Some newer iPads have a mute button instead of a lock orientation one. If you prefer the lock orientation feature, you should go into your settings and tap on the general section. You will be able to choose which function you want to associate with this button. Save your changes when you are done.

If you're battery is draining fast than you'd like, turn off some notifications and location based items. Your iPad is constantly monitoring where you are (as long as it's on wifi, 3G, or LTE). This monitoring sucks the life out of your battery. If you don't need the features, then you can extend your battery time with a few flicks of a button.

You can stop annoying Wi-Fi joining messages on your iPad. If you're tired of getting asked to join various Wi-Fi networks constantly, this can be taken care of under Settings and Wi-Fi. Switch off Ask to Join Networks. You may still join any network that you've already got from this screen, you just will not be harassed constantly.

Here is a quick tip to finding text on a page with your iPad. When you are in Safari, type your search word into the Google box. This will give you a list of suggestions. Near the bottom of these suggestions you will see "on this page" and tap on it to show the word on the page you are viewing.

Do you need to switch from one app to another? You should activate the multitasking gestures in the general tab of your settings. You will then be able to swipe left or right to switch apps, swipe up to see your multitasking bar and pinch your fingers if you want to access your home.

Here's a quick trick to mute your iPad sound. Simply hold the volume down button for a couple of seconds. This is a lot quicker than going through the settings. Hold it one more time to revert the volume.

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 with printer ink deals.

The cloud function is particularly useful if you get online a lot. This is terrific for storing information without using hard drive space on your iPad. Make sure that important documents are stored on both your iPad and the cloud function.

One of the neat features of the iPad is the Photo Booth. You can get more enjoyment out of this feature if you use it on your friends and family. Tapping the "twirly camera" icon will let you use the camera on the back and take photos by tapping the shutter button.

Now that you have a better idea of how to go about using your iPad, you should be able to use it for more things. Have fun using the apps, track your workout program, use it to help your kids learn, and more. The iPad is a great tool for just about anything!
