When one buys an iPad, they're expecting fireworks as they open the box. Once they turn it on, sometimes they find that the whole situation can be daunting and confusing. Getting the most out of your iPad means learning all you can about the technology and apps available, so read on for some advice.

Did you open too many apps? You can access all your open apps by tapping on the home button of your iPad and bar will appear at the bottom of you screen. Tap the app you want to access and repeat this process later to access your other running aps.

Do you get irked each time you get a message from your iPad wanting to know if you want to join a new wifi network that it has just picked up? You're able to turn off this feature through the settings menu. Press on Wi-Fi and turn off the last option to discontinue these prompts.

Protect your sensitive data with the Delete All function. Worried about losing your identity if your iPad is ever lost or stolen? Simply enable the Erase Data security setting. In the event of 10 incorrect passcode entries, the iPad will automatically erase all personal data. You can find this option in the Settings menu, under General> Passcode Lock.

People often make mistakes when typing on tablets, which leads to interesting typos in the resulting messages. It is possible to have your iPad convert what you say into text. Depress the Home button two times, then touch the microphone icon. After you finish dictating, tap the microphone icon again, and you will see the text version of your dictation.

Be sure that you only use official iPad accessories with your iPad. Accessories made by other companies have been shown to slow the device and even cause permanent damage at times. Even though the Apple accessories are more expensive than other options they are cheaper than having to replace your iPad altogether.

Turn on Apple's iCloud as soon as you get an iPad. iCloud acts as an important backup to your most critical documents, photos, music, and more. The beauty of it is that it just works. No need to manually force it to back your items up; it does it behind the scenes.

Spend a day or two familiarizing yourself with your iPad. You may have purchased it for one or two features, but spend a while exploring everything that is available. You may not even realize that the iPad can do some things, so looking around is a sure way to get even more out of it.

You do not have to save documents to your iPad to share them. Access them via the Internet and open your share menu. You will then have access to a list of all the documents you opened. Tap on the document you want to share. If you want to share an entire page, you will be able to send it as a Word document or as a PDF.

If you are worried that a four digit passcode is not enough to keep your iPad secure, you can opt for a longer one. You can go into your settings and change it so that you can use as many characters as you would like. This is useful if you know there is a chance someone you know will guess any four digit code you choose.

The iPad is a great tool for taking and emailing pictures. Once you have a picture that you want to share on your iPad, sending it via email is simple. Just open the photo on your iPad and look for the rectangle in the upper right-hand corner. Click on that and you will be given an opportunity to share via email. Simply choose that option and type in your recipients to send.

With what you've read here, you should know enough to ensure your iPad is working for you. You can free yourself of ethernet cables and desktop PCs now that you have one of the most effective technologies available. Keep reading as this technology is rapidly bettering itself, so you must stay on top of new developments to become an iPad master in no time.

I enjoy discussing all sorts of topics with people and answering their questions. It just so happens that I have picked up quite a bit of information on buying a new computer. My knowledge of the topic is reflected in the articles I wrote - http://howmuchareipads.net/
