increase your typing speed and accuracy. Lock the screen orientation if you want to
keep the screen from rotating.

The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects using Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard
with iPad. See “Pairing Bluetooth Devices” on page 43.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPad, it connects whenever the keyboard is within

is activated automatically when you select a supported keyboard.

To see a list of supported languages, from Settings, choose General > International >
Keyboards.

iPad uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word you’re
typing. You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.

Using and Cleaning iPad
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.

Using iPad Comfortably

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.

Cleaning iPad
To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/ Wake
button, 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.

For security, you can set up a passcode that you must enter each time you turn on or
wake up iPad.
Set a passcode: Choose Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Turn Passcode On.
Enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter it again to verify it. iPad will require you to enter
the passcode to unlock it, or to display the passcode lock settings.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, which uses the passcode as the key for
encrypting mail messages and attachments stored on iPad. (Data protection may
also be used by some apps available in the App Store.) A notice at the bottom of the
Passcode Lock screen in Settings shows that data protection is enabled.
To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode (a four-digit number) and use a more
robust passcode that has a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and special
characters. For more information, see “Passcode Lock” on page 157.

About Photos
iPad lets you carry photos and videos with you so you can enjoy them wherever you
are. You can easily share them with family and friends, either directly on iPad, or on an
HDTV using AirPlay and Apple TV. You can even print photos from iPad using AirPrint.
If your iPad has a camera, you can view photos and videos as you take them. You can
sync photos and videos from your computer, import them from a digital camera or
iPhone, or save them from email or the web. Use them in apps, send them in email
messages, or upload them to your MobileMe Gallery. You can use iPad as a photo
frame that displays an animated slideshow of your images.

Syncing Photos and Videos with Your Computer

iPad supports standard photo formats such as JPEG, TIFF, GIF, and PNG. You use iTunes
to sync photos to iPad. When syncing photos to iPad, iTunes automatically creates a
size optimized for iPad, if necessary. See “Setting Up Syncing” on page 24.

iPad supports H.264 and MPEG-4 video formats, with AAC audio. You use iTunes to
sync videos taken with a digital camera, iPhone, or iPod touch (4th generation) to iPad.

Accessibility
21
In addition to the many features that make iPad easy to use for everyone, iPad includes
universal access features.

Universal Access Features

Universal access features make iPad easy to use for people who have a vision
impairment, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have a physical or learning disability.
The accessibility features on iPad include:
ÂÂ Support for playback of closed-captioned content
ÂÂ VoiceOver screen reader
ÂÂ Zoom magnification
ÂÂ White on Black
ÂÂ Large Text
ÂÂ Mono Audio
ÂÂ Speak Auto-text
ÂÂ Support for braille displays

Zoom, White on Black, and Mono Audio work with all apps. Large Text works with Mail
and Notes. VoiceOver works with the built-in iPad apps, and with some third-party
apps you can download from the App Store. Closed-captioning works with videos and
podcasts that support it.

For more information about the iPad accessibility features, go to

www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad.

You can turn individual accessibility features on or off in Accessibility settings on iPad.
You can also turn some accessibility features on or off in iTunes when you connect
iPad to your computer.

137
 Turn accessibility features on or off in iTunes:
1 Connect iPad to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPad in the sidebar.
3 In the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section.
4 Select the accessibility features you want to use and click OK.

The features you select are available immediately on iPad when you click OK.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPad without
seeing it.

VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as you select it. When you select
an element, a black rectangle encloses it (for the benefit of those who can see the
screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing rectangle
is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor.

Touch the screen or drag your fingers to hear different items on the screen. To interact
with items on the screen, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in
“VoiceOver Gestures” on page 140. When you select text, VoiceOver reads the text.
If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item. When you
select a control (such as a button or switch), VoiceOver provides instructions for you—
for example, “double-tap to open.”

When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and
speaks the first element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner).
VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait
orientation, and when the screen is locked or unlocked.

