Music: This icon unleashes all the power of an iPod right on your iPad so you can listen to music or podcasts. You discover how the Music app works in Chapter 7.
Mail: This app lets you send and receive email with most POP3 and IMAP email systems and, if you work for a company that grants permission, Microsoft Exchange. Chapter 5 helps you start emailing from your iPad everyone you know.
Files: This app (if enabled in Settings ⇒ iCloud ⇒ iCloud Drive) contains all documents you’ve saved to your iCloud Drive. Apple apps as well as many third-party apps know how to use it.
Two last points:
Notifications keep getting better with the updated iPadOS. We wanted to mention them even though they don’t have an icon of their own. You hear much more about notifications in Chapter 12. To see them now (we know you can’t wait), swipe from the top of your screen to the middle to make them appear. Then swipe from the bottom to put them away again. This gesture works anytime — even when your iPad is locked. If it’s locked, you’ll see your most recent notifications when you swipe down. Then swipe up to see your older notifications.
We’d be remiss not to mention the even more useful Control Center, with controls for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio playback, and more, all available from any screen in any app. You discover much more about Control Center in Chapter 14, but if you can’t stand the suspense, put your finger in the top-right corner of your iPad screen and swipe down to check out Control Center (and then tap the Home button or swipe up from the bottom to put it away).
Chapter 2
iPad Basic Training
IN THIS CHAPTER
By now you know that the iPad you hold in your hands is very different from other computers.
You also know that the iPad is rewriting the rule book for mainstream computing. How so? For starters, iPads don’t come with a mouse or any other kind of pointing device. They lack traditional computing ports or connectors, such as USB. And they have no physical or built-in keyboard, though Apple will sell you a Smart Keyboard accessory for recent iPad models.
iPads even differ from other so-called tablet PCs, some of which feature a pen or stylus and let you write in digital ink. As we point out (pun intended) in Chapter 1, the iPad relies on an input device that you always have with you: your finger. Okay, some iPads can use Apple Pencil and other styluses, but what makes an iPad so powerful is that a stylus is optional.
Tablet computers of one form or another have been around since the last century. They just never captured the fancy of Main Street. Apple’s very own Newton, an ill-fated 1990s personal digital assistant, barely made a dent in the market.
Technology — not to mention Apple itself — has come a long way since Newton. And tablets — led by the iPad brigade, of course — promise to become ever more prevalent, useful, and important.
If you own an iPhone, you already have a gigantic start in figuring out how to master the iPad multitouch method of navigating the interface with your fingers. If you’ve been using iOS 13, you have an even bigger head start. You have our permission to skim the rest of this chapter, but we urge you to stick around anyway because some aspects of iPadOS work in subtly different ways than on the iPhone. If you’re a total novice, don’t fret. Nothing about multitouch is painful.
Getting Started on Getting Started
You can set up your iPad with or without a Mac or PC. In Chapter 3, we show you how to set it up with a computer. But first, we show you how to set up your iPad without a computer.
Now, here are the two things you need to use your iPad:
An Apple ID account: You’ll want an account to download content from iTunes and the App Store, and to take advantage of iCloud, including iCloud backups. Read Chapter 7 for details on how to set up an account. Like most things Apple, the process isn’t difficult.
Internet access: Your iPad can connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi or cellular (if you bought an iPad with cellular capabilities). With Wi-Fi you can connect your iPad to cyberspace in your home, office, school, favorite coffeehouse, bookstore, or numerous other spots. If your iPad has cellular capabilities, you can connect anywhere.
In addition, if you want to back up your iPad to your Mac or PC, you will need one of the following:
A Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15 or later; use Finder to sync
A Mac running macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 through macOS СКАЧАТЬ
