Welcome to
There has never been a better time to join the iPad revolution. The current
range of tablets from Apple are among the most sophisticated, sleek and
powerful tablets in the world, especially with the newest additions, the iPad Air
2 and the iPad Mini 3. Theres been yet another fantastic update to the iPads
operating system in the form of iOS 8, which fine tunes the entire experience,
and brings with it a number of added functions to apps like Messages, Siri
and Photos. You can discover how to use these new tools in the Tips section
of this bookazine, which explores each of the iPads core apps in turn. But the
iPad would be a less exciting device if you were limited to just the core apps
which is why youll find great advice on how to use a range of exciting thirdparty apps in the Tricks chapter. Using the tutorials here, you can use your iPad
for everything from precision editing in iMovie to using templates in Pages.
Theres even more information on must-have apps in the bumper feature on
page 120, while if you want to go beyond what the iPad is capable of out of
the box, then turn to the Hacks chapter where you can discover a numbers of
ways to alter the appearance and functionality of your tablet. Enjoy the book.

iOS 8:
Everything you
need to know
If youve just bought an iPad, or want to upgrade your old
model, get the full run-down on the new iOS
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
n Apples own words, iOS 8 is the biggest iOS release

ever. After a quick glance at the iOS 8 Home screen,
you might wonder what all the fuss is about, because
there is not a great deal of difference, at least in terms of
the visual interface. Closer investigation soon reveals a
wealth of new features, however, revealing how Apple
has created a system to better integrate its products into
everyday tasks.
New areas of improvement within iOS 8 include the
introduction of HealthKit, which collates a range of
healthcare and fitness apps and allows them to talk to
each other, while HomeKit is the new, connected home

framework, helping to stream your connected devices
and control them in one place. An improved Siri is just
one of the apps that can be used here.
Other improvements have been applied to the
Messages section, which now offers more practical
management options. You now have the choice of
starting a task with one iOS device and completing it
with another, or even with a Mac computer (which is
powered by the latest OS X Yosemite). Communication is
a big deal for iOS 8.

Enhanced cloud storage

iCloud Drive allows you to work on any file from anywhere
iCloud Drive is Apples take on the popular cloud services
that we have all become familiar with but, in this particular
case, it is tightly integrated into the framework of the
operating system. A wide array of data can be saved to your iCloud
Drive including PDFs, documents, presentations, images and more.
No matter what device you did the original saving on, once
the data is saved, you can access that same data from any other
compatible Apple device including your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac,
iPad and even a PC. You will receive 5GB of free data space but you
can pay a small fee for more space.
Send data to iCloud Drive
Access the iCloud Drive
When you are ready to send data

to iCloud Drive, press the Share
icon to reveal the iCloud Drive
icon. You may have to scroll the
screen left or right to see it
You can access the iCloud Drive

and download data from it to your
current app. To access the data,
tap on the iCloud Drive icon. This
will open a window of icons
Save your file
Download your data
Press on the iCloud Drive icon

to save your data file, which will
then be moved to the relevant
folder. In this case, the video is
moved to the iMovie folder
Locate and tap on the folder

of your choice. In this case, the
iMovie folder. This is where the
required data files have been
stored. Tap on the relevant file

No third party

Released in 2007,
iOS really has
come an awfully
long way since.
From 2008, this version offered

full support
for Microsoft
Exchange as well
as the launch of
the Apple Store,
paving the way
for a flood of
third party apps.
Launched in 2009, cut, copy

along with push

store up to
12 apps plus
iBooks and
FaceTime.

Greater convenience
Search for a range of items on your iOS 8 device
Search for more with Spotlight

The built-in search utility, Spotlight,
has been upgraded in iOS 8. This time,
it can display brief summaries from
Wikipedia plus trending news from a number
of locations. Just type in your search criteria and
tap the Search button on the right of the
keyboard and an organised results list will
appear on the screen, with an attached icon, to

the left of the results text indicating the source
of the information. If you tap on the story itself,
then you will be taken to your Safari browser
and the relevant page will be shown to you in
full. Scroll down the Spotlight screen for more
results entries.
Smart typing with QuickType

The new QuickType keyboard
enhances the predictive qualities of
the keyboard while you are typing.
It also becomes smarter over time, as it
becomes more used to your style and choice
of language. To use, launch an app with a
keyboard addition. Begin typing and
suggested words will appear on the

QuickType bar, above the keyboard. If you
cannot see the predictive bar then you can
drag it upwards using the drag bar handle
just above the centre of the keyboard. Tap on
a suggested word from the predictive bar, it
will be automatically inserted into your text.
View contacts quickly

There is a faster method of accessing
your contacts than locating and
tapping on the Contacts app button.
Press the Home button twice in quick
succession. On the screen, you will be able to
see a listing of your most recent contacts for
quick and easy access. This listing will be in the
form of a strip of contacts, situated horizontally

across the top of the screen. You can tap on the
face icon that you have assigned to each
contact and your preferred method(s) of
communication with that contact will be
revealed. Click on that communication method
and you will be taken to the app of choice.

iOS 8
In 2011, voice-over actor Susan

Bennett gave her voice to the
launch of
Siri. We
also saw
iMessage
and iCloud
for the
first time,
as well as
Reminders.
Google Maps was dropped in

2012 in favour of Apples own
Maps app,
Siri got an
upgrade and
Facebook
integration
joined
Twitter from
the previous
years update.
In 2013, Sir Jony Ive changed the

interface of the iOS with a new,
flattened
look
alongside
AirDrop
support
and a
convenient
new Control
Centre.
Support for numerous internetenabled home

appliances, a
Health app
centre plus
some long
overdue
alternatives to
the standard iOS
keyboard were
all introduced.

Improvements to core apps

New apps are joined by upgraded older apps
New functions in Mail

It is easy to ignore the rather more subtle
enhancements present within iOS 8, which are
often buried deeper in the interface. One of
those improvements can be found in Mail, specifically in
the gesture support section of Mails operation. If you swipe
an email to the left, gradually, then a full suite of choices will
be offered as to how to manage that mail. They include the
Trash option plus Flag and a More button that, if tapped,
offers a host of additional selections including Reply,
Forward, Mark As Unread, Move To Junk, Move Message
and Notify Me You can act rather more quickly to erase the
entire piece of text: swipe that mail quickly and the Trash
button becomes dominant, taking over and deleting the
entire entry.
View all open Safari tabs

One of the more useful features of the
standard Safari website browser is the
ability to open a number of tabbed
windows, which allows you to visit a range of
different websites simultaneously, in one
sitting. After several of these tabs have been
opened, however, its easy to lose track of them.
Tap on the multi-window icon in the top-left
corner, and all of the windows will become
available on the same screen at once. You will
then be able to easily tap one to zoom into that
live screen.
Smarter searching in
the App Store
Of course, you can open up the App Store
program and then utilise the built-in search
utility to find the app that you want, but there
is an alternative that might prove to be more effective,
depending on your purposes. Open up the Safari
browser and add the word app to your chosen search
subject and it will not only search the web, but also the
App Store for a related app. Once the results are found
you will see the name of the app plus its attendant icon
tap on the result to be taken to the relevant entry in a
mini-window of the App Store itself, which features a full
range of information about the selected app, including
ratings and reviews.
Shazam integration in Siri

Possibly one of the more obvious
mergings between two apps was the
coming together of Siri and Shazam,
the famous music recognition program. Its
easy to use, just press and hold the Home
button to start the Siri app, begin to audibly
play your chosen music and say What is this
song? to Siri. The app will then listen for a few
moments and, hopefully, name the song and,
quite possibly, also add a mini icon of sleeve art
into the bargain, along with a handy option to
buy it.

Better photo options

Photos is an essential part of iOS. Now it has been improved
Photo search
upgrades
Tap on the Search
icon and a number
of different search
options will be listed.
Tap on the preferred
choice or select one
of your own
There are plenty of improvements to the Photos

and Camera apps. To begin, you can search all of
your photos by a number of criteria such as the
date, location or album name. You can also receive Smart
suggestions. Tap the search icon and youll immediately
receive relevant search criteria such as Home, One Year
Ago and a specific date. When you do take a picture,
you also have the ability to edit it, and to improve it with
tools such as smart composition, to straighten out those
horizons for example, as well as cropping. You can also
adjust the exposure, brightness, contrast and more. Along
the same theme, the app also provides a number of photo
filters to enhance the image, such as tonal, mono, fade
and noir, while the time lapse video option allows you
to take pictures at selected intervals. Ideal to capture the
movement of a city, for example.
Manual selection
Of course, you can
scroll up and down
the iPads screen
to select the photo
image of your choice,
listed under their
individual dates
iOS 8 image-editing tools
1: Adjust the light
2: Adjust the colour
3: Use filtering tools
You can use the slider to arrive at the

correct lighting or use precision tools
such as the exposure and highlights.
Use these tools to highlight a specific

colour or to provide the opposite by
totally draining the image of colour.
Using one of the included filter tools,

you can make your image stand out
by utilising a range of special effects.

iOS 8 FAQs
Q: How do I monitor battery
usage on my iPad?
More communication
options in Messages
Messages focuses on multimedia and deadlines
Tap on Settings then select

General and tap on Usage. A Time
Since Last Full Charge figure will be
revealed along with power percentage
figures for battery hogging apps.
Q: Can I install and use

custom keyboards?
Yes. Download from the App

Store, tap to open it, then go to
Settings>General>Keyboards and
tap on Add New Keyboard. Tap the
keyboard that you wish to activate.
Q: How do I track my iPad if

the battery dies?
Tap Settings, tap on the iCloud

option on the left side of the screen.
Scroll to the base of the screen, tap
on Find my iPad and then swipe Send
Last Location.
Q Record and send an audio file
Q Change the variable delete times
The improvements in the Messages

utility relate partly to time but also to
the addition of multimedia. Hence,
you can now choose to keep your messages
for a total of 30 days or one entire year or, if
thats not long enough, forever. In a similar
vein, audio and video messages can now be
erased in just two minutes should you wish,
or alternatively they can be kept indefinitely.
In addition, when you are in the Messages

app itself, notice the microphone button at
the bottom-right of the window. Tap this
icon to record a voice message. Then press
the icon again and a visual representation of
your sound message will appear on the left.
Press and tap to play it back, swipe to the left
to delete it and swipe upwards to send the
audio to your selected contact.
Access your notifications

more easily Explore new tweaks
Notifications can be viewed via the information panel that swipes down
from the top of the iPads screen. The Notification Centre is
now named Notifications. The layout is different
with the Today View now gone but the
controls are still visible by tapping on Today
and Edit at the base of the screen. Within
the Settings, you will be able to decide on
how you sort your Notifications. The Include
section features apps with Notifications
enabled while the Do Not Include section
has no Notifications enabled. Tapping on
each app, including the new Tips app from
Apple, will enable you to select what type
of Notification you require for that app: a
badge indicator on the icon, or a banner to
be shown at the top of the screen or within
the lock screen.

Enhanced syncing
Now you can use the new iCloud storage to sync your iPad
iCloud can store your photos and videos,
documents, music, calendars, contacts and
more over iOS 8 devices such as your iPad and
a Yosemite-powered Mac, keeping everything up to
date. That is, if you send a document file to the iCloud
Drive then that file will be automatically synced across
all compatible devices for immediate access. To set up
the iCloud Drive go to Settings and locate the iCloud
icon on the pane on the left side of the screen. Tap
to reveal a suite of options in the right pane. Locate
and tap on the iCloud Drive. Swipe the iCloud Drive
switch at the top of the screen and follow the onscreen
instructions. A list of apps will be displayed underneath,
showing you what apps can be synced on the iCloud
app. Swipe the switch next to each app to include or
exclude that app from iCloud.
Family Sharing
Share purchases from iTunes, iBooks and the App Store
Q Setting up the Family Sharing service
Q Inviting families members to the group
Up to six family members can share the

purchases that you make within either the
iTunes Store, the iBooks Store or the App
Store. The same members can also share the family
calendar and family photos, all without having to share
an account. A designated family organiser invites other
family members to the family group and then offers to
pay for any purchases. Any family purchases are then
billed to the designated adults account. The group then
gains immediate access to each others movies, music, TV
shows, books and apps. They can even locate another
members device, should it go missing. If any children,
aged under 13, are seen as part of the group, an adult has
to provide consent in order for them to share content.
To set up Family Sharing, go to Settings, locate and tap
on the iCloud option, then tap on Set Up Family Sharing.
Afterwards, you can invite your family members to join
the group.

Tips Tricks Hacks Apps
Home
The iPad Home screens are not just a set of icons; they can be used to find anything,
manage all of your apps and also show you vital information
Move and delete
Manage all of your Home screen apps
Its easy to manage all of your apps on

the iPad Home screens. To move between
screens, simply slide your finger left and right
or tap any folder to bring up a new selection
of apps. If you can manage to keep all of your
apps and games to a maximum of two screens,
you will be able to navigate a lot easier. The use
of folders to store multiple apps will also help
to keep the amount of gestures you need to
use to a minimum.
The sheer amount of

flexibility is incredible
To delete an app, tap and hold your finger

on the icon and wait for the x to appear
in the top-left corner. Tap it and youll see a
new box to confirm the deletion, at which
point the app will be removed. You can also
delete multiple apps quickly by going to
Settings>General>Usage and then removing
any of the apps that appear in the usage list.
On the whole, the Home screen method of
deleting apps works better on most occasions.
Use Spotlight
The invisible search
On any Home screen, slide your finger downwards over the icons and a search
box will appear. The keyboard will also pop up for you to start typing a search
query. Apps will be shown as soon as you start typing, alongside contacts and any
other entry that matches your search term. Further down the results screen, you
will also see a Search Web option to immediately jump to Safari and see further
results. You can even customise the entries that are shown by going to Settings>
General>Spotlight Search and ticking the items that you wish to appear. You can
then move them around to choose your preferred order. Spotlight Search will
prove to be very useful every single day.
Multitasking
Access your apps qucikly
The iPads multitasking
capabilities have been
enhanced with iOS 8.
Double-tapping the Home
button displays all of your
open apps. Swipe left or
right to select one and tap
to open it, or swipe an app
up to close it. Now you can

also view your most recent
contacts across the top of
the screen and if you tap
on one, quick options to
contact them will appear.
To launch a method of
communication, just tap it.
WorldMags.net
Use the Spotlight Search to

find items and files
WorldMags.net
Speak text
Status bar
Use your voice
All you need to know is there
When the keyboard appears in an app or

when using Spotlight Search, you will see
a small microphone to the left of the space
bar. Tap it and start speaking, at which point
you will see a line appear on the screen
and start to move. When you have finished
what you want to say, tap Done and the
software will then present back all of your
translated words as text. You will need to
add punctuation manually by saying full
stop, comma etc, but you may be surprised
at how accurately it can understand your
speech, and the more you use it over
time, the more accurate it will become.
Remember to keep your paragraphs fairly
short, though, because this will also aid
in the translations accuracy, as well as
giving you the opportunity to make small
corrections along the way.
The status bar at the top of the iPad Home

screen is unobtrusive, but it can offer a
great amount of information. To the left you
will see an icon showing if Wi-Fi is enabled
or not. The dots are accurate, but remember
that they are representations rather than
actual signal levels. The time is shown in the
centre and the battery life to the right. You
can show the battery percentage by going
to Settings>General>Usage and selecting
the option. If you have set an alarm, a small
clock will be shown and there are also icons
to indicate if Bluetooth is turned on and if
Do Not Disturb mode is enabled. All of these
icons will appear in the top-right corner.
Crucially the icons never ever get in the
way of what you need to do on your Home
screen. They provide you with essential, at-aglance information as to the status of your
iPad and whether you need to act to connect
to a network or start charging your device.
The Dock
Your most-used apps
The Dock may not seem like an important part of the

Home screen, but it gives you access to the apps you
use most often and they will always appear no matter
how many screens of apps and games you have set up.
To move an icon to the Dock, tap and hold it and then
drag it to the desired position. The other apps will move
over and the six that you choose to sit in the Dock will
remain persistent throughout your iPad usage. It may take
some time to work out which apps are best suited to the
Dock, but make the right choices you will be rewarded
with instant access every time you need them. The apps
most likely to adorn your Dock are Messages, Mail, Safari,
App Store and Settings, but the choice is entirely yours.
The icons at the top

of the screen provide
essential info
Passcode protect your data

Its quick, effective and very secure
The four-digit Passcode used on an iPad may look
too simple to be secure, but it is actually very
effective. To set it up, go to Settings>Passcode and
then turn it on. You will be prompted to enter a new
Passcode and then asked to enter it again to ensure
you are using the one you want. At this point you
will need to choose when you want it to kick in and
this will very much depend on your usage. The most
secure option is to set it to appear immediately, but
you can choose a longer time if the phone is always
with you. No matter what you choose, the Passcode is
a feature you should use and it only takes a second to
take advantage of it and to keep your iPad secure.

