iPad Tip 41 - Preview More of Your Mail

The iPad's Mail app defaults to previewing two lines of each email before you tap on it. Sometimes however it would be handier to be able to see more of an email before loading the whole thing in, especially if you are on a slow connection. To do this open the Settings app, then tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars and change the Preview options to add more lines.

iPad Tip 40 - Back it Up

Make sure your iPad's data is properly backed up. When you're connected to your Mac or PC, open up iTunes and right-click on your iPad in the Devices list and select Back up. You don't need to worry about Apps you've downloaded or any purchases - videos, music - they're always available to you from Apple. Content you've created, such as photos and videos is what's important and at risk of loss when the iPad dies. You can also use an offsite service.

iPad Tip 39 - Need a Real Keyboard

Use an Apple keyboard ... or not. Missing a real keyboard? Any Apple Wireless Keyboard will work with the iPad. In fact, your iPad will work with any Bluetooth keyboard. Some iPad cases have a keyboard built in, which can be handy.

iPad Tip 38 - Clear Safari Browsing History

Need to cover your tracks online? You can delete your Safari browser history in a flash. Just open the Settings app, then tap Safari and tap on Clear History. Note you can also wipe your Cookies and clear your Cache here too. There's also a Private Browsing mode you can turn on, so your history won't be tracked. Turn this on in from Safari, tap the History icon, then tap Private.

iPad Tip 37 - Quick Safari Scroll

You can jump up to the top of any web site - indeed any list - by tapping on the top of the title window. It's much faster than scrolling by hand.

iPad Tip 36 - Delete All

Passcode Denied…

If you're carrying around sensitive data, you can now enable a feature that'll erase all the data on the device if someone inputs the incorrect passcode 10 times. Navigate to Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data.

iPad Tip 35 - FaceTime

Once you've started a video call, you can move the picture-in-picture window that shows you by simply dragging it around with your finger.

iPad Tip 34 - Control Notifications

By going to Settings > Notifications, you can decide which apps can pop up alerts, which have notifications at the top of the screen, and which appear in Notification Center. This means you can make sure that noisy apps don't clog things up for you, and you notice the important things. Turning them off will also help to preserve battery life.

iPad Tip 33 - Home Sharing

Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes (Advanced menu) on your computer and on your iPad (Settings > Music/Video and enter your Apple ID). Next, launch the Music or Video app on your iPad. In the Music App, tap the "More" button at the bottom, find the little house with "Shared" next to it. Tap on that and then on one of the Shared Libraries. It might take a few seconds to update, but then you can listen to all of that Library's media on your iPad. For video, tap the Shared tab at the top of the screen. Enjoy!

iPad Tip 32 - Create Folders

This one is pretty basic: to create a folder all you need to do is tap and hold on an App until they all start to jiggle, then drag the app over another icon and release.
Your iPad will create a folder with both the Apps in it. The folder will be named according to the category of the Apps it contains, but you can rename it as you like. How many Apps can you have in a folder and how many folders can you have? Read it here - http://tinyurl.com/pttk6fs

iPad Tip 31 - Access All Open Apps

Double-clicking the Home button shows you all the Apps that are running on your iPad in a bar along the bottom of the screen. To switch to a running app just tap on it here in this bar. Just swipe the screen downwards to remove this bar. Swipe upwards to close the App - remember open Apps may be the cause of short battery life.

iPad Tip 30 - Customize your Triple Click!

You can activate voiceover, invert colors, set the screen to grayscale, zoom, switch control and assistive touch by customizing the triple click of your home button. Head to Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and you can customize the triple click.

iPad Tip 29 - Be All Thumbs

I have seen some really fast typing done by all thumbs but the iOS keyboard doesn’t quite facilitate that for most people. However, you can split the keyboard into two halves and move it around on your iPad screen. Simply press and hold the keyboard icon on the lower right side of the keyboard and choose“Split” and it will separate into two halves. You can stick it back together by pinching it together or by pressing and holding the keyboard icon. Your other choice is to“Undock” or“Dock”which means you can move the keyboard anywhere on the screen or move it back. You can also use your thumbs to "pull" the keyboard apart.
