Everything You Want To Know About The IPad

If you are a mother, doctor, student or even a bum, there is a use for the iPad for you. It can do so much, but many people don't know about all the features. Check out this article to get some of the insider tips and tricks and maximize your iPad.

Pay close attention to the apps that you run on your iPad. You can run many iPad's apps in the back while you are doing other things. To learn what is active on your iPad at any given time, give the Home button a double click. The currently running apps will appear on a bar. This will be located at the bottom. After you see what is running, close the bar by swiping downward.

You don't need to click the camera icon on your screen to view your photos. Try using one finger for swiping to the right to get to your video or photo. To view past pictures, swipe to the left.

If you're battery is draining fast than you'd like, turn off some notifications and location based items. Your iPad is constantly monitoring where you are (as long as it's on wifi, 3G, or LTE). This monitoring sucks the life out of your battery. If you don't need the features, then you can extend your battery time with a few flicks of a button.

Do you want to prevent your iPad from automatically syncing when you hook it up to your computer? That is easy to accomplish. Make sure you are in iTunes, then hold down the Shift-Control or Command-Option buttons when you plug the iPad in. If you forget to do that step, then just swipe, the unlock during the sync, and it will stop.

If you want to secure your iPad's backups, you can do it by opening your iPad in iTunes, going to the summary tab and choosing Encrypt Data. That way, you will have all of your information safe in case something happens, and you lose all the information on your iPad.

Put an end to WiFi connect messages. Tired of being notified every time you stray into a WiFi zone? In the Wi-Fi section of Settings, there is an option to turn off "Ask to Join Networks." You can still manually join any network, the iPad will just stop notifying you of every time one is in range.

Do you have multiple users on the same iPad? You may not want them to view your online history. You can delete the browser history quickly. Open the Settings app and tap on Safari. Once Safari is open, then tap on the Clear History button. This will clear the cache and all cookies.