Notifications
The Notifications centre is a really convenient feature designed to give you quick
access to everything that is currently happening and what has just passed
Interactive alerts
Perform actions on the fly
Go to Settings>Notifications and tap on apps such as Messages and Mail to ensure that
Banners are used as the default notification style. Now, whenever you see a notification for
either of those apps pop up at the top of the iPad screen, you will be able to press and hold on the
banner and then pull the lower edge down to reveal a variety of specific actions relevant to the
app in question.
The advantage of this is that you can perform simple actions quickly and easily on the fly without
first having to launch the respective app, or leave the app you are currently in. And as Apple is
providing more freedom for developers to base their apps on the interface of iOS 8, expect to see
more third-party apps utilising this service for the greater good in the months and years ahead.
Exciting times indeed.

upwards or downwards
to determine the order in
which they will appear in
your Notifications centre.
It is usually a good idea to
place more important apps
higher up in the list. When
you are happy with the order
of things, tap on the Done
button to complete the task
and move on.

You may want to hide

your notifications when
the iPad is secured by a
passcode, but they can
still be read by anyone
unless you change a
setting. Go to Settings>
Notifications and then tap
on each individual app
included in the list. On each
apps page you will not
only see the style of alert
you can choose, but also
slide options, one of which
is Show on Lock Screen.
Turn this off to prevent
them showing when your
iPad is locked. In apps such
as Mail, it is also a good
idea to disable the Show
Previews button to prevent
any of the incoming mail
content being visible when
the notification pops up.

Choose alert styles

You can determine and customise
exactly how you are notified by specific
apps. Go to Settings>Notifications and
then tap on one of the apps included
in your Notifications list. Aside from the
settings at the top of the screen, you
will also see an option further down
called Alert Style When Unlocked,
along with an image depicting three
iPads. These illustrations represent the
How apps notify you

three notification options available: no
alerts, banners or alerts (that flash up on
screen). Select the style of the notification
for the specific app by tapping one of
the three options and a lozenge shape
will highlight the option that you have
selected. You can also scroll down
through the options further to see an
option for Repeat Alerts, which can also
be useful in certain situations.
View by time
Get a weather forecast
Edit notification order
See reports in your Notifications
It is likely that you will want to see your notifications

in order so that you can understand what needs to
be dealt with the most urgently. There is a simple
setting available to enable you to do just this. Simply
go to Settings>Notification Centre and at the top
of the screen you will see the Notifications View
options. Now tap Sort By Time and you are done. All
of your notifications will appear in time order and
you can then judge how to deal with them when
they come in.
Of course you can also sort them manually if you
prefer, but it is worth experimenting with both
options and seeing which works best for your
specific usage. It could be that on work days you
prefer one option over another.
Also included in the Notifications screen is

a handy, at-a-glance weather report to let
you know what the conditions are like at
your current location. This is especially useful
because, by default, your iPad doesnt have its
own standalone Weather app like the iPhone.
To enable these weather reports, go to
Settings>Privacy and then tap on the Location
Services option. Listed in the list of apps that
use the service will be Weather. Tap on this
and ensure that it is always granted access
to use your location (otherwise it would be
somewhat redundant). Now, when you swipe
down from the top of the screen to access your
Notifications, the weather will be represented
by an icon and a short text summary on the
Today tab just below the current day and date.
A note at the bottom of the screen also states
that the weather reports are generated by The
Weather Channel LLC.
You can determine

Keep your Reminders close by
The Notifications centre can present all of your
recent alerts, but it can also act as a handy extra
screen for your Reminders. If you have Reminders set
to alert on a particular day, they will be displayed in the
Notifications screen and the result is immediate access
to everything that needs to be done. Swipe down
from the top of the screen to access your Notifications
and then tap on the Today tab. Pending Reminders
will also be listed here. If you wish to remove any from
the list, tap the Edit button at the bottom of the list
and then tap the red circle next to an item to remove
it. Other options that can be shown/hidden include
Traffic Conditions, Calendar and Tomorrow Summary.

Control Centre
The Control Centre is the perfect solution to accessing popular features
and for making your iPad quicker to use every day
Control your media

Access playback controls
One of the many ways in which Control Centre
can make your life easier is by allowing you to
control your media playback, whichever app
you are using. Within the Control Centre you will
find options to Play/Pause and skip music tracks
or, if you are in the middle of watching, control
your videos in much the same way. Also included
are options to turn on your iPads AirDrop facility
and connect with other devices to share items, as
well as an AirPlay button so that you can select a
different AirPlay device, which is useful for beaming
a YouTube video to a different device, for example.
So although the options available in Control
Centre arent quite as numerous as those present
in the iPhones (which also boasts a Calculator and
Torch), they still provide a quick and easy service
for accessing and performing certain key tasks on
the fly.
See global times

Check times in other countries
Some functionality that you may
call upon often will require a
couple of extra steps to use from
the Control Centre. For example, if
you need to quickly view times in
other countries, you will need to tap
the timer icon in the Control Centre
and then tap the World Clock tab at
the bottom of the Clock app. It only
takes a couple of extra seconds and
thus you would be wise to consider
the timer icon as a shortcut to the
Clock for most uses. If a country you
need to view is not listed, simply
tap the + icon at the top and add
it. It will now appear in your list of
selected countries whenever you
follow the process outlined above.
Take quick photos

Capture perfect moments
Media can be streamed to different devices via

AirPlay, accessed directly from Control Centre
Control Centre can

remove the need for a
Home screen app
Accessing the camera in an instant

is important when a magic moment
happens in front of you. When you
enable the Control Centre, you will
see a camera icon in the bottom-right
corner, which will immediately launch
the Camera app when tapped. All that
is left to do is take the photo and you
are done. This is one example where
the Control Centre can remove the
need for an app icon on your Home
screen altogether.
You can, of course, also access your
Camera app from your Lock screen by
flicking the icon upwards, but if you
are in the middle of using your iPad
for something then accessing your
Control Centre is the perfect way to
launch it.
WorldMags.net
Tap on the Camera icon to

launch it from Control Centre
WorldMags.net
Mission Control
Access the Control Centre
The Control Centre is purposefully

designed to not allow access to
sensitive information if it is accessed
from the Lock screen. This means that
you can enable it to work this way and
not be concerned if someone picks up
your device and tries to activate it. Go
to Settings>Control Centre and tap the
icon at the top to allow access to it when

the phone is locked. Now whenever you
need to use the shortcut apps or switch
a hardware function, you can do so in an
instant. You will also see an Access Within
Apps function which can be enabled to
give you immediate access while using
another app.
Set alarms
Create new alarms
Few of us will require the exact same alarms to wake us up
every single day, and it is likely that we will want to amend
them as circumstances change. From the Control Centre,
you can tap the timer icon and then the Alarm tab at the
bottom in the Clock app to see a list of all current alarms. You
can then use the Edit option at the top to change specific
alarms or to create new ones. It is an annoying process to
follow every single day, but with the Control Centre, a little
time is shaved off, and it is of course worth doing if it gives
you a bit more sleep than you would otherwise have had!
You really can remove the Clock icon from your Home screen
and still enjoy all of its functions: yet another example of why
the Control Centre was such a welcome addition to iOS.
Time an event
Quick icon switches
Access important features fast
When you swipe up from the bottom of the
screen when in the Home screen, or indeed
while using any app, you will see a row of
icons at the top of the Control Centre. Each
of these icons works in an on/off fashion;
tap once to enable and tap again to disable
a feature. From left to right you can turn on
Airplane mode and turn it off again, Wi-Fi can
be enabled and disabled in two quick taps and
the same goes for Bluetooth. Next up is Do Not
Disturb mode, which will automatically appear if
you have set a particular schedule, but you can
override the time settings with this icon.
Finally, the screen orientation lock works
well for watching videos in landscape mode
and can be turned on again when you want to
read a book in bed or for any activity where the
locking the orientation is useful. Once you are
aware of and start using these icons, you will
undoubtedly use them on a daily basis.
Access the timer

When you need to time an
event, it is likely that you will
need to do so quickly. Pull
up the Control Centre and tap
the second-right icon in the
bottom row. You will immediately
be taken to the Timer part of
the Clock app where you can
now choose the length of time
required by moving your finger
up and down the screen in the
hour and minute sections. Tap Start
and the timing will begin, at which
point you can do something else
and it will audibly alert when the
end of the period has been reached.
If you create timers often, there is
no quicker way to do so than via
the Control Centre. It offers almost
immediate access no matter where
you currently are on your iPad and is
useful for so many things in life.

You can customise many parts of iOS to your specific needs and all thats needed is a
little knowledge. You may be surprised at how beneficial it is
Closed captions
Enable subtitles quickly
There are two ways to enable closed

captions on an iPad; one is to do so for all
movies that support it and the other is to
use them on an individual basis, whenever
you might feel the need. If you take a trip
over to Settings>General>Accessibility and
scroll down to the Media section you will see
an option called Subtitles & Captioning. Select
this and then tap the icon at the top to switch
it to green. You can now spend some time
Use real smiley faces

iOS has them built in
choosing the exact style that you prefer for

your captions.
When in the Videos app, you can also tap the
closed caption icon, which looks like a speech
bubble and sits at the bottom of the screen.
This will offer the ability to turn the feature on
and off as you wish. In most cases, it is likely
that you will either need this all of the time or
not at all, but at least the choices are included
for your convenience.
Enable lots of emojis

Add emotion to your conversations
We all understand what the characters of a smiley face mean and are used to
text-based emotion in messages and emails, but did you know that you can
use real smiley faces in iOS because it is already built in? Go to Settings>General
and find the Keyboard options. Tap Add New Keyboard and search for Emoji
and tap it. You now have access to all of the supplied emojis and can use them
whenever the mood strikes.
A new globe icon will be shown to the left of the space bar on the keyboard
and if you tap it, a selection of emojis will be available to select with a series of
tabs at the bottom showing many other characters. Pick what you like and then
tap the globe icon again to return.
Sign in once
Update multiple networks
You will likely want to
share photos or text
through social networks
like Twitter and Facebook.
You can use the official
apps, but there is a quicker
route. Go to Settings and
scroll down until you see
Twitter and Facebook.

Sign in to each and the
system will remember your
credentials forever. Now
when you are in Photos
or Safari, you can share via
either network by simply
tapping the Share icon.

Set up voice alerts
General keyboard tips
Hear all of your incoming alerts
Learn to type more efficiently
You can set up your iPad to tell you

whenever you receive a new alert,
whether it be an email, a message or a
calendar event. All you need to do is go to
Settings>General> Accessibility and select the
VoiceOver option. Scroll down to the Always
Speak Notifications option and switch the
icon until it turns green and it will be set up
until such time as you reverse the procedure.
Remember that voice alerts can reduce
battery life significantly if you receive a lot of
them and that they can also be inconvenient
for those who are near to you when they
come in. Use them wisely.
The iPad keyboard looks simple and that

is deliberate as it makes it easy to quickly
understand where every letter and number
is. However, there are many useful features
hidden away. In Settings>General>Keyboard
you can use the Add New Shortcut option
at the bottom to input three- or four-letter
shortcuts that will automatically add email
addresses and longer phrases. If you want to
use accented characters or currencies that are
not shown, tap and hold the , for example,
and you will see a row of alternatives appear.
You can also avoid the keys completely
by tapping the microphone icon and
speaking into your iPad, but there is one tip
to remember above all others. Do not take
your time when typing on the iPad keyboard;
if you type as quickly as you can, the autocorrection will understand what you mean
and make immediate changes.
You will receive no alerts at all

during the chosen time frame
Manage screen brightness
Keep your screen visible at all times
In Settings>Display & Brightness you are presented
with a bar at the top and an Auto-Brightness option
just below it. Tapping the Auto-Brightness icon on will
cause the iPad to monitor outside conditions and change
the brightness accordingly. It sounds unnecessary, but it
has been proven that when enabled, battery performance
can increase dramatically. In low light, it will reduce the
brightness and in bright conditions, it will push it all the
way up so that the screen remains visible. The manual
setting can be used in the Control Centre if required, but
the automatic setting is almost always correct.
The iPad keyboard

is a lot more than

Do Not Disturb
Avoid troublesome alerts
The Do Not Disturb function is extremely useful and
you have the option of setting up a schedule so that
you are never alerted at the wrong time again. Go
to Settings>Do Not Disturb and tap the Scheduled
option. You can now add a start and finish time and
you will receive no alerts at all during the chosen time
frame. However, if you wish for some people to get
through, you can select Favourites in the next option
or allow repeated calls that occur within three minutes
of each other. You can manually enable it via the
Control Centre as well in only one tap. A subtle feature
thats very useful.

