Understanding the iPad Settings
You can go to Settings to troubleshoot problems with your iPad, connect to a WiFi network, get better battery life, or set push notifications for apps. In this article, we’re going to explore Settings and teach you how to configure the various options that iPad provides. To access Settings, tap the icon on your Home screen.
Tap General on the left side of your iPad screen.
Remember, your Settings screen may look slightly different based on the version of the iPad you’re using, and things you have installed. In addition, you’ll be able to see the model of your iPad, and the serial number.
The Usage area of General settings shows you how much space or memory you’ve used up on your iPad. In the Sounds section, you can control the sounds you hear when you receive an email, send an email, send a tweet, tap the keyboard, and etc.
When you connect your iPad to your computer, you can sync all music, podcasts, books, and apps. The Auto-Lock setting, pictured below, will automatically lock the iPad after an amount of time that you specify. You could set a passcode that a user would have to enter to unlock your iPad. You can restrict kids or other users from using Safari (the web browser), installing apps, viewing videos, and TV in the Restrictions area of General settings.
Below is a snapshot of the TV show settings where you can choose the allowed ratings: Simply place your fingers on the iPad and pull them together as if you were picking up something. You also can choose if you want the date and time to select automatically, or if you want to set it yourself. By default, the settings are based on the country where you purchased the iPad.
You can adjust the accessibility settings so that users who are visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or have a physical disability can use the iPad. Using Apple’s Push Notification Service, app developers can send alerts related to their programs on your iPad.
These may be text alerts, but they can be sounds too, and you can receive these notifications even if the app isn’t running. However, the iPad does allow you to manage which notifications (alerts) you get from which apps.
To do this, tap Settings on the Home screen, then Notifications on the left. Location Services lets your iPad know where you’re at when connected to WiFi. You can also turn on Location Services for different apps, such as maps. Tap on Brightness and Wallpaper on the left-hand side in Settings.
Make sure this feature is turned on in Settings under Location Services. If you lose your iPad and need to find it, all you have to do is log into iCloud from a computer. Next, choose to either send a display message, or play a sound on the iPad. You can type a message to the person who might have your iPad if it was lost and someone found it. Safari is the iPad web browser that you use to surf the Internet. By default, the icon for Safari is docked at the bottom of the iPad Home screen. Safari gives you a lot of tools to help you organize the web pages you visit and save them for later. Tap the book icon at the top left of the Safari window. As you see above, we haven’t added any web pages to our reading list. Perhaps you stumble upon an article while surfing that you want to read, but don’t have the time. To add a web page to your reading list, tap the action button (the plus sign at the top right corner of the Reading List window. If you select copy, remember to paste the link somewhere else so you don’t lose it.
Tabbed browsing simply means you can have more than one web page open at a time. You can tap on a link and have the web page open in a new tab (as we did above).
Or you can tap the plus sign in the upper right hand corner of the Safari window : It’s the cloud symbol that appears between the Bookmarks and Share button at the top of the Safari window.
Most people bookmark their favorite pages or ones they visit often, such as a news site or Facebook. To bookmark a page, tap the Action tab at the top of the Safari screen.
Now tap the red negative sign to delete the bookmark. You can clip the web page, which means you’ll add an icon for it on your Home screen.
That way, you can just tap on the icon and open the page without having to mess with navigating through bookmarks in Safari. To clip a web page, open it in Safari, then tap the Action button. You can share web pages by email, Facebook, or by Twitter through Safari. In other words, you can suggest other people read the web page you’re viewing by sending an email or a tweet.
When you’re finished, press SEND in the upper right hand corner of the message window. If you don’t have a Twitter account configured, tap Settings. If you already have it configured, you can go ahead and create your tweet and push the blue Send button.
NOTE: Older versions of the iPad may not offer Facebook as a sharingoption. If you don’t see Facebook listed, you can simply press on the link in the address bar, select Copy, then go to Facebook for iPad and paste. Here you can change the default search engine (Google), turn on AutoFill, have new tabs open in the background, show the Bookmarks Bar, etc.
All the settings for Safari are self-explanatory and based on personal preference.
