Discover how your third-generation iPad can help you communicate, do your work, and enjoy media in this guide from the experts at Macworld. You'll start with directions for activating a new iPad. Next, you'll learn key basics, including how to run the touchscreen with gestures, handle the Home screen, set up the Settings app, and download more apps from Apple's App Store.
With the basics out of the way, you'll find advice for going online with a cellular data connection or Wi-Fi, browsing the Web with Safari, exchanging email with Mail, sending text-based messages in Messages, video chatting in FaceTime, and navigating in Maps. There's a long chapter about work-related apps, including Calendar, Reminders, and Notes; Apple's iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote); and a brief discussion of working with Office documents and Google Docs. The ebook also describes how to enjoy music, view videos, read ebooks, and play games on the iPad, and it caters to your creativity with getting-started looks at Apple's GarageBand, Camera, iPhoto, and iMovie apps.
A troubleshooting chapter discusses what to do if an app freezes or acts oddly. It also offers solutions to common problems such as iTunes syncing issues, Wi-Fi connection woes, a broken screen, a "Not Charging" message, and more.
