MASTER THE MULTITOUCH SCREEN

The iPad has no mouse and no physical keyboard or keypad buttons; the multitouch screen displays virtual versions of buttons and controls as required for the tasks at hand. To try:

Flick a finger on the screen to scroll through music, pictures, e-mails, contacts, and more.

Tap an icon to open applications, play songs, choose photos, and so on.

Pinch and unpinch to enlarge/reduce web pages and pictures by placing your thumb and index finger against the screen. Then keeping the thumb in place, drag your index finger to pinch or unpinch accordingly.

Trust the iPad virtual keyboard. It makes suggestions and corrects mistakes on the fly.

Tap anywhere in text to select one or more words.

Swipe left or right with four or five fingers to switch between recently used apps

Double-tap the Home button to see the icons of recently used apps

Correct errors in a note or e-mail by holding your fingers against the iPad screen to bring up a magnifying glass that lets you position the pointer in the precise spot that needs to be edited. Lift your finger when the cursor (a vertical line) is in the proper spot.

EASY TROUBLESHOOTING

Most of the time, your iPad behaves itself, but every so often it doesn't. Here's a quick review of things you can try if your iPad isn't working the way you expect:

1. Reset your network connection

If you can't connect to websites, tap the Settings icon on your Home screen, and then tap General→Reset→Reset Network Settings, which often cures network connectivity issues.

2. Restart your iPad

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the red slider to turn it off. Wait a few seconds. Press the Sleep/Wake button to turn on the iPad again.

3. Reset your iPad

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button while you press and hold the Home button at the same time. This forces your iPad to restart. Ignore the Slide to Power Off slider when it appears; continue to hold down both buttons until you see the Apple logo in the middle of the screen.