Messages
The days of simple text conversations are long gone. With an iPad you can keep all of
your conversations organised and emotive every single day
Wipe conversations
Delete with a swipe
All of your messages are automatically organised into conversations, and when you tap any
item in the list on the left side of the screen you will see the entire chat with the selected
contact. If you want to delete a single comment you can do so by tapping and holding any entry
and then taping the trash can that appears at the bottom of the screen, but remember that this will
obviously disrupt the flow of what has been said. You can, however, go further and delete entire
conversations from the main list by swiping an item from right to left and tapping the red Delete
option. Be careful when doing this because no archive of your conversations is held on the iPad
itself and if you want to retrieve your deleted messages later, the steps are quite time consuming
and involved. So the best policy is to always proceed with caution when deleting either individual
messages or message threads.
Block

How to stop
unwanted texts
Read receipts are a handy feature to activate in Messages
Read receipts
Guarantee receipt of any message
We tend to presume
that read receipts are
used only in email and
while they are more
commonplace for that form
of communication, you do
also have the ability to use
them in iPad messages.
To set up your iPad to send
read receipts when you have
read a new message, go to
Settings>Messages and look
for the Send Read Receipts

option near the top of the
list. If you tap the option
and switch it to green, your
contacts will now be sent
a read receipt whenever
you read a message that
has been sent. This is a
particularly useful feature for
when you need to know that
your important messages
have been received.
WorldMags.net
The rise of spam texts

has followed the rise in
spam emails, but for some
reason an unwanted
text message feels more
intrusive and is something
that you will likely want to
stop as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, Apple has
included a remarkably
simple feature that will let
you block any number with
a couple of taps as soon as
you receive the first text.
Open the message and
then tap the Details option
in the top-right. Now tap
the i icon that appears and
you will see the contact
details listed as normal.
Scroll down to the bottom
of the screen and tap the
Block this Caller option. A
new window appears with
Block Contact shown in
red. You just have to tap it
to block the sender.
WorldMags.net
Forward a message
Forwarding text messages on to
another contact is a straightforward
process, but it is initially far from
obvious how to go about it within
the Messaging interface. You first
need to tap and hold the message you
want to forward within a conversation
and then tap the More option that
appears. Now tap the arrow icon in the
Quickly forward messages

bottom-right corner and you will see a
new message screen appear, at which
point you can enter the details for a
new contact, or contacts, to forward
the message on to. Forwarding is a
little bit hidden away in Messages, but
it only takes a few seconds to do and is
incredibly easy and convenient when you
know how.
Change address
Disable the preview
Switching your ID
Keep all of your messages

private and secure
You can only send iMessages from your mobile

phone number or your Apple ID, but you can
choose exactly which to use when starting new
conversations. Go to Settings>Messages and scroll
down to the Send & Receive option. Any phone
numbers or email addresses that are using the main
Apple ID will be listed, which is extremely useful if
you share your ID throughout the family. Scroll down
again and you will see a Start new conversations
from option. Your Apple ID and main phone
number will be listed here with one of them ticked.
To swap to the email address or phone number,
just tick the one you want to use and it will stay like
this. Texts will still use the phone number.
Ensure iCloud
backup is enabled
before retrieving messages
When you receive iMessages or text

messages they will usually be presented on
the Lock screen with the first couple of lines
shown. This is useful for quickly seeing what
has been sent to you, but has the downside
that anyone could read your texts, even if
the iPad is secured with a passcode. There is,
however, a way to stop this happening, but the
settings may not be where you expect them
to be. Go to Settings>Notifications and you
will see a list of items that can be seen on the
Lock screen. Scroll down the page until you
see Messages listed and tap the option. You
can now choose whether to show a count of
unread messages on the Messaging icon and if
these messages will be included in Notification
Centre, but if you scroll down further you can
disable the Show Preview option to hide the
text content.
Turn off
previews to

private
Restore deleted text

messages with iCloud
Texts messages are rarely lost forever
When you delete messages they are, in theory,
lost but iCloud backup ensures that you are able
to recover them if you need to. You will need
to ensure iCloud backup is enabled before you
attempt to retrieve any deleted messages, but this
is good practice anyway because the service is free
and reliable. Be aware that you cannot just restore
messages; you need to wipe your iPad and restore it in
its entirety using iCloud. However, if the messages are
important and have been backed up, then at least you
will get them back.

FaceTime
FaceTime will change and greatly improve the way you communicate with others
forever, and includes many options to make the experience personal to you
Import contacts
Every contact you need
FaceTime contacts are no different to normal contacts and when you set up synchronisation
with an online service, they will be made available seamlessly within the app. To do this, go to
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap on Add Account to begin importing contacts. Work
through the simple instructions to add any account, which includes your contacts, and they will
then be made available both in the main Contacts app and the FaceTime app for video calling
straight away.
The contact entry will need at the very least an email address or mobile number to be
recognised as capable of using FaceTime and also make sure to remember that the other party will
need an iPad, Mac or iPad to use FaceTime themselves. Not all contacts will be able to use FaceTime
by default, so check before calling.

Add some privacy

FaceTime Audio offers a number of advantages
FaceTime Audio
Improve voice-call quality
FaceTime Audio is not a
well-known feature of
the app, but it can help to
increase sound quality by
a huge degree. Go to any
contact listing and tap the
i icon. You will now see
options for standard calls
at the top with a FaceTime
section listed just below.
The phone icon here can be
used to initiate a FaceTime
Audio call. Tap it and the
familiar phone screen will

appear, rather than the
normal FaceTime video
interface. This facility is useful
for saving network minutes
and for adding a better
atmosphere and greater
clarity to each conversation.
Dont forget, however, that
the other party must also
have FaceTime and a valid
internet or data connection
for the call to take place.
WorldMags.net
If you need to say

something in private, but
still want to continue a
FaceTime call, there is a
facility to do so. Next to
the red call-end icon you
will see a speaker icon.
Tap it and the call will be
muted. You will also see
a Mute notification. To
disable the mute state,
simply tap the speaker
again and you can
continue the conversation.

Check data
Keep track of data use
In the FaceTime app, tap the Video

or Audio tab on the screen and then
select any of your previous calls by
tapping the i next to them. You will
be shown the complete contact details
of the person you spoke to, along with a
history of calls you have had with them
in time and date order. Next to each
entry will be the call length, as well as the
approximate data usage for that call. This
information will help you work out how

much data you are using in FaceTime and
if you take some time to look through
a selection of calls, you will be able to
gauge roughly how much data you use
ahead of time. You might find that it is
advantageous, and indeed more cost
effective, to up your data allowance in
place of standard voice minutes if you are
a regular FaceTime user.
Show your location
FaceTime on a TV
Spin the camera around
See your calls on the big screen
There are two cameras on an iPad; one on the back

and one on the front. The back one is normally
used for taking photos and videos and the front for
FaceTime calls, but you can use both when holding a
FaceTime call.
During the call, you will notice a camera icon next
to the red end-call button and when you tap it, the
view will change to show the other party what is
in front of you. This is a great way to show your
surroundings without interrupting the call, and the
quality remains very good throughout. To swap
back to the front camera, simply tap the camera
icon again.
It sounds like science fiction, but you can now

watch a FaceTime call on a TV screen using
just your iPad, as long as you prepare the
settings first to ensure it works smoothly. The
good news is that the process is pretty simple.
Pull up the Control Centre from the bottom
of the screen and tap the AirPlay option. Now
tap Apple TV and then select Mirroring. Initiate
a call as normal and you should see everything
on your iPad screen mirrored on the TV, though
slight lag is possible between sound and vision.
There is one obvious caveat in all of this in
that an Apple TV is required for this simple
setup. Despite claims that it is possible to use
FaceTime on other equipment, the actual
process to do so is often quite complex. But if
you have family or friends that are in faraway
places, this is a fantastic way for people to
gather around and share what is happening in
their lives more effectively.

Block calls
Block any number
The blocking facility on an iPad doesnt just apply
to FaceTime, but it is included within the app.
When you receive an unwanted FaceTime call, tap the
Recents tab after declining and choose the contact in
question. Now simply scroll down to the bottom of
the screen and tap Block this Caller.
The blocking facility covers all forms of
communication and is really easy to use. The
presumption is that if you block a person from calling,
you will want to block them from contacting you via
any available method, so once you have blocked a
contact, they will no longer be able to FaceTime you,
or send iMessages, text messages or call you either.

Contacts
Thanks to the Contacts app, it is easy to keep a detailed and complete
database of all of your professional and personal contacts on your iPad
Merge duplicates
Merge and link contacts
Over time, it is likely that you will end up

with a series of duplicate contacts that not
only make your contact list bigger, but
which cause confusion and mean you have
to tap multiple entries to find the relevant
information that you actually need. There
is, however, an easy solution built right into
the Contacts app that will let you merge two
separate contacts together using just one
simple step.
The synchronisation is
completely invisible
Scroll through your Contacts list and find

two contacts that share the same name. Select
one of them and then tap the Edit option
at the top of the screen. Scroll down to the
bottom to locate the link contacts option
and then tap it. You will now be asked to
select another contact to merge your current
selection with, and once you have, tap Link at
the top. The two contacts will now be merged
into one entry.
Sync Facebook contacts

Add Facebook friends to your Contacts app
Synchronising Facebook contacts sounds like a difficult process, but it is
actually very easy to do no matter how many Facebook friends you have. Go to
Settings and scroll down until you find the Facebook entry. Tap it and then make
sure that the Contacts field is switched to green. All of your Facebook contacts
will now be synchronised to your main contacts database and will be available
for reference whenever you need them. The synchronisation process happens in
the background and will be completely invisible while you continue to use your
phone, as your Contacts are steadily updated over time. You can also update
contacts with Twitter IDs.
First name sorting

Keep contacts in order
We all have different
needs when it comes
to contact sorting and
you may be someone
who prefers to see your
contacts sorted by their
first names. The way to
do this is simple, but it
is slightly hidden. Go to
Settings>Mail, Contacts,
Calendars, then Scroll

down and you will find the
Contacts section, which
includes the all-important
Sort Order option at the
top. Tap this and then
choose First, Last or Last,
First and your contacts will
be displayed as you wish. It
is a one-time process.

Add contact info
Access recent contacts
More than names or numbers
Reach people quickly
If you take the time to add as much

information as possible about each of your
contacts, you will be rewarded with a list of
names and numbers that is useful on many
different levels. Within each contact listing,
you will be presented with a myriad of fields
when you tap the Edit option. For example,
you can add birth dates, multiple addresses,
notes and even create custom fields to truly
personalise the listing. The more information
that you add, the more focused you can be
on the individual in question. Entering the
extra detail is useful both in business and for
your friends. It helps make Contacts personal.
One of the cool new features of iOS 8 is that

you can access your most recent contacts
from the multitasking screen and reach
them quickly and easily without first having
to launch a specific app. To access this
feature, simply double-tap the Home button
to initiate multitasking mode and then all of
your most recent contacts will be listed across
the top of the screen.
If you then tap on a particular contact,
methods for contacting them will appear next
to their icon, including FaceTime and Message
options. Tap an option to select it and you
will be able to make contact without having
to waste time and energy navigating to the
specific app to carry out the task. This is a
neat and efficient way of allowing you to stay
in touch while reducing the time it takes to
launch the preferred app and then finding the
contact within it. Just another way that iOS 8
is making our lives easier.
You will be presented with a

myriad of fields after you tap Edit
Sync with iCloud
Access your recent

contacts easily
Stay secure
Synchronising your contacts with iCloud offers many
benefits. It is very secure, it is embedded into the Apple
ecosystem and it conveniently runs in the background.
The setup process is also simple and once done, you can
sit back and enjoy your new secure contacts database.
Go to Settings>iCloud and make sure that the Contacts
option is enabled by switching the icon to green. If you
already have contacts on your device from other services
or some in iCloud from a Mac, you will be asked if you
want to Merge the entries. Tap this and the process will
begin to synchronise all of your data with iCloud.
Filter contact groups

Select groups of contacts
Contact groups are important if you want to keep
business and pleasure separate. However, they offer
another advantage in that they enable you to peruse
shorter lists when you are in a hurry.
At the top of the Contacts listing, tap Groups and
then untick those that you do not want to see. Tap on
the Done entry and you will be taken back to the main
listing, where any groups you unticked will be hidden.
It is good practice to put as many of your contacts
as possible into groups because it will help you to
keep them organised, plus you will become more
familiar with each entry. Handily, the Groups feature is
not even visible until you decide to filter contacts out.

The iPad email app rivals some desktop solutions in terms of efficiency and features.
It is also very easy to use and works with many email services
Archive emails
Efficient mail archiving
If you want to remove an email quickly in the Mail app, you can swipe your finger to the left
within any entry and then tap the blue Archive option so that it is no longer shown in your
main inbox. This does not, however, completely delete the email from your account. If you wish to
do this then select More and then within the email a new panel will appear. Tap Move Message
and then find and tap on the Trash folder. The message will be deleted forever when the Trash
folder is emptied.
If you have a generous amount of space on your device, the archiving option is much quicker
and does a similar job to permanent deletion, apart from freeing up space. Even if you do have lots
of space, however, it is usually a good idea to ensure regular deletion of unwanted messages to
keep your emails from getting out of hand.
Insert

Mail different files
Effortlessly handle zip file attachments
Zip attachments
Open and manage zip files
The Mail app features direct
support for zip files and you
can conveniently deal with
these type of attachments
without having to install
any third-party apps to
your device. When you
receive a zip file attachment
in an email, tap it in the main
email screen and wait for the
file to download. When it is
done, you can tap it again
and the first file in the zip will
be displayed for you. At the

top of the screen you will
see the total number of files
that are available to view,
for example 1 of 7, which
shows that you are viewing
the first file of seven. The
system is built to let you read
or view whatever it is that
you need to, regardless of
format, and so the Mail app
never gets in the way of your
personal communication.
WorldMags.net
You can send media

through the Mail app
using Photos and many
other third-party apps
that support the facility,
but it is often much
quicker to add everything
you need to directly from
within Mail itself. In the
main text field, tap and
hold anywhere and you will
see a pop-up bar appear.
Now tap Insert Photo or
Video to be taken to the
Photos app. The next stage
is to choose a photo or
video to include and once
chosen, to select it. At this
point it will appear and be
shown exactly as it will look
when sent.
You may be asked what
size file you want to send,
which is useful when using
mobile networks, but try
the largest where possible
to improve the quality.
Finally, just click send.

Format any email text

To change the formatting of text within
an email, tap and hold any word and
then tap the right-hand arrow icon.
Now tap the BIU icon and you will be
presented with three options: Bold, Italics
and Underline. Choose any one of the
options and tap again on another to, for
example, make a word bold and italic.
Alter the look of text

Theres no denying that this is a very
simple text-formatting mechanism,
but its also easy to use once you are
familiar with the system and it is fast and
extremely effective. Also remember that
whatever it is that you see in the main
body of an email is exactly what the
recipient will receive.
Composing drafts
Save emails for later
The compose button is always in the top right-hand
corner when viewing your email list or the account list.
Tap it and you will immediately see a new window appear
in which you can start composing an email. If you tap the
Cancel option in the top-left, you will then be given the
opportunity to save it as a draft. If you now navigate back
to the main folder list for your email account, you will see a
Drafts section which will hold any emails that you have not
yet completed.
Try to keep the number of drafts you create to a minimum
to avoid forgetting about important ones. If the list is long,
you probably need to find some time to organise them and
to delete any emails that you do not need.
Jump back quickly

Batch delete or
move emails
Manage multiple emails at once
There will probably be times when you need
to take actions on multiple emails at a time
and using the on-screen gestures will just
slow you down. When viewing a list of emails,
tap the Edit key at the top-right and you will
see a series of circles appear to the left of each
email. Tap any emails you want and the number
selected will promptly change at the top.
At the bottom of the screen you will see
three options: Mark, Move and Archive. If you
choose Move, the folder list will appear for you
to choose where to move the selected emails.
The Archive option will immediately remove all
selected emails and the Mark option will let you
note them as unread, junk or flagged.
If you have a busy email account, this simple
feature will help you to tame the chaos, but
remember not to tap too quickly to avoid errors.
Easily return to start

No matter where you are in
Mail, you can quickly jump
back to where you started
from at any stage. There are
two methods to remember
and each serves the same
purpose. When viewing an
email you will see an option in
the top-left corner which has an
arrow to the left of it; simply tap
this and you will be returned to
your email list. Its a familiar method,
but it is actually quite unnatural in
comparison to the alternative.
You can also swipe from left to
right and the same result will occur.
It is not necessarily quicker, but it feels
right and is a gesture used in many
iOS apps. Now you can just repeat the
method you prefer until you reach the
account list, which is the starting point
for all your email communication.

