Some Tablets have been around a long
timeThe most popular tablet is the Apple
iPad but there are many others:

Android
Noun : (in science fiction) A robot
with a human appearance
A linux based operating system
designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such
as smartphones and tablet
computers. Initially developed by
Android, Inc., which Google
backed financially and later
bought in 2005.

iOS
iOS is Apple's mobile operating system
used for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
devices.
iOS utilises a multi-touch interface
where simple gestures are used to
operate the device, like swiping your
finger across the screen to move to the
next page or pinching your fingers to
zoom out.
Latest is iO6 with 7 due soon, and
possibly to coincide with the iPad 5.

How do tablets differ from a desktop PC or laptop
 Touch Screens
 Generally no keyboard or mouse
 A camera that takes photos and video
 Tablets connect to the Internet using either Wi-Fi or 3G technologies (3G is
what your mobile uses to connect virtually anywhere)
 Designed for media — ebooks, movies, and music — and for playing
games, browsing the Internet, or retrieving e-mail
 Limited Word-Processing and number crunching
 Typically use smartphone operating systems, so they work differently
 Tablets come in different sizes such as 7 inch or 10 inch
 Different resolutions
 Have their own processors (different from those used in laptops)
 Memory capacity will almost always be smaller than a laptop - ranges from
8GB to 64GB
 Their battery life is typically longer than most laptops

First things first
What’s in the Box?
 USB cable (for connecting to your computer
and the power adapter)
 USB power adapter (for charging the battery)
 Documentation (including warranty)
Care and protection

Setting up
Once it’s out the box you’ll need to set up your iPad:

 At the first screen it will simply say ‗iPad‘
 Swipe your finger to the right where it says ‗Slide to set
up‘.
 You might see other languages. Set up your language,
country and region and your wifi network with a password
 Whatever you choose in the next stage will need an
Apple ID

Help ….. I’m already confused!
We‘ll go back
to the basics
and discuss
some of the
jargon you
need to know
first of all.

Multi touch gestures
You use your finger to do things on the screen
 Tap to "click" or select something on the screen
 Sometimes you might tap and hold to access other options (think of
this as "right-clicking")
 Drag to scroll up and down, left or right, or any other direction on the
screen.
 Swipe left or right to flip through photos, pages in an e-book, pages
on the Home screen, and more
 Swipe left or right with 4 or 5 fingers to switch between open apps

Getting to know the interface
The iPad
comes with pre-
installed apps.
Apps are
applications
that make it
work.
This view
shows the
home screen.

Introduction to Apps
Apps are programs that are designed to run on your
device
They can be fun or serious
They can be a game, or something more essential (like
an
email client)
The iPad comes with 19 built-in apps that you can
access
immediately from the Home screen
They're a great place to start for new users because
there's
nothing to download or install
Many of these apps are ready to use right out of the box

What’s an Apple ID?
 If you've already turned on your iPad, you know that it's part of
the setup process – but you can add one later on as well
 In short, an Apple ID is a simple username and password
 It‘s free to set up but you may have to pay for items
 It's your identity on your device and your gateway to other
Apple services like the App Store, iCloud, itunes, the ibook
store and more
 The more you use your iPad, the more you'll understand how
important the Apple ID is
You’ll need an email address to set up an Apple ID

Create an Apple ID / Account
Tap Create Apple ID Select
country and accept terms and
conditions.
Select Billing type and enter
your details.
Enter
your
email
address,
security
questions
, birthday,
and
create
your
password
.
Note if you
select None
you won‘t be
charged until
you try to
make a
purchase.
You can also
buy a pre-paid
card instead of
using a credit
card. You can
pick the
amount you
want to spend
and enter the
code at
payment.

Verify Account details for Apple ID
Tap Sign In and you will see a
thankyou screen saying:
Thankyou for verifying your email
address
You have set up your account
successfully, and you can start
enjoying iTunes, iBooks, and the
App Store on your iPhone, iPad,
and iPod touch.

Using the App Store
The App Store gives you access to over 250,000 apps
You'll find everything from games, to entertainment, to apps for
cooking dinner, or keeping track of travel details
A lot of the content in the App Store costs money; however,
you'll still find thousands of apps and other resources that
you can download for free, or for as little as $0.99
How do you pay for content in the App Store?
You use your Apple ID!

Using the keyboard
As soon as you tap into a text box
the keyboard will appear

it the next time you turn on
your iPad, or wake it up from
sleep mode.

