Lesson One: iPad basics
Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to: • Know how to turn on an iPad
• Navigate on an iPad
Using and cleaning iPad
It’s important to find a comfortable posture when using iPad, and to take frequent breaks. Use your lap, or a table, case, or dock accessory, to support iPad during use.
Handle iPad with care, to maintain its appearance. If you’re concerned about scratching or abrasion of the screen, you can use a case or a cover, sold separately.
To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia,
or abrasives to clean iPad. The iPad screen has an oleophobic coating; simply wipe the screen with a soft,
lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.
Identify your iPad model
Find out which iPad model you have.
Use the model number to find out which model iPad you have. You can find the model number in two ways:
Look on the back of your iPad.
Open Settings and tap About. Look for the model number in the top section. If the number you see has a slash "/", that's the part number (for example, MY3K2LL/A). Tap the part number to reveal the model
number, which has a letter followed by four numbers and no slash (for example, A2342).
Turn on and set up iPad
Turn on and set up your new iPad over an internet connection. You can also set up iPad by connecting it to your computer. If you have another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or an Android device, you can transfer your data to your new iPad.
Prepare for setup
To make setup as smooth as possible, have the following items available:
• An internet connection through a Wi-Fi network (you may need the name and password of the network) or cellular data service through a carrier (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)
• Your Apple ID and password; if you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one during setup • Your credit or debit card account information, if you want to add a card to Apple Pay during setup • Your previous iPad or a backup of your device, if you’re transferring your data to your new device • Your Android device, if you’re transferring your Android content
Turn on and set up your iPad
1. Press and hold the top button until the Apple logo appears. Looking at the back of the upper portion of iPad with a callout pointing to the top button on the top edge in the upper-left corner.
2. If iPad doesn’t turn on, you might need to charge the battery. Do one of the following:
• Tap Set Up Manually, then follow the onscreen setup instructions. If you have another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11, iPadOS 13, or later, you can use Quick Start to automatically set up your new device. Bring the two devices close together, then follow the onscreen instructions to securely copy many of your settings, preferences, and iCloud Keychain. You can then restore the rest of your data and content to your new device from your iCloud backup.
• Or, if both devices have iOS 12.4, iPadOS 13, or later, you can transfer all your data wirelessly from your previous device to your new one. Keep your devices near each other and plugged into power until the migration process is complete.
• You can also transfer your data using a wired connection between your devices. See Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
• If you’re blind or have low vision, click the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button) or triple-click the top button (on other iPad models) to turn on VoiceOver, the screen reader. You can also double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn on Zoom.
Move from an Android device to iPad
When you first set up your new iPad, you can automatically and securely move your data from an Android device.
Note: You can use the Move to iOS app only when you first set up iPad. If you already finished setup and want to use Move to iOS, you must erase your iPad and start over, or move your data manually. See the Apple Support article Move content manually from your Android device to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
On your device with Android version 4.0 or later, see the Apple Support article Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and download the Move to iOS app.
On your iPad, do the following: 1. Follow the setup assistant.
2. On the Apps & Data screen, tap Move Data from Android. On the Android device, do the following:
1. Turn on Wi-Fi.
2. Open the Move to iOS app. 3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Battery
iPad has an internal, lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Lithium-ion technology currently provides the best performance for your device. Compared with traditional battery technology, lithium-ion batteries are lighter, charge faster, last longer, and have a higher power density for more battery life.
To charge your iPad battery, do one of the following:
• Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and power adapter.
Note: Connecting iPad to a power outlet can start an iCloud backup or wireless computer syncing.
If your Mac or PC doesn’t provide enough power to charge iPad, a Not Charging message appears in the status bar.
Note: Don’t try to charge your iPad by connecting it to your keyboard, unless your keyboard has a high-power
USB port.
The battery icon in the top-right corner of the status bar shows the battery level or charging status. When you’re syncing or using iPad, it may take longer to charge the battery.
Important: If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off, the iPad battery may drain instead of charge.
Look for on the battery icon to make sure iPad is charging.