Safari
The mobile version of Safari is not cut down at all and offers many features that let
you browse just as you would on a desktop
Define any word
Understand unknown words
You can discover the meaning of any word you come across in a web page by simply tapping
and holding it. You will see a pop-up box appear with two options; Copy and Define. Tap on
Define and a new page will appear with a full dictionary definition, along with as much additional
information as possible.
There are also two more options which are available to help you gain more detail on your
chosen selection. Search Web lets you find more relevant links about the word in question and
Manage will show a list of additional dictionaries that can be downloaded for many different
languages. The entire process, from simply defining a word to arming your iPad with even more
sources of useful information, can be done in just seconds and will no doubt prove to be useful
time and time again.
Rearrange
tabs
Keep pages in order
The tabs feature in Safari
is very handy when
dealing with multiple
pages. Tap the icon in
the top-right corner of
the screen to see all open
pages and then tap an x
on any page to close it.
You can also move pages
around the list by pressing,
holding and dragging on
an open page. This is useful
for researching the web
and many other projects.
Turn a website into an app icon in a matter of seconds
Create web clips

Instant access to web pages
Web clips turn any website
into an app, complete with
its very own icon on the
Home screen which you
can just tap on to access
the site. To create a web
clip, tap the sharing icon in
the top-right corner of the
screen and choose the Add
to Home Screen option. You
will now be asked to confirm
or amend the name of the
clip. Try to make it short and

descriptive because longer
titles will end up truncated
on the Home screen and will
make no sense as a result.
Tap Add and the process is
complete. A new app-style
icon will be shown on the
home screen and you can
simply repeat this process
to create folders of easily
accessible bookmarks.

Never miss a read
Quick web addresses
Save long web articles for later
Speed up your searching
Sometimes you will find articles in Safari

that are too long for you to read right
at the moment you discover them. To
get around this problem you can tap the
sharing icon at the top-right of the screen
and select Add to Reading List. The link
will be saved, along with a summary and
thumbnail image, in a list which is accessible
by tapping the Bookmarks icon and then
the spectacles tab at the top. The Reading
List is home to all of the pages and articles
you have saved and want to read later, and it
can even be synchronised with the desktop
Safari browser on a Mac. You can now read
everything you want to when you find
yourself with the time, but try to limit the
feature to only long articles that will benefit
from the time you have to spend on them
if you can.
Typing long web addresses on any mobile

device is not easy, especially if you have
large fingers that dont play nicely with
small buttons, but there are some features
which make the process much quicker on
an iPad. The iPad knows that you are typing
a web address when you tap within the top
box in Safari and the first tip is to long-press
the . key at the end of the address. This will
cause a row of web domain types to appear
and all you need to do is slide your finger to
the one you want to add it immediately. Its
very quick and only saves a small amount of
time, but it adds up if you use it repeatedly.
Also, keep an eye on the results that appear
as you type in the top box. You will probably
find that you can tap to select the correct
entry as it appears. Your chosen search engine
works alongside Safari to make entering
search terms and web addresses very efficient,
even if you do find using small buttons fiddly.
Stay secure
Browse privately
Occasionally you want to browse web pages in private

and the good news is that this facility is available in
Safari. The bad news is that it is somewhat hidden, so you
need to make a few finger-taps to get things started.
Tap the tabs icon in the top-right corner and then tap
the Private option. A window will pop up asking if you
want to close all of the tabs; do this and you can now go
ahead and browse privately. If you want to change it back
simply return to the tabs view and tap Private again.
Safari is very secure and has many safeguards to protect
you and your identity, but this option may appeal if you
are accessing internet banking or if you want to share your
iPad with others without sharing your browsing history.
Speed up the act

of entering web
addresses
Change font sizes

Control text
There is no facility to increase or decrease text
size for just Safari, but you can make web pages
more readable. Unfortunately the Larger Text option
in Settings>General>Accessibility will not have any
impact on Safari, but you can make text larger by
pinching out with your finger and thumb. It can be
fiddly to use, but it gives you full control over sizing.
Another option when reading articles online is to
tap the Reader icon (the line icon) to the left of the
unified Search/URL bar to get a clearer, uncluttered
view of the page and then tap on the A icons in the
top-left corner to bump the size of the text up or
down depending on preference.

Calendar
Keep yourself organised using the Calendar app, by quickly adding events, receiving
notifications and moving appointments around with utmost ease
Swipe around
Using many swipe gestures
Open up the Calendar app and you will see a handy glimpse of your schedule ahead. You can
swipe to the left or right to show the previous or next day or you can swipe up and down to see
earlier or later during any particular day. When you double tap an event to view it, you can simply
swipe left to go back to the main calendar view.
Swiping is also useful when you are not actually in the Calendar app. You can swipe down from
the top of the screen at any time to call up the Notifications panel on your iPad and then look
for the Calendar section (make sure it is enabled by going to Settings>Notifications and turning
the button next to Calendar Day View to green). This will show all of the days events in a single,
convenient list and let you view your schedule at-a-glance, no matter what app you are currently
using on your iPad.

in the top-right corner of
the screen. A Details box will
then flash up into which you
can add times, a location,

iOS 8 update, when creating
new events you can now

check on the availability
of the people you wish to

There are various view options available

to use in the Calendar app; you are
able to see an overview of the year, a
particular month, a specific week or a
certain day. You can move from a day
view to a week view to a month view
to a year view via the tabs at the top of
the app interface. If you are viewing the
calendar by the Year view then you can
jump to Month view simply by tapping
on the month in question. You can then

tap on a day in Month view to jump
straight to Day view. Week view displays
calendar with days of the week across the
top of the window and hourly segments
within the main window. You can also
jump to the current day at any time by
tapping on the Today option, which can
be found down in the lower-left corner of
the screen.
Tweak start date
Move an appointment
Change the day a calendar starts on
Drag and drop to reschedule
With flexible working, not everybodys week starts

on a Monday, and if you want to change the day
that the iPad calendar starts on, you must go to
the Settings app. Select Mail, Calendars, Contacts,
then scroll down for Calendar and tap Start Week
On. By default, the week will start on a Monday but
you can alter it to any other day. Simply tap the day
you want to use from now on and then the back
button in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
The calendar will make the necessary adjustment.
You can change your mind and alter the start
date at any time.
So you need to move an appointment

because it clashes with something else or
has simply got to be shifted. No problem;
with Calendar on your iPad, you do not need to
delete an event and re-enter it. All you need to
do is find the event in the Today view and tap
and hold it. You can now drag the appointment
around the screen until you find the revised
time slot where you can then let go. The event
will be magically placed in the new slot.
This can be repeated over and over again
and with any kind of appointment you have
entered into the Calendar app. You are not
even confined to changing an appointment
within a particular day. If you need to move an
appointment from one day to the next or even
further ahead, then simply tap and hold and
move the event to the right, where it will show
on another day. Keep moving until you find a
suitable day and let go in the required time slot.
By default, the

Create an event or show in Calendar
If you receive a text or email with a specific time and
date, you can instantly create an event using the
information. The text will be underlined in blue so tap
it and select Create Event from the menu that appears.
You will be taken to your Calendar app where you can
add a title, include a location and fill in more details
before tapping Done. Whats more, by tapping Show
in Calendar, you can ensure the event is not going to
clash with anything that you may have scheduled for
that day and time.
This process has been much-improved since it first
appeared and it means that you do not have to jump
out of your Message or Mail app to find Calendar.

Reminders
Its so easy to forget stuff when you have a thousand and one other things on your
mind, so make better use of Apples brilliant built-in Reminders app
Make a new list
Organise your reminders
When using the Reminders app it is easy and useful to organise your to-do lists into different
categories in order to avoid having one long splurge of reminders. You will find the option to
Add List in the lower-left corner of the Reminders app interface and tapping it will allow you to
give your new list a name, as well as to colour code it so that you can tell, at-a-glance which list you
are referring to.
Once you have set your new list up, tap the Done button and your new list will be added to the
categories to the left. You can now go about adding items to this list simply by tapping on a line
of the page and noting down the task using the keyboard. Tap on the small i icon next to the task
to add further information, such as setting the priority, adding any additional notes and setting a
reminder for the task.
Mark tasks
as done
Tick off reminders
Tick the option you want to use
Repeat reminders
Set a regular event reminder
Some tasks need to be
repeated frequently on a
regular timescale. Perhaps
you make a phone call on
a certain day each week or
grab something from the
shop at the same time every
Friday, for example. To repeat
reminders for the same task,
slide the Remind me on a
day button to green, set a
time and date and then tap
Repeat. Recurring reminders

can be set for every day,
every week, every two
weeks, every month or every
year and they can make life
considerably easier as you
dont have to write out the
same task each and every
time. If there comes a time
when you no longer need to
repeat a task, simply turn the
option off.
WorldMags.net
It makes sense that

you cannot only set a
reminder for various
tasks but also very easily
mark them once they are
complete. Reminders has
a simple way of checking
off tasks without putting
you through the hassle of
deleting them. Open a list
in the Reminders app then
tap the check box to the
left of each of the events
that you have completed.
The item will be marked as
complete and disappear
from the list. Only the tasks
you have asked to repeat
will remain. With those,
the date on the item will
change to the next date in
the repeat sequence. For
example if you have set a
task to repeat weekly and
you the 1 September entry
as complete, the date will
change to 7 September
and remain in the list.

Clock
Even though your iPad has so much power at its disposal, being able to use it to tell
the time is one of its handiest features. But it can do much more besides
Global clocks
Set the time for different cities
Although you will use the clock for the time zone of the country you are in the majority of
the time, setting up world clocks is incredibly useful if you regularly keep in contact with
people in other countries across the globe. Tap the + symbol in the right-hand corner of the
screen and select a city or country from the long list that will be displayed. You can use the
search box to help speed things up. Tap on the location you want to use and it will be added
to your personalised list of world clocks.
Tapping Edit in the top-left corner lets you remove any clocks you no longer want to see
(select the red dot that appears) and it also enables you to rearrange clocks (tap the three-line
icon and drag it to the required spot). Why not switch between analogue and digital? Just tap
the name of the city or country to do so.

but we just want to adjust
the time. To do this, turn Set

also help to extend your
battery life) and tap the time
displayed using the sliders

to choose the correct time.
There isnt much reason to
adjust the time manually
because even if you go on

you can simply adjust the
time zone by tapping on it
and selecting the country

Notes
If something is on your mind or if you want to save something for later, the Notes
app is a handy way of keeping a log of your iPad and lifes activity
Dictate notes
Write messages using your voice
Built into iOS is a brilliant voice recognition system that can be utilised when using the Notes
app. Create a new note within Notes by tapping the compose icon in the top-right corner of the
screen, and call up the keyboard by tapping in the main writing area. Tap the microphone key
and start to talk. When you have finished, tap Done and your words will be processed and placed
within your note. You can then complete the note and save it by tapping Done in the top righthand corner.
For an even faster way of doing this, hold down on the Home button to activate Siri. Now say
write note and dictate whatever you want to write in the note. Siri will then create the note on
your behalf and save it. You will be able to review the text that Siri has written up for you by going
to the Notes app.
You have various notesharing options
Share a note
Pass them on
So youve written a note
on your iPad and you
would like to share it with
someone else. The best
way to do this is to send
it via a text message or
through email. To do this,
open up the note that you
wish to share and select
the Share button in the
top right-hand corner of
the screen. You will see
the options for Message
and Mail. Tap whichever
one you would like to
use. In both instances, the
text from your note will
be pasted into the body
of your message or your
email and you can simply
enter a recipient and send
the message or email in
the usual way. The note
remains within your Notes
app so dont worry about
losing it. You are also
able to share a message
via AirDrop with people
nearby. Tap AirDrop and
then select their device.

Share notes across other devices
When you write a note
on your iPad, it is possible
to easily sync it across
all of your Apple devices
using iCloud. Go to
Settings>iCloud and make
sure iCloud is turned on and
that you are logged in with
your Apple ID. Then ensure
that Notes is turned on
within the iCloud settings.
By doing this, you are able to
WorldMags.net
view your Notes on an Apple

Mac using the Notes app
for OS X as well as see them
on an iPad or an iPod touch
that is also linked to your
iCloud account. This works
the other way around too, so
you could write a shopping

larger keyboard and it will be
synced to your iPad to carry

Print notes
Send a note to paper
Many people have AirPrint printers

these days which hook up to their
Wi-Fi networks and allow for easy,
direct printing from an iPad. If you
have one of these, then printing a note
is a very straightforward affair and it
simply needs you to open up a note
and select the Share option. Tap on Print
and then Select Printer. As long as your
AirPrint printer is enabled and turned
on, it should show up in the list. Tap on

the printer and then select the number
of copies that you wish to print out
using the and + keys. Then, when
you are satisfied, tap Print. To check on
the progress of your printing, you can
double-tap the Home button and swipe
to the right. This will call up the Print
Centre, from where you can view the

Undo mistakes

Make text corrections
Cut, copy and paste to and

Everyone makes mistakes. It is why pencils have erasers.

