00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:15.270
Whether you're new to the iPad, or you just
need a refresher, learning how to navigate

00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:17.650
iOS is a great place to start.

00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:21.340
In this video, I'm going to show you some
of the basics, including how to operate your

00:00:21.340 --> 00:00:24.380
device using multi-touch gestures.

00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:28.010
Let's begin with the Home screen, which is
the screen you see here.

00:00:28.010 --> 00:00:32.720
It includes shortcuts to all of your apps…
and several different screens to help you

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:34.110
stay organized.

00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:40.380
You can navigate between them using the swipe
gesture.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:44.940
There's also the dock at the bottom… and
the status bar at the top.

00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:50.230
Here, you can swipe down to view your notifications.

00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:54.670
Notifications can alert you to many different
things on your device, including new messages,

00:00:54.670 --> 00:00:56.890
emails, reminders, and more.

00:00:56.890 --> 00:01:00.300
To open a notification, tap the one you want.

00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:04.570
You'll be taken straight to the source—in
this case, the Calendar app.

00:01:04.570 --> 00:01:10.750
From here, it's easy to return home using
the Home button on the outside of your device.

00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:14.140
Keep this button in mind, because you're going
to use it pretty frequently.

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.560
After all, the Home screen is sort of like
the desktop on your home computer.

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.399
To open any app, all you have to do is tap
the icon.

00:01:21.399 --> 00:01:25.130
Why don't we try Safari?

00:01:25.130 --> 00:01:28.420
There's much more to iOS than simple taps
and swipes, though.

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:33.600
Here are some other gestures you can try to
get the most out of the iPad's powerful touchscreen.

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:39.750
Double-tap to zoom in or out in some applications.

00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:48.729
In other apps, you may find it easier to use
the pinch gesture.

00:01:48.729 --> 00:01:53.210
If you pinch with 4 or 5 fingers instead,
you'll get a different result.

00:01:53.210 --> 00:01:56.680
Try this gesture for quickly returning to
the Home screen without having to press the

00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.240
Home button.

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:04.399
To access the multitasking bar, swipe upward—again,
with 4 or 5 fingers, whichever feels more

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:05.399
comfortable.

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:10.840
Here, you can quickly navigate to any of your
most recent apps.

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.680
Finally, to switch between recent apps without
having to use the multitasking bar, swipe

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:24.670
left or right using 4 or 5 fingers.

00:02:24.670 --> 00:02:26.640
Let's go back to the Home screen.

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.330
There are certain settings that you might
want easy access to while using your device;

00:02:32.330 --> 00:02:35.080
for example, Bluetooth or wi-fi.

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:41.160
You'll find these things in the Control Center—just
swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen.

00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:45.640
Here you can adjust your screen brightness,
turn on airplane mode, and even set your device

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:47.240
to "do not disturb."

00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.130
This will temporarily silence any calls or
alerts you receive.

00:02:51.130 --> 00:02:55.880
To close the Control Center, swipe down again.

00:02:55.880 --> 00:02:59.440
The last thing I'd like to show you is how
to use the search feature.

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:03.190
This feature is great for finding apps, media,
and other items on your device that you're

00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:05.190
having trouble locating.

00:03:05.190 --> 00:03:10.440
All you have to do is swipe down anywhere
in the middle of the Home screen.

00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:13.790
Now type what you're looking for using the
on-screen keyboard.

00:03:13.790 --> 00:03:16.790
The keyboard appears any time you're in a
text field.

00:03:16.790 --> 00:03:21.030
It's even sensitive to what you might be typing,
and sometimes offers shortcuts; for example,

00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:24.710
a key that inserts ".com," if you're typing
a web address.

00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:29.840
To minimize the keyboard, just tap the key
in the bottom right corner.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.760
Now we can see the full list of search results.

00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:38.620
To navigate to the item you're looking for,
tap it on the list.

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:41.560
That covers the basics of iOS for the iPad.

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.340
Now that you know your way around, you can
start using your device, and taking advantage

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:46.790
of everything it has to offer.