If iPad is very low on power, it may display an image of a nearly depleted battery, indicating that it needs to charge for up to 10 minutes before you can use it. If iPad is extremely low on power when you begin to charge it, the display may be blank for up to 2 minutes before the low-battery image appears.

Siri
Siri is a useful feature that comes with all current versions of the iPad. Sometimes referred to as a virtual assistant, it can help you with all kinds of things. For example, you can use Siri to send messages, schedule meetings, and search for nearby restaurants. Powered by the sound of your voice rather than gestures or your keyboard, Siri can understand and respond to complex requests like Remind me that I have a doctor's
appointment on the 18th or What's the weather like today?
Ask Siri on iPad
Talking to Siri is a quick way to get things done. Ask Siri to translate a phrase, set a timer, find a location, report on the weather, and more. The more you use Siri, the better it knows what you need.
To use Siri, iPad must be connected to the internet. Cellular charges may apply.
Set up Siri
If you didn’t set up Siri when you first set up your iPad, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then do any of the following:
• If you want to summon Siri with your voice: Turn on Listen for “Hey Siri.”
• If you want to summon Siri with a button: Turn on Press Home for Siri (on an iPad with a Home button) or Press Top Button for Siri (on other iPad models).
Summon Siri with your voice
When you summon Siri with your voice, Siri responds out loud. 1. Say “Hey Siri,” then ask Siri a question or to do a task for you.
For example, say something like “Hey Siri, how’s the weather today?” or “Hey Siri, set an alarm for 8 a.m.” 2. To ask Siri another question or to do another task, say “Hey Siri” again or tap .
Note: To prevent iPad from responding to “Hey Siri,” place your iPad face down, or go to Settings > Siri & Search, then turn off Listen for “Hey Siri.”
You can also say “Hey Siri” to summon Siri while wearing AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, or AirPods (2nd generation).
Summon Siri with a button
When you summon Siri with a button and iPad is muted, Siri responds silently. Do one of the following:
• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the Home button. • On other iPad models: Press and hold the top button.
1. When Siri appears, ask Siri a question or to do a task for you.
For example, say something like “What’s 18 percent of 225?” or “Set the timer for 3 minutes.” 2. To ask Siri another question or to do another task, tap .
You can also summon Siri with a touch on AirPods. Make a correction if Siri misunderstands you
• Rephrase your request: Tap , then say your request in a different way.
• Spell out part of your request: Tap , then repeat your request by spelling out any words that Siri didn’t understand. For example, say “Call,” then spell the person’s name.
• Change a message before sending it: Say “Change it.”
• Edit your request with text: If you see your request onscreen, you can edit it. Tap the request, then use the onscreen keyboard.
Type instead of speaking to Siri
1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Siri, then turn on Type to Siri.
2. To make a request, summon Siri, then use the keyboard and text field to ask Siri a question or to do a task for you.
Find out what Siri can do on iPad
Use Siri on iPad to get information and perform tasks. Siri and its response appear on top of what you’re currently doing, allowing you to refer to information onscreen.
Siri is interactive. When Siri displays a web link, you can tap it to see more information in your default web browser. When the onscreen response from Siri includes buttons or controls, you can tap them to take further action. And you can tap Siri again to ask another question or do an additional task for you.
• Find answers to your questions: Say something like “Hey Siri, what causes a rainbow,” “Hey Siri, what does a cat sound like,” “Hey Siri, what was the score of the Orioles game yesterday,” or “Hey Siri, what’s the derivative of cosine x?”
• Perform tasks with apps on iPad: Use Siri to control apps with your voice. For example, to create an event in Calendar, say something like “Hey Siri, set up a meeting with Gordon at 9,” or to add an item to Reminders, say something like “Hey Siri, add zucchini and garlic to my groceries list.”
• Hear about your day: Say something like “Hey Siri, what’s my update?” Siri will tell you about your weather, news, reminders, calendar events, and more.
