Learn What You Need To Know About Your Ipad With These Tips

By Abbey Deromer


Almost everyone is familiar with tablets, specifically iPads. If you are not an iPad owner yet, you have no idea what you are missing. There are quite a few ways to use your iPad and it doesn't matter what you're using it for. Check out this article to see some of the hidden tricks.

You can access all of your running apps on your iPad. Simply double-click the Home button. A bar near the bottom of the screen will indicate which apps are in use. You may switch to another running app, just by tapping that app in that bar. Swipe downwards to hide the bar again.

You can easily see what apps are running on your iPad. Many of the apps the iPad runs are able to stay in the background when you're doing other things. If you would like to view the current apps that are running, double click the Home icon. This will show you the current apps at the bottom. Swipe your finger in a downward motion to close the window.

If you are irritated by repeated request to join other Wi-Fi networks, get into your settings menu and change it. Look for the option which gives you the choice of joining networks. Choose that and this will no longer pop up.

A lot of people find it hard to type on tablets, but it gets easier the more you do it. Alternately, you can use the speech dictation feature of iPad. Hit the home button before tapping on the small microphone. After you finish dictating, tap the microphone icon again, and you will see the text version of your dictation.

You can change the default search engine to something besides Google if you wish. In the Settings menu, pick Safari, then Search Engine. You have the choice of switching the search engine to something more user-friendly if you would like.

To add your Google Calendar to your iPad calendar app, select Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Select Add an Account, then tap Other. Choose Add CalDAV Account and enter your Google information. After you've done this, leave the settings, then tap the calendar app. Everything you needed should be visible.

Does it seem like a pain to tap on the bookmarks icon every time you want to access your favorite websites? Remedy this by having the bookmarks bar turned on permanently. In Settings, open Safari and select the option to always show the bookmarks bar. Simply turn it on.

Isn't it irritating when you encounter a hyperlink on your iPad, and you are unable to determine where it will take you? Here's an easy tip to solve this problem. Since hovering over a word isn't possible, you'll need to press and hold the hyperlinked word. That will show you the URL from the hyperlink.

The iPad is great for music, but are you aware of podcasts? Podcasts are short radio programs that can last anywhere from a few minute to a few hours, and are available on pretty much every imaginable topic. If music is something you have had enough of lately, give some podcasts a try. It is almost inevitable that you will find something that you like.

What you've read makes the iPad truly appealing. You'll find that they improve everything you do daily on your iPad. Keep this article handy for future reference.
