Jumping Into Tablet Technology With The IPad

By Candelaria Darting


iPad's are fragile, astounding little gadgets. They provide such exceptional utility in a tiny, light frame. How can one make their iPad as useful as possible? Well, this article is a great place to start, as the advice below is truly some of the best available, so read on to learn more.

When you first purchased your iPad, pages loaded quickly. Now, you are noticing your machine is not as snappy in it responses as it used to be. Over time, the installation of data and apps will slow down your iPad. To keep your iPad at optimum speed, periodically review the information and apps you have installed and delete those that are no longer being used. By doing this, your iPad will become snappier in its response again.

If your iPad turn by turn directions are too soft or loud, change them in settings. Some people may need a little extra volume for these directions, while others like them softer. No matter your need, you can make adjustments right in your iPad settings. You can even turn off the voice if you don't want it.

Use Folders. You can now put folders on your iPad. Simply press down on one icon until it begins to jiggle, and then place it "on top" of another icon. You will then create a folder that includes both of those icons. This can be a quick way to organize all of the things you have on your iPad.

Go into your settings, navigate to "general" and slide the side switch to "lock orientation." Typically, this is set to mute, but that can be incredibly inconvenient. For example, if you are trying to read on your iPad, the screen may continuously rotate, causing you some frustration. Fix this ahead of time.

A great feature of the iPad is the zoom features. You can easily zoom in and out of any website by pinching with two fingers on the screen. This will help you select tiny links or features when they are larger. You can also double-tap on any image or text to enable auto-zoom.

Safari continues to reward its faithful iPad users with new features and tricks, such as the ability to instantly clear your previous browsing history. The option has been moved into the main menu, and the entire cache can be cleared in only a moment's notice. It's important that data can be quickly removed when necessary and iPad users finally have this ability.

Be sure that you only use official iPad accessories with your iPad. Accessories made by other companies have been shown to slow the device and even cause permanent damage at times. Even though the Apple accessories are more expensive than other options they are cheaper than having to replace your iPad altogether.

Before allowing your children to use your iPad, restrict access to adult content. Under Settings, navigate to General and then to Restrictions. Select the Enable Restrictions option. This setting can protect young eyes and ears from explicit language and mature content in apps, games, podcasts, movies, TV shows and more.

You can use Google Maps as an alternative to a GPS, even though there is no built-in satellite navigation in your iPad. Launch Google Maps and do a search for directions. You only have to enter your destination and your iPad will automatically figure out your current location. You will then have access to step by step directions.

In conclusion, some people use their iPad for fun and others use it for their professional life. No matter what the case is for you, you need to know everything you can about the iPad to truly take advantage of this wonderful advice. Use the tips this article has provided you with to do just that.