• Answer calls: Siri can identify a FaceTime caller and let you answer the call with only your voice. • Send and reply to messages: Say something like “Hey Siri, send a message to Eliza saying how about
tomorrow” or “Hey Siri, reply that’s great news.” You can even use Siri to send audio messages. If you connect your AirPods (AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, and AirPods 2nd generation) to your iPad and a message arrives, Siri can read the message to you, even if your iPad is locked. Siri listens after reading messages so you can reply without saying “Hey Siri.”
Translate languages: Say something like “Hey Siri, how do you say Thank You in Mandarin?” or “Hey Siri, what
• Play a radio station: Say something like “Hey Siri, play Wild 94.9” or “Hey Siri, tune into ESPN Radio.” • Let Siri show you more examples: Say something like “Hey Siri, what can you do?”
Keyboard features
The iPad's virtual keyboard includes several features that make typing on your device faster and easier.
Suggestions
The iPad will offer suggestions for certain words as you type. When typing, simply tap the spacebar to use a suggestion. In the example below, we used the suggestion to change agreem to agreement. To dismiss a suggestion, just ignore the suggestion and continue typing.
Auto-Correction
While it's a powerful feature, Auto-Correction isn't perfect. And because it happens automatically, you may not always notice when something is changed. You should always review your text to make sure it's correct.
Spell check
In addition to Auto-Correction, the iPad will note spelling errors as you type. Any misspelled words will be underlined in red. To view possible suggestions for a spelling error, tap the word. A list of possible spellings will appear. Simply tap a suggestion to replace the existing word.
Moving the cursor
Sometimes you may find that you want to edit something at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph. Instead of deleting the existing text and starting over, you can move the cursor to the desired location. To move the cursor, simply tap the desired location. If you need more control, press and hold the screen, then (without lifting your finger) drag the magnifying glass to choose a location for the cursor.
To copy and paste text:
If you want to move text from one location to another, you can copy and paste it. This is especially helpful if you want to move text among different apps. For example, you might find some useful information in Safari and then copy and paste it into the Notesapp.
1. First, you'll need to select the text you want to copy. Double-tap the screen next to the text you want to select, then drag the selection handles to select the text.
2. Menu options will appear above the selected text, including Cut, Copy, and Paste. We'll tap Copy.
The copied text will appear.
More keyboard tips
The keyboard has many other features that aren't immediately obvious. We've listed some of the most helpful ones below.
1. Screen orientation: You can rotate the iPad to change the size of the keyboard. The keyboard will use
about half of the screen in landscape mode and about a quarter of the screen in portrait mode. 2. Alternate characters: You can press and hold certain letters and symbols to add accents or alternate
characters.
3. Undo button: Instead of deleting text manually, you can use the Undobutton. Just tap
the Number button, then select Undo.
4. Slide and type: If you only need to insert one number or special character, press and hold
the Number button, then select the desired character without removing your finger from the screen.
Keyboard settings
If you want even more control over the keyboard, you can customize its settings. To do this, open Settings, tap General and then tap Keyboard.
The keyboard settings will appear. From here, you can turn certain keyboard features (like Auto-Correction) on and off, add another keyboard language, create custom text shortcuts, and much more. Take some time to explore these settings to see if any will be helpful for you.
In order to use the iPad, you must set it up the first time you use it. After the first time, you will not have to go through this procedure again unless you reset it back to the way it came from the factory. To set up iPad, turn it on and follow the Setup Assistant. The onscreen directions in Setup Assistant step you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or creating a free Apple ID, entering a passcode, setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain, and turning on recommended features, such as Location Services and Find My iPad.
During setup, you can copy your apps, settings, and content from another iPad by restoring from an iCloud backup or from iTunes.

To edit sound settings:
1. Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen. 2. Tap Sounds in the left pane.
3. Customize the sound settings as desired. For example, you can choose a new ringtone for the FaceTime app or a new alert tone for email messages. Take some time to test different sounds and settings to find the ones you like best.
You can also use your iPad's side switch to mute or unmute all sounds.
Notifications
Notifications are pop-ups, banners, and other audio and visual cues that work with the apps on your device. They're designed to let you know when something needs your attention, or when there's been any recent activity (for example, on Facebook).
