Following along list of all possible tricks and tips that can make you doanything with your iPad you want.
Audio/Music Tips:
1. Though the iPad has nice sound quality, some nice speakers (while you are sitting in your room) or decent earphones (no matter wherever you are) will surely enhance your audio experience.
2. A number of audio setting options are available for you to choose what you like the most. Go to “iPod” in“Settings” and look into the “EQ”. You will see a long list of audio options like Loudness, Small Speakers, Lounge, Dance etc. From here, you can check the option of your own choice. This is another way in which you can augment your audio experience.
3. It is infuriating to have no dedicated “Mute” button on such a nice machine! But here is the solution you need in order to suddenly mute the volume. Press the “Volume Down” button and hold it there; it will result in muted sound. As simple as this!
4. If you want to attain more space for your songs, you can convert your audio files to a format that covers less space.
Video Tips:
5. If you want to enjoy your HD videos on a big screen; you will need to acquire the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter.
6. At times, you might want to watch the web videos in full screen mode. Well, this is quite possible. All you have to do is flick with 2 fingers, and your video will go Full Screen. Whenever you need to go back to browsing, flick back.
7. If you wish to see a YouTube video in full screen mode, just double tap the video and it will fill up your whole screen.
Battery Tips:
Good news! Your iPad is a wonderful gadget that has a nice battery backup time; 10 hours. Still if you want to know about some tips and tricks to enhance your iPad’s battery life, I have chosen some ways that can help you in this regard.
8. You can keep the brightness level as low as you can handle; this will save the battery.
9. Wireless options (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) take the battery as their favourite drink. Turn those off when you are not working on the internet or when the iPad is not paired with any Bluetooth device.
10. Charging the empty battery of an iPad takes 3-4 hours. This is why it is best to charge it in nights.
11. Keeping your iPad directly under sun or in hot environment will affect its battery life adversely. Keep it cool!
12. 3G consumes way more battery than the Wi-Fi! Try sticking to the latter if you need your iPad’s battery to long last.
13. Turning off or reducing the Push notifications will also save some juice.
Display Tips:
14. If you want your iPad’s screen to stay clean of smudges, it is better to keep a cleaning cloth with you at every moment.
15. IPad works very nicely being a picture frame. You can Picture Frame mode on your gadget and it will show your selected photos in a slide show preview. Go to Settings and Picture Frame; from where you can handle the settings related to the slide show.
16. Nothing is perfect! You might buy an iPad which has white or black spots on the display screen. Check your device thoroughly for such defects, and get it exchanged if you find something like this.
17. IPad dock has 4 apps by default, and you can add 2 more to this number. The process is simple. Press any app icon on the home screen and hold it down until it shakes and drag it to the dock.
18. You can change the wallpaper of your iPad whenever you want to. Search for your required image on the internet and save it. Go to Settings and make that image your wallpaper.
Apps Tips:
19. If you have deleted an app for your iPad, don’t worry about buying it again when you need it. Go to the App Store and buy your deleted app again. You will be told that you have already bought it, and whether you want to reinstall it. Go for the reinstall if you require the app.
20. If you want to add a photo to one of your contacts, there are two ways you can do it. Either you begin with the Contacts App, pick a contact and assign a photo (after scaling and moving it) by editing; or you can go to the Photos App, select a photo and choose the option of assigning it to a contact.
21. It will be pretty useful to make more than one user accounts for the App Store, with different countries. This will give you access to certain apps which are available for one country but not for the other.
Internet Tips:
22. Safari is the default web browser in Apple iPad. It is a nice browser, but not everyone in the universe likes it. Also, Safari is not capable of performing many tasks, whereas some other browsers have the ability to do this. You might want to surf the internet via some other browser of your very own choice.
Well, you certainly can do this. Some nice options include SkyFire (Flash video, full screen browsing, private browsing, Google reader and Facebook integration), Atomic Web (private surfing, full screen browsing, 1 touch tab buttons, multi touch gesture support, ad blocking) and iCabMobile Browser (full screen browsing, private surfing, downloading, ad blocking, Google Language Translation and 1 touch tabs).
23. Google has been set as the default search engine in Safari. It is certainly the most adored search engine all around the world, but you might be a Yahoo fan! Do not worry! Google can’t keep on hindering between you and your beloved. Go to “Settings”, “Safari”, “Search Engines” and check “Yahoo” to be used as your search engine.
24. How do others feel when they keep on getting your emails with the “Sent from my iPad” signature? All of them know by now that you have bought an iPad! I think it is time you change the default words! Go the Mail menu from Settings, and edit the signature there. Be creative and unique while selecting your signature; it shows your personality.
25. If you are a podcast fan, you can get a subscription so that they get downloaded automatically. Go to iTunes and select what you want to listen to. Keep in mind that this process requires a computer with which you can sync your iPad.
26. Safari offers you the option of Autofill; automatic fill out of your web forms. Choose this option from Settings and Safari; and save your time!
27. Have you seen that “+” tab in Safari? Well, this is a pretty useful icon. If you want to bookmark a web page, this + sign is your key to do this. Also, if you want a web page to appear on your Home Screen (this might happen if you visit that page very often), this + icon will show you the option for taking this action.
28. If you wish to clear all the browsing record, go to Settings and then Safari. Here you will see the options;“Clear History”, “Clear Cookies” and “Clear Caches”. Choose whichever you think is necessary to be cleared.
29. Do you wish to open a web link in a new page instead of the same page? Click the link and hold; you will see a menu with the option of opening the link in a new page. Also, you get a useful option of copying the link.
30. Do you want to have a handy bookmark option on your Safari? Go to Safari via Settings and turn on “Always Show Bookmarks Bar.”
