TIPS AND TRICKS - for those of us who don't know!

[HappyDaze]

Check out this website to learn how to quickly insert punctuation when typing. Instead of tapping the number key, entering the number and then tapping the ABC key, you can just tap/hold/swipe.

The article describes it better than I ever could, so here it is:

I've used this tip almost every day. Very handy!

Great tip. I just tried it. This will save me lots of tapping!

Creating a folder. Drag and drop an app on top of another to create a new folder. You can rearrange the apps in that folder and also change it's name.

First post on here..... Are there any apps or ways to print from the iPad to printers that are not Air enabled?

Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of great people here willing to lend a hand any time.

Your best bet is to always use the search feature (located at the top of every page). For instance your question about printing has been asked many, many times and there are a number of threads about it. Simply type in "Print" for the search and all of the threads will be available instantly. You can even search in more detail by clicking on "Search this thread" linked at the top of every thread.

This is probably one of the best answers about printing with the iPad...

I've been using an app called PrintBureau for about a year now and it has worked flawlessly with our three different brands of printers.

How to type in caps? Is there a caps lock? Instead of tapping the shift button for each letter

 

[88raymond]

double-click the shift key. when the area surrounding the arrow is all blue, you're in the caps-lock mode (but first, check "enable caps lock" in settings / general / keyboard)

I've had the first iPad since January & only found this thread today.

Wow - I've leaned SO much and I've actually read all 25 pages!

THANKS everyone. It's given my iPad a whole new lease of life. Can't wait to share these tips with friends.

That little iPhoto picture that is on some lock screens and not on others is an option that is found in the passcode section of settings! When it is on you have the option of having a slide show of your photos that will run while your screen is locked -perhaps while charging.

How long did that take you to read 25 pages?

I did it over 2 nights. I had to try out each tip as I went along & eventually had to make notes for the ones I'll use most.
