You can bring up a list of every app currently running on your iPad. All you have to do is quickly double click your Home button. You may switch to another running app, just by tapping that app in that bar. To get rid of this bar, swipe the screen in a downward direction.

Iphone Charger

TIP! If you need to charge up in a hurry, do not use an iPhone charger on the iPad. The wattage required by the iPad is twice as much as that for the iPhone.

If you want to charge your iPad as quickly as possible, do not use an iPhone charger. The wattage on the two devices is different. If you try to use an iPhone charger, you’ll have to wait a very long time for it to fully charge. Just use the original charger that was given with the iPad.

“Ding!” Does the chiming of your iPad whenever you receive another email drive you crazy? You can get rid of this feature, if you find it annoying. Find your Settings tab, then go to General. Select Sounds under the General heading. Now you can disable the mail sounds or fix the level.

TIP! If you want your Google Calendar feature on the iPad, go into “mail” then “contacts” then “calendars.” You need to go to the area that allows you to add an additional account, then hit Other.

If you lose the iPad, do you want to know how to find it? Simply navigate to Settings and then select iCloud. Type your Apple ID in the space, and look for “Find My iPad” at the bottom of your screen, then turn it on. Thus, if you lose the device, you just need to go to iCloud.com.

TIP! If you do not want Google used as your default search engine you can change that. To change these settings, navigate your way to your Safari setting and choose search engine.

Access your email and phone numbers by setting up FaceTime. When you set up FaceTime, it will remember the email you use to access iTunes, but additional emails can be added. If you have more that you want set up, you can do it under settings.
