The iPad is a relatively simple device to operate, especially if you're iPhone "literate," but there are a few shortcuts for the iPad that most people are unaware of. Use these tricks to make your iPad experience even better!
Cut, Copy...What?
Knowing how to cut, copy and paste on the iPad is a time saver in itself, but knowing how to deal with those annoying blue circles is a whole other battle. Don't ever drag and drop those uncooperative blue dots around large blocks of text again. If you tap on a world 4 times (semi-quickly), the whole paragraph that surrounds the particular word will highlight itself - without ever revealing the blue dots!
1...2...MUTE!
We have all been there before...just as the room falls silent your iPad starts playing an annoying YouTube video and everyone turns to look at you! Navigating the iPad menu to mute your iPad in the traditional manner may take longer than you want to be the center of attention. You can actually mute your iPad in 2 seconds by pressing the decrease volume button down for two seconds.
Turn your iPad into a Digital Photo Frame
Digital photo frames have become extremely popular in recent times, but they also are accompanied by a hefty price tag. You have already dropped a pretty penny on your iPad, so allow it to have multiple purposes. Follow these steps to temporarily turn your iPad into the digital photo frame you were tempted to buy:
1. Hit the power button when your iPad is idle.
2. Tap the flower icon to the right of the "Slide to Unlock" switch.
3. Let your iPad play continuously through the images.
You can manipulate the speed of your "photo show" in the iPad settings area. Be sure that you also turn off the "Zoom in on Faces" option so that your images are shown with better quality.
