Tips And Tricks On How To Maximize Your Ipad

When one buys an iPad, theyre expecting fireworks as they open the box. Once they turn it on, sometimes they find that the whole situation can be daunting and confusing. Getting the most out of your iPad means learning all you can about the technology and apps available, so read on for some advice.

Whenever possible, use your screen lock to prevent the iPad from switching between portrait and landscape orientation. If you repeatedly pick up and put down the device, the constant switching and adjusting will consume more battery power. You can lock the orientation under the General settings screen from your home screen.

The percentage of battery you have left is rarely accurate. You can turn this feature off by going to the general tab in your settings and tapping on usage. You will then be able to turn off the battery percentage feature. Your iPad will display a battery with a certain level of power without calculating a percentage.

Do you have an Apple TV? You should be able to stream some of the content stored on your iPad to this TV. Open the content on your iPad while you are next to your Apple TV and wait for the Airplay icon to appear. If you tap it, your content will be sent to your TV.

Turn off your Wi-Fi when not in use. Your iPad will constantly search for Wi-Fi signals even when you dont want it to. That is, if your Wi-Fi is turned on. When you are out and about and dont need Wi-Fi, simply turn it off. It will extend your battery.

You can use shortcuts for messages. All you have to do is tap on the space bar, and it will put a period and a space there. This can give you the ability to send messages in volume.

Open pages in new tabs in order to keep several open at the same time. In Safari, touch and hold the hyperlink until a menu pops up. You can choose to see the link in a second tab this way.

Back up your iPad often. Your iPad will soon be a major piece of your daily life, holding entertainment, notes, and even important documents. Make it a habit to do a back up of your iPad every night so that there is no chance that these documents will be lost forever. Remember, your iPad is still a piece of technology; it can break or brick without much warning.

Put an end to WiFi connect messages. Tired of being notified every time you stray into a WiFi zone? In the Wi-Fi section of Settings, there is an option to turn off "Ask to Join Networks." You can still manually join any network, the iPad will just stop notifying you of every time one is in range.

Do you need some help with organizing your busy schedule? Install a Google calendar on your iPad. Tap on the mail section of your settings and select calendars. Choose add a calendar, select Google as your server and enter your Google account information. Your Google calendar will then be exported to your iPad calendar.

If you have young children who will be using your iPad, you might want to restrict their access to mature content. Even by accident, it is easy for a child to access an inappropriate website unless you do this. Simply go to your settings, and then click on general. There you will find "enable restrictions." Tap on this and you will find a list of restrictions that you can select from.
