iPad All-in-One For Dummies, 5th Edition


Introduction

A

pple turned the computing world on its ear when it introduced the
iPad. This small wonder, which weighs less than a pound-and-a-half,
sold many millions of units in its first few years for good reason: It’s well
designed and feature rich, and it opens up a world of apps and media viewing in a highly portable format.

About This Book
iPad All-in-One For Dummies, 5th Edition, has one aim: to be the ultimate reference on the coolest digital device of the day. If you’re reasonably computer savvy, you can use this book to get up to speed quickly the day you
buy your iPad, and then you can pick up the book again anytime you feel
like taking your knowledge of the iPad to the next level. Even if you’ve been
puttering with your iPad for a while, you’ll still find things between these
covers that you didn’t know about.
Though the iPad is relatively simple to use, a lot is packed in there, and you
can get even more from it by downloading apps to do seemingly everything
under the sun. The book approaches the iPad from every angle: from the
basics to powerful road-warrior tools and from productivity apps to ultracool games and media.
You can read step-by-step instructions for basic tasks, hot tips for getting
the most out of iPad, and reviews of apps to steer you to the best of the best.

How This Book Is Organized

This book consists of easily read chunks of chapters that are organized into
six minibooks. Each minibook covers a different facet of using the iPad, such
as having fun or getting work done. Most material is relevant whether you
have an original iPad, iPad 2, iPad mini, or a third- or fourth- generation
iPad, though I strongly recommend that you update to iOS 6, which is quick
and easy to do (see Book I, Chapter 2), because it’s the operating system I
based this book on.
You don’t have to read the chapters in this book in sequence, but if you’re
new to iPad, consider starting with the basic concepts in Book I. The following sections give you a synopsis of the topics covered in each minibook.
