Are you a fan of gaming online? Are you in school? Do you work hard? Trying to shed some extra pounds? Are you going to have a baby? Did you know that your iPad is able to assist you with those things and more? There is, quite literally, an app for just about everything! The iPad is so much more than a collection of apps, though. This article contains advice which help you use your iPad to its greatest potential.

It is easy to access all of the running apps on your iPad. Simply double-click the Home button. A bar near the bottom of the screen will indicate which apps are in use. You are able to switch to whatever app you want, by pressing it on the bar. You should swipe the screen downwards in order to eliminate the bar.

If you’ve got a frozen iPad, do a soft reset which will reboot the device. To do this, you must hold the home and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds. This will cause the tablet to restart. If you wish for an app to be forcefully closed, hold your home button down for a couple of seconds.

Have you accidentally launched a noisy app? If you want to mute your iPad, press and hold your volume down button for a few seconds. If you need a mute button, change your settings so your lock orientation button becomes a mute button.

You can change your email settings to preview more of your email. Visit “settings” followed by “mail” and find the “preview” setting. Switch this to show more text; perhaps five lines. This allows you to tailor how much you’ll see in the Mail app and lets you skim through your mail more efficiently.

Because of this excellent advice, you have an excellent learning base for your iPad. There are so many uses for your iPad, you will soon carry it with you all the time. It is a tool that makes a lot of other gadgets obsolete, especially when following these tips.
