thumb's reach. After you take the photograph, you can rotate the image with an image editor.

While it may seen unnecessary, you must place some kind of security feature on an iPad. You don't know when you could lose it by accident and someone could find it and access your bank information, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc.

Some people are annoyed by the battery charge indicator that is always onscreen. However, you can get it off of your screen rather simply. Simply go into the Settings menu, tap on General, and look under Usage. You can turn the battery charge gauge off here. If, at a later time, you want to enable it again, follow the same procedure.

Do your eyes feel like they are straining when you read on the iPad? To remedy this, dim the screen's brightness while you read. You can go to Settings to lower the brightness, or you can simply go to the eBook app and use the brightness slider.

Is your iPad screen getting scratched? The iPad is tough, but over time, screens inevitably suffer from those small scratches. It may be about time for a screen protector. This protects both your iPad and your fingers.

Do you want your iPad to stop asking to join Wi-Fi networks? These can easily be turned off. You can turn off this feature by accessing the Wi-Fi settings. Do not worry if you would still like to join a particular network. You can; however, you are not going to get a million notifications.

The advice above will help you take your iPad experience to a whole new level. You will find that becoming familiar with the different features and apps of your iPad will help you a lot in many of your daily tasks.
