Getting a new gadget is an exciting venture! The only problem is that you have to figure out how to use it, and that can be frustrating and time consuming. If you’ve got a new iPad and need some help figuring it out, look over the following article; it’s full of useful tips and tricks about the iPad.
Protect the screen of your iPad with a special screen protector. These are made of a clear, adhesive film or plastic and cover the entire screen from nicks, scratches and smudges. Screen protectors do not interfere with use in any way. Most can be purchased for well under $10. Many are already perfectly cut to fit the iPad screen.
The best case truly insures your iPad against damage. You should invest more than a few dollars in a strong, protective hard or soft case. A folio is another excellent choice as it protects both the screen and the iPad itself. $50-80 is a good estimate of the cost of a truly protective case, so don’t cheap out!
The glass screen on your iPad has a special coating that provides protection from the oil in your fingertips. It is important you take proper care of your screen to protect this oleophobic coating. First of all, don’t drop your iPad. The screen is glass, so it will break easily. Next, always clean your screen with a lint-free, soft cloth. You may lightly dampen this cloth with water, but don’t use alcohol, window cleaner, or any abrasives. After each use, clean your screen so that the lingering fingerprints don’t degrade the oleophobic coating.
Did you know that you can even check your local traffic on your iPad? Just go to Maps, click on the turning page in the corner, and turn the traffic overlay on. As long as you have an Internet connection, you will be able to see the current traffic in your area.
Take advantage of free apps for your iPad. Although there are a number of sites that offer apps at reasonable prices, there are also those that give them to you for free. Be sure and check the reputability of the site you download from and read the fine print. You should have no problem getting nearly everything you need at no cost.
Put an end to WiFi connect messages. Tired of being notified every time you stray into a WiFi zone? In the Wi-Fi section of Settings, there is an option to turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” You can still manually join any network, the iPad will just stop notifying you of every time one is in range.
Hopefully this article leaves you with a greater understanding of the iPad and how to use it. Understand that it will take time before you become a pro at using it. Even the so-called experts need manuals and tutorials, given the complexity of this amazing gadget. But all of this can be half the fun of the iPad: there is always something new to learn about it!
