The Missing Credits
S teve Jobs revealed the original iPad on January 27, 2010, finally con-
firming rumors that had been swirling for years: Apple was making
a tablet computer! And when that first iPad model hit stores a few
months later, the public snapped up 300,000 the day it went on sale.
Less than a year later after the first one arrived, Apple put out an even bet-
ter iPad in March 2011. Thinner, lighter, faster, and equipped with a pair of
cameras, the iPad 2 created its own huge lines around the country when
it went on sale. Apple’s inventory pretty much sold out the first weekend.
So what’s the big deal? Tablet computers are nothing new. Tech companies
have tried the concept since the 1990s. But those flat slabs never caught
on for a variety of reasons. Some required input with an easy-to-lose stylus;
some had slow, unresponsive touchscreens; and some were so heavy it
felt like you were hauling around a patio flagstone that happened to run
Windows XP. Most of the public took one look and went: “Nah.”
So why has the iPad proven so popular, even as competitors rush to put
their own clunkier imitations out there, lurching for Apple’s thunder? One
theory: combine a growing desire for Internet access and a shift to digital
music, books, and video with a sophisticated, fast, lightweight touchscreen
device and you have a gadget perfectly suited to the emerging world of
personal media devices. Sure, the iPhone does all that, but you don’t have
to squint on the iPad. The iPad is both an evolution and a solution.
And thanks to the thousands of third-party apps already available, the iPad
can move beyond being just a platter that serves up media and Internet
content. In fact, it can pretty much be whatever you want it to be.
And come to think of it, that’s probably why it’s so popular.
How to Use This Book
The small card that Apple includes in each iPad box is enough to get your
tablet up and running, charged, and ready to play on the Internet. But you
probably want to know more about how the iPad works, all the great things it
can do, and where to find its coolest features. This book gives you more iPad
info than that wee card. It’s pre-printed for your convenience, neatly organized
by task and topic, and it has nice big color pictures.
About→These→Arrows
Throughout this book, and throughout the Missing Manual series, you’ll find
sentences like this one: “Open the View→Column Browser→On Top” menu.
That’s shorthand for a longer series of instructions that go something like
this: “Go to the menu bar in iTunes, click the View menu, select the Column
Browser submenu, and then slide over to the On Top entry.” Our shorthand
system keep things more snappy than these long, drawn-out instructions.
xvi Introduction
When you’re told to Ctrl+click something on a PC, or C-click something
on the Mac, you click while pressing the Ctrl or C key (both of which are
near the Space Bar). But this is an iPad book. You’ll tap more than click.
• Menus. The menus are the words at the top of your screen or window:
File, Edit, and so on. Click one to make a list of commands appear, as
though they’re written on a window shade you just pulled down.
• Keyboard shortcuts. Jumping up to menus in iTunes takes time. That’s
why you’ll find keyboard quickies that perform the same menu func-
tions sprinkled throughout the book—Windows shortcuts first, followed
by Mac shortcuts in parentheses, like this: “To quickly summon the
Preferences box, press Ctrl+comma (C-comma).”
If you’ve mastered this much information, you have all the technical back-
ground you need to enjoy iPad 2: The Missing Manual.

S ure, you’ve seen the concept of the iPad before. It’s a popular
prop on futuristic science-fiction shows like Star Trek: The Next
Generation: a flat slab of a computer, wirelessly connected to a net-
work that instantly pulls down any information you need, right then and
there. (In fact, in the Star Trek universe, that device was called a PADD, short
for Personal Access Display Device.)
But one thing those movie and TV gadgets never seemed to have is a
manual so you could find out things like, say, how to turn down the sound
when someone asks you a question during a heated game of Angry Birds,
or how to get back to the screen where your photos live.
Here on 21st-century Earth, these things may not be obvious for new iPad
owners, but that’s where this book comes in. In this chapter, you’ll learn
how to navigate your iPad so you can find the programs you want, jack it
into your computer to load it up with movies and photos, and make sure
you get it charged up for a full day of fun.
The science fiction is no longer fiction; the future is now.
Turn the iPad On and Off
Think of Apple’s iPod, iMac, and iPhone. In addition to starting with “i,” all
these products are sleek gadgets with a minimum of buttons to disrupt their
smooth skin. The iPad is no exception.
Run your finger along the iPad’s top edge and you’ll find a small black button
on the right (circled). It’s got a long name: On/Off, Sleep/Wake.
2 Chapter 1
Use the Mute/Lock and Volume Buttons
The buttons on the right edge of the iPad control the audio for movies, music,
and other apps that make noise. Here they are, from top to bottom:
➊ Side Switch. The small black
nub on the iPad’s right edge
does one of two things, and
it’s your call. Out of the box, Side Switch
the switch is a Mute button Volume up
that silences the iPad’s audio
Volume down
alerts when you slide it down
until you see an orange
dot. (Slide the button up to
restore your alerts.)
You may notice two other features on the iPad’s outer edges (no, sadly, neither is
a USB port or an SD card slot). The small hole in the center of the top edge is the
iPad’s microphone for Voice Memos, FaceTime, and other “listening” apps. And the
perforated patch on the back near the Dock Connector hides the iPad’s external
speaker (which many say sounds better than the original iPad’s).

Add Earbuds and Earphones
Want to listen privately on your iPad? Back in the old days, the only head-
phones you could get came with a cord attached, and those still work just
fine. But if you want to free yourself from wires while you lay back, relax, and
listen to a Bach cello suite, get a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones that
connect wirelessly to the Bluetooth chip inside your iPad. Then, your only
entanglement will be mind with music.
Here’s how you get either type of headphone to work on the iPad:
• Wired. Pretty much any pair of head-
phones or earbuds with the ubiquitous
3.5mm stereo plug fits the iPad’s head-
phone jack. (Why, yes, you can use the
familiar white earbuds from your iPod if
you want.) Just be sure to push the plug
firmly into the jack so it fully connects.
• Bluetooth. When you shop for stereo
Bluetooth headphones, look for those advertised as A2DP; they’re
designed to play back music in stereo. To get them to work, you need to
pair your headphones with the iPad. (Pairing means introducing two
Bluetooth devices so they can communicate with each other; you only
have to do this the first time you use the two devices together.)
The ‘phone manual tells you which
button to push on the headphones
to pair the two. As for the iPad,
start on the Home screen and tap
Settings→General→Bluetooth. Turn
Bluetooth on. The iPad looks around
and once it finds the ‘phones, it lists
them by name. If the headphones
require a passkey (listed in the
manual), the iPad keyboard appears so you can type it in. Once paired,
the iPad screen says Connected next to a headphones icon, and the
sound now plays over your wireless connection.
On some Bluetooth headsets, a small transceiver plugs into the iPad jack and
communicates with the ‘phones. If you have one of these, you don’t need to turn
on the iPad’s Bluetooth chip; the transceiver does the communicating for you.
Bouleversé par cette musique qui lui allait droit à l’âme, Isidore
prit la main de sa fiancée. Isabelle eut un sourire enchanteur et
tourna vers lui deux yeux sans fond.