Notifications behave differently in each app, but they all have one thing in common: They can help you keep up with everyday tasks and responsibilities. You can receive notifications three ways:
1. As an alert (pop-up or banner) 2. As a badge on the app icon itself
By default, the Notification Center shows you your Recent alerts, starting with your newest at the top. From the Recent notifications screen, you can swipe right to access notifications for Today. This includes any events on your calendar, top new stories, weather, and more.
Clearing notifications
Notifications will remain in the Notification Center until they are dismissed or cleared. To clear a notification, tap the X, then press Clear.
Customizing the Notification Center
It's easy to customize the Notification Center to suit your needs. For example, you can turn certain views on and off and select which apps to include in the
Notification Center. You can also customize other notifications for individual apps, like sounds and badges.
To customize the Notification Center:
1. Tap the Settings icon on your Home screen. 2. Tap Notifications in the left pane.

Installing and managing apps
Even if you're new to the iPad, you've probably heard of apps. The concept is simple: Apps are programs that are designed to run on your device. The iPad comes with several built-in apps, but you can download more from the App Store. The iPad also makes it easy to manage the apps on your device.
The App Store
The App Store gives you access to hundreds of thousands of apps. You'll find everything from games to entertainment to productivity tools—even apps that can help you with common tasks like studying for an exam, cooking dinner, or keeping track of travel plans.
There are thousands of apps you can download for free. Many other apps cost as little as $0.99, although some may be more expensive. If you're not sure which apps to try first, the App Store can help by giving you recommendations or showing you what's popular with other iPad users.
Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about the App Store interface.
You'll need an Apple ID and valid credit card to purchase apps from the App Store (including free apps).
Browsing the App Store
When you first visit the App Store, you'll see a variety of new apps and games you can browse. If you're looking for something more specific, you can tap the Apps button and navigate to the desired category.
Within each category, a list of popular apps will appear. Each app will note its price (or it will say Get if it's free). Simply tap an app to learn more about it. The app page will appear with information on how the app works, user reviews, screenshots, and more.
Multitask with Picture in Picture on iPad
With Picture in Picture, you can use FaceTime or watch a video while you use other apps. When using FaceTime or watching a video, tap or press the Home
button (on an iPad with a Home button).

• Hide the video window: Drag it off the left or right edge of the screen. • Close the video window: Tap .
• Return to a full FaceTime or video screen: Tap in the small video window.
Open two items in Split View on iPad
Open two different apps, or two windows from the same app, by splitting the screen into resizable views. For example, open Messages and Maps at the same time in Split View. Or open two Messages windows in Split View and manage two conversations at the same time.
Open a second item in Split View
1. While using an app, swipe up from the bottom edge and pause to reveal the Dock.
2. Touch and hold an app in the Dock, drag it to the right or left edge of the screen, then lift your finger. If two items are already open in Split View, drag over the item you want to replace.
To give both views equal space, drag the divider to the center of the screen.
Close Split View
Drag the app divider to the left or right edge of the screen, depending on which app you want to close.
Turn Split View into Slide Over
Swipe down from the top of the smaller view.
Open an app in Slide Over on iPad
You can use an app that slides in front of another app or in front of itself. For example, open Messages in Slide Over to carry on a conversation while using Maps.
Open another app in Slide Over
1. While using an app, swipe up from the bottom edge and pause to reveal the Dock. 2. Touch and hold an app in the Dock, then drag it above the Dock.
If an app is already open in Slide Over, it’s replaced by the app you drag from the Dock.
To open a third app in Slide Over when the screen is in Split View (on supported models), drag the app from the Dock to the Split View divider.
Switch between apps in Slide Over
Swipe right along the bottom of the Slide Over window, or do the following: 1. Swipe up from the bottom of the Slide Over window.
2. Tap the app you want to view, if it’s visible. If you don’t see it, swipe right through the apps.

• Remove the Slide Over window: Drag the top of the window off the right edge of the screen.
• Move the Slide Over window back onto the screen: From any open app, swipe left from the right edge of the screen.