And it is also why your iPad has a built-in Undo function that
Notes can use, but that few people seem to know about. If
you type some gobbledegook or find that youve just deleted
something major, give your iPad a nice little shake while the
app is still open. It will call up a window which asks if you want
to undo what you have just done. Tap Undo or choose Cancel.
By tapping Undo, the last action will be erased. Be aware,
though, that if you have just typed an entire sentence, the
whole lot will go rather than just the last few words.
Your iPad has a built-in Undo function

that Notes can use
Check the meaning of a word within a note
Use the Define option built into the iPad
Have you ever come across a word that
perplexes you, sending you reaching for
a dictionary or perhaps Google in order
to find out what it means? Thankfully, you
dont need to do that in Notes, which is great
if you have pasted something into the app
that has baffled you. Simply press and hold
down on the required word in order to select
it and then go ahead and tap Define. The iPad
will look for a definition for you. If you find
that it keeps on throwing up blanks, though,
tap on Manage at the bottom of the Define
screen and select an additional dictionary to
download to your handset. That will, in the
majority of cases, fix any problems, and you
will be able to view definitions, derivatives
and the origin of most of the words that you
highlight. If you are struggling to understand
a piece of writing or want to check the exact
definition of something, make sure that you
utilise this very useful feature.
The copy and paste functionality of iOS really

comes into its own when using the Notes
app, since you can copy text from other
apps such as Mail or the Safari browser and
paste them into notes for safe-keeping and
reference. To copy text, just hold down on
the words that you want to select until a small
menu appears.
Tap Select and a set of markers will show on
the screen. Move the markers so they are at
the front and the end of the text you want to
copy and then, in the new small menu which
has appeared on the screen, select Copy. Now
open a new note and hold down within it.
Select Paste and the text you have copied will
be placed within this new note.
This method works for almost all of the
text you encounter on your iPad (exceptions,
annoyingly, include Facebook). You can copy
tweets and select text from Dropbox. You can
even copy images: why not try holding down
and copying a photo in Safari and see if it lets
you paste the link to it into Notes? In most
cases, it will.
Its nice and easy to cut and paste text
between all of your notes

landscape and portrait mode. You can,
of course, also use a single finger to
move around the screen to see more
of the map.
Maps arent just about getting

you from A to B. They are also
for locating important services
and landmarks, and helping
you to acquaint yourself with
an area. With the Maps app, you
can get information on local

The route function of Apple maps is not only

useful for drivers. You can also use it when you
are out and about on foot. To activate directions
when walking, drop a pin in the location of your
destination and then either tap the Directions
option in the top-left corner of the interface or
tap on the pin and choose the Directions to
Here option from the pop-up window. Now
tap Route and the default driving route will be
displayed. Tap the Walk tab at the top of the
screen and the route will be amended to reflect
the change in mode. Now hit the Start button
at the bottom of the screen to get directions. If
you would like the directions to be spoken to
you then you can turn on VoiceOver mode in
Settings>General>Accessibility, but be aware
that this will change the gestures that you use
to control your iPad.
Voice directions when walking
When you search for a location, the

Maps app places a red pin on the map
to highlight the destination you are
looking for. If you tap on the pin, a label
will appear next to it giving you the name
of the location and an indication of how
long it will take you to get there from your
current position. The icon will show either
a car or a person, which indicates the time
it would take to drive or walk respectively.
The magic happens when you tap on this
icon: a quick route will be plotted from your
current location to the destination and if
you tap Start, Maps will begin to give audio
and visual directions as you make your way
towards the pins location.
Map options
Explore the features
The main options for the Maps app can be accessed

by tapping on the i icon in the lower-right corner of
the screen. This brings up a pop-up window presenting
three possible map views and a few extra features. The
views are Standard, Hybrid and Satellite. Standard lacks
detail but has all roads marked, Satellite provides an aerial
photograph of the map and Hybrid is a mixture of the
two. From the pop-up window you can also drop a pin,
change the map to 3D mode, report a problem and
toggle the traffic on or off. This latter option can be useful
when planning trips because the map will reflect how
congested a certain route may be and you can then get it
to suggest an alternative route.
Turn-by-turn directions
are available whether
youre in a vehicle
or on foot
Use bookmark syncing

Sync between iOS and Mac OS X
Maps bookmark syncing was introduced
with iOS 7, bringing the app in line with
other iPad services that already allowed
for iCloud bookmark syncing (Safari being
one). It means you are able to add a location
as a Favourite on your iPad and view it when
using Maps on another Apple device, whether
it uses iOS such as an iPad or an iPod touch,
or whether it uses OS X, the operating system
for a Mac (Maps was added as a Mac app with
OS X Mavericks). Make sure you have iCloud
enabled on each device and are logged in
using the same Apple ID, then use your iPads
Maps app in the usual way, adding a Favourite
by tapping a pin, tapping the Share icon and

selecting Add to Favourites. You can access
your favourites by tapping on the Search field
choosing the Favourites section from the
drop-down menu.

Siri
Talking to Siri may feel a little silly at first but once you harness his or her true powers,
you will soon find yourself rather dependent
Get help with passwords
Generate suggestions
One little-known tip when using Siri is the virtual assistants ability to generate an endless
supply of random, secure passwords to help protect your device. To do this it uses Wolfram
Alpha, a computational knowledge engine, and the whole process takes only seconds to complete.
Simply hold down the Home button on your iPad and, when Siri activates, say Wolfram password.
Siri will take a moment and then show you a variety of results which you will be able to use to
register for a site or service. It will also spell your selected option out to you in written form using the
phonetic alphabet.
For more information, just scroll down. Siris search for a random password will show that the
password would take a hacker a mere 229 years to crack. It also shows a list of common password
types for different services.
The more information
you provide, the more
helpful Siri
becomes
Whos who?
Identify friends
Siri wants to be integral to
your life but like anybody
who freshly enters your
circle, it can be hard to
know who is who without
a proper introduction. Let
Siri know who your friends
and family are to make more
effective use of Apples very
own virtual personal assistant.
Lets start with your partner.
Hold the Home button to
activate Siri and say Message
my girlfriend/boyfriend. Siri
will ask who that is. Just say
his or her name and Siri will
ask whether you want it to
remember the relationship
so just say yes. Alternatively,
go to Contacts and select
your own name. Tap Edit,
scroll down to Add Related
Name and see a field entitled
mother. Tap this to view
different relations, from
brother to spouse to manager.
Select one and find the
person who fits the bill. Then
Tap Add Related Name again
and repeat.
Head into Settings to choose a voice gender for Siri
Gender change
Set Siri as a male or female voice
Siris voice can be set to
be either male or female
depending on your
preference. To change the
voice gender, just open
the Settings app and go
to General>Siri. Tap on the
option for Voice Gender
to go to the options page.
Now place a tick next to
either Male or Female and
tap Siri to go back. When Siri
WorldMags.net
next talks, the voice will be

either a man or a woman
depending on the choice
you made. Unfortunately,
at present, these are the
only two rigid options but
you never know; in future
updates you may be able
to select different male and
female voices, a variety of
regional accents or even
iconic celebrity voices.

Set locations
Let Siri find your home
It is an easy process to set specific locations for contacts

and have Siri find them with ease. This feature is most useful
for your own home. Open the Contacts app and add yourself
as a contact, entering your address and ensuring that it is set
to home. Save this and go to General>Siri. Next to My Info,
find and use the contact you have just created. Now when
you ask Siri to Find my way home, it will determine the route
from your current location.
You can do the same for other locations important to
you. Add another address in Contacts under your name,
label it work and again, you can get directions to work from
wherever you are. Of course, this all means that Siri now
knows where you live.
Leave Siri to

services for you
Open apps with Siri
Find out whats

happening on Twitter
Sounds lazy? It can actually be

quite useful
Yes, we know that opening apps on your
iPad is not the most difficult of tasks to
perform. You look for the app you want, then
you tap on the icon and, hey presto, it appears
on your screen ready for use. But many of us
have so many apps crammed onto our iPads
that looking for the one we want can become
quite a time-consuming pain, so being able
to take the sting out of it by using your voice
and Siri to search makes life just that little bit
easier. Activate Siri by holding down the Home
button and then say Open [name of app].
In an instant, Siri will find the app and open
it up much faster than you ever could with a
manual search. You dont even have to say the
full name of the app. If Siri recognises a partial
name, it will give you a list of possibilities from
which you can select the correct choice. All you
then have to do is tap on the one that best fits
your requirements for the app to open. It might
only shave a few seconds off your time, but
those seconds will quickly add up.
Siri can integrate happily with Twitter;

when iOS 7 was launched, it brought
with it upgraded Twitter functionality
and one of the treats was full tweet
searches. By asking Siri What are people
saying about or Search Twitter for, the
personal assistant performs a quick trawl of
the social media service and throws up some
results for you. You can also ask What is Trending
on Twitter and Find tweets with the hashtag
Even better, you can even tweet. Say tweet and
your message and Siri will ask if you want to post it.
Just tap Send or say yes. If you havent set up Twitter
within the operating system, Siri will prompt you to do
so and take you through the steps.
Enjoy yourself
Feel free to ask Siri anything

begin with, as you start to feel at ease you

for a quick-fire response or something
specific to yourself based on the information
in your device. And the more you experiment
the more fun you can have. Try asking

answers, and for more diverse responses you

Apps for kids
View children-friendly apps
When iOS 7 was launched in 2013, it brought

with it so many great visual flourishes as well
as a host of new features and one of the most
significant was the introduction of a Kids App
Store within the main App Store app. In order
to view it, you first need to open the App Store
app and then navigate to Categories>Kids. You
will then see four sub-sections. One will show
you apps for all kids, and the other three are
broken down for ages five and under, between
Deleted apps can be reinstalled via the App Store
six and eight and between nine and 11. By

tapping on each of these categories, you are
able to view a whole host of amazing kids
apps that are completely appropriate for their
respective age ranges. However, the password
of the account holder is still needed in order
for your children to download or purchase
apps, so there is no need to worry about the
kids racking up a huge App Store bill if left to
browse unsupervised.
Add Wish Lists

Save purchases for later
When browsing the iPads App Store, you may not want to buy an app straight
away perhaps youd like to wait until you are on Wi-Fi or until you have more
money available. If you would like to buy an app later, you can add it to your Wish
List: a convenient way to build up a shopping list of apps for later consideration.
Tap the Share icon on the apps purchase page, followed by Add to Wish List. The
app will be placed under the Wish List tab, located via the icons at the bottom of
the App Store screen. You can add as many items as you want to a Wish List, and
to buy an item you simply tap the icon and select Buy.

Music
The Music app is a fantastic way of organising your music library
as well as playing and listening to your favourite tracks
Use Now Playing screens

Master the controls
Most of the time you will probably be listening to
your music with the iPad screen turned off, but
when a track that you rather like starts playing,
or a track that you are unfamiliar with begins to
play, you might want to switch on the screen
and check out the Now Playing display. It has
some very useful information about the song that
is currently playing in addition to the great artwork
that is shown. For example, you are able to see
both the track and album names in case you are
not familiar with them. The track length is displayed
and you can see your current position in the song.
The music can be paused, you can return to the
beginning of the track, or you can skip the track
and go to the next one. Repeat repeats the track,
Create creates a new playlist from it, and Shuffle
plays the album tracks in random order, starting
with the current song.
Sync everything
Keep tracks synced
If you use many different devices
to listen to music on then it is
easy to keep everything in sync
between them. To do so, you
must first be signed into iCloud in
Settings with your Apple ID, so go
ahead and do that if you need to.
If you have iTunes Match then be
sure to turn it on in Settings>Music,
as this automatically makes all
tracks available on all iOS devices.
Alternatively, in Settings>Music
you can find the option for
Home Sharing, which achieves a
similar result. With these simple
settings enabled, keeping your
music synced and up to date is
seamless, automatic and completely
transparent just what we want!

Take photos in burst mode

Some subjects just wont keep still for
a photograph, no matter what you try,
and sometimes capturing good images
of children and pets can be particularly
challenging. Sports photography can be
equally difficult and by the time you have
taken a photo of something you may well
have missed the action completely. For tricky
occasions such as these, its best to use the

better results. This feature makes the Camera

take a continuous stream of photos, one after
the other, in rapid succession. You can then
look through your pictures and delete the
unwanted ones afterwards, just keeping the
best shots. To use burst mode, simply press and
hold the shutter button in the Camera app just
before the action takes place and then, when
you want to stop shooting, just release the
shutter button.
Use the volume buttons

Alternative controls for taking snaps
Reflections can make it difficult to see what is happening on the iPad screen
on bright sunny days, which in turn makes it harder to take photos using the
Camera app, and to see the on-screen buttons. Jabbing at the screen with a
large digit can also shake the camera when you are taking a shot, which can lead
to blurred images. Thankfully, the volume buttons can be used to take photos
on the iPad instead, making it easier to hold the device steady with both hands,
giving you a sharp, more accurate shot. The button click also gives you a satisfying
tactile feedback. The overall effect makes using the iPad Camera app feel much
more like using a traditional camera.
Rule of thirds
Compose using the grid
The rule of thirds is a
trick for improving the
composition of your
photos. Images look better
when placed one third
or two thirds up, down,
left or right. To get some
help when composing
your images, go to
Settings>Photos & Camera
and turn on Grid. This
overlays the camera image
with a grid dividing the
screen into thirds. You can
then use this to position
the subject in your photo.

For this reason it is best to check that a photo is okay. If
it isnt, you can then take another one. The Camera app

One of the new features of the iOS 8

which gives you a few seconds to frame
your picture before getting in shot. When
launching the Camera app in iOS 8 you will
see a timer icon to the side of the screen. Tap
this and you can choose between a three
and ten-second delay, meaning you can
set up your perfect shot and have plenty of
time to jump into the frame and pose before
the device takes the photo. There is also a
new Time-Lapse mode where you can snap
photos at dynamically selected intervals.
The result is a video showing an accelerated
sequence of the photos over time. Just hit the

like a custom webpage, with text, images and sometimes interactive sections
like crosswords and other puzzles. There is often a menu button situated in the
top-left corner, which opens a panel that provides access to the contents. The
app might support swipes to open the contents panel or to move from one
article to the next.
The other popular style is where you access digital versions of a print
magazine. Swipe through the pages, pinch and spread to zoom in and out as
you would a photo. Tap a page to display thumbnails and jump to any page.

