Amazing Things That Your IPad Can Do For You

By Candelaria Darting


Having an iPad can be both fun and useful; you may use it in your free time or you may use it for work. However, to really get the most of your iPad, there are some tips you should be aware of. This article will give you these helpful tips and more.

You can show the web your strongest emotions by simply turning your caps lock on with new iOS devices, such as the iPad. Rather than fighting the shift key over and over again, you can now double tap the button and enter caps-lock mode. This setting is great for typing an entire sentence or paragraph in a capital font.

One of the neat features of the iPad is the Photo Booth. You can get more enjoyment out of this feature if you use it on your friends and family. Tapping the "twirly camera" icon will let you use the camera on the back and take photos by tapping the shutter button.

You can take better pictures by focusing on your subject and improving the metering of the light. All you have to do is tap on your subject and your iPad will focus on this area and meter the light to make your subject more visible. Experiment with this tool to take some artsy picture!

When you want a spelling suggestion, highlight the word you're looking to replace. In the menu which appears, you'll see a "Replace..." option. Click that and you should be offered a variety of replacements, from correct spelling to alternative words that are spelled very similarly, making word processing a snap.

A great feature of the iPad is the zoom features. You can easily zoom in and out of any website by pinching with two fingers on the screen. This will help you select tiny links or features when they are larger. You can also double-tap on any image or text to enable auto-zoom.

When taking pictures, you should use the orientation lock button so the shutter button remains near your thumb instead of shifting to the bottom of your screen. You will then be able to take pictures without shaking when you hold the iPad by its sides. Use an image editor app to rotate your pictures afterward if you need to.

While it may seem like a good idea to place your iPad in a case to protect it, why would you want to hide something that you spent so much money on? It would be best to place a screen protector over it when you want to carry it around instead of concealing it in a nondescript case.

Professional businessmen and professional surfers need the ability to preview a large inbox and iPad finally provides this functionality. The mail application will expand on two lines of text per message with an adjustable limit, depending upon your preferences. You can now view all of your messages and get to the important information without clicking on each individual letter.

Keep your apps organized with the folder feature. The newest version of iOS allows users to create folders. To do this, tap and hold an app's icon until it starts to move or jiggle. Then, drag the app until it is hovering over another app that you want in the same folder. Now just release. The iPad will automatically create a folder with both app icons inside.

Simple advice goes a long way, whether it be about your life or your tablet. That said, so many people are sharing information about the iPad today, your best bet is to read, listen and learn. Take the advice here and you'll be sure to use your iPad in the best way possible.
