Ipad Tutorial On Ipad
Buying an iPad for the first time is really exciting and the urge to get straight in there and play around with it is massive
. Then you look in the box to find there is no instruction manual or iPad tutorial on the iPad.
Now, a lot of things on the iPad you can do straight away and don't need a manual. But the iPad is more than just putting in your details, surfing the internet and playing games. The iPad is such a wonderful piece of technology with so much to learn to get the most out of it. Taking a picture or a video is easy you would think, but are you getting the most out of it?
Here are a few tips of things you can do on your iPad that might be useful.
Taking a screen shot
Taking a screen shot can be extremely useful and is something I'd never considered I could do easily on an iPad before. Say you come across something interesting on the internet such as a news report, or even if you want to take a screenshot of a game you are playing to show your friends. It's as easy as holding down the HOME button and the SLEEP buttons at the same time. You will know it has taken the picture as you will hear the camera shutter sound. The picture will automatically be saved to your photo library.
Watching iPad videos on a bigger screen
Sometimes you just want to watch videos on a big screen and not just on your iPad. This maybe simple and many people may know this, but for those who don't, you can simply take an Apple HDMI cable and connect it to a larger TV screen. You can also use Airplay if you have Apple TV.
The Four finger swipe technique
To have easy and quick access to certain things on your iPad you can swipe your four fingers across your iPad screen. For instance, swiping them to the left or right will switch between your apps of the most recently used ones.
Take your first three fingers and your thumb and pinch them together. This will take you straight to your home screen.
Swiping your four fingers upwards on your screen will give you fast access to your multi-tasking bar. The other method for doing this would be to double tap the HOME button.
These are just a few things that are, for me anyway simple things that many people don't know you can do. Obviously the four finger swiping technique maybe common knowledge, but for those who it isn't can be useful for speedy navigation. When I had my iPad I didn't think for one minute about watching videos on a larger screen. Although I didn't buy the iPad for this function, it's something that I would want and is a real bonus. Also the screen shot idea is great and something I use all the time to send emails to my friends showing them interesting things in my day to day browsing on my iPad as well as proving my high scores on my games!
Just a few other things I have found out about the iPad that may be useful to you are:
It has (on the 3g version) built in GPS which I find extremely useful.
You can use your iPhone apps on your iPad
Open excel spread sheets and edit them
Do power point presentations
Play MP3 files
Read PDF'S
Watch TV - Including Netflix
Use Twitter from your browser and Tweet easily
Make video calls
Connect external speakers
The list just goes on and on, and with no iPad tutorial on ipad you'll never know everything.
I find getting to know about learning the iPad is best from video tutorials as I like to follow along and you can see exactly what is happening and you can pause, rewind or fast forward lessons along the way, of course, on your iPad! Things like organising your photos, listening to music and podcasts, reading on your iPad and productivity aren't easy so watching a tutorial is definitely the way forward. At the price that an iPad comes, I want the most out of it I can possibly get.
So don't just think that your iPad is just browsing, taking pictures and playing games. Use it to its full potential and you never know what you might uncover.
