Few things are more exciting than getting a new iPad. However, it can
be really frustrating to figure out how to optimize your use of it. The
following article will detail some interesting tips and tricks on using
your new iPad more effectively, and just how to have more fun with it
in general.
The user reviews are generally incredibly accurate in
representations of the quality of the application. Of course, you need
to make sure that there are more than just one or two reviews, but if
there are, and if the app has four or five stars, you should be good to
go.
Your iPad will now support a VPN connection. You just need to
configure it first. Start by going to your Settings menu. Look under
General to find Network. Choose the VPN and switch that slider to On.
You can then add the VPN configuration using your account details and
server.
Turn off your Wi-Fi when not in use. Your iPad will
constantly search for Wi-Fi signals even when you don't want it to. That
is, if your Wi-Fi is turned on. When you are out and about and don't
need Wi-Fi, simply turn it off. It will extend your battery.
You
must know how to take care of your iPad properly. Start by keeping it
away from direct sunlight and do not leave it inside a hot car. The
battery will begin to degrade in extreme heat. Avoid placing it near
liquids. Finally, be sure that you have a cover that can protect your
iPad from scratches and other dangers.
Make sure you set up your
browser's auto fill settings on your iPad. Go to Safari's Settings menu
and select AutoFill. Once you are there, you can enable Safari to
automatically fill forms using your contact information. You can also
select an option to automatically remember your login IDs and passwords
for websites you visit frequently.
Using AirPrint, you can print
straight from your iPad, as long as you have a compatible printer.
AirPrint works with most newer HP printers. If you have a Mac, you can
use the Printopia app to print to any Mac printer. To use AirPrint,
simply go to the share menu and choose print--that's it!
Let your
children play with the iPad. Because the functions run on a touch
screen, even small toddlers can have fun with it. This is a great way to
introduce the computer to your young children. Watch how they use this
tool, and you will be amazed at how quickly they learn on it.
Use
the available space on your dock. It comes with four things on it, but
it can hold two additional items. Simply push on an icon until you see
it wiggle around and then pull it to your dock. Do this for anything
that you use very often, as having it readily accessible makes your life
easier.
An iPad is truly exciting to own, but only if you can
figure out how to make use of its numerous features and fancy apps.
Hopefully this article has given you some great ideas on how to really
get into this fantastic little machine and make the most of it. Enjoy!
