Ten useful Apple iPad tips, tricks

Using Apple’s iPad isn’t exactly rocket science, but if you didn’t take the time to read the owner’s manual, here are some quick and neat tips and tricks that can help you get the most out of your tablet.

1. Open Safari links in a new page

Remember that you can have multiple webpages loaded in Safari simultaneously. So if you’re not sure about a link or want to keep your current page open, you can open the link in a new window (a little like tabbed browsing, but without the tabs).

To do this, rather than just tap the link, press and hold it until you see an option to “Open in New Page”, hit this, and Safari will open a new window and load that link.

To manage the pages you have open or to return to another page, look to the top of the browser and there you’ll see an icon that looks like two overlapping boxes or pages. If you press the icon, it will show you all the pages you have open (just like in the graphic below). From here you can tap any of the “X” buttons to close an individual page.

2. Activate AutoFill in Safari

The AutoFill option is a great time saver for anyone who knows and trusts anyone else who might use their iPad, as it automatically remembers your usernames and passwords for services.

To activate it, ensure your details are saved in “Contacts”, then head to “Settings”, choose “Safari”, and click “AutoFill” and then set both options to “On” and select your file from “Contacts” in the “My Info” field.

3. Quick mute your iPad

Although the iPad has no “mute” option, you can still quickly silence your device by pressing and holding the down volume button — this quickly drops the volume down to zero in about two seconds.

4. Make use of the home button

The iPad’s “Home” button will take you to your homepage if pressed once, but it has a few other functions worth knowing about as well.

To access these functions, go to “Settings,” press “General”, then choose “Home”. Here you can select which function you’d like a double press of the button to carry out, such as opening up “Spotlight Search” or accessing the iPod.

From this area in “Settings” you can also set “iPod Controls” to “On”, which will mean when you have music playing and you’re in another program or app, a double press of the “Home” button will bring up basic music controls.

5. Add a website shortcut to your home screen

There is a quick way to add shortcuts to your favorite sites directly to your home screen.

Head to the webpage you want to create the shortcut to, tap the “+” sign at the top of the page and select “Add to Home Screen”. This will then create a shortcut icon offering one-click access to your most-used sites.

6. Make iBooks more user-friendly

The iBooks app’s swipe-to-turn the page function is really nice when you first play with it, but the truth is (and it’s especially true if you’re a fast reader) it gets a little old if you’re settling down to read more than a few pages.

You can tweak iBook’s settings to offer a shortcut to go to the next page, if you simply tap the left margin.

To make this the case, head to “Settings”, then under the “Apps” section, press “iBooks”, then “Tap Left Margin” and make sure “Next Page” is ticked, which will change it from the default option — the previous page.

7. Activate iPod sound check

You know how annoying it is when your songs play at different volume levels, leaving you either scrambling to get across the room to turn it down, or sighing with frustration as an inaudible track comes on? Well there’s a way to stop that from happening.

All you need do is navigate yourself to “Settings”, click “iPod” and then turn “Sound Check” to “On”, which will help regulate volume levels.

Oh, and while you’re there, take note of the “EQ” menu that offers a tonne of different sound options depending on the style of music you’re listening to, or you can regulate sound levels for spoken words to help optimise sound for podcasts or audio-books.

8. Squeeze six apps into the dock

Until iOS4.2 arrives in November, bringing with it the joy of folders, there are a few ways to help organise your apps and make items you use often more accessible.

You can have 11 pages to arrange your apps on, so although there’s no way to make a games folder, for example, you could drag and drop all your games apps onto one page to create a themed “games” page.

Also, the dock can have up to six apps in it, so you can pick two more than the standard layout offers (just touch an app until it wiggles then drag it into the dock to move it) to make more items closer to hand from any screen.

9. Use a space bar trick

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts, tips and tricks previously brought to you for iOS devices, there is one more spacebar trick to share.

The spacebar will create as many spaces as there are fingers on it, so one finger will produce one space, two fingers two spaces and so on.

We can’t see that this is going to be the most useful trick you’ll ever learn, but it’s interesting if for no other reason than to see how the Apple engineers had fun with the display’s multi-touch capabilities.

10. Download the iPad user guide e-book

Did you know you can download the official Apple iPad User Guide as an e-book?

While available in Safari’s pre-loaded bookmarks, for offline access to the guide simply download it for free from the iBooks store, and search for “iPad”.

Download it now, and the next time you have a iPad query and are not hooked up to the internet you’ll be ready to go.

谢谢分享。

我最frustrating的是键盘上没有方向键, 打字的时候要插入点东西真的很难

还有保存网页上的图片,有的时候可以有的时候不可以, 是不是和网页的设置有关系呢?(monkey28)

似乎都见过了，不过对新手来说还是很有用。

一开始我都不知道Dock上的APP是可以换的。

iPad作为输入设备是一塌糊涂的，不过回复不超过十个字的邮件或者帖子，还是可以的。

谁能告诉我，怎么可以去掉打英文时候那个联想功能
实在太烦人了

那你习惯得还不行, 我打字老快了, 有物理键盘80%的效率, 但是就是不能移动光标让我很头痛,希望下一代可以更新(monkey28)

我现在是手写。因为拼音没有模糊音设置，我几乎没法用。

当然也可以越狱去装第三方的输入法。但是一想到啥不能升级到最新版本，啥可能耗电厉害，啥可能白屏，啥折腾，我就想算了。手写也不慢，没必要浪费几个小时去折腾这种没用的知识。

就希望苹果收购一个中文输入，或者合作也行。。。直接把Mac上IMK买了也行啊。苹果又不缺钱。最差最差也加个模糊音好不好。。。

同感，要插入，或者复制的时候
每次我都要神经崩溃。有时候真的崩溃了，干脆全部删掉，重新来

要插入。。。 tap and hold，放大镜出来以后随便移动就好了。
