The iPad can do many things for people. By adding a keyboard, you can use it as a word processing
tool. Hook up a joystick and it is like a gaming console. With certain apps, you can even use it for
video conferences. The following tips will help you learn what you need to know about mastering
your iPad.
If you wish to access servers remotely, you need a VPN connection. To make a VPN connection, go to
Network and turn on the VPN feature. You will then be asked for a username and a server address.
Talk to the network admin if you need the information required.
Remain aware of the apps that are currently operational on your device. While you work on other
things, some apps will continue running on your iPad in the background. You can easily see the
running apps by double clicking the home button. A bar shows up near the bottom of the screen that
will list currently active apps. When you are finished with this area, swipe down and the bar will be
gone.
You don't have to tap the camera roll icon that's in the bottom-left of your screen to see a video or
photo you've just taken. Just swipe the screen to the right and your content will appear. Swipe left in
a continuous motion to see prior photos.
A lot of people find it difficult to type on tablets, but over
time, it gets easier. If you have issues, use speech
dictation instead. Click the Home button two times and
then touch the microphone. After you have dictated your
piece, tap the icon one more time and your text will
display.
If you would like to include your Google Calender on your iPad's calender app, go to mail, then
contacts and then calenders. Choose Add An Account, then Other. Tap the icon Add CaIDAV Account
and insert your Google information. Then, back out of that menu and choose the calendar app. You
should have everything you need now.

If you have purchased an iPad for your child and are worried about them viewing mature content,
change the settings so that this type of content is blocked. There is an option in the settings that lets
you block this kind of content. You can block mature films and anything else that is labeled adult
and/or has bad language.
It's a bummer not knowing where a hyperlinked phrase is going to take you when surfing the net
with your iPad. Although you cannot hover over the text to reveal its URL, you can touch and hold
the text. Hovering isn't an option, but if you hold the word down your problem is solved. The
hyperlink's URL will be shown.
Switch on your auto brightness in order to add battery life. This feature senses the ambient light in
the room and adjusts the backlight to suit your surroundings. The iPad's backlight gobbles up
battery, so this function can easily extend the amount of time that you can use the iPad before
charging it. This setting can be located in the section labeled "Brightness & Wallpaper".
Tabs can help you browse more efficiently. You don't necessarily have to leave your current webpage
to follow links. By holding the link instead of tapping it, you will bring up an options menu. Then you
can follow the new link in a brand new tab, and the current page stays open too.
It is always a good idea to utilize the security features of your iPad, even if you don't think you need
them. You might lose it and people will have access to everything from your emails to your bank
information.
Your iPad is a great tool to help you do your homework, play some games and stay in touch with
your friends. You just need a little knowledge of how to set up the iPad for your specific needs. Apply
what you've just learned, and have fun with your gadget.
