Here are some easy tips and tricks:
- Take a picture of a screen shot: Push the top (power) and home buttons at the same time (but don't hold for long). The photo will be stored in your photo library.
- Opening More Apps: To open other apps while another app is running, simply double push the home button.
- Quit Apps: Many people don't realize that every time you open an app, it remains running. This can slow down your iPad. Once a day (or more), I close/quit the apps I have been using. To do this:
- Tap the Home button twice: a row of apps will appear on the bottom of the screen...these are all of the apps that are running.
- Touch and hold down on one app in the bottom row. A minus sign will appear. Tap the minus signs to close the apps. This will also restore apps to their home/start status...not all apps have a home button.
- Save an image on a webpage: Tap and hold on an image on any web page. You will see a prompt to save the image.
- No time to add a period to a sentence? Hit the spacebar twice (double space) and a period will be added for you.
- Connecting your iPad to a SMART Board: I do not have a SMART Board, so I can not say if this works. Click on the link above (It explains the process). Note: It looks like you need wi-fi.
- Lock the orientation of your screen: There are 2 ways:
- Use the Side Switch (near the volume button along the length-side)....NOTE: recent iOS updates defaulted this button to 'Mute' mode...if you would rather have this button lock the orientation, simply go into settings, and touch/check the "LOCK ROTATION" option under "Use Side Switch to:" category.
- Double push the Home button. Scroll all of the way to the left. Select the circle/lock button (when it is unlocked mode there is no lock, just a circle).
- From this mode you can also:
- change screen brightness
- adjust volume
- access your music/iPod/itunes
- quit/close apps: hold down on an app, push minus sign (described above as well)
