Everybody--young and old--has an iPad these days. Kids are using them to learn in school, and adults are using them to conduct business at the office. The iPad has nearly infinite uses. Get the most out of this magical device with the easy to use and helpful tips in the article below.

You can add the Google Calendar and everything you stored in it to your iPad. Just go into Settings, choose Mail, Contacts and lastly Calendars. First add an account, then select Other. Tap Add CalDAV Account then enter your Google data.

Try controlling notifications. Sometimes, you'll find alerts to be annoying. You can tame these apps using the notifications tab of the settings app. Here you have the ability to manage the notifications allowed for each of your apps. This will keep your alerts for things that actually matter.

You don't have to send pictures like you used to ever again. There is no need to attach them to emails. For a simple way to send a picture, all you need to do is pick the picture you'd like to share, press on the arrow that is located at the upper-right corner, then press "email."

Were you aware that the Google Maps app lets you use the feature "Street View?" Just enter a search first and look for the red pin. Tap the pin and a small icon will appear. Tap this icon and you will be able to access Street View.

Use your iPad to enjoy music purchased from iTunes. There is a simple way to access your iTunes account without having to reinvent the wheel on your new device. All you have to do is enable Home Sharing, which will sync up your iPad. Next, visit the Music application on your device, hit More and then Shared. Then enjoy your music!

There is a way to keep your kids safe as they surf on the iPad. Under the settings function, simply limit the mature content that can be viewed. This setting will allow you to block anything labeled adult.

Are you sick of your iPad asking you to become part of a Wi-Fi network? Then go to settings and eliminate the possibility. Look for an option called Ask To Join that is referring to networks. Choose that and you won't be bothered with incoming invites.

Now you can quickly mute your iPad. The original iPads did not have a mute button. The iOS 4.3 allowed its users to utilize the switch-lock. To quickly mute your iPad now, just press and hold the volume-down button.

iPads need screen protectors, period. Basically, it is plastic that goes over the screen. This works to prevent scratches, fingerprints and other damage from being inflicted on your screen. A screen protector is essential because a scratched or smeared screen is difficult to use.

You don't have to tap the camera roll icon that's in the bottom-left of your screen to see a video or photo you've just taken. Just swipe your finger to the right to find the video or picture you just took. To view other photos you have stores, swipe toward the left side of the screen.

If you bought the iPad for your child and are concerned about them seeing mature content, you can change the settings to block that kind of content. Under the settings function, simply limit the mature content that can be viewed. This can block anything that you would not want your child to see.
