Good idea! I did this myself as its sounds obvious to me with all these posts asking for advice and really just looking at the settings gets you most of their answers. Is it just lazy and easier to ask?

I didn't know you could do so many tricks and hacks with the iPad. Definitely subscribing to this thread!

Hi, all. This Tips and Tricks thread is fantastic. My (business) partner and I just gave out new iPads as Christmas gifts to all of our employees (about 18) at our company last Friday night. We're a Microsoft-centric IT/VAR/Development shop, but are now having a great time playing with our new toys (we're not likely to move to Macs any time soon, but THIS is an Apple product we really like). We have to admit, MS has a long way to go to catch up with the iPad. I've just finished reading all 55 pages of this thread and copied out about 30+ tips to compile into a tips guide to give to our employees. Thanks for all the great info!

Wow! Definitely did not know the screenshot trick! Thanks!

I don't know which trick you've tried but you haven't inadvertently hit the switch for mute by any chance, small slide switch above your volume control? Also bring up your multi task bar by doing the 4 finger up swipe or double press the home button, then swipe to the right until you come to some controls. There is a sound control here also. If this doesn't work bring up the multi task bar again and close your app completely by long pressing it until a red minus sign appears, press this and it will close the app not delete it. Let us know how you go.

Hi guys. Ipad2 newbie here for two weeks now. I hope there is a tip or a trick on Yahoo Mail where i can download attached files and vice versa (attach files). Dropbox so far is the best answer for me around but this is quite not convenient with my clients for the latterproblem. Thanks.

Long tapping on a set of texts in the web browser will show the copy command and highlight the batch of texts (paragraph) you selected.

Waddayaknow i just found it while reading this thread!

Fantastic!

That's quite interesting. I look forward to seeing what you make of it.