After browsing the Newsstand store and adding digital versions of some of
your favourite magazines, you might wonder how to get a new issue or ensure
that you never miss future ones. Each Newsstand app has facilities for showing
the latest issue, usually as a thumbnail, which can be downloaded manually. You
often have to manually download the first edition immediately after subscribing
and then you can set up automatic downloads for subsequent issues. Select
the current issue and hit the download button, then go to the iPads Home
screen and tap Settings>General>Background App Refresh. If the publication
supports automatic downloading, there will be an option to turn on Background

to keep Newsstand and other apps on
the Home screen youll need to create a
folder. This is straightforward in iOS, but if
you have not created one before, it is not
immediately obvious how to do it. You just
need to long-press on an icon on the Home
screen until they all start to wiggle. Press
and drag the Newsstand app and drop it
onto another app, such as Game Centre. This
creates a folder which can then be named
something obvious like Apple apps. Longpress Newsstand and drag it out to undo
this or drop it in a new folder.
Catch up with missed issues

Once you have downloaded a Newsstand
magazine or newspaper and have the
current issue, you might want to catch up
on some previous issues. Every app has its
own way of providing access to back issues,
so we cannot be specific about how to
do this. Some apps provide a collection of
thumbnail images of magazine covers on
the Home screen, going from the latest to
the oldest. Swipe up or across to browse the
issues and tap one to go to the purchase or
download options screen. Some apps have
a Cover Flow type of display that lets you
swipe through all the previous issues; others
provide a menu on the left that is accessed
by swiping to open the menu panel or by
pressing the top-left button. Look around
and explore the app.
Creating folders
is straightforward
Clean up
Remove publications
There are lots of magazines available for Newsstand

and it can be fascinating trying them. Each one is
added to the Newsstand Home screen whether you
actually buy an issue or subscribe, so it can soon fill up
with publications. If you no longer want a magazine, you
should first stop subscribing to it by going to the iTunes
Store, selecting your Apple ID at the bottom, then going
to Manage under Subscriptions. This prevents new issues
being downloaded and any further charges. You can keep
what you have, but if you no longer want the magazine,
newspaper issues or the app, go to the Newsstand home
screen where all the titles are shown. Long-press on a
publication and then tap the x icon to delete it.
Publications offer several

ways to access
back issues
Restore subscriptions youve deleted

Delete subscriptions and renew them
Go to the App Store, scroll down to the
bottom of the screen and tap on your
Apple ID. Tap on the View Apple ID option
and then sign into the iTunes Store. Go to
the Subscriptions section and press Manage.
Your active subscriptions are then listed
and tapping on one opens the relevant
subscriptions page. You cannot cancel a
current subscription, but you can stop it
renewing by turning off Auto Renewal.
You can also restore a lapsed magazine
or newspaper subscription through
these options in the app or by going to
Subscriptions in the App Store and choosing a
new subscription offer. You can easily see the

list of your expired subscriptions and sign up
again should you wish to do so.

iBooks
Carry a library of books with you that you can read anywhere. Add bookmarks, look
up definitions, get free samples and even send books as gifts
Search for text
Find any word anywhere
There may be occasions where you want to find where a particular word appears in a book.
This situation would probably arise more often with study books, cookery books, reference works
and the like, rather than novels you are reading for fun. You might be researching a subject, reading
books associated with an iTunes U course, or using a reference book to find out about a certain
topic. To search a book, all you need to do is to tap the magnifying glass icon at the right side of
the toolbar and enter a word or phrase into the search box. A drop-down menu will then appear,
which lists every place the search term appears in the book. The listing will also show the chapter
and page number, as well as the text surrounding the word or phrase. Another way to quickly
search through books is to long-press on a specific word on the page and then tap Search in the
toolbar that pops up.
Skim through
the pages
Using the slider to
move around
The usual way to move
from one page to the
next or the previous one
is to swipe left or right. A
nice animation of the page
turning is displayed on the
screen, but it would be
very tedious flipping each
page in turn if you wanted
to jump to another part
of a long book. A cookery
book with recipes is not
read from start to finish, for
example, and youll browse
it and look for something
you like. In any book you
can press and drag the
slider at the bottom of the
screen to move quickly
through the pages. It
displays title or chapter
headings, making it easy to
navigate the book.
Drag the slider to
jump to any section
or chapter
Not sure about a book? Read the free sample
Get free samples

Try it before you buy it
You cant judge a book by
its cover and so you wont
know whether you will
enjoy it without opening
it and reading it. At a real
book store youd be able
to flick through a book and
read a few paragraphs, but
what about online book
stores? Thankfully, you
can do that in the iBooks
Store too. Go to the Store
WorldMags.net
(by Tapping Featured) and

when you find a book, press
the Sample button on the
book detail page. It will be
downloaded and added
to the Library just as if you
had purchased it. Return to
the My Books section and
look for the book with a
red Sample banner across
the corner. You can then go
ahead and read an extract.

Gift an iBooks voucher

If you know someone who loves to
read books and they have an iPhone
or iPad, then why not send them a gift
voucher to use in the iBooks Store?
If someone has a birthday or special
occasion coming up soon, or you simply
want to thank them for something they
have done for you, then tap on Featured
and scroll down to the bottom of the
page. There are two buttons there: one
Send books as gifts
is to send a gift voucher and the other

is to redeem one. Tap Send Gift and you
can enter the persons email address and
then select the amount that you would
like the voucher to be for, such as 15,
20 or some other amount. There is even
an option to set a specific date for the
voucher to be sent, so it could be today,
next week or next month when it is the
recipients birthday.
Bookmark pages
Print out an iBook
Mark pages and remember them
Print copies of certain

publications in iBooks
Sometimes you want to remember a page in a book so

that you can return to it at a later date. iBooks remembers
the page last read, of course, but there are other reasons
why you might want to bookmark a page. You might want
to mark important pages in a book associated with iTunes
U or some study course you are taking, favourite recipes
or poems and so on. To bookmark a page, press the icon
in the top-right corner so that it turns red. To see all the
pages you have bookmarked, press the menu button in
the toolbar and select the Bookmarks tab. Tap a bookmark
to go there.
PDFs that you add to iBooks can

often be printed
Get word definitions
Manage your dictionaries
One of the great advantages of reading
books in iBooks is that when you come
across a word you dont know, you dont
have to put your book down and go and
find a dictionary. You can look up words and
get definitions from within iBooks. It takes
no time at all to get a definition and you can
choose which dictionary you use. Long-press
on a word and when the toolbar appears,
tap on Define. It will say No definition found
the first time you do this and you must tap
the Manage button and select one or more
dictionaries to use. Once added, you can
long-press on a word, tap Define and see
the definition. If you add more than one
dictionary, tap Dictionary at the top of the
screen and you can select the dictionary you
want to use, such as British or American.
Certain items in iBooks can be printed

to provide a hard copy in addition to the
electronic form contained on the iPad. You
wont find this facility in just any old book,
however, and most titles purchased in the
iBooks Store cannot be printed. In fact, they
wont even show the print button or options
to begin with. PDFs that you add to iBooks can
often be printed, though, and some course
materials that are downloaded using iTunes U
can end up in iBooks and these can often be
printed. If the book or PDF allows it, there will
be a Share button in the toolbar at the top of
the iPad screen. Press it and you will see both
Email and Print options. Printing from iBooks is
the same as printing from other apps and any
AirPrint-enabled printer can be used. If your
printer isnt automatically selected by default
after tapping Print, then just tap Select Printer.
There are options to print all the pages or, by
tapping Range, to select the particular pages
that you would like to print. You can also set the
total number of copies.
Tap the Share button
and then tap Print

For the many third-party apps available to iPad and iPhones, most of your
more essential ones are already within iOS, and you can use it for all its priary
purposes straight out of the box. When it comes to web browsing, Apples
own Safari remains most dependable, offering an experience optimised for your
chosen device. The latest version in iOS 8 adds some subtle new features and
enhancements that can make a huge difference to your online experience. Whether
its the fresh full-screen mode, sidebar, private modes, tab views, desktop request
option or the credit card-scanning facility theres something exciting for all users to
try. In this quick-look guide we uncover a few of Safari iOS 8s prominent new features
for the iPad. They may apply to iPhones running iOS 8 as well, but they will inevitably
look and perform differently.

Take a flyover
city tour
App used: Maps Price: Free
Get up close and personal with your destinations

Maps was one of the apps that didnt receive much love in either iOS8 or OS
10.10, and many people still prefer the third party Google Maps app. Apple is
hoping to change this with the newly added Flyover Tour mode. While the
mode was a lonely addition, but nevertheless, one weve enjoyed playing around with
since its inception in the early software betas. This is Apples chance to take you on a
guided aerial tour of a popular landmark and its surroundings or a fly-by view of a city.
Itll certainly give you a brief spatial idea of where youre heading to much like
Googles Street View currently does, albeit on a much larger scale, and in full 3D. You
can also learn things about your planned destination during the tour, both through the
added audio or the text at the bottom of the screen.
More and more places are being added to Flyover Tour, but there are still less than
100 at the last time of counting, but dont expect your home village to be added soon,
as Apple seems to focusing mostly on landmarks and popular tourist destinations. Its
an eclectic mix (you can access it from Apples Support pages here: bit.ly/1rUS1pn),
from New York to Stonehenge to little-known Linkoping in Sweden, the home of C3
Technologies, the company whose technology Apple paid for Flyover years ago. In this
brief tutorial were going to show you how to search for and use the feature. Soon youll
be visiting New York right from your comfy spot on the sofa. Time to grab your iPad
and go on a journey
Maps Take a flyover city tour
1: Search
2: Flyover mode
3: Personal guide
Type your destination into the search bar at the

top. Click on the appropriate choice. Remember
Flyover Tour mode isnt that widespread yet.
Your choice loads up on a map. Hit the name

of the city for extra details, and find the Flyover
Tour, which is only available for selected places.
Your Flyover Tour will begin with a 360-degree

guided aerial tour in 3D, taking you up close
and personal with your landmark or city.

images with Pixelmator
Pixelmator lets you improve and edit
images in every way imaginable
The iPads big screen is ideal for showing and storing photos, as well as
editing them. However, with so many photo-editing apps available for the
iPad, its difficult to know which ones to try. Pixelmator, an app that has
gained massive popularity as well as critical acclaim from experts, is well worth
considering. This tutorial will show you the basics of what it can do, but you really
are only limited by your imagination because the tools included are extremely
powerful. Everything is laid out in a logical fashion and the interface is easy to use
with only a small selection of features visible at once.
This, however, does not mean that the possibilities are limited, because you
can add professional effect to your photos, adjust colours and light balance, repair
errors or blemishes and even manipulate the size of the image or add a subtle
frame. There is little that the app doesnt allow you to do, and its all up to your
own style and preferences. There is a lot of power behind the simplicity which is
highlighted when you study your finished creations. Put in a little bit of time and
youll be stunned by how the software can transform a dull photo into something
that you would happily hang on your wall. Its a perfect example of how carefully
made software can work effectively on an iPad.

Precision Clips Editor
Manage video clips frame by frame
in iMovie
iMovie has been primarily designed to help iPad users create movie
projects in a simple and straightforward way, and it certainly succeeds in
this aim. The emphasis on touch controls works beautifully and most of
the features are obvious in their implementation and easy to understand. However,
you can also precisely edit any video clip using the precision editor which lets you
add effects, speed up and slow down sections of a clip and even make changes
on a frame by frame basis.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to get started with precision editing and
enhance your movie projects. What you should keep in mind during this tutorial
is that iMovie is unique in the way it has been built which allows for a personal
style in the way you use it. The skills and techniques in this tutorial can be used in
any way you prefer. The touch-centric nature of the mechanics leaves you open to
interact with the software in a way that works for you and your preferred way of
working, so well try not to guide you too much. The best way to understand how
precision editing works is to load up a video, double-tap the clip and experiment
with the various options. Use a tester clip for some invaluable experience for your
main projects.

App used: GarageBand Price: Free
A steady rhythm section is ideal for stirring new

musical ideas. However, many GarageBand fans have
often felt constrained in this department. Previously
weve relied on pre-packaged loops, which although great, can
soon feel unoriginal and recognisable. While theres nothing
wrong with that, we longed for something different.

The smart bit

Smart Drums are among GarageBands Touch Instruments and make beat
creation intuitive. The grid very quickly simplifies the process of composing
sparse, single-strike, time-keeping rhythms or more complex fills. Where
the drum types are placed, the combinations you use and their relation to
each other has a profound effect on the overall result.

GarageBand Create beats using the Smart Drums
1: Picking a kit
2: Adding drums
3: Deeper grooves
Select Smart Drums from GarageBands main

carousel. Here youll find a gridded workspace,
blank by default. Begin by tapping the button
on the left, then Classic Studio Kit.
You begin creating beats by dragging the drum

icons onto the grid to form a groove. As soon
as you add a drum to any available square, the
looped preview begins playing.
You form beat patterns by adding multiple

drums onto the grid. Each part is made more
intricate by moving it left to right; or louder or
quieter by being moved up or down.
4: Filling the grid
5: Recording the beat
6: Mixer controls
Adding all the constituent drum parts at

varying levels of complexity and volume creates
fuller patterns. Drag icons back off should you
wish to remove them from the grid.
With your chosen pattern in place, press the

record transport button in the control bar
situated above. Press record or stop once more
to halt after the desired duration.
The mixer button, situated top-right, opens

controls for the new track. Here you can solo
if within a multi-track project, while varying
volume, panning, echo or reverb.

8: Song Settings
9: Get the right view
Click through to the Master Effects menu from

the mixer controls. Here you can set the type
of those applied effects, in this instance Reverb,
from a checklist of presets.
The Song Settings (spanner) button offers

access to metronome and key change options.
You can also alter your beats tempo here, using
the tap pad or arrowed input box.
The two View buttons left of the transport

controls toggle between the Smart Drums
and your project Tracks view. From here you
perform basic edits to the recorded region.

Use templates
in Pages
App used: Pages Price: 6.99
Templates can help you create professional looking

documents in minutes
Apple has implemented the use of templates in Pages in an obvious and
simple way which is easy to understand, and you can manipulate any of
them in any way you like. They are broken down into categories so that
you can quickly find a suitable one at which point it is yours to edit in any way that
works for the document you want to create. Sample images include a small + icon
that lets you simply choose a new image to replace it and you can do the same
with blocks of text; highlight a paragraph, delete it and insert your own. The
structure of the template remains in place, but with your content so that it looks
like a personal creation with a professionally laid out structure.
In this tutorial, we will explain how to select and edit a Pages template, and
how to edit them for your personal use. Remember that you can create your own
templates at any time and save them for use in the future. You can make anything
from your own flyers and posters to official documents you wish to reuse in a
professional environment.
Everything about templates in Pages is understated, from the number included
to the structures they use, and once you start using them you will work in a much
more efficient manner.
Pages Using templates
1: Setting up
2: Pick a template
3: Remove some text
Once Pages is installed, you will be presented

with a selection of pre-made templates to work
with. Each has a relevant description below.
Choose a template and itll appear with all of

the artefacts present. Images and text can be
changed as you go through your document.
You can highlight text by holding your finger

on the screen and then tapping the backspace
key on the right. Now type in or paste the text.

Perfectly
curated
templates
Posters and flyers

If you use the templates
in Pages to make nicely
designed posters or flyers,
you might want to save
these documents as PDFs
to make them easier to
share and distribute. You
can do this by tapping the
My Documents icon at the
bottom of your iPads screen,
and then selecting Send via
e-mail. Then choose PDF as
your format, and send the
e-mail with the document to
yourself (or someone else).
There is a Pages template

available for every task
Find and replace
No matter how detailed the template
is that you choose, you can add and
remove images and other objects as
you need to. The process could not
be simpler
Make your own

If you find yourself making the same
changes to templates over and
over again, you can save them at a
particular point and effectively create
your own personalised templates
The right balance
Be professional
Apple has included a varied range

of templates, but the number is still
relatively low. This careful curation
makes using templates in Pages quick
and easy
Creating professional documents is

never easy and understanding how
to format and organise a blank space
provides a lot of help. The included
professional templates solve this
problem immediately
4: Work with images
5: Professional templates
6: The finished product
Images in templates will have a + icon

embedded in them. Tap it to select any image
and itll replace the original in the correct scale.
You can also pick a more professional template,

like the CV example. The template is designed
to offer you a structure and nothing more.
Once you have finished, tap Documents at the

top. Your finished documents are shown in a
grid. Tap Create Document for a new template.

