Know which apps are running on your iPad. A good number of iPad apps are able to run seemingly in the background at the same time that you are otherwise engaged.

The apps which are currently running appear in the bar located low on your screen. Click the home button once or do a downward one finger swipe to close the bar.
Keep an eye on the apps currently running on your device. Many of the iPad’s apps can run in the background while you do other things. In order to view currently running applications, just click your Home button twice. A bar shows up near the bottom of the screen that will list currently active apps. After you have a chance to look through everything, simply swipe down and the bar will go away.
Your iPad is defaulted to show the first two lines of an email in preview. You may want to be able to see more content. Under Settings, tap on Mail. Open the mail tab in the settings app, then navigate to Contacts > Calendar. Once there, choose the number of lines to preview using the “preview mail” option.
You can change the default search engine to something besides Google if you wish. Simply navigate to Settings, Safari, and then Search Engine. You have the choice of switching the search engine to something more user-friendly if you would like.
