IPAD Tip: Closing Multiple Apps at Once From The Multitasking Bar

Jan 2

Posted by Noel Adams in Ipad Tips | No Comments

 

Have you tried to figure out how to close a app on your IPAD or even close out seveal apps at once.  Here is a little tip on how you can close out multipial apps at once with the new feature in ios5 called multi touch.  

Turns out, you can use multitouch to force quit multiple apps at once from the multitasking tray.

With the iOS device unlocked, double click on the Home button, then touch and hold the app icon until app icons in the multitasking bar begin to jiggle. You can tap on the  button on multiple app icons to force quit the apps in one go rather than doing it one app at a time.

Although it's difficult to hit all four fingers at the right spot simultaneously, even closing two apps at once is a lot quicker than quitting one app at a time. The maximum we could manage is quitting three apps at a time, using two thumbs and a finger.

IPAD Tip: Protect your New IPAD 2 with a Passcode

Dec 28

Posted by Noel Adams in Ipad Tips | No Comments

Since alot of people have gotten ipads/iphones for Christmas I felt that I should voice some suggestions on securing your ipad and protecting it from being stolen or broken.

The first thing to do with your ipad would be to put on a pass code lock, this may seem to be a nuiceance but it will prevent someone from stealing your data if it is stolen.  To do this follow the following steps:

 

Follow these simple steps to set-up Passcode Lock:

  1. Go into Settings
  2. Open General
  3. Scroll down and tap on Passcode Lock
    1. The default passcode in iOS is four digits — if you would like to set an alphanumeric passcode, slide the Simple Passcode toggle to Off
  4. Now, select Turn Passcode On
  5. Enter a four-digit passcode, or an alphanumeric passcode of any length
  6. Re-type your passcode to confirm
  7. Set Require Passcode to the desired time — this will be the amount of idle time before your iPad 2 will require you to enter the passcode
