Hardware

Which iPad Do I Own?

Apple has released multiple different versions of the iPad. Here's a timeline:

To determine which iPad model you have you will need to tap on:

Settings > General > About > Legal > Regulatory

You will need to look for the Model number at the top of Regulatory screen. Example: A1458

Get To Know Your iPad Hardware

The Home Button has various functions. The Home Button is not the "undo" button.

Single click Home Button

• If your iPad is sleeping and you click the Home Button it will wake up and ask you to slide to unlock.
• If you're in an app like Safari, Mail, Angry Birds, etc. and you click the Home Button you'll return to the Home Screen with all your app icons.
• If you're on your second or third Home Screen and click the Home Button you'll return to your main (first) Home Screen.
• If you're using Search and click the Home Button you'll go back to the Home Screen you were previously on.
• If you're iPad is sleeping but still playing music or media (Music app, Pandora app, iHeart Radio app) and you double click the Home Button the Audio controls will pop up on the lock screen so you can play, pause, skip, etc. (Will discuss in iPad - Exploring Entertainment)

Double click Home Button

• If you're on the Home Screen or using an app and you double click the Home Button the Multitasking screen will be revealed so you can quickly switch between apps. (Will discuss in iPad - Tricks Of The Trade)

Press and Hold Home Button For Two Seconds

• If your press and hold the Home Button on an iPad 3, iPad 4, or iPad mini, Siri will pop up and you can ask questions and give commands with your voice. (Will discuss in iPad - Tricks Of The Trade)

The Multi-Touch Display allows you to interact with your iPad with your fingers. There are various gestures that you can perform. I have listed some basic ones below. (We will cover more advance multi-touch gestures in iPad - Tricks Of The Trade)

TAP

Tapping on your iPad is like clicking your mouse on a computer. Tapping is the most common and basic gesture.

DOUBLE-TAP

Tap an object twice quicky to double-tap. Double-taps are primarily used for zooming in or out on text.

SLIDE, SWIPE, & FLICK

Swiping is one of your primary navigational tools: You use a left or right swipe to move through app pages on your Home screen or images in the Photos app; you use an up or down swipe to read text in Safari, iBooks, Newsstand, or elsewhere. It’s one of the easiest gestures to learn. Some people will also refer to swiping as sliding.

A flick is just like a swipe, only faster. The faster or slower you move your finger, the faster or slower content will move. If you want to get to the bottom of a page quickly, just flick your finger upward in a fast motion.

Note: All flicking and swiping on your device is inverse, meaning that when you move your finger up (in other words, swipe up), you’re actually moving whatever is on the screen downward. This is the opposite of how most people are use to using a mouse on a computer. Apple has changed scrolling on the Mac to match the iPad.

The FaceTime Camera can be used with FaceTime or Skype to video chat with others. The kids like to use the FaceTime Camera with Photo Booth to take goofy photos of themselves.

The iSight Camera allows you to take photos and record video. I wouldn't recommend using the iPad camera as your primary camera on a nice vacation or at a special event (wedding, graduation, baptism) as the picture quality is subpar. Videos turn out pretty nice though! (Will discuss in iPad - Tricks Of The Trade)

The speaker can be found on the bottom left corner on the back of the iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPad 4. The speaker can be found on the bottom near the 30 pin connector or Lightning connector on the Original iPad and the iPad mini.

The Headphone Jack allows you to plug in a set of speakers or a pair of earbuds/headphones into your iPad. You do not need to use Apple branded speakers or earbuds/headphones.

Here are a couple scenarios where you might want to use a pair of earbuds/headphones:

• Watching a movie on an airplane
• Listening to an audiobook while someone else is in the room reading

The Microphone can be found along the top of the iPad. It is active while using FaceTime, Skype, Siri or the Camera app (recording videos). It is important that you don't cover the Microphone with your hand while holding the iPad if you are using one of these apps. You can also download apps to record voice memos.

The On/Off switch is found along the top of the iPad and is also called the Sleep/Wake Switch. I rarely turn my iPad off. I just let it go to sleep when I am not using it.

If your iPad is acting goofy, I would recommend that you turn the iPad off and turn it back on. This can clear up many of the random issues that might come up with an iPad (once again, I rarely ever have to turn my iPad off).

30 Pin Connector can be found on the Original iPad, iPad 2, and iPad 3. The 30 Pin to USB cable can only be plugged into your iPad one way. If the iPad is facing you, the 30 Pin to USB cable should have a little oval with a line in the center of it facing you. If you try jamming the 30 Pin to USB cable upside down, you can cause damage to the cable or your iPad.

While listening to audio (music, podcasts, audiobooks, videos, etc.) you can adjust the volume using the Volume Up/Down switch on the side of your iPad. If you are expecting a FaceTime or Skype call on your iPad, make sure that your volume is turned up so you can hear when the call comes in.

