Is there anything that hasn't already been said about the iPad? Some view it as a useful tool, and other view it as simple amusement. If you would like to make good use of the iPad as a tool, this article provides some tips to help you.

Accessing the running apps is easy. To see the currently running apps, just tap the Home button twice and you can see them quite clearly. To switch between apps, just tap the one you want to access. When you no longer want to see it, swipe downwards to eliminate the bar from your screen.

Is your iPad getting a little slow? Have you cleared out old data and yet it's not getting any faster? You may think about adding your data to the cloud so you can have more free space. The extra free space that you gain should help you to regain the speed that your iPad once had.

As an alternative to a bulky manual, you can download the manual onto your iPad. The Apple company is fond of minimalism, and they prefer consumers download manuals rather than print a hardcopy one out for every product that they sell.

Does your iPad make too much noise? Go to the Sound tab in Settings. This allows you to turn off any alerts you don't want to receive. If you want them on, you can turn them down, too.

Adjusting the brightness of your screen can help you extend the life of your iPad's battery. This makes great sense of you are traveling and are waiting on a critical message. To turn down screen brightness, try double-tapping your Home icon and looking for the sun icon.

It can be irritating for your iPad to chime every time you get an email. You can get rid of these alerts. Start by going to Setting and General. Under the General tab, select Sounds. You can stop the sound for new mail or at least turn it down.

If you receive a lot of email, the notifications may drive you bonkers. You can shut off that feature. Just select your Settings button and then General after that. Select "Sounds" under this tab. Then, select the option to turn the New Mail alert off or reduce the volume of the alert.

Scrolling in Safari isn't always the easiest. You can save some time by tapping the bar located on top of your page and you will go back to the top of the web page right away instead of scrolling up. This works for all of your apps.

When typing on an iPad, you have the option of using a different keypad. Typing on a tiny keyboard that is projected on a screen can be quite challenging. Just buy a BlueTooth keyboard for use with iPad. This enables you type as easily as you do on a laptop.

There is more contemporary way for you to share photos with others. You don't need to make an email and add attachments. Just go to the Photos folder, choose the photo you'd like to share, tap the arrow at the top-right corner and tap Email to send it.

Because of this excellent advice, you have an excellent learning base for your iPad. Always keep it with you to find out all sorts of news and information. You'll find that you grow attached to the device because it combines so many different technologies, and the tips can help you use it to its full potential.
