Custom Wallpaper – Of course you want to personalize your iPad. Locate the image you want to use either by using Safari or uploading it to your iPad. Once you have the image open on your iPad, press and hold your finger on the screen and select ‘Save Image’. After the image is saved open Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper. Scroll right and open Saved Photos and you should see your image. Now all you have to do is choose Set Lock Screen or Set Home Screen. If you can’t make up your mind you can select both. Copy and Paste For a quick copy and paste hold your finger where you want to start copying from and tap Copy. Then do the same process in reverse in the new spot you want to paste. Hold your finger down where you want the copy to go and tap Paste. You can copy an entire paragraph by tapping four times. Reinstalling deleted apps you purchased from iTunes You may find yourself in a situation where you want or need to reinstall an app that you previously deleted. If you purchased it from iTunes all you have to do is choose to re-install the app. There is no charge for this and if you accidentally try to purchase the app again iTunes will remind you that you don’t need to. Increase iPad battery life Apple states that the battery in your iPad will last up to 10 hours. You bought your iPad so you can use it so here’s a tip on extending the battery life. Although not ideal it will get you some additional battery life in a pinch. Go to Settings -> Brightness and drag the brightness slider as low as you can handle. Also turn off your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and try not to play gaming apps, music or video. Kind of defeats the purpose of your iPad but if you are in a bind it can help.

Quick mute Hold down the ‘Volume Down’ button and the sound will cut off Zoom in with the magnifying glass If you’re typing something and then get to the end of your document before noticing a typo use the magnifying glass to get back to the spot that needs editing. Just hold your finger on the screen and the magnifying glass will appear. Drag your finger to your correction point and release. Turning off those keyboard clicks Either you are a big fan of or can not stand the sound of those keyboard clicks. To disable the sound go to Settings -> Sounds and turn OFF the keyboard clicks. If they are just to loud for you turn them down with the volume control slider. Keep personal information personal Security is always extremely important when dealing with your personal information. To set up a password go to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. Tap Enable Restrictions and enter your password. Then just choose which apps you want to enable the restriction on. Maximize your sound by setting your EQ Take full advantage of your iPad’s sound by adjusting the equalizer to suit your personal tastes. Go to Settings -> iPod ->EQ. Make your selection and you are good to go.

Save time by enabling Autofill No need to fill out every form you come across. When you’re in Safari use the Autofill function. Choose Settings -> Safari -> Autofill and choose to Use Contact Info to autofill the information that you have in your Contacts app or stored in Names & Passwords. Manually shut down an app If you’ve got an app that you can’t get to respond you can force it to shut down by holding down the Home button until the app closes or you see the home screen. There are so many different tips out there that it would take forever to give them all to you. We'll definitely have more of these lists in the future. Hopefully you picked up a thing or two and if not maybe your remembered something that you had forgotten.
