1. How to customize wallpaper on iPad.
The same as the iPhone, you can use custom wallpaper on iPad, too. First, use Safari interfacelift.com) to find the image you want.
View the image, then press and hold on the screen and select Save Image. Now, go to Settings, Brightness & Wallpaper. Flick to the right, go to Saved Photos, and select the image. Press the Set Lock Screen or Set Home Screen option, or both.
2. Password Protection
You can use password-protect apps like iTunes so that a family member can’t buy every U2 record with your credit card. Go to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. Press Enable Restrictions and type a password, then turn on the restrictions you want for the apps available. Note that this password is different from your iTunes password – you’ll need to tap in both.
3. Turn iPad caps lock on
To type a capital letter on the Onscreen Keyboard you first tap the left or right shift key, then the letter. If you need to type a whole word in caps can be painful. Save time typing in caps by turning the caps lock on. To do this double tap on either shift key.
4. Use the magnifying glass
You're entering text but you realize you've made a mistake a couple of lines back. You either fumble about with your finger trying to get back to the exact place, or you use the magnifying glass. Touch and hold your finger in the right area and the magnifying glass appears, enabling you to fine tune your insertion point.
5. Take an iPad screenshot
Like the iPhone, you can take also a screenshot by pressing Home and then the power button. Images are saved automatically in the Photos gallery. Here, you can view or email them.
6. Increase iPad battery life
The iPad battery can last for up to 10 hours, but you can squeak out a bit more usage. Drag the brightness slider (under Settings, Brightness) as low as you can stand, turn off both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (under Settings), don't play and videos or music, and avoid gaming apps.
7. Edit your Email Signature
You can change the ’sent from my iPad’ and custom your own email signature under emails. Go to Settings > Mail > Contacts and Calendars > Select Signature. Type in what you want.
8. Easy Mute
There you are, in the back row of a funeral just minding your own business when, oops, you forgot to mute those YouTube clips on your iPad! No worries. There's a quick way to cut the speaker.
Holding down the volume down button for about two seconds will mute your iPad.
9. The Soft Reset
The single most common thing people don't realize about the iPhone OS (from my experience) is how to perform a soft reset—which you'll find extremely useful in cases when the system freezes.
Just hold the top (power) and bottom front (home) button for a few seconds. Your iPad will restart. To force quit an application, just hold the home button by itself in a similar fashion.
10. Import your iPod music and movies.
Share iPod content with iPad is necessary, but iTunes doesn’t allow you to do that if your iPod content is not purchased on Apple Store. With third party software iPod to iPad transfer, you can easily copy iPod music and movies to iPad with ease.
