Covers the latest iPad Air 2 and Mini 3 Get the important stuff you need to know The iPad Air 2 and mini 3. This book unearths all the secrets of the crazy-thin new iPads: better screens, faster chips, responsive fingerprint readers, Apple Pay. The iOS 8.1 software. Even older iPad models gain predictive typing, iCloud Drive, Family Sharing, “Hey Siri,” and about 195 more new features. It’s all here, in these pages. The iPad may be the world’s best-selling tablet computer, but it’s still a computer, with all of a computer’s complexities. iPad: The Missing Manual is a funny, gorgeously illustrated guide to the tips, shortcuts, and workarounds that will turn you, too, into an iPad master. What to expect from iPad: The Missing Manual This book s divided into five parts, each containing several chapters: Part 1- iPad Basics, covers everything related to instant communication: voice calls, video calls, text messaging, iMessages, and the Contacts (address book) program. It’s also where you can read about entering text, either by typing or by speaking; Siri, the “virtual assistant”; and the rich array of features for people with disabilities—some of which are surprisingly useful even for people without them. Part 2- Pix, Flix & Apps, is dedicated to the iPad’s built-in apps, with a special emphasis on its multimedia abilities: playing music, podcasts, movies, TV shows, and photos; capturing photos and videos; the Maps app; reading ebooks; and so on. These chapters also cover some of the standard techniques that most apps share: installing, organizing, and quitting them; switching among them; and sharing. Part 3- The iPad Online, is a detailed exploration of the iPad’s third talent: its ability to get you onto the Internet, either over a WiFi hotspot connection or (if you have a cellular model) via the cellular network. It’s all here: email, Web browsing, and tethering (that is, letting your phone serve as a sort of Internet antenna for your laptop). Part 4- Connections, describes the world beyond the iPad itself—like the copy of iTunes on your Mac or PC that can fill up the iPad with music, videos, and photos; and syncing the calendar, address book, and mail settings. These chapters also cover the iPad’s control panel, the Settings program; Continuity (the wireless integration of iPad and Mac); and how the iPad syncs wirelessly with corporate networks using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync—or with your own computers using Apple’s iCloud service. Part 5- Appendixes, contains two reference chapters. Appendix A walks you through the setup process; Appendix B is a master compendium of troubleshooting, maintenance, and battery information.
