Universal Access:

Various features such as VoiceOver screen reading, closed-captioned movies, inverted white on black and zoom magnification can be enabled on the iPad 2 by going into iTunes, then opening the Summary tab and then clicking on the Configure Universal Access option. You can select which options you want to turn on.

Forget Wi-Fi settings:

If you have connected to a Wi-Fi network by accident then your iPad 2 will save the networks regardless of whether you want it to or not. But if you don’t want your iPad 2 to do so then follow the instructions mentioned in the following sentence. Go into Settings and then into Wi-Fi. Here you need to find the network you want your iPad 2 to forget under the Choose a Network. Tap on the blue arrow next to the network and tap on Forget this Network. This should do the trick.

Tweak Spotlight Searches:

Your iPad 2 uses Spotlight for the in-built search function. The good thing is that you can tweak these settings to suit your needs. You can do this by going into Settings then General and into Spotlight Search. Based on your requirements you can change search parameters in here. For example, if there is a lot of data in your iPad 2 then you can disable the search to take place in categories such as Notes, Events, Applications, Audiobooks etc. This will help getting the desired search result in faster time. Also you can change the order in which the search result does its scanning. You can drag up more often used categories so that the search gets completed faster.

In-App Purchases:

You can go into Settings then General, then Restrictions and then enable restrictions. This will enable restrictions which apply for your Game Center, contents, apps etc. If you are concerned about the fact that in-apps are being misused by your children or friends then you can disable this in the Allowed Content setting.

Stay tuned for the next set of tips and tricks for your iPad 2.
