Some handy tips for iPad use- ===--Use four fingers to swipe left or right on your iPad 4 to switch between your previously used/running apps, pinch all of your fingers together to return to the Home screen, or swipe up to access your multi-tasking menu. Toggle the function on by tapping ‘Settings’ and choosing ‘General.’=== ===--If you’re sick and tired of your screen automatically rotating when you lean then you need to lock your display’s orientation. To do this, double tap on the ‘Home’ button to bring up the app screen, and swipe to the right until you see the little circular arrow icon – tap it and you’re good to go.=== ===--Whenever your on-screen keyboard pops up, tap the microphone icon and say what you wish to type aloud. When you’re done, tap the icon again. Siri will then transcribe your comments, leaving your hands to do other things.=== ===--Screenshot-This is an oldie but a goodie: Press the ‘Home’ button and the ‘Sleep/Wake’ button at the same time to snap a screenshot, which you can use in place of transcribing text…or for saving things for posterity.===

--Battery life- If you want to make your battery last longer then turn down your brightness and switch off ‘Auto-Brightness’ by tapping ‘Settings’ and choosing ‘Brightness & Wallpaper.’
===--Punctuation- Need to add an apostrophe to your text? Press and hold the ‘!’ button and swipe up. Need to add a quotation? Press and hold the ‘?’ and do the same. If it’s a period you’re after then try double tapping the ‘Space’ bar.=== ===--Do not disturb- iOS 6’s Do Not Disturb feature is great, it allows you to set your device to mute all notifications at a certain time of day (or night). Turn it on by tapping ‘Settings’ and toggling the ‘Do Not Disturb’ switch and personalise your options in the right pane.===
