(Continued from page 8) 7. To DELETE an app you no longer want, touch
please ask Google! By the way, these tips are
helpful for the iPhone as well:
1. You should know and have written down your
Apple ID Account and password (so you can
purchase and download apps, even free ones).
Also, if you use a “passcode” to access your de-
vice, write that down too!
2. Verify that your iPad is on Wi-Fi or not. Touch
Settings and see that Wi-Fi should display the
network name or ID if you are connected or “not
connected” if you are not.
3. Check for any software (apps) updates. See if
there are any numbers on your “App Store” icon.
If so, touch icon and download the updates.
4. Organize your apps icons on your screens.
Touch and HOLD on any icon until they all vi-
brate. Now you can DRAG any icon to any place
on any screen. Drag icon to left or right edge of
screen to place on another screen. (Note the
small white and gray dots toward the bottom of
your screen shows the number of screens you
have.) Let up finger to place icon. Hit HOME but-
ton to exit the “vibrating” mode and get back to
normal.
5. Getting a new app: Open the “App Store” icon
and enter a search word or two in the “Search”
bar at the top of the screen. Try it! (golf game,
maps, movies, puzzles, news, etc. are all sam-
ples of search words, try your words).
6. Before downloading or trying a new app: In
the App Store, touch any app to learn more
about it.

and HOLD the app icon until it vibrates. Touch
the small “X” that appears in the upper left of the
icon and your app will be deleted from your de-
vice. If there is no “X” you cannot delete the app.
Sorry, you do not get your money back if you
purchased the app.
8. Close previously used apps from memory.
Double-click the home button and your previous-
ly opened app pages will appear on the left side.
Drag UP each app to remove it from memory.
9. Turn your iPad completely off periodically by
HOLDING down the off/on button until “Slide to
power off” appears. Then do it. HOLD the off/on
button down until a white apple appears to turn
on your iPad after a power-down.
10. Know some basic symbols such as for Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, battery, airplane mode, and the
“busy” rotating symbols.
11. Backup your important apps on iCloud. In
Settings, touch your name/account, then touch
“iCloud” (it has your account name under it), in
the list that appears, turn “ON” the iCloud for
each app, such as Contacts, Calendars, Notes,
etc. These will be backed up for you on iCloud.
12. Adjust brightness. In Settings, touch “Display
and Brightness”. I like using “AutoBrightness” so
I have that turned on.
Learn something NEW about your iPad often.
Talk to friends, take a class, and, most im-
portant, use the Safari app that comes with your
iPad or ASK GOOGLE (you can download the
Google app for free). Here are some sample
