Buy a good-quality case and screen protector for your iPad. You probably paid a lot of money for your iPad, so you need to ensure that you keep it protected against damage. A good-quality case will protect your iPad from minor accidental falls, while a screen protector will stop the screen from getting scratched.

 

Never leave your iPad in a hot car or any similar environment. The intense heat saps devices of battery power. Exposing it to extreme heat and light can affect the battery's ability to hold a charge for long periods. This type of damage is not covered in your warranty, making this a pricey mistake.

 

You can extend the life of your iPad's battery by using the device in Airplane Mode. In Airplane Mode, WiFi and wireless radio are disabled. This is ideal if you do not require an Internet connection to use your iPad. You will still be able to use your tablet to read e-books, play games and use certain apps without draining the battery.

 

If time is of the essence, avoid charging your iPad with an iPhone charger. The iPad carries 10 watts as opposed to just 5 watts for the iPhone. If you use that iPhone battery charger, it will be twice the time to charge. Use the charger that came with your iPad instead.

 

Keep an eye on the amount of downloadable space available on your iPad. After a few years of using an iPad many people find that they go to download something they want only to find that they do not have space available. Remove unwanted apps and music from time to time so this does not happen to you.

 

Turn off your Wi-Fi when not in use. Your iPad will constantly search for Wi-Fi signals even when you don't want it to. That is, if your Wi-Fi is turned on. When you are out and about and don't need Wi-Fi, simply turn it off. It will extend your battery.

 

Back up your iPad often. Your iPad will soon be a major piece of your daily life, holding entertainment, notes, and even important documents. Make it a habit to do a back up of your iPad every night so that there is no chance that these documents will be lost forever. Remember, your iPad is still a piece of technology; it can break or brick without much warning.

 

By clicking two times on your iPad's Home button you can quickly view a list of the applications that are currently running. They will appear in a bar located at the bottom of your iPad's screen. If you want to change to a new app, just tap on it once. You can remove this bar by swiping the screen down.

 

No matter who you are, an iPad can improve your daily life. This article,in turn, can improve your iPad use. By implementing these tips you will be able to have an easier time with your iPad and enjoy the benefits it can bring into your life, home or office.
