Tip #1:Shut Down Your iPad! When you press the power button on the iPad it really just turns off the screen. To recover from a “freeze-up” or to save battery power: • hold down both the power button and Home button until the red slider appears on the screen. • Slide it and the iPad will shut down. • Give it a minute and then you can restart it by pressing the power button again.
Tip #2:Add Apps to the Dock • There are four default apps in your dock at the bottom of the iPad screen. But you can actually add two more. • Tap and hold one of the app icons till it starts dancing. • Then move it on to the dock.
Tip#3: Search Using the Spotlight • Hit the home button on the home screen • Start typing and you will see contacts, emails, and Apps
Tip#4: Add Your Favorite Websites to Your Home Screen • Turning a website into a link on the home screen saves time. • Choose the rectangle with the arrow next to the url field. • Choose “Add to Home Screen” from the dropdown list.
Tip#5: Take Screenshots Using Your iPad • Click the power button on the top right corner of your iPad. • While holding that button down, click the iPad button. • After hearing the clicking sound go to the photos on your iPad!
Tip#6: Get Rid of Annoying Notifications! • Do you get messages from Apps on your iPad that you want to go away? • Select “Settings” • Select “Notifications” • Select the App you want to stop sending alerts • Turn the notifications slider to “off”.
Tip#7: Group Your App Icons • Grouping your Apps into categories keeps them from getting lost! • Touch and hold an App until it starts shaking. • Drag it to another App you want to group it with. • Give your App group a name and that’s it!
