An iPad is useful for a number of different reasons. If you connect a keyboard, it becomes a word processor. Use a joystick with it and you have a gaming system. Put the right app on and it’s a video conferencing system. Use the following advice to get everything you need from your iPad.

The iPad’s iOS supports folders now. To use, hold down your finger on the app you want until it moves, drag that app atop another icon, and finally, let it go. The result will be a folder containing both of your apps together. You can easily rename this folder.

You can get to all the running apps on your tablet. Just push the Home button twice in succession to show an icon for each running app. If you want to go to one of these apps, just click it on the bottom bar. Just swipe downwards on the screen to remove it.

Sometimes you will get a frustrating wifi-network prompt during the day. This feature can be turned off under your settings. Select Wi-Fi, and from there, you can turn off this feature.

Double clicking the Home button will let you know everything that is currently running. The lower bar will display the currently active apps and some brief information. To eliminate this feature, simply swipe down and you will be back to the normal setting.

Regardless of the reason that you purchased your iPad, you will soon find that it has even more to offer than you expected. You just need a little knowledge of how to set up the iPad for your specific needs. Use the things that were learned here and you’ll have more fun with your gadget.