Background App Refresh
The iPad also uses a feature called Background App Refresh to update certain apps in the background, which can have a small effect on your battery life. If you prefer, you can turn off Background App Refresh for some or all of your apps. To modify these options, open Settings, tap General, then select Background App Refresh.
Managing apps
The Home screen contains an icon for every app on your device. This means it can get pretty crowded, especially if you've installed a lot of apps from the App Store. Here are some tips to customize your Home screen so your favorite apps are always easy to find.
1. Rearrange your icons by touching and holding any app on the Home screen. When the icons begin to
shake, drag and drop them wherever you want (even on or off the Dock). To move an icon to another screen, drag it to the left or right edge and hold until it switches to the new screen. When you're done, press the Home button to make the icons stop shaking.
2. If you're on the last page of apps, you can create an additional Home screen by dragging an icon to the far right edge. When you're done, press the Home button.
3. Create a folder by dragging one icon on top of another. To add more icons to the folder, keep dragging
and dropping the ones you want. This is a great way to organize similar apps and remove clutter from your Home screen. When you're done, press the Home button.
4. Search for apps by swiping right from the middle of the Home screen. A search box will appear at the
top of the screen. Start typing the name of the desired app, and any apps matching your search will appear (along with other files and settings on your iPad).
5. Delete apps by pressing and holding any app on the Home screen, then tapping the X in the top-left
Updating apps
Over time, many apps receive updates from the app's developer. Updates usually help an app run more smoothly and may even introduce new features.
By default, your iPad will automatically download these updates. However, you can turn this feature off if you would prefer to manually update your apps. If automatic updates are turned off, a notification badge will appear on the App Store icon whenever an update is available for any of your installed apps.
To change your automatic update settings:
If you prefer, you can set all updates to install automatically. 1. Open Settings from the Home screen.
To manually update an app:
1. Open the App Store, then tap Updates.
2. A list of available updates will appear. To update an app, tap Update. You can also tap Update All to install all available updates.
Move items with drag and drop on iPad
With drag and drop, you can use a finger to move text and items within an app and copy items from one app to another. For example, you can drag an image from Notes into an email. (Not all third-party apps support drag and drop.)
Move an item
1. Touch and hold the item until it lifts up (if it’s text, select it first). 2. Drag it to another location within the app.
Copy an item between open apps
1. Open two items in Split View or in Slide Over, then touch and hold the item until it lifts up (if it’s text, select it first).
2. Drag it to the other app.
As you drag, appears wherever you can drop the item. If you drag to the bottom or top of a long document, the document automatically scrolls.
Tip: If you want to drag the item to a new note or email, open the new note or email first so you can drag the
item directly to it.
Drag a link to a Split View or Slide Over window
Touch and hold the link until it lifts up, then do one of the following:
• Replace a Split View or Slide Over window with the link’s destination: Drag the link to the window. • Open the link’s destination in a Split View or Slide Over window: When there is no Split View or Slide
Over window showing, drag the link to the left or right edge of the screen to open the destination in Split View, or drag the link close to the edge to open in Slide Over.
Copy an item to an app on the Home Screen or in the Dock
1. Touch and hold the item until it lifts up (if it’s text, select it first).
2. While you continue to hold the item, use another finger to swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and pause to reveal the Dock or press the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button).
3. Drag the item over the other app to open it (a ghost image of the item appears under your finger as you drag).
You can drag over items in the app to navigate to where you want to drop the item (as you drag, appears wherever you can drop the item). For example, you can drag over the notes list to open the note where you want to drop the item, or you can use another finger to open a new note where you can drop the item.
If you change your mind about moving an item, lift your finger before dragging, or drag the item off the screen. Select multiple items to move
1. Touch and hold the first selected item, drag it slightly, and continue holding it.
2. While still holding the first item, tap additional items with another finger. A badge indicates the number of selected items.
3. Drag all of the items together.

You can navigate in Safari using keyboard shortcuts on an external keyboard. To view available keyboard shortcuts, press and hold the Command key.
