By Faustino Stavis


Without a doubt, iPads are fun to use and extremely popular. The key to getting the most out of your iPad and utilizing it to its full potential is properly educating yourself on the device and its many features. This article is loaded with iPad tips and advice. Read on to learn more.

Want a faster than light screenshot with your iPad? It's now quicker and easier than ever; simply hold down the home and power buttons simultaneously and your screenshot is instantly saved. Look for it later in the Photos App under saved photos albums. You don't have to do anything else!

You can easily zoom on an area of the web page you are viewing on your iPad by placing your pinched fingers on your screen and opening them. You can also zoom on a certain word or pictures by double-tapping on it. If you want to zoom out, place both fingers on the screen and pinch them.

By clicking two times on your iPad's Home button you can quickly view a list of the applications that are currently running. They will appear in a bar located at the bottom of your iPad's screen. If you want to change to a new app, just tap on it once. You can remove this bar by swiping the screen down.

When checking out any new applications, don't overlook free options. Many times they are just as good as the paid version, although they may include advertisements. This is also a great way to have a type of trial before purchasing the full version that doesn't have any obtrusive ads on it.

Your iPad will not charge through a USB port unless you have a high power port. High power ports are usually found in the back of a desktop computer and most laptops do not have one. This also means that USB docks will not charge your iPad unless you own a powered dock.

Multitasking gestures allow you to move quickly from app to app, pinch down to go to the home screen and open the multitasking bar. To turn this feature on, go to Settings, General and then turn on Multitasking Gestures. Be warned, though, that they don't work in all apps available.

If you own an iPad 2? If so, then you can now connect it to an HD television by utilizing an Apple VGA Adapter. You can get this from the Apple Store. In addition, the iPad 2 will support video mirroring; therefore, the entire home-screen can appear on your television.

Would you like your Google Calendar added onto the Calendar app of your iPad? If so, this is easy. Simply go to Settings. From here, navigate to Mail, Contacts, and then Calendars. When you are on Calendars, add a new account and then tap on Other. Select the Add CalDAV Account, and then input your Google Account information. Finally, get out of Settings and select your Calendar app. This provides you with your Google Calendar.

Since the iPad is a tablet, it does not come with a physical keyboard for typing. This may annoy many users who simply cannot get used to using virtual keyboards. To work around this, try connecting an Apple wireless keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard to the iPad. The iPad is easily compatible with these devices, making setup easy.

Now that you know how to take your simple iPad and make it into a real tool which provides great utility, put your knowledge to use. The more you learn, the better, so keep reading expert advice online as well. You'll make your iPad the tool you've wished it could be.