Note:  VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may

be influenced by the Region Locale setting. VoiceOver is available in many languages,
but not all.

138 Chapter 21    Accessibility

Setting Up VoiceOver
VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. Once you turn VoiceOver on,
you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPad—even to turn VoiceOver off again
and resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or off on iPad: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, then tap the VoiceOver On/Off switch.
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options
section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then
click OK.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-Click
Home” on page 150.

Note:  You cannot use VoiceOver and Full-screen Zoom at the same time.

VoiceOver Settings
You can set VoiceOver to give spoken hints, increase or decrease the speaking rate, or
give typing feedback.
Turn spoken hints on or off: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver,
then tap the Speak Hints On/Off switch. Spoken hints are turned on by default.
Set the VoiceOver speaking rate: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver, then adjust the Speaking Rate slider.

You can choose what kind of feedback you get when you type. You can set VoiceOver
to speak characters, words, both, or nothing. If you choose to hear both characters and
words, VoiceOver speaks each character as you type it, then speaks the whole word
when you enter a space or punctuation.
Choose typing feedback: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver >
Typing Feedback. You can choose Characters, Words, Characters and Words, or Nothing
for software keyboards and for Apple Wireless Keyboards.

Use phonetics In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
the Use Phonetics switch to turn it on.
Use this feature when you type or read character-by-character,
to help make clear which characters were spoken. When Use
Phonetics is turned on, Voiceover first speaks the character, then
speaks a word beginning with the character. For example, if you
type the character “f,” VoiceOver speaks “f,” and then a moment
later, “foxtrot.”
Use pitch change In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
the Use Pitch Change switch to turn it on.
VoiceOver uses a higher pitch when entering a letter, and a lower
pitch when deleting a letter. VoiceOver also uses a higher pitch
when speaking the first item of a group (such as a list or table)
and a lower pitch when speaking the last item of a group.

Chapter 21    Accessibility 139

 By default, VoiceOver uses the language that’s set for iPad. You can set a different
language for VoiceOver.
Change the language spoken by VoiceOver: In Settings, choose General >
International > Language, then select a language and tap OK.

Some languages may be influenced by the Region Local setting. In Settings, choose
General > International > Region Format, then select the format.
Set the rotor options for web browsing: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Web Rotor. Tap to select or deselect options. To change the position of an
item in the list, touch next to the item, then drag up or down.
Select the languages available in the Language rotor: In Settings, choose General
> Accessibility > VoiceOver > Language Rotor and tap to select the language or
languages you want to appear in the Language rotor. To change the position of a
language in the list, touch next to the language and drag up or down.
The Language rotor is always available when you’ve selected more than one language.

VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, it changes the gestures you use to control iPad, so that
you can hear descriptions without activating buttons. These VoiceOver gestures let you
move around the screen and control the individual elements that you select. Some
VoiceOver gestures use two, three, or four fingers to tap or flick. For best results when
using more than one finger, relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some
space between them.

There are many ways to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can two-finger tap
by using either two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can also use
your thumbs. Try different techniques to discover what works best for you.

If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tapping and
flicking gestures. To flick, try quickly brushing the screen with your finger or fingers.
Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button. Practice the gestures
described in “VoiceOver Settings,” below. When you finish practicing, tap Done.

Make single-finger flicking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.

140 Chapter 21    Accessibility

Here’s a summary of VoiceOver gestures:

Navigate and Read

ÂÂ Tap: Speak item.
ÂÂ Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
ÂÂ Flick up or down: The effect varies depending on the Rotor Control setting. See
“Using VoiceOver” on page 143.
ÂÂ Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
ÂÂ Two-finger flick up: Read all, from the top of the screen.
ÂÂ Two-finger flick down: Read all, from the current position.
ÂÂ Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
ÂÂ Three-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (for example, on the
Home screen or in Safari).
ÂÂ Three-finger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
ÂÂ Four-finger flick up or down: Go to the first or last element on a page.
ÂÂ Four-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous section (for example, on
a webpage).

