4. Two More Dock Icons
The dock at the bottom of the screen comes with four icons by default. Did you know you can add two
more? You can have up to six! To add two more, just hold your finger down on any of the apps until they are
shaking. Then drag the one you want down to the dock, press the home button and that’s it.
5. Take A Screenshot
If you want a screen shot of anything on the iPad or within an application so you can email it, print it or save it,
just press the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time. The screen will flash and if you have the
sounds activated it will play a shutter sound. The image is now saved in your Photos app.
6. Pause Downloads
If you need to pause a download because your battery is running low or it is slowing your Internet down, just
tap the app while it is downloading and it will pause automatically. Tap again to resume.
7. Restarting
Sometimes it’s necessary to reboot the iPad if it is having problems that aren’t resolving. In order to do this,
just press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button together for about 10 seconds. Ignore the slide to
power off message and your iPad shuts down. Now turn it on as you normally do and it should work fine.
8. Forcing A Misbehaving App To Quit
Sometimes Apps get weird. They can freeze and stop responding. To deal with that, press and hold the
Steep/Wake button until the slide to power off message appears. Let go of the button and then press the Home
button for around six seconds. This forces the current app to quick and allows you to get back to work.
9. Starting All Over
Need to completely wipe the slate clean and restore it? No problem. Each time you sync, a backup is created.
To restore your iPad to that last backup just connect it to your computer. Wait for iTunes to start. Click the iPad
icon and then click the Restore button to begin.
10. iPad Not Charging?
In general it is best to always charge the iPad with the included power adapter. If you do charge it through a
USB port on your computer, it will only charge when the screen is off.
