iPad Tips and Tricks

While browsing, i found a few great iPad operating tips. Thought it'd be a great share for guys out there who just bought the iPad. Here they are


Hard Reset the Pad

Just hold the top (power) and bottom front (home) button for a few seconds. Your iPad will restart. To force quit an application, all you need to do is to Hold power button until the 'slide to power off' appears and then hold home button until it quits.


Copy a whole paragraph

Instead of selecting those blue knobs and dragging them, tap on the editable text four times, and the whole paragraph is highlighted.


Read FREE Ebooks

The ipad doesn't support PDF format(thye sad part),but stil there's a way to get your book onto the pad. Convery your PDF books to the iPad supported ePUB format using Calibre.
Alternatively, Project Gutenberg has 30,000 free ePub books you can download, all of which have fallen out of copyright. There's lots of good stuff in this collection if you read classics, and the project even has an RSS list for new arrivals.



Instantly mute your iPad

In emergency cases, here's the shortest shortcut to mute your ipad. Hold down the volume button for about two seconds, and you're iPad's now mute.


Use the iPad Digital Photo Frame

When you wake the iPad, look to the right of Slide to Unlock. You'll see a flower. Click it. The slideshow will begin after a moment. Toggle the speed in Settings—oh, and while you're at it, turn off "zoom in on faces"—it tends to just grain/muck up your photos.



Take Sceenshots

push the power and home buttons fo a second and a half, and a 1024x768 screenshot would be saved in the photo library.


Scroll Pages Superfast
