Any idiot can use an iPad at a basic level . It ’s designed that way . But even still , there are thing that you ’re just think to as if by magic hump — things no one ever necessarily distinguish you . So we ’re here to serve .
The Soft Reset
The undivided most uncouth thing people do n’t realize about the iPhone OS ( from my experience ) is how to perform a flabby reset — which you ’ll find extremely utile in cases when the system freezes .
Just arrest the top ( power ) and bottom front ( home ) clitoris for a few seconds . Your iPad will restart . To force quit an lotion , just hold the home button by itself in a alike fashion .
Cut, Copy and Paste for Experts
simulate text is as easy as doubly tap a news . But when you want to imitate a whole paragraph , like for an address , you have to unfold those annoying fiddling drab pommel … or do you ?
Tap any editable text four times . You ’ll play up the whole paragraph .
Import Your Own (Free) Books
Apple’siBooks appis your portal to reading and purchase eBooks on the iPad — and it include a plane section with a few spare Scripture . But do n’t forget , just like iTunes and the iPod can spell and play music download elsewhere , the iTunes and the iPad can import and show books download elsewhere . Formatsare limited , however . The iPad only supports ePub ( with or without DRM ) .

Your local library may be a great source for spare ePub checkouts . Also , Project Gutenberghas 30,000 detached ePub books you could download , all of which have fallen out of copyright . There ’s lots of well stuff in this collection if you read classic , and the project even has anRSSlist for new comer .
If you require to convert PDFs and other DRM - free formats to ePub , you could useCalibre .
Easy Mute
There you are , in the back run-in of a funeral just minding your own business concern when , oops , you forgot to mute those YouTube clips on your iPad ! No worries . There ’s a quick way to cut the utterer .
book down the volume down button for about two seconds will damp your iPad .
Never Buy a Digital Photo Frame Again
You probably know by now that the iPad doubles as a digital picture frame . you may get at this function a few way , but the easiest way ?
When you wake the iPad , look to the right of swoop to Unlock . You ’ll see a flower . tick it . The slideshow will lead off after a moment . Toggle the speed in configurations — oh , and while you ’re at it , turn off “ zoom in on faces”—it tend to just food grain / muck up your photos .
Take Giant Screenshots
Another golden oldie but treat that many that many people do n’t realize you may do in the iPhone osmium : screenshot anything you ’re looking at . And keep in mind , when this happens on the iPad , it ’s at 768×1024 resolve — making it potentially a wad more utilitarian in the full - sized monitor land than iPhone screenshots .
Push the top ( superpower ) and base button at once for half a second base . The photo will be stored in your photo subroutine library .
Super Fast Webpage Scrolling
So you ’re all the fashion to the bottom of a web log when you realize that you want to scan a chronicle back at the top . Do n’t do the whole repeatedly drag your finger across the CRT screen affair . That ’s a horrible method for cross a heap of real the three estates . Instead :
Tap the title bar once . WOOOOSSHHH . You ’re right back on top of the page . ( pretend “ wooosh ” noises does n’t expedite the physical process , but it does wonders for general effect . )
Preview More Of Your Mail
Did you know that you’re able to define your mail to preview more than two line ? The iPhone has this option , too , but its smaller screen means that it ’s not so practical . On the iPad , however , I detect the feature film is moderately handy for skimming several electronic mail without opening them .
Go to options - > Mail , Contacts and Calendars and select “ 5 line ” under Preview . Also , while you ’re at it , you might want to revise your Push e-mail from “ Manual ” if you like to have your messages waiting when you start the Mail app . Of course , this will drain power a bit more quickly .
Bring Up the Virtual Keyboard With a Real Keyboard
When you have a Bluetooth keyboard connected to your iPad , the virtual keyboard will cease to appear . ( This is a good matter . ) However , what if , for some random reason , you needed that practical keyboard ? Do n’t unpair your Bluetooth . Just …
shoot the eject key on Apple ’s physical keyboard . It ’ll add up the virtual one .
Downrez 1080P HD Videos…Or You Can’t Watch Them
You may have 1080P videos on your computer , but the iPad ca n’t play them — in fact , iTunes wo n’t even let you copy them to the iPad ! The easiest resolution ? Downrez them to 720P using an app like Handbrake .
Joel gives you a full tutorial on thathere . you may also pour music and television to the iPad withStreamToMe .