Setting up email on the iPad
Mail is probably one of the first apps you'll want to set up
on your device, and the mail app makes it much more
convenient.
Mail is compatible with Gmail, Hotmail, and most other
popular services. You can even add more than one
account to the app; for example, your personal email,
as well as your work email. That way, you can check all
of your email in one convenient place.

To Set Up Mail
General Settings
Email account
Gives you a choice
to select email service
Follow the
instructions to enter
your account
information. The
steps will be slightly
different for each
email service,

More communication apps
 Make free video calls using Facetime. It‘s similar to
Skype.
 Try the front and back camera. You can use the
front camera to talk face-to-face, then switch to the
back camera to show what's going on around you.
 Add your friends and family to your contacts. You
can't call people in FaceTime just by dialing their
number or entering their email address. They have to
be part of your contacts list first.

Twitter and Facebook
Twitter and Facebook
have their own mobile
apps for the iPad,
iPhone, and iPod
Touch. You don't even
have to go looking for
them in the App Store—
instead, you'll find
everything you need
under your
device's Settings.
Just navigate to each
app, then click Install to
get started. Once the
installation is finished,
the app will walk you
through the process of

Apps for everyday Tasks
• Safari for browsing the web
• Calendar for managing your schedule
• Reminders for staying on top of important tasks
• And other tools like Notes, Maps, and Passbook

Safari
Share the sites
If you‘re on a web
page you find
interesting and
want to share it,
you can.
One tap opens a
menu that lets you
email a link to the
page, tweet about
it, or post it on
Facebook.

Multi-Touch Zoom for Safari
Sometimes it can be difficult to read webpages in
the mobile version of Safari.
1. Double-tap to zoom in, which enlarges the page to
about 150% every time (perfect for reading small
text).
2. Use the pinch gesture, which gives you more
control over how large (or small) the page appears.

Maps
Feeling lost?
Maps can help you find your way with
simple turn-by-turn directions, and
live traffic updates.
Location Services
This is in General Settings > Privacy
Maps can use your location data to
give you directions from point A to
point B. Camera can use it to tag
your photos and videos to identify
where they were taken (sometimes
called geotagging). Apps like Twitter
and Facebook can also use this data
to share your whereabouts with your
friends.

Weather
Use the Weather app to check the
weather in your city.
It can be set to your current
location instead (this can be useful
if you do a lot of traveling).
You can add more than one city, so
you can keep track of the weather in
different parts of the world.

Clock
The Clock can be customized to
show you the time in different
parts of the world.
It also has an alarm, stopwatch,
and timer.
If you have Siri on your device,
try asking Siri to set an alarm or
a timer for you, instead of
opening the app.

Camera and Photos
 You can take photos and videos with your
iPad.
 It's designed to work closely with the
Photos app, which lets you view, organise,
and edit the media you've captured.
 If you have one of the newer models, you
can even take advantage of your device's
front and back camera to photograph
what's in front of you, or take a self portrait
instead.

Zooming in and out
To zoom in or out in the Camera
app, use the pinch gesture. This
option is great for taking close-up
photos when you can't get close
enough to your subject.
To take a screenshot press the
Home button and the
Sleep/Wake button at the same
time. This will take a photo on
screen – lots of these images
have been sourced that way.

Getting to know Photos
When you take a
photo it automatically
gets saved in Photos.
You can create
albums and drag
photos into those
albums.
Share button

Editing Photos
To access the editing options, tap Edit while viewing a
photo in full-screen mode.
 Rotate
 Enhance
 Remove red-eye
 Crop
Remember to Tap SAVE

Media and Entertainment
iTunes for downloading music, movies, TV
shows, and more
Videos for watching movies, TV shows, and
other visual content
Music for listening to music and other audio
content
And other tools like Game Center,
Newsstand, and iBooks

Siri
Firstly go to Settings to turn Siri on > General > Siri > On
To activate hold down the HOME button for a few
seconds

Using Siri
After Siri has opened, you simply speak your command in a normal conversational manner and she will
(usually) have an intelligent response.
If you are requesting Siri to send a message (email or text/iMessage) to someone, she will show you a
draft of the message before it is sent. To go ahead and send the message, just say ―Send‖ or touch the
―Send‖ button.
Some examples of things you can say to Siri may be:
Maps
―Where can I get a slice of pizza nearby?‖
―How far away is Como?‖
Phone
―Call my wife.‖
Reminders
―Remind me to quit my job when I get to work tomorrow‖
―On October 3 remind me that my dad‘s birthday is next week.‖
Weather
―What is the weather supposed to be like for this weekend?‖
Social Media
―Post to Facebook, ―I love my iPad‖
Sports
―What is the score of the West Coast Collingwood game?‖