Using the Mail app
Mail is probably one of the first apps you'll want to set up on your iPad. You can use it to view and send emails,
reply to messages, and manage your inbox—all the things you're used to doing with your email account. The first time you open the Mail app, you'll need to connect it with an existing email address. Select your email provider, then follow the instructions to connect your account with the Mail app. When you're done, you'll be able to send and receive emails from that account on your iPad.
Adding another email account
If you use more than one email account—for example, one for personal email and one for work email—you can add multiple accounts to the Mail app. This allows you to manage all of your messages in the same place. To add another email account, open Settings from the Home screen, tap Passwords & Accounts in the left pane, then select Add Account. Follow the instructions to connect the new account.
Email notifications
When you receive a new email, a badge will appear on the app icon. The number indicates how many unread
emails are in your inbox. This allows you to quickly see if you have new messages without opening the Mail
app.
You can customize your alerts by opening Settings, tapping Notification Center, then choosing Mail. Swipe gestures
The Mail app includes several convenient tools to manage your inbox, including foldersand flags. You can also swipe a message to the left for the option to archive or delete, reply, forward, and more.
Customizing the email signature
By default, every email you send will include the words Sent from my iPad at the bottom of the message. This is the default email signature for the Mail app. If you'd like to customize or remove the email signature, open Settings from the Home screen, tap Mail in the left pane, then select Signature.
Messages
Using the Messages app
The Messages app can be used to send instant messages to your contacts. If your friends also use Apple devices, like a Mac or an iPhone, the iMessage feature allows you to send unlimited text messages, photos, videos, and more to these users.
Setting up messages
To use the Messages app, you'll need to set up iCloud on your device. You can review our lesson on syncing your iPad to learn how.
Message notifications
If you receive a new message when you're not in the Messages app, the iPad will notify you in a few ways. By default, you should receive a banner alert at the top of the screen and a badge on the app icon to show the number of unread messages.
You can customize your alerts by opening Settings, tapping Notification Center, then choosing Messages. Read receipts
Read receipts tell other people when you've read their messages. Read receipts don't appear on your device— they appear on your friends' devices instead, so they can see exactly when you've read their messages. If your friends have read receipts turned on, you can also see when they've viewed your messages. In our example below, we can see that the recipient read our text message at 9:34 a.m.
While many people find read receipts helpful, others may prefer not to share this information.
To enable or disable read receipts on your device, open Settings, then tap Messages in the left pane. Turn read receipts on or off, depending on your preference.
Calendar
You can use the Calendar app to manage your schedule by adding meetings, appointments, and other events. It's easy to create and edit events and appointments as needed. The app comes with several helpful features, including alerts for important events.
Calendar alerts
If you want to be reminded about a certain event, you can set an event alert. For example, you could an create an alert to sound 10 minutes before an event begins. To set an event alert or add other event details, tap the event, then tap Edit. You can also edit these details when creating the event.
Adding new calendars
You may want to create separate calendars for different types of events. For example, you could create a calendar for work and one for your personal schedule. Each calendar will be assigned its own color so you can quickly view different events at a glance.
To create a new calendar, tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen, tap Edit, then select Add Calendar.
Syncing other calendars
If you already have a calendar with another service—for example, Google, Yahoo!, or Outlook.com—you can sync it with the Calendar app. This allows you to view and edit all of your calendars directly from your iPad. To add a new calendar, open Settings from the Home screen, tap Passwords & Accounts in the left pane, and select Add Account. Follow the instructions to connect the new account.
In our experience, syncing calendars from other services may not work perfectly. For example, if you have multiple calendars tied to one Google account (for work, school, or other activities), they may not all sync to your iPad. If you use this feature, we recommend paying close attention to your calendars to make sure they're syncing correctly. You can also review this article if you need additional help.
Creating events from other apps
The iPad will try to intelligently guess when certain text refers to an event. For example, if someone sends you a message that says Wanna see a movie tomorrow at 7:00?, the words tomorrow at 7:00 will be underlined. Tap the underlined words to create an event.
