Tips for all the iPad Users

Rate this Entry
Just continue talking about the iPad tips.
A mobile device has changed the ways you interact with the computer.The iPad has turned out to be a handy and wildly popular device--and has even improved some users' lives around the globe. These tips and tricks might be of interest to you and come in handy especially when you've just got an iPad in your hand. I have updated it with a real lot more content now.

Stop asking to join Wi-Fi networks
If you're fed up of getting bugged by messages asking if you'd like to join this or that Wi- Fi network all the time then head to Settings, Wi-Fi and turn off Ask to Join Networks. You can still join any network that will have you from this same screen, it just won't bug you constantly when the opportunity arises.

Double Tap for Music
Listening to music and you want to switch to the next song without exiting the app you're in. Double tap the Home button and just like the iPod touch and iPhone, an iPod controller will appear. Skip to the next song or launch the iPod app from there.

Home Sharing
First, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes (Advanced menu) and on your iPad (Settings > iPod and enter your Apple ID). Next, launch the iPod app on your iPad. In the left column, find the little house with "Library" next to it. Tap on that and then on one of the Shared Libraries. It might take a few minutes to update, but then you can watch and listen to all of that Library's media on your iPad. To transfer music from pc to ipad, you’ll need help to do that with a third part software.

Rearrange Your Search Results
When doing a global search on the iPad, the default results display is to put contacts first. If you'd rather have apps or songs or even podcasts first, you can adjust the results by navigating to Settings>General>Home>Search Results. Tap and hold on the three light grey bars to the right of an item, then drag it up and down to suit your needs.

Reinstall Misbehaving Apps
If an app is still acting wonky, even after a hard reset, it's a good idea to reinstall it. Make sure you have a copy of the app on the computer you sync you iPad to. On the iPad hold down on the app until it gets the jiggles. Click the X that appears above it and delete it. Sync your iPad and be sure to include the offending app. Unless the app is just buggy by design, you should be good to go.

Safari Quick Scroll
Need to get back to the top of a webpage? Tap the menu bar to zoom back up to the top. Just like the iPhone.

My Old iPod/iPhone Dock Stuff
Bad news, we couldn't the iPad to work with some of our old iPod /iPhone dock stuff. Obviously, it wouldn't fit in some, but in others it just gave us a warning that the product wasn't made for the iPad. We even tried hooking it up to our car stereo via the dock connection. Maybe a software update will allow us to dock in the future.

AirPlay: Stream movies, photos and music
Whenever you see the AirPlay icon on your iPad it means you can stream whatever media you're viewing to your Apple TV, which is usually connected to your living room TV. All you need to do is tap the AirPlay icon (which looks like a rectangle with a triangle in it) and it starts playing automatically. Or you can use the best ipad converter convert all your DVD movies and video files to iPad friendly formats.

Take an iPad screenshot
You can take a screenshot on your iPad by pressing Home and then the Sleep/Wake button. The screen will flash and you'll hear a click, indicating that a photo has been taken. Your screen shots are saved automatically in your Photos gallery. Here, you can view or email them as you see fit.

Double Tap to Swipe
Swiping your finger across the screen to move from one home screen to another can wear you out. Instead, double tap on the right or left hand side of the iPad screen right above the dock. Whoosh, you're transported to the next screen.

Bookmarks Bar Always On
If you're a slave to bookmarks bar, having it on all the time is a life saver. To leave the bookmarks bar on all the time while surfing with Safari.Go to Settings>Safari there you'll see Always Show Bookmarks Bar. Turn it on.

Actually, whether you're a novice or consider yourself an iPad pro, there will always be tips and tricks that are worth learning. For more iPad tips, check out this blog at irregular intervals. Success is the sum of details.