Select and Activate

ÂÂ Double-tap: Activate selected item.
ÂÂ Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”):
Activate item.
ÂÂ Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your
finger, drag your finger to slide a switch.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping
and holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal
gestures are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger, then VoiceOver
gestures resume.
ÂÂ Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, or Photos. Start or stop
the stopwatch.
ÂÂ Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
ÂÂ Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

 Rotor Control
The rotor is a virtual control that acts like a physical dial when VoiceOver is turned
on. Use the rotor to change VoiceOver settings and to access additional commands
and features.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two fingers on the iPad screen to “turn” the dial and choose
items on the rotor. Flick up and down to use the selected item.
The effect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading
text in an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-
by-word, character-by-character, or line-by-line when you flick up or down. When you
browse a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word or
character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited
links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. You
can use the rotor setting to hear all of the text, or to jump from one element of a
certain type (such as headers or links) to another.

A

Appendix
iPad at Work
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft
Exchange, iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in
business go to www.apple.com/ipad/business.

Using Configuration Profiles

If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other
items on iPad by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles let your
administrator set up your iPad to use the information systems at your company, school,
or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPad to access
the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, so iPad can access your Exchange email,
calendars, and contacts.

A simple configuration profile can configure many different settings on iPad. For
example, a configuration profile can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certificates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A configuration profile may also turn on Passcode Lock, which requires you to create
and enter a passcode for using iPad.

Your administrator may distribute configuration profiles either by email, by putting them
on a secure webpage, or by installing them directly on iPad for you. Your administrator
may have you install a profile that ties your iPad to a mobile device management server,
which allows your administrator to configure your settings remotely.

Installing configuration profiles:

1 On iPad, open the email message or download the configuration profiles from the
website your administrator provides.
2 For each configuration profile, tap the profile, then tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information that’s requested.

Important:  You may be asked whether a configuration profile is trusted. If in doubt,

ask your administrator before installing the configuration profile.

171
 You can’t change the settings in a configuration profile. If you want to change settings,
you must first remove the configuration profile or install a new configuration profile
with the new settings.
Remove a profile: In Settings, choose General > Profile, then select the configuration
profile and tap Remove.
Removing a configuration profile deletes the settings and all other information
installed by the profile.

Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts

Microsoft Exchange provides email, contact, and calendar information that you can
automatically sync wirelessly to iPad. You can set up an Exchange account directly
on iPad.

Set up an Exchange account on iPad:

1 On the iPad Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
3 Tap Microsoft Exchange.
4 Enter your account information, then tap Save.
Your service provider or administrator can provide the account settings you need.
Exchange accounts: Enter your email address, domain (optional), user name, password,
and a description.
iPad supports Microsoft’s Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and
password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server address can’t
be determined, you’re asked to enter it. Once you connect to the Exchange server, you
may be prompted to change your passcode to meet server requirements.
5 When setting up a Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want to use on
iPad—mail, contacts, and calendars.

VPN Access
VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
networks, such as the network at your company or school. Use Network settings on iPad
to configure and turn on VPN. Ask your administrator what settings you should use.

VPN can also be set up automatically by a configuration profile. When VPN is set up
by a configuration profile, iPad may turn VPN on automatically whenever it’s needed.
For more information, see “Using Configuration Profiles” on page 171 or contact
your administrator.

172 Appendix A    iPad in the Enterprise

 LDAP and CardDAV Accounts
When you set up an LDAP account, you can view and search for contacts on your
company or organization’s LDAP server. The server appears as a new group in Contacts.
Because LDAP contacts aren’t downloaded to iPad, you must have an Internet
connection to view them. Check with your administrator for account settings and
other requirements (such as VPN).

When you set up a CardDAV account, your account contacts are synced with iPad over
the air. You may also be able to search for contacts on your company or organization’s
CardDAV server.

