Tips in Using the New iPad

Although for frequent Apple customers, using the new iPad is very much the same as how you use the

iPad 1 and 2, some Apple gadget users still need help when it comes to using the new iPad, especially

the ones who have not yet used one before. Because of all the fascinating features included in the new

iPad, many first- and second-generation iPad users sold their old iPads and bought the new one. If you

are one of them, then you might be familiar now with the iPad. However, maybe you still missed some

useful tips and tricks you never thought of using. Here are some tips in using the iPad

Creating Folders

If you want to create a folder, tap and hold on an app until it vibrates. Drag the app over another app

and release. This will create a folder for both apps. The folder is automatically named, depending on the

similarities or categories of the apps. You can also rename the folder if you want.

Deleting Data for Security

What if you lose your iPad or someone has stolen it, and it has personal or important information on it?

Well, you can enable a feature that can erase sensitive data on your iPad if an unknown user types the

passcode incorrectly ten times. Just navigate to settings, tap General then Passcode Lock, then Erase

Data.

Turning Off Battery Percentage

You can remove the battery charge percentage icon from your iPad. Navigate to Settings, then tap

General and then Usage. Turn off the icon there.

Volume Mute

For iPad 1 users, there was no mute button on the device. Better sell your old iPad now, because with

the iOS 4.3, you can now switch the lock to mute. However, it is still better if you just press and hold the

Volume down button.

Taking a Screenshot

Where is that Print-Screen button? Well, you can actually take a screenshot by pressing home and then

the Sleep/Wake button. The screen will flash which tells you that the photo of the screen was taken.

Screenshots are sent to Photo Gallery automatically. In the Gallery, you can view them or even e-mail

them if you want.

Using Multitasking Gestures

Who says you cannot multitask on the iPad? The Multitasking Gestures use four or five fingers to switch

between apps, bringing up the multitasking bar. You can also close an app and go back to Home. Turn

them on in Settings, then General.

Turning On the Caps Lock

Want to type in all block letters? If you just want to have one capital letter, just tap a shift key, then the

letter. But of course, if the whole sentence is in capital letters, then that would be hard. Turn on the

caps lock by double tapping a shift key.

Copying and Pasting

It is very easy to copy and paste on a personal computer, but then how is it done on the iPad? You can

just tap and hold down a text, and then choose Select to select the portion of text you want to copy. Tap

Copy and then go to a different app and tap and hold down again. A menu will appear. Click Paste.

If you want to select an entire paragraph, tap on it four times.

Replacing a Word

Have you ever mis-typed a very long word and realized that it would take time to continuously tap the

Backspace button? Well, just hold down on the word, choose Select then you will see an option which

says “Replace.” Tap that option and you will see alternative words that have same spellings. This will

quickly correct typographical errors.

There you go. Now you have some basic tips on using the new iPad. These tips can also be used for older

generations.
