Tips To Make Your Ipad Work For You

By Abbey Deromer


Almost everyone is familiar with tablets, specifically iPads. If you are not an iPad owner yet, you have no idea what you are missing. There are quite a few ways to use your iPad and it doesn't matter what you're using it for. Check out this article to see some of the hidden tricks.

You can access all of your running apps on your iPad. Simply double-click the Home button. A bar near the bottom of the screen will indicate which apps are in use. You may switch to another running app, just by tapping that app in that bar. Swipe downwards to hide the bar again.

If you are tired of being prompted to join various Wi-Fi networks, change your settings. There is a tab you can select to stop your iPad from asking you to join networks. Once set to no, you won't be nagged again.

If you are irritated by repeated request to join other Wi-Fi networks, get into your settings menu and change it. Look for the option which gives you the choice of joining networks. Choose that and this will no longer pop up.

You may be annoyed by the chiming whenever you get an email. Were you aware that this feature can be disabled? Tap on "Settings", and then select "General". Then select Sounds. In this area, you will be able to adjust your sound settings for NEW MAIL.

Shortcuts will help you send messages quickly. You can add a full stop and a space by tapping on the space button twice. This lets you avoid doing it manually and you can send many more messages to friends.

To add your Google Calendar to your iPad calendar app, select Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Select Add an Account, then tap Other. Choose Add CalDAV Account and enter your Google information. After you've done this, leave the settings, then tap the calendar app. Everything you needed should be visible.

Does it seem like a pain to tap on the bookmarks icon every time you want to access your favorite websites? Remedy this by having the bookmarks bar turned on permanently. In Settings, open Safari and select the option to always show the bookmarks bar. Simply turn it on.

Set up your FaceTime emails and phone numbers. The email that was used to set up the iPad will be used by default on FaceTime, but it is possible to add others. To add more emails or phone numbers to FaceTime, utilize the settings on iPad.

The iPad is great for music, but are you aware of podcasts? Podcasts are short radio programs that can last anywhere from a few minute to a few hours, and are available on pretty much every imaginable topic. If music is something you have had enough of lately, give some podcasts a try. It is almost inevitable that you will find something that you like.

Having read this article, you can now take full advantage of all that your iPad has to offer. This mobile device is truly versatile! Keep your education on this device up-to-date so you're always aware of what is going on. You are able to download plenty of apps that are new every single day.
