Sometimes you will get a frustrating wifi-network prompt during the day. You're able to turn off this feature through the settings menu. Just go to the tab for Wi-Fi, and there is an option to turn off the prompt. It is the final option on that page.

Are you sick of your iPad asking you to become part of a Wi-Fi network? Then go to settings and eliminate the possibility. Go to Settings and opt for the Ask to Join Network option. By selecting that, you'll no longer receive all of the invites.

You don't have to tap the camera roll icon that's in the bottom-left of your screen to see a video or photo you've just taken. All you have to do is swipe the screen right and your video or picture will appear. To see the other photos, keep swiping left.

It is possible to expand the amount of preview text you get for emails. Visit "settings" followed by "mail" and find the "preview" setting. Change the setting to 5 lines. You will now see more lines of the email while in the inbox.

If you're worried about people trying to access your data, you can fix your iPad to erase your data if there are a certain number of failed attempts. If they don't get it right, the iPad is factory fresh again.

A lot of people find it hard to type on tablets, but it gets easier the more you do it. However, the iPad does have a button for speech dictation. Press the home button of your iPad twice and select the microphone icon that appears. Once you've finished with your message, tap the icon once more to have your words converted into text.

Use shortcuts to make sending messages a breeze. You can finish up a sentence by tapping twice on the space bar to add a period and a space. This will make your typing much more efficient, allowing you to get more done and text more quickly.

Does the battery charge icon distract you on your iPad screen? If, so you can turn it off. To begin, enter the menu for your Settings. Locate the Usage setting under the General settings. This menu provides an option for turning off the battery monitor information and clearing the screen.

There is a safeguard to losing your iPad in place. In Settings, you will find an option that says iCloud. Put in your Apple ID,and on the bottom of the screen where it says "Find My iPad," turn it on. With this on, if you do lose the ipad, you can go to iCloud.com to find where it is located.

If you bought the iPad for your child and are concerned about them seeing mature content, you can change the settings to block that kind of content. Under the settings function, simply limit the mature content that can be viewed. This lets you block any adult content you don't want available.

FaceTime phone numbers and emails should be set up. FaceTime, by default, can include your iPad's set up email, but you may add more. Go to the settings of your iPad and add the email addresses and phone numbers you want to see on FaceTime.

Do you download podcasts yet? These are radio programs ranging from 2 minutes to 2 hours about any type of subject. If music is failing to hold your interest, see if podcasts are for you. You are likely to find a subject that fascinates you.

For anyone who has used an iPad, there is no denying how incredible it truly is. In order to really use the iPad to your advantage, you should learn all you can about it. Using the advice offered above, you are now ready to put your iPad to full use.