The Side Switch can do two different tasks. It can either be a Mute switch or a Lock Rotation switch.

You can tell that the Side Switch is active if it is flipped in the bottom position and you can see an orange dot.

I prefer to have my Side Switch be a Lock Rotation switch since I like to lock my iPad in horizontal mode most of the time unless I am reading on it. To learn how to change what your Side Switch does, watch the video below by clicking on the word VIDEO.

Operating System

iOS is the name of the software that runs your iPad. The current version of iOS is 7.0

To view what version of iOS you have on your iPad you can follow the steps below:

1. Tap Settings
2. Tap General
3. Tap About

The iOS version is listed under Version.

The original iPad can be updated to 5.1.1 and can't be updated to iOS 6.

If you have an iPad (except for the original) that is not on 7.0 then you can learn how to update your iPad to iOS 7 (released on September 18th) on Macworld's website or by watching the video below.

Accessories

There are numerous accessories available for the iPad. Here are some of the ones that I mentioned during class.

AirPrint Compatible Printers

It is very important that a printer says it is AirPrint compatible. If the printer says it is wireless but does not say AirPrint compatible there is a strong possibility that it will not work. You can find a list of printers that are AirPrint Compatible on Apple's website.

I would recommend the Epson WorkForce WF-3520. I have had numerous clients purchase this printer and it is easy to setup, works well, and is reasonably priced. This is the printer I would recommend for my parents if they were in the market for an AirPrint compatible printer.

Transferring Photos From Camera

If you would like to put your photos directly on the iPad from your camera you will need to purchase one of the following:

30 Pin Connector (Original iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3) - Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Lightning Connector (iPad 4, iPad mini, iPad Air) - Lightning To SD Card Camera Reader

Lightining Connector (iPad 4, iPad mini, iPad Air) - Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter

These adapters are very easy to use. You plug them into your iPad, plug in your camera or SD card, and the photo app opens up, you tap Import on the bottom row, and you either tap on the individual photos that you want or tap Import All.

Bluetooth Keyboards

If you want to do alot of typing on your iPad you may want to consider a Bluetooth Keyboard. It is important that the keyboad says that it is Bluetooth compatible or otherwise it will not work.

Apple sells a keyboard that works with the iPad. You can find it at Apple Stores, Best Buy, or on Apple's website. It retails for approximately $79.

You may also want to check out the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard 760. It retails for approximately $55 on Amazon.

I mentioned in class that some people like to use a stylus instead of their finger to interact with the iPad. If you purchase one of these at a local store (Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart) you will probably spend between $10-$15.

Based on reviews online I would recommend amPen New Hybrid Stylus. It is currently listed at less than $7.

If you would like to use your iPad while it is charging and not have to sit right next to a power outlet you might want to consider the AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable. This will give you an additional 9 feet of cord to work with. It is currently listed at less than $5.

I am a big fan of iKlear. I purchased the iKlear Cleaning Kit in 2010 and still have some plenty left in the large bottle and haven't even used the small bottle. The iKlear Cleaning Kit includes a micro fiber cloth and some travel wipes.

**If you don't want to purchase iKlear, it is important to use a product that does not contain alcohol, ammonia, or sodium lauryl sulfate.

Always spray your cleaner directly on the cloth and not on the iPad screen.

Note: Updated video coming soon for Passcode Lock. iOS 7.1 changed the setup process a little bit.

Home Screen

The Home Screen is the primary way we interact with our iPad. The Home Screen is the place where we access all of our apps and the place where we return to when we are done using an app.

There are four primary elements of the Home Screen:

• Dock
• Screen Indicator Lights
• App Icons
• Status Bar

The Dock is a place for your favorite or most used apps. You can put up to 6 apps or Folders onto the Dock. The Dock is always found at the bottom of the Home Screen so it makes it easy to access your favorite or most used apps.

If you delete an app, you are deleting the data inside the app as well. For example, if you had an app that contains spreadsheets and you decided to delete the app, you would lose the spreadsheets that were inside that app as well.

If you deleted app, and determine later on that you want to get the app back, simply going to the App Store and download it for free.

You can search for the following items on your iPad:

• Contacts
• Applications
• Music
• Podcast
• Videos
• Audiobooks
• Notes
• Events
• Reminders
• Mail
• Messages

The App Store offers 900,000+ apps (as of June 2013) and over 50 billion apps downloaded (As of May 2013). There are apps for almost every purpose! Many apps are FREE and the ones that cost money are very affordable.

With the App Store, you don't have to worry about losing a CD or forgetting a serial number. Apple keeps a record of all your purchases so you can always re-download an app for free. You can also share your account with your spouse or others in your family so that you don't have to purchase the exact same app more than once.

To download an app tap on the grey rectangle that says FREE or $1.99. Then tap on INSTALL. Apple will ask for your account password and then the app will start to download.

If you need some help setting up an account to use with the App Store you can visit Apple's website for further instructions.
