How To Be Productive With Your Ipad

By Fritz Mosen


Every new gadget in technology is fun to have, but there is something extra special about an iPad. If you are the proud new owner of an iPad, you need to know how to navigate it and master its use. The following article will help you to do just that.

If you cannot find where your iPad is, you can find it from iCould. Go to your Settings and then iCloud. Enter your ID number that Apple provided you and then select Find My iPad. As long as you are connected to a network somewhere, you will be able to locate your iPad.

Have you wondered how to utilize the copy and paste feature? All you have to do is tap on the screen and hold your finger down, pressing select, choosing the text, and then pressing the copy icon. Next, switch to the app you would like to paste the text, and then tap and hold down on the screen once again, selecting paste as you do this.

You want to make the most of your iPad screen, so setting up the appearance of just about everything is important. Have you found that you would like your battery charging icon to not be there? You can eliminate this icon by going to your settings, tapping general, and then turning it off in the usage section.

If you will not be using the Internet for some time while on your iPad, take advantage of airplane mode. Airplane mode will essentially shut off your Internet, and this helps to reduce your battery usage. The Internet is a large draw on your battery usage, so using airplane mode can mean that you can use your device longer without having to plug it in.

Do you want to enable restrictions on your iPad? If so, go to settings, then general, then restrictions, and finally, enable restrictions. This is effective for your game center, content, apps and much more. To disable in-app purchases, all you have to do is go to the "allowed content" setting and disable "in-app" purchases.

If you have some recently purchased apps from the app store you want to hide, it's quite easy! Open up the App Store and click on the 'purchased' tab on the bottom of your screen. It should give you a list of apps and choose the one you wish to hide. Swipe over the app or right over it, and it should now grey out over the 'installed' button. A red button will pop up and you will now have the option to hide the app.

If you are worried that a four digit passcode is not enough to keep your iPad secure, you can opt for a longer one. You can go into your settings and change it so that you can use as many characters as you would like. This is useful if you know there is a chance someone you know will guess any four digit code you choose.

The iPad is a wonderfully portable device, but always be sure to store it correctly. Keep your iPad away from excessive heat or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Heat and sunlight can seriously diminish your battery life, and thereby decrease the amount of time you can use your iPad before you have to plug it in.

Hold a single button down and you're now able to select an entire word or phrase from an application. There are several options, including copy, paste, delete, or replace. With the replace function, you can type a new word, and the old selection will be exchanged. You can now easily edit large mistakes or misplaced words.

Considering how many features the iPad is equipped with, it's no wonder people need guidance when trying to master it. Hopefully this article has given you some great information to go on. You are now ready to dive into your new iPad and see what all the fuss is about!
