Do you enjoy games? Are you a student at this point of your life? Do you currently work hard at your job? Trying to drop unwanted pounds? Having children? You probably didn’t know that your iPad can help with all of these things. There is quite literally an application for everything you want, but the iPad does more. The following piece will give you helpful advice so you can use your iPad effectively and efficiently.
Are tired of having your iPad constantly ask you whether or not you wish to connect with detected WiFi network. This feature can be turned off in your settings. If you don’t want to be prompted again, just select Wi-Fi and the final page option to turn it off.
If you are irritated by repeated request to join other Wi-Fi networks, get into your settings menu and change it. An option that asks you if you want to join networks exists and it can be changed. Choose that and this will no longer pop up.
In your inbox, you may want to see more than the first few lines. Go to settings – mail – preview to change it. Adjust this to show 5 lines. This ensures you know what your emails say.
To keep your personal data secure in case you are concerned about unauthorized access you can configure your password so that all data will be deleted after a specified number of unsuccessful tries. Everything on your iPad will be deleted if there are 10 failed password attempts.
Click Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendars to add Google Calendar to your iPad. Navigate to Add An Account, and then tap Other. Tap on the CalDAV Account and then just enter the information for Google. Then, back out of your settings app and single-tap your calendar app. Now you should have everything you need there!
You can keep tabs open by opening new pages inside a new tab. In Safari, tap and hold that link until a menu pops up. You can choose to see the link in a second tab this way.
When setting up FaceTime on your iPad, make sure that your email and phone number is correct. Your iPad’s FaceTime includes the email you used to set it up with by default; however, it’s possible to add more addresses. If you find more emails or things like phone numbers that FaceTime should recognize, go to the settings on your iPad and set them up.
Easily find your running apps fast! All you have to do is double click your home button, and they will appear instantly at the bottom of whatever screen you are on. This can save you time when switching between apps because you don’t have to go back to the home screen and navigate to the app.
Do you ever find yourself browsing the web and wondering where a word that is hyperlinked will take you? The solution is really quite simple. True, you can’t hover like on a regular computer, but you can touch and hold on the word. You do not need to be afraid of hyperlinked text on your iPad.
The iPad is great for music, but for podcasts too! These are actually radio shows that last from a few minutes to a few hours. If you crave something a little more stimulating during your morning commute, try a podcast. Because of all the subjects that podcasts cover, you are certain to find something that interests you.
You get to choose whether the lock key silences your iPad or freezes your screen’s orientation. Please note, early iPad versions don’t have this feature. The operating system must be at least iOS 4.3. Using the volume button on the side works to mute the iPad, too.
You should use tabs to facilitate your browsing. You don’t have to leave the website you are currently on just because you want to follow a link. If you hold your finger down on the link, as opposed to tapping it, you’ll be presented with an option menu. You can then choose to open a new tab to see the link so you do not have to close the page you are viewing.
You do not have to do this if you are in a different place, this is why you can do it this way. If you tap your Home button two times, you can then swipe to get to the brightness setting. You can then adjust the amount of brightness you have.
You can control notifications. Whenever you have numerous apps, there are always notifications coming through, which can be very annoying. Just go to SETTINGS and then to NOTIFICATIONS to take control of this problem. This allows you to disable alerts from apps where instant notification isn’t necessary. Then you only get useful notifications.
Do you find reading e-books on the iPad hurts your eyes? You can fix this by lowering the brightness of your screen when you read. You can either access the brightness level in your settings or lower the brightness directly in the eBook app by using the brightness slider.
There are many groups online for iPad owners. You are able to learn a lot from people who can do this differently. You can also give people pointers that they might not have picked up on their own. You will also be able to find solutions to the technical issues you encounter with your iPad.
Kids need to be protected from the Internet. First visit your SETTINGS menu. Next, go to GENERAL. Then go to RESTRICTIONS. Once in the Restrictions, tap the Enable Restrictions option. This will ensure your child cannot view unacceptable content. You should set restrictions for all adult type content.
And now you are in possession of a solid foundation to use as a springboard to future enjoyment of your iPad. Your iPad will be with you at all times, whether it is telling you the weather or playing a song. You will discover that this device can literally do it all, which will allow you to get rid of your useless gadgets.