Design a newsletter in Pages

Create a newsletter template with customised images and text
App used: Pages Price: Free
One of the best things about Pages is that its

incredibly adaptable. Whether you want to write a
serious business proposal or make something a bit
more fun like a birthday card or poster, you can do it all in a
single, easy-to-use app that comes as part of your iPads
productivity package. One of the things it does best is to
enable you to design great-looking pages before getting down
to the nitty gritty of writing your text.
For example, you can easily create beautiful newsletters in
just a few seconds, and then use them time and time again
to create a monthly page that looks great. Here well show
you how to create and edit custom templates to use again in
nine straightforward steps. What are you waiting for? Lets
get cracking!
You can create beautiful

newsletters in a few seconds
Adding finishing touches

Personalise templates for unique newsletters
Text editing
To get the best view when editing, remember
you can zoom in with a pinch. In your template,
all text should be formatted, so adding content
is as easy as tapping and typing
Changing images
To replace images, you
can tap the frame youre
currently using, then tap
the Format button and
choose Image. From here,
simply tap Replace and
pick your new shot
Mix up colours
To make each issue of
your newsletter feel new
and different, change
the colour scheme of the
header, the lines, and any
coloured boxes and text
around the page in the
Format menu
Templates
On the Mac, there is
an option to save your
creations as templates that
you can access later. There
is no straightforward way
to do this on the iPad, so
instead you can create a
template as a document,
then duplicate it each time
you want to create a new
issue of the newsletter.
This way the original
always stays safely intact.
Boxes and fonts

Picking out some choice
phrases and using them
in quote boxes around
the text works nicely.
Use coloured boxes with
white text to differentiate
between different
sections of the page

Pages Make a newsletter in Pages
1: Create shapes
2: Add a title
3: Input headers
First, create some basic shapes to form a layout

of your design. These can show the size of
columns, denote the location of images or
show points for larger quotes to be placed.
First, create a title. You can use a combination of

shapes and fonts to get a personalised layout.
Remember you can change the shape style
and font in the Format menu.
Next, add your headers. For the opening

page this can be an issue number, the date
and introductory text. For subsequent pages,
replace the text with the newsletter title.
4: Add lines
5: Create text boxes
6: Placeholder images
Adding lines is a good way to make everything

look well ordered, and it can also help you
when trying to line up your text boxes and
images to make everything look professional.
While you can type right onto the page,

adding your text in text boxes will make laying
out multiple columns easier, and will let you
reposition text quickly and easily.
To finish, just add in some placeholder images.

Any photo will do, but set up the right border,
angle and wrapping options so youll only need
to add a new photo later on.
7: Wrapping options
8: Boxes and fonts
9: Extra pages
When youre working with multiple shapes,

images and text boxes, wrapping options
become an issue. You can set no wrapping, or
customise settings, in the Format menu.
Remember that you can customise all your

shapes and fonts in a number of ways. Select
an item in your document, hit Format and
select colours, sizes and more to fit your page.
You can create extra pages in the same

document, or hit the Documents button in
the top-left and start a new document for the
subsequent pages in your template.

Manage time with a project tracker
App used: Numbers Price: Free
Create a Gantt chart using a table, a few formulas

and a little creativity to boost organisation
You dont need a project management suite when youve got Numbers you can
custom build your own tool for the job straight from the comfort of your iPad. And
its a great way to practice your formula skills. What were going to do here is set up a
table containing some projects and then make sense of the schedule by using a chart and a
series of logic tests.
There will be an optional step involving your Mac desktop or laptop, but for the most part we
just need to know our objective: to plan when each project should start, based on the duration
and end date of the project that must be completed first. Here are nine tutorial steps to get a
greater understanding of just how useful Numbers can be for enhancing your organisation and
time management.
Numbers Make a project tracker
1: Set the variables
2: Account for weekends
3: Start the chart
Make a new table as shown; set Start and

Duration values for six projects, setting the
columns to Date and Number format, then add
an End column set to Date.
Get the End value by entering = WORKDAY

(StartProject, DurationProject, [Blank]), where
[Blank] is the empty exclude-dates field (you
can use this to handle holidays).
Make a Stacked Bar chart using just the Start

and End dates. Your chart should show all the
project durations in the second half of each bar,
from their start to end points.
4: Make it Gantt
5: Visualise projects
6: Chain the projects
You cant do this bit on iPad, so save the

document and open it up on Mac (via iCloud).
Change the colour of the first half of each bar
(the Start column) to No Fill.
Open it up on iPad and your Gantt chart clearly

emerges. Now you can easily change the Start
dates of each project depending on which
other projects need to be completed first.
Create a Precedent column, filling in the

number of the project that must be completed
beforehand (eg Project 1 before Project 3). Add
a Project number column at the front.
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
Using your project tracker

Get more from your Gantt and tidy up formulas
First project
Project 1s Start date should be the
earliest of them all, so make Project 1
the first thing that needs to be done;
other projects start dates may be
reliant on the end dates of others
Time elapsed
If you dont have
access to a Mac, you
can ignore steps four
and five. The first half
of each bar shows the
time between the
Project 1 Start and the
other Project Starts,
and may be useful
Ultimate AND
Copy the whole
LOOKUP formula from
the Precedent End
column, then select
the PrecedentEnd
reference in your Valid
Start? formula. Paste it
right on top to cut out
the middleman
Ultimate IF
Optimising projects
To save time using your project tracker, just plug in all your projects
(or daily/weekly/monthly tasks, your teams or team members, etc)
and then tune your Start dates. First think about your Precedents
and get those right, then set all Start dates as early as possible while
still getting a column full of TRUE values from your Ultimate IF.
Start an IF. In stages, copy the whole

formula from Has Precedent? into the
first part (if-expression), copy Ultimate
AND into the middle part (if-true), set
the final part (if-false) to . Youll now
get a blank space instead of a formula
error if there is no Precedent
7: Check if blank
8: Get Precedent End
9: Is Start valid?
Add a new formula in the next new column: =

NOT ISBLANK PrecedentProject. NOT reverses
ISBLANKs true/false check on PrecedentProject,
which is the adjacent cell.
Now we find PrecedentProjects End date: =

LOOKUP PrecedentProject, ProjectColumn,
EndColumn. This checks the first column to find
the corresponding cell in the second column.
Finish with a logic test to check if PrecedentEnd

is before this projects Start: = AND
PrecedentEnd < Start. Use the true/false result
to help you fine-tune your Start dates.

App used: Keynote Price: Free
Animate your slides easily with the Magic Move

tool in Keynote for iOS
Keynote is an absolutely brilliant app when it comes to animations and transitions
between slides and best of all, it comes completely free with newer iPads, and
can be installed for nothing on earlier models. Whatever the style of your
presentation, theres bound to be at least one transition that fits the mood and can add a touch
of excitement to your project.
Magic Move takes these animations to the next level, making it easy for you to transition
between slides smoothly, but maintain images and text between the two. Resizing and moving
images with the Magic Move feature activated will create an automatic animation when you
click to progress. It makes animating your slides even easier, and the results can look fantastic.
Here we show you how to take complete control in nine straightforward steps.
Keynote Use Magic Move transition animations
1: Create a slide
2: Open the menu
3: Duplicate the slide
The first thing you need to create a Magic Move

animation is a slide. Add text and images, at
least one of which you want to keep on-screen
for the next slide.
Tap on the slide youre currently editing to see

the menu appear. Tap the Transition option on
the far right of the menu, then chose the Magic
Move option at the top of the list.
Youll be prompted to choose whether or

not you wish to duplicate the slide. Select Yes
to make your job easier it will create a new
version of the slide right after the first.
4: Move your objects
5: Opacity, rotation and more
6: Work on both slides
Move and resize the objects you want to be

maintained between the two slides. Set the
starting position on the first slide and the end
position on the second for best results.
You can also change the opacity and rotation of

your images and text. Twist with two fingers to
rotate, and use the Style Options section of the
Format panel to adjust opacity.
Remember that you need to edit both slides for

the results you want. On your first slide, position
an object at the centre, then on the second,
shrink it and add text below.

Getting great Magic Move results
Common objects
Magic Move works best when
you have at least one common
object between your two slides.
Whether its a piece of text or
an image, having the same
item on both slides will produce
best results
Top tips for getting the most out of the Magic Move tool
Always duplicate
Its always a good
idea to duplicate your
slide when using
Magic Move; it makes
it easier to edit the
objects that you want
to animate, and it will
save you from having
to add images and text
manually later
Fade in, fade out

You can delete or add
anything you want
between your two
slides. Anything you
delete will fade out
automatically during
the transition, and
anything you add
will fade in, keeping
everything smooth
Fixing broken matches
Edit at any time
If you have an object on both slides that simply isnt matching,

you can fix it. A broken match basically means that the animation
you want doesnt work, and it can ruin the look of the whole slide.
To fix it, delete one of the objects, then copy the object from the
other slide and paste it into the first, then edit it again.
You can go back and make changes to your

Magic Move animations at any time when
youre editing your presentation; you dont
have to perfect your slides first time. Simply
start moving your objects again
7: Zoom in
8: Youre done
9: Test it out
If you wish to zoom in on the screen, tap the

Zoom icon in the toolbar and you and instantly
zoom in or out on whatever is currently on your
Macs desktop.
The objects on your slide that are set up to use

a Magic Move transition will be labelled with a
small star icon. When youre happy with your
settings, tap Done in the top-right.
You can tap play with your first slide selected

to get a preview of how your transition will play
out. If youre not happy with the results you can
always make changes.

Sharing on an iOS 8 device
Share purchases with up to six family members and
allow payments from a single credit card
An iPad is a gadget that is suited for family use, and often has several
users in one household, from children playing games, parents keeping
on top of their e-mail and online communication, to grandparents using
it to reread their favourite classics on a new platform. Your iPad will probably be
used for more than one purpose, and by more than one person. On top of that, it
is highly likely that you will have more than one iDevice at home with family
members currently enjoying the fresh delights of iOS 8. But what if you could bring
all of your familys accounts together and allow purchases made on one iPad or
iPhone to be made available on another? And what if you didnt have to share your
own Apple ID or password but allowed everyone to have their own accounts while
using a single credit or debit card that you can still control?
With Family Sharing, you are able to link accounts together within a single group.
Purchases made by one family member can be downloaded by another. Children
under 13 can be forced to have their payments verified by you before they go
through, and you can use the new feature to share a family calendar, photo album
and reminders list. Whats more, if you turn on Location Sharing, you can even
allow other family members to see where your devices are.

How to safely
jailbreak your iPad
App used: Pangu 8 Price: Free
Follow our advice to keep your iPad

working when jailbroken
Jailbreaking an iPad offers many benefits and the ability to do things with
your tablet which would otherwise be impossible when you use you iPad
the way it came in the box. You can set it up to act in a way which is
perfect for how you work and play, but you should also be aware that Apple will
not intervene in the process by checking each app for safety like it would normally
do on the official app store. This means that there are rogue apps in circulation,
and even unreliable app stores, so you need to try and stay within safe parameters
where possible.
We have detailed what you should do before attempting a jailbreak and also
the steps you need to follow to complete the process. There are a few solutions
available, but you will need to do your research to see which will work with your
current iOS version and also your desktop operating system. For this tutorial, we
have used a tool called Pangu 8 which works on both Windows and Macs, and
you may be surprised that the actual process only requires one click to perform.
However, preparation is key here so make sure you have everything backed up
before you start.
Pangu 8 Jailbreak your iPad
1: Back it up!
2: Time to reset?
3: Download the jailbreak app
Before you jailbreak your iPad or perform any

hack, back up your data. Use iCloud Backup or
connect to iTunes desktop and back up.
You can reset your iPad and wipe all data

before you jailbreak or risk it. Its worth resetting
if you have problems performing a jailbreak.
Use a site like www.taig.com/en/ to download

the jailbreak app for your OS. Now open it like a
normal app and let in install in the normal way.

Why jailbreak?
The iPad is capable of a lot
of things straight out of
the box. With enormous
amount of apps available for
the device, it is versatile and
can be adjusted and made
into your ideal gadget. But
if youre curious about how
far this portable computer
can go, if you want to bypass
Apples restrictions to what
you can change on an iPad,
or use it as an emulator for
other software, jailbreaking is
your new hobby.
Cydia is a safe haven for

iPad hacks
Research everything
Do as much research as you can before
you undertake a jailbreak. There are
many potential pitfalls which can be
avoided by researching as much of the
topic as possible
Known sources
If you are unsure of the sources
listed in Cydia, look up known ones
and use them instead. It takes time,
but will be worth it in the long run
to ensure you are safe
Do anything!
The official jailbreak
Once the jailbreak is installed, you have

access to make changes and use features
that are not available in the official iTunes
app store. There is no limit to what you
can do
Make sure you only use Cydia to

download hacks for your iPad and
avoid any third party app stores that
are installed when you jailbreak
4: Start the jailbreak process
5: Wait for the icon
6: Cydia sources
Connect your iPad to your desktop and click

Start Jailbreak to begin. Youll see a warning if
you have an iOS version that cant be jailbroken.
The process can take some time and may

involve multiple restarts. Leave the iPad alone
and youll be rewarded with a new Cydia icon.
After a jailbreak is installed, check the sources

first by tapping the Sources icon in Cydia.
Double-check they are all official repositories.

Unlock via face

recognition
Add the functionality of face recognition to your iPad
App used: Appellancy

Price:
1.19/$1.99
Appellancy is an app that showcases one of the

core benefits of jailbreaking. In this instance it takes a
feature that is normally associated with other devices
and makes it available on your iPad. By installing Appellancy,
you can use face recognition to unlock your device. The app
works by storing photos of your face taken at a variety of angles
in varying lighting conditions. These are then used to recognise
your face when the Lock screen is displayed on your iPad. You
can create profiles of face galleries for other people as well. As
a result, Appellancy can be trained to accept multiple users
on one device. There are also further options that allow you to
tweak the appearance and operation of the app. Whether its as
secure as the normal passcode system is down to your success
at getting good profile pictures. At the very least, it provides an
interesting way of keeping your phone secure. If you have an
iOS device that doesnt utilise a touch ID sensor, you may find it
to be a useful alternative to the standard passcode option.
Appellancy Use your face to unlock your iPad
1: Set up passcode
2: Add user images
3: Taking pictures
Appellancy will need to learn your passcode to

work. Activate the app in Settings then lock/
unlock your device and open the app icon.
Tap the + icon and enter the intended users

name. Tap OK to create a new entry and then
select it to start the face capture process.
The app will use the front-facing camera and

will take five photos. Move the camera around
at different angles as the shots are taken.

settings
Battery warning
Due to the nature of the
Appellancy tweak you
should expect a noticeable
hit on your iPads battery
life. So if your device is quite
old and the battery life is
significantly less than that in
the newer models then you
might consider giving this
particular tech moderation
a miss.
Extra settings
in Appellancy
Show lock screen image

When activated, this option displays
that front-facing camera feed within
the Lock screen. This will appear on
the passcode keypad rather than the
initial Lock screen
Further options
There are further options that
dictate when Appellancy
may not be required (when
music is playing, for example).
Experiment with these to get
your optimal experience
Change labels
With Appellancy you can create
custom labels that replace the
Lock screen slide to unlock
prompt. This option allows you
to toggle between default or
custom labels
Activate guest mode

If an unauthorised user picks
up your iPad, you can force the
device to go into guest mode.
This limits the functionality of
the device while they are in
possession of it
4: Adding more users
5: Start face recognition
6: Testing profiles
The pictures are added to your Appellancy

profile. Add more photos by selecting your
profile again or add another user via the + icon.
Now lock your device and unlock it again. An

Appellancy started notification will appear. This
will then be followed by a recognised prompt.
Test Appellancys face recognition abilities by

selecting the Recognise option. A switch allows
you to change cameras if necessary.

