Advice To Help You Get The Most Out Of Your IPad
The awesome iPad technology is only able to work when you can control it correctly. You must know all the details of the device, as well as how it works. Keep reading to become an advanced iPad user.

Try to keep track of what apps you leave running when you are not using them. Many different iPad applications can continue processing information in the background and do not disturb the user. If you aren't sure what you have left open, push the home button twice. The apps which are currently running appear in the bar located low on your screen. When you are finished with this area, swipe down and the bar will be gone.

Have you accidentally launched a noisy app? You can quickly turn the sound down by holding down the "vol -" button until it is muted. If you are using iOS 4.3 or later, it is possible to make the toggle switch near the volume control mute your iPad.

If you want to review a photo or video you just shot, you do not have to select the camera icon on the bottom left of the screen. Rather, you can swipe with one finger toward the right, and there is your video or picture! To view previous photos you have taken, just keep swiping multi gadget insurance to the left.

Change your settings so that you can preview more than two lines of an email in your inbox. Go to the Mail menu under Settings and choose "Preview." Switch this to show more text; perhaps five lines. Now you can see more of each email in your inbox, speeding up the skimming process.

If privacy is a big concern for you, you can set the iPad to erase its data if too many login attempts fail in a row. Doing so will completely wipe your phone after 10 attempts.

Want to put in the Google Calender on the iPad calendar app? Simply navigate to Mail, Contacts, and calendars. Then just Add An Account, choosing Other. Select the icon 'Add CalDAV Account, and enter your Google information. Once done, click the calendar app. All of the information from your Google Calendar should now be at your fingertips.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

If you do not want Google used as your default search engine you can change that. Just navigate to the Settings button, then you can switch it to Safari if you wish. You can then switch to Yahoo or Bing if you like them better than Google.

Hate having to tap the Bookmarks icon whenever you are wanting to visit your go-to sites? Simply enable your bookmarks bar on a permanent basis to keep your favorite websites a click away. Turn the Always Show Bookmark bar option on in your Settings menu.

Do you want to get to your most popular apps as fast as possible? Press the home button twice and a bar will appear with all the running apps. This is a good way to quickly access an app instead of scrolling on your screen to find the apps you need.

An iPad is an amazing musical tool, but are you aware of the podcasts? Podcasts are radio programs that last anywhere from two minutes to two hours, and they can be on all sorts of topics. These programs can be a great alternative to listening to music while you commute. There are so many topics that you're sure to find one that you find interesting.

Some of the applications that come loaded on your iPad may be useless to you. Many of these apps cannot be deleted. Make a folder to store all these useless apps out of the way. This frees up space so that you can easily access apps you actually use.

You can use iPad to listen to iTunes. There is a simple way to access your iTunes account without having to reinvent the wheel on your new device. Just go to iTunes and enable Home Sharing for your iPad. In the iPad's Music app, click on More and then Shared. Now you can start listening.
