1.The comma key’s hidden powers
Swiping up quickly on the Comma key will instantly insert an apostrophe; swiping up on the Period key inserts a quotation mark. 2. Tapping and holding virtual keys Other virtual keys hold special powers, too. Press and hold on a vowel, for example, and a popover containing accented versions of the selected character appears. (Certain consonants, like C, S, and N, also offer alternate versions when you tap and hold on their virtual keys.) 3. Avoiding application exits Sometimes, you notice something you’d like to check out more closely in an app—at the same instant you press the Home button. Instead of letting the app close, then finding its icon and waiting while the app relaunches, you can tell your iPad to abort your now-unwanted Home button press. Don’t let go. If you hold down the Home button extra long—just a few seconds needed—your iPad will abandon its plans to close the current app, and you tap on that enticing link instead. 4. Closing background apps You may want to close apps that are still running. Some of your apps can keep on running in the background, even after you’ve closed them. Generally, that’s fine; the iPad does a great job of killing apps when memory limits require it. Some apps, however, can eat up quite a bit of memory and battery life if they remain open when you no longer need them. 5. Use music playback controls When you double-tap the Home button, swipe towards the right. Doing so will reveal several controls: playback buttons (Reverse, Play/Pause, and Skip), along with sliders for brightness and volume. 6. Put more apps in the Dock iPads feature just four apps in the Dock. Because of that, many iPad owners keep just four apps in their docks. But it turns out that the dock actually holds six apps. All you need to do to keep more frequently-accessed apps in your dock is move them there: press and hold on any app icon until the apps start to jiggle, and then drag the app you’d like to move right into the Dock. 7. Launching apps quickly Type an app’s name into Spotlight, and you can then tap the search result to immediately launch the app. Instead of paging through home screen after home screen, use Spotlight as a virtual keyboard launcher. 8. Screen Snapshot When at this screen, click on the Home button, and while pressing that button, press and release the On/Off/Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPad. The two buttons that you need to press can be seen in the image below. 9.Create web clips To add a website to your Home screen, visit the page in Safari and tap the Go To icon at the bottom of the Safari window. Tap Add to Home Screen. |
