iPads have taken our modern world by a storm, and it isnt hard to grasp why. There are hundreds of unique functions that an iPad offers, but a simple laptop just doesnt cut close. Read on below for some unique insider tips that can make using your new device a cinch!

You know your iPad has a tiny camera image in the bottom left of the screen, but you do not actually have to tap this to view the most recently taken video or picture. Simply swipe your finger to the right to see the most recent video or photo. After this, swipe left to see older content.

Want a manual for your iPad? Youll have to download it. Apple has a minimalist approach towards their products.

Do you have multiple users on the same iPad? You may not want them to view your online history. You can delete the browser history quickly. Open the Settings app and tap on Safari. Once Safari is open, then tap on the Clear History button. This will clear the cache and all cookies.

Are your spotlight searches taking too long? You can restrict the folders that are searched by going into your settings. Tap on general and select Spotlight search. You can then choose which folders will be included in your search, which is very useful if you only use this search feature to find media content.

Find out about other Apple products. You may be able to use your iPad in tandem with other devices in the Apple family, making your use of all of them much easier. You can look at the Apple site, or you can just search on the internet for ways that you may be able to use other Apple devices.

It is easy to copy/paste text section when working on your iPad. Tap the text you wish to copy, hold, then choose select to select the words you are interested in copying. If the text has a yellow highlight, youve done it correctly. Choose "copy" to save the text to the clipboard. You can now paste in the text if you just tap, hold and select "paste."

Password protect your device. This can be a great way to keep prying eyes away from your information and your iPad. Think of a password you can remember, and make sure that it is not the same password as the one you use everywhere else. Write it down so that you can retrieve it if you forget.

Use Folders. You can now put folders on your iPad. Simply press down on one icon until it begins to jiggle, and then place it "on top" of another icon. You will then create a folder that includes both of those icons. This can be a quick way to organize all of the things you have on your iPad.

Did your iPad download get interrupted? Did you never receive that bonus item that was supposed to come with your new iTunes album? These are issues that are easily corrected. Just pick the Store menu in iTunes, and look for the option to check for any downloads you may have available.

Unlike a personal computer where you need to constantly worry about viruses and spyware, the iPad is incredibly well protected against these things. Be sure to update your device as often as possible, but in general you need not worry about destroying your iPad with unsafe web-surfing or downloaded applications.
