Did you know you can have your personal assistant, Siri, post to Facebook or Tweet for you? You can say“Post to Facebook: I love Capitol Macintosh” or say“Tweet: CapMac has sweet iPad tips!"

iPad Tip 27 - Connectivity: WiFi Security

Since the release of the iPad, many iPad owners have been experiencing WiFi connectivity issues, especially to networks that use WEP security. Since many routers and access points (such as the Sprint OverDrive mobile hotspot), use WEP security by default, it poses a problem for access on the iPad.

If you are having problems connecting your iPad to your OverDrive or other router via WiFi, you might want to check your router settings and select WPA/WPA2 as the security protocol.

To get quicker caps (capitalized characters), instead of tapping shift and then the letter, just
touch shift and then drag you finger to the letter and release. The closer the letter is to the shift
key, the faster it is.

iPad Tip 24 - Easy Email

Copy/Paste Pictures to Email

I was baffled by this issue at first thinking the only way to send a picture was to use the send
options in the Photo app.
Just tap and hold an image until you get the copy option. Copy it, load your email app, and
paste it.

iPad Tip 23 - Port Doesn't Charge?

USB Ports That Don't Charge

Many USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad when the iPad is on. Try turning the iPad off and then giving those low-power ports another try. It's likely that they will then be able to charge your iPad.

iPad Tip 22 - File Sharing

Desktop to iPad File Sharing

If you're wondering where Pages, Numbers and other Apps that save files store and manage the synching, look closely at the iTunes Apps tab (on your computer) when you plug in your iPad. Scroll down and
you'll see the File Sharing. Check out the apps that utilize fie sharing and the actual documents. When you're ready to sync your files, use the Add.. button to add your files and work with
them on the go.

iPad Tip 21 - The Big Picture

Get the Big Picture!

To take a screen shot push the power button and the home button simultaneously for just a second. You can also use this trick on your iPhone. On the iPad, however, that screen shot is at 768 X 1024 resolution making it a lot more useful than the tiny iPhone shots.

iPad Tip 18 - Thesaurus

Replace Includes Thesaurus

When you select a word, the familiar pop-up options appear: Cut, Copy, and Paste. The iPad
adds a new option: Replace. Tap it to view alternate spellings or corrections.

iPad Tip 17 - Better Zooming

The Zoom accessibility option that's in the iPhone OS is even more helpful on the iPad than
on a smaller device because of the additional screen territory. You can turn this on from Settings
| Accessibility | Zoom by flipping Zoom to On.

The Zoom screen explains the three options: double tap with three fingers to zoom in; drag
with three fingers for panning around the screen; and use three fingers to double tap without
releasing, and then drag up or down to zoom in or out.
