11 iPad Tips and Tricks!!!

Yes, the Apple iPad.

Most, if not many of you have already heard of the magnificent iPad. Steve’s baby – as some may recall.

Here are a couple of tips and tricks I’ve learned while playing with it for a couple hours.

Tip #1: The dock can support up to six (6) apps!

Tip #2: You can mute your iPad by holding down the down volume control button.

Tip #3: Double tapping the space bar will insert a period followed by a space.

Tip #4: You can get rid of the keyboard by tapping the keyboard button on the bottom right corner of the on-screen keyboard.

Tip #5: The iPad can support up to 11 app pages (i.e. the dots at the bottom of the app page.)

Tip #6: Tap the groups ribbon on the Contacs app to filter your contacts by group.

Tip #7: In the Maps app, tap and hold anywhere on the map to drop a pin.

Tip #8: In the iBooks app, you can tap and hold to select a word and when you “Bookmark” it, it actually highlights the words you’ve just selected.

Tip #9: Double-tapping a word selects it.

Tip #10: Let’s say you’ve reordered every app on your iPad and decided that you want to go back to its original state? You can now reset specific parts of your iPad from your Home Screen – resets the built-in apps of your iPad to its original first-page location, reset your network settings – in case you want your iPad to forget every network it was previously connected to including the one you’re in, reset the location warnings, reset your keyboard dictionary and last and finally, to reset all.

Tip #11: If you’ve paired your bluetooth keyboard with your iPad, chances are, you’ll have noticed the on-screen keyboard disappear. Whenever you’re not using your keyboard anymore, and wants to regain the on-screen keyboard, you can always turn the bluetooth keyboard off by holding down the power button for a couple seconds.