Set up an LDAP or CardDAV account:

1 In Settings, tap “Mail Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
2 Tap Other, then tap Add LDAP Account or Add CardDAV Account.
3 Enter your LDAP account information, then tap Next to verify the account.
4 Tap Save.

or play audio. To direct the content to iPad and disconnect iPad from the AirPlay
device, tap and select iPad in the list.
ÂÂ Some applications play only audio over AirPlay. If video isn't working, make sure that
the app you're using supports both audio and video.
ÂÂ If the Apple TV has been set up to require a passcode, you must enter it on iPad
when asked, in order to use AirPlay.
ÂÂ Make sure the speakers on the AirPlay device are turned on and turned up. If you’re
using an Apple TV, make sure the TV’s input source is set to Apple TV. Make sure the
volume control on iPad is turned up.
ÂÂ When iPad is streaming with AirPlay, it must remain connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If you take iPad out of range, playback stops.
ÂÂ Depending on the speed of your network, it may take 30 seconds or more for
playback to begin when using AirPlay.

For more information about AirPlay, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT4437.

186 Appendix C    Tips and Troubleshooting

No Image on TV or Projector Connected to iPad
When you connect iPad to a TV or projector, the attached display automatically mirrors
the iPad screen. Some apps may support using the attached display as a second
monitor. Check the app’s settings and documentation.
ÂÂ Go to Settings > Video and make sure the settings are correct for your TV or
projector. To view HD videos in high resolution, you must use a component video
cable or the Apple Digital AV Adapter.
ÂÂ Make sure the video cable is firmly connected at both ends, and that it’s a
supported cable. If iPad is connected to an A/V switchbox or receiver, try connecting
it directly to the TV or projector instead.
ÂÂ Make sure that your TV has the proper video input selected, such as HDMI or
component video.
ÂÂ If no video appears, press the Home button, disconnect and reconnect the cable,
and try again.

FaceTime
Can’t make or receive FaceTime calls
To use FaceTime, you must first activate it with your Apple ID. See Chapter 7, “FaceTime,”
on page 63.
ÂÂ Make sure the person calling you is using an email address that’s associated with
FaceTime. This is normally your Apple ID, but you can add other email addresses too.
See “Sign in to FaceTime:” on page 64.
ÂÂ To use FaceTime, iPad must be connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
ÂÂ When you make a FaceTime call, allow enough time for the connection to be
established, which may take many rings.

Improving FaceTime quality

For best results with FaceTime, try these tips:
ÂÂ If the video seems jerky or slow, make sure both you and the person you’re calling
are connected to the fastest Wi-Fi network available.
ÂÂ If your image is grainy, the camera needs more light. If the incoming image is grainy,
ask the caller to adjust their lighting.
ÂÂ Your image won’t fill the whole screen if you hold iPad in landscape orientation.
The person you’re talking with might also need to rotate their device to send you a
bigger image.

Appendix C    Tips and Troubleshooting 187

 iTunes Store and App Store
iTunes or App Store Isn’t Available
To use the iTunes Store or the App Store, iPad must have an Internet connection.
See “Connecting to the Internet” on page 29.

To purchase content from the iTunes Store or the App Store, you need an Apple ID.
You can set up an Apple ID on iPad. From the Home screen, choose Settings > Store >
Create New Apple ID. See “Store” on page 170.

You can also set up an account on your computer by opening iTunes and choosing
Store > Create Account.

Note:  The iTunes Store and the App Store aren’t available in some countries.

Restarting and Resetting iPad

If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPad, force quitting an app, or
resetting iPad.
Restart iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Force quit an app: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few
seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the
app quits.

If you can’t turn off iPad or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPad. This
should be done only if turning iPad off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same
time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

iPad Still Doesn’t Respond After Reset

ÂÂ Reset iPad settings. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset >
Reset All Settings. All your settings are reset, but your data and media aren’t deleted.
ÂÂ If that doesn’t work, erase all content on iPad. See “Resetting iPad” on page 162.
ÂÂ If that doesn’t work, restore the iPad software. See “Removing a Backup” on page 182.