Make your passcode

impossible to guess
A clever app designed to confuse anyone who tries
to access your iPad
App used: ScramblePass
Price:
Free
Passcodes are extremely useful for securing your

data and for putting off the casual thief, but there is
an inherent problem with all tablets that use glass
screens. Your fingerprints can possibly stay on the screen which
means that if anyone picks up your iPad, they may be able to
guess your passcode. You could wipe your screen every time
you use your iPad which is inconvenient or you could use
ScramblePass which cleverly changes the order of the passcode
keys on the lock screen. This means that it does not matter
where your fingerprints are because the numbers are in
different positions anyway, but it can be annoying having to
hunt out the numbers each time. The developer, however, has
even thought about this by letting you manually scramble the
keys if you are leaving your iPad alone. This means that the
correct order is kept in place at all other times thus offering the
best mix of convenience and security for any iPad owner. This
app is clever, simple to use and very effective.
ScramblePass Conceal your iPad passcode
1: Install ScramblePass
2: Locate the app
3: Your unlock method
Search for ScramblePass in the Cydia library

and install it in the usual way. It is completely
free of charge and small in size.
ScramblePass will be displayed in the Settings

menu in the left-hand column. Select it to see
which options are available to you.
Tap the Enabled icon at the top and then

select the Scramble Trigger option. You can
now choose Every Unlock or Manually.

Just the settings
A quick touch
Like so many Cydia solutions,

ScramblePass sits purely in the
Settings screen ready to use when
you want to make some changes
Tapping this option will

perform a manual scramble of
the passcode buttons, which is
handy if you prefer to not use
the automatic option
One option
among many
This app performs one
function extremely well, but
there are many alternatives
available in Cydia. Some
can input fake passcodes,
use the current time as a
passcode or even let you
lock individual folders
which may include sensitive
information. Your iPad can
now remain exceptionally
secure all the time.
A helpful developer
You can contact the developer
on Twitter or view the app
source code using the
options at the bottom of the
ScramblePass screen
4: A quick scramble
5: The source code
6: Scrambled keys
Tapping Scramble Buttons in the main settings

screen will let you quickly change the order of
the buttons when leaving your iPad.
The developer has also kindly left a View

Source option in the settings which lets you
see exactly how the app was built for the iPad.
Whether you choose the manual or automatic

option to scramble the keys, the end result is
still a very secure lock screen for your iPad.

Automatically switch off the passcode when
its not needed
App used: CleverPin
Price:
1.19/$1.99
iPad users tend to carry around all kinds of

important data on their devices, so having a
passcode is something of a necessary precaution.
There are times, however, when a passcode can be surplus
to requirements and so it can become a niggling annoyance,
especially if youre repeatedly performing quick tasks on your
device. CleverPin is an app that presents a solution to this by
making your iPad request your passcode intelligently. You can
have the app automatically disable the passcode whenever
youre on a trusted Wi-Fi network (ie at home). It can also switch
off the passcode when youre listening to music or when your
iPad is on charge. The app can also reactivate the passcode
after a preordained period of inactivity. By applying intelligent
passcode locking youre not actually jeopardising the security
of your device, youre simply being more selective in how its
being applied. Its the kind of tweak that you never knew you
wanted until you actually try it for yourself.
CleverPin Smartly secure your device
1: CleverPin settings

3: Select a network
CleverPin is not an actual app, but lives in the

Settings section on your iPad. Open Settings

Twitter trends
See what topics are trending without having to

App used: Daily Dash
Price:
Free
Jailbreaking brings with it a variety of tweaks and

additions to the iOS experience. Some of these are
focused on providing a practical function to your
device that may have been previously unavailable. Other
tweaks are more about making your iPad do something cool.
Daily Dash is a Cydia app that falls somewhere between both of
these ideals. Its sole function is to provide a list of the top three
trending Twitter topics in your area and place them directly on
your Lock screen. The app will make occasional updates with
regard to the listed topics and will also use your iPads location
data to pull in the relevant Twitter trends. At the moment, the
app will only display the top three trends; this appears to be a
choice of design rather than a limitation. Either way, Daily Dash
provides a quick and fun way to tap into the current trending
topics. The app is a free download and more information about
it can be found by visiting dailydashapp.com.

Add a flashlight to your

iPads Lock screen
A simple app that will add a convenient Lock-screen
flashlight to your iPad
App used: Lumos
Price:
Free
Lumos is a very simple solution, but its one that you

will likely use multiple times a day once you have
installed it and chosen your preferred settings. It
adds a simple icon to your Lock screen which you can tap to
enable a flashlight in those times when one would be very
handy or even crucial. You can choose the exact position of the
icon and also spend some time setting up the style and design
which lets you personalise the experience to your preferred
tastes. Remember that if you have other Lock screen apps
enabled on your iPad, the icon may not show up so dont panic
if this happens to you after setting up Lumos. You will need to
spend some time seeing what else is enabled and then disable
them to see where the clashes are happening, and then make a
decision as to which tool is the most important to you. This app
is, as we said, very simple and is designed to do just one thing
so you can set it up and forget about it. It actually offers a
feature Apple should have already built in.
Lumos Add a useful flashlight
1: Install the app
2: Locate the settings
3: Enable the app
Go to Cydia, tap the Search icon at the bottom

and then enter Lumos in the search field. The
app is free so simply download and install.
There is no home screen icon for Lumos so go

to Settings and scroll down until you see the

Customise your
iPad interface
Make a huge number of modifications to
your Home screen, folders and more
App used: Springtomize 3
Price:
1.77/$2.99
One of the main pleasures of jailbreaking is being

able to customise the interface to work the way
you want it, or to add new features before Apple
gets round to including them in iOS. The only fly in the
ointment is that the more tweaks you install, the greater the
chance of some of them not co-operating. That was surely a
consideration for the developers of Springtomize, which offers
more customisations than any other single app. In fact, this one
app can easily replace three or four other jailbreak tweaks. It
is a paid-for app, which means going through the usual Cydia
store process of confirming your identity before getting to the
checkout. Then you can change things such as the opening
animation speed of apps. Icons on the dock can be altered and
animated, or even shrunk to create more space. If you find there
is too much information in Control Centre, you can limit which
toggles appear. There are tweaks for everything, from icons,
pages and the status bar to the app slider and Lock screen.

Interact with notifications

as they arrive
Deal with notifications on the Home screen
or a custom-designed area
App used: Badger 7
Price:
0.99/$1.49
If youve ever used the notifications system and

thought to yourself, well, that could be better, then
you should pay heed to one of the latest jailbreak
tweaks to be updated for iOS. It might be that Badger 7
isnt actually any better than what you get from Apple, its
just different, but that might make all the difference to you.
Currently a notification arrives and is either dealt with as a
banner that fades away or a message that stays on the screen
demanding your attention. Then a badge counter is added to
the related apps icon so you can see something has happened,
which is useful if you missed it in the first place. Where Badger
comes in is that you can read and interact with the notification
without going into the app itself. You can read, reply, delete
or, if the sender has contact details on your phone, call back.
The other feature of Badger is that it collates all the recent
notifications from all apps into one handy screen so that they
can all be seen simultaneously.
Badger 7 Instantly respond to notifications
1: Find and confirm
2: Pay and install it
3: Configure the settings
Tap on Search in Cydia. Enter Badger7 and tap

Customise the Control

Centre in iOS
Add, remove and rearrange Control Centre
switches to tailor it to your needs
App used:
FlipControlCenter
Price:
Free
The Control Centre, activated by pulling up from

the bottom of the screen, is one of those great ideas
that Apple finally implemented after similar features
had been available in the jailbreak world for years. As usual,
though, it isnt customisable; you cant change the look or
what toggles are used and what order they are in. Thankfully,
renowned jailbreak programmer Ryan Petrichhas produced a
free tweak that lets you change things to your liking. A couple
of other packages offer similar benefits, but the one used here
is Ryans FlipControlCenter which is free from Cydia. The first
thing to note is that there are a lot more toggles available than
in the standard Control Centre. If you do a lot of jailbreak app
testing or Springboard customisation, then having a Respring
toggle is very useful, as is being able to turn Hotspot on and off
if you need to share your internet connection regularly. As well
as selecting new toggles, you can remove ones you dont want
and increase the overall number with extra rows and pages.
FlipControlCenter Add different toggles
1: Install the tweak
2: Into the Settings
3: What you dont want
Launch Cydia and tap Search, then type in

FlipControlCenter. Tap on Install and Confirm to
download, then Restart Springboard to reboot.
Theres no app icon, so open Settings and

scroll to FlipControlCenter. Tap this and then

Personalise your iPads

app folders
Power up your app folders to make them work the
way you want them to
App used: BetrFoldr
Price:
Free
iOS 7 introduced a new level of freedom with regard

to app folders and how they could be implemented.
Previously there was a limit to the number of apps
that could be placed in a folder. iOS 7 has no such limit. Despite
this, it was inevitable that the jailbreak community would crave
more flexibility. BetrFoldr is a tweak that offers a number of
simple but effective additions to what can be achieved with
folders. With the app installed you can now close a folder by
applying a pinch-to-close gesture on the display. From a visual
perspective you can also remove the frosted background
from each folder. This can be applied to the Home screen, the
zoomed-in folder view or both. With the right background in
place this can make for a more aesthetically pleasing screen.
With BetrFoldr you can also create folders within folders by
dragging one app on top of another within the same folder. It
can get a little fiddly but if you have various apps based around
a theme then its a great way of keeping everything organised.
BetrFoldr Tweak your app folder settings
1: Making folder changes
2: Enable nested folders
3: Clear folder background
To apply the changes go to Settings>BetrFoldrs.

From here you can toggle the required
combination of options as you see fit.
With this option you can create a new folder

within an existing one by simply dropping apps
on top of each other.
Activating Clear Background removes the blur

effect normally shown around apps in a folder,
adding clarity.
WorldMags.net
WorldMags.net
Work with
BetrFoldr
Going deeper
The beauty of the BetrFoldr
app is that you can create
folders within folders
and then some! There is
apparently no limit with
how deep you can go with
creating additional folders
within the sub-folders you
have already created, so you
can have all your apps on
one screen if you like.
A closer look at the

app in action
Clear backgrounds
With the clear folder background
option activated, the background
blurred effect is no longer visible. As
a result, your wallpaper wont lose its
impact any more
Naming nested folders

Its also possible to give your
nested folders different names
to help further organise your
apps. The folder naming
process is the same as normal
Nested folders
In this example we have created
folders within folders. You can
only create a nested folder by
combining two apps you
cannot drag one folder into
another to do so
Deeper nested folders

You can even create nested
folders within nested folders.
Unfortunately, these deeper
folders may appear invisible
from the upper levels
4: No wallpaper zoom
5: Clear folder icons
6: Applying clear folders
This is a subtle effect. When a folder is selected,

the wallpaper normally zooms in slightly. Use
this option to deactivate this feature.
The blurred folders of iOS 7 can have an

unwanted effect on wallpapers. With this
option the blurred effect can be deactivated.
Unlike the other options, you need to respring

the device to apply the clear folder effect. Use
the Respring option in the settings to do this.

Secure your data with an

extra safeguard
Add a password to protect specific apps and folders
on your device from potential snoopers
App used: Lockdown Pro 7
Price:
1.19/$1.99
The problem with Lock screen passcodes is that

they make accessing your iPad more cumbersome
than it needs to be. What you want is something
that balances security with speed of access and the best way
to get this is to use a system that only locks the things you
want kept secure. Got a folder full of important documents,
but dont want to lock up the rest of the phone? Want to keep
all those photos from the weekend private? Well you can with
the Lockdown Pro jailbreak tweak. You can also do something
even more sneaky hide apps from view and use an Activator
gesture to launch them. If an unwanted guest doesnt know the
app is there, they cant use it. You can also stop apps from being
moved around the screen or deleted and any app that is locked
wont broadcast using notifications. Another advantage is being
able to activate a lock after a set period of time. There are a
number of different versions of this app; just make sure you look
for Lockdown Pro for iOS 8 in the Cydia store.
Lockdown Pro Create custom passwords for apps
1: Get the right lock
2: Access the settings
3: Use letters instead
Search for Lockdown Pro in Cydia and tap the

entry for iOS8. Tap Install, authenticate and
purchase before downloading and installing.
Once downloaded, restart Springboard. Open

By default, the passcode system uses numbers.

However, if you also want to use letters, toggle
the Numeric Password setting to off.

One of the best features
of Lockdown Pro is the
versatility it provides in

other passwords in place for

App used: BytaFont 2
Price:

While iOS 8 actually has quite a range of fonts

available for developers to use, what you the
consumer gets is a lot more limited. Its not just that
its down to individual apps as to what fonts they use you
cant change the system fonts at all. Thats part of the attraction
of jailbreaking and using custom themes. Apply a new theme,
get a different look and a new system font. However, suppose
you like the iOS7 icons and simply want some new fonts? Enter
BytaFont 2. With this app you have access to a huge range of
new fonts on Cydia and can then install them as a system font
to replace everything. The clever part is that different fonts can
be assigned to different areas of the system something that
isnt possible without a jailbreak tweak. You can either find new
fonts in Cydia under the Fonts (BytaFont) category or install
BytaFont itself and tap on the Browse function. Fonts sourced
either way are installed into the system but arent active. Thats
where BytaFont works its magic.
BytaFont 2 Tailor system fonts to your liking

Fall asleep with your

favourite music
Stop your music playing after a set period
without touching anything
App used: Lullaby
Price:
0.61/$0.99
There will be times when you want to fall asleep to

your favourite music, but there is always the issue of
having to turn your iPad off before you actually drift
off. Lullaby is a tool which will get around this problem by
letting you set a pre-defined time for the music to play, at
which point it will stop automatically and you can sleep in
peace. It is not a standalone app, but instead resides within
another app called Activator. You can assign Lullaby to be
activated with any gesture or key press and with some careful
consideration, you should be able to avoid conflicts with any
other actions. It largely sits in the background until enabled and
we would advise manually setting it every time because it is
designed to not remember your setting after it has run once to
avoid confusion in the future. Lullaby is easy to use, almost
invisible in daily use and it is also extremely reliable so there is
no excuse not to be able to drift off to your favourite music
artists whenever you want to.
Lullaby Set a time limit
1: Buy the app
2: Manage the app
3: Open Activator
Go to Cydia and search for Lullaby. There is

only one app with this name so make your
purchase and let the installation process run.
If you have any problems with the app or

simply want to remove it later on, tap the
Modify option and follow the instructions.
Go to Settings and scroll down the list on the

left hand side until you find Activator. Tap it to

A reasonable
time period
When setting a time for
your music to play, try to be
reasonable and consider
how long it usually takes
you to fall asleep. Too long
and you waste battery and
too short a time will cut the
music early and likely wake
you from your slumber.

If Lullaby is not displayed in the
Activator list when assigning a

reinstall it to get it working
4: Choose an action
5: Choose Lullaby
6: Set a limit
Look through the options and find an action

that you would like to use. The At Home

When you have chosen an action, select

Lullaby from the bottom list and it will activate
whenever the gesture or button press is used.
