Instead of wading hopelessly through your music library looking for that one song you want, or endlessly hacking through your Contacts. It’s much quicker to make use of the Spotlight search – it can search both iPod and Contacts. Flick right on the Home screen to access Spotlight search, or press the Home button.
There are four apps in the iPad’s Dock (the shelf along the bottom of the Home Screen) by default, but you can have up to six apps here for quick access. Press and hold any icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wobble, then drag two more apps to your Dock.
Unlike the iPhone, there’s no dedicated mute button on the iPad. However, you can still cut the sound in a hurry if you need to pretend you’re doing something serious instead of watching the latest YouTube viral. Simply keep the ‘Volume down’ button depressed and the sound will mute.
