If you use your iPad to store sensitive information, you can turn on a feature that will delete all this data in case a wrong password is entered ten times. Go to your settings, tap on general and select the pass-code lock feature. Use a password you will not easily forget.

 

Did you know that when you are charging your iPad on a flat surface, it can take a while for the battery light to appear? Don't panic! Plug it in and wait for a bit. The charging symbol will eventually appear and your iPad has been charging the entire time.

 

Go into your settings, navigate to "general" and slide the side switch to "lock orientation." Typically, this is set to mute, but that can be incredibly inconvenient. For example, if you are trying to read on your iPad, the screen may continuously rotate, causing you some frustration. Fix this ahead of time.

 

Take Apple's iTours to get yourself familiar with your new iPad. It is fun to have all these exciting new apps, but sometimes you could use a little help figuring out how to use them. Apple has an online video tour for every app that comes preinstalled on your device, so be sure to take a look at them.

 

Put an end to WiFi connect messages. Tired of being notified every time you stray into a WiFi zone? In the Wi-Fi section of Settings, there is an option to turn off "Ask to Join Networks." You can still manually join any network, the iPad will just stop notifying you of every time one is in range.

 

If you lose the iPad, do you want to know how to find it? Simply visit Settings and then iCloud. Enter your Apple ID, and then scroll down to "Find My iPad." Then activate it. By doing this, if you ever misplace your iPad, you can go to iCloud.com to find it.

 

If you have some recently purchased apps from the app store you want to hide, it's quite easy! Open up the App Store and click on the 'purchased' tab on the bottom of your screen. It should give you a list of apps and choose the one you wish to hide. Swipe over the app or right over it, and it should now grey out over the 'installed' button. A red button will pop up and you will now have the option to hide the app.

 

While you may have thought that iPad ownership is no more than just downloading apps and using them, you should now know it's more than that. What you've read here will get you started down the road to iPad mastery. The more you know, the better you'll find the iPad works out for you.
