are you serious ? i thought it was to refresh the content on your screen !

Here's one that's useful on the iPF app, as well as other places.

If you want to thin out your subscriptions folder, swipe right to left across threads in your subscribed threads and the red delete button will appear. Press the button to remove the thread from your subscriptions.

The same method can be used for removing songs, albums or artists from the Music app, deleting or archiving emails etc.

Good tip. Had no clue.

Do you have an app that is stuck, or behaving badly? Here's what to do. Apologies if this has been covered lately.

Double press the home button, which will reveal the multitask bar. Long press on any app in the multitask bar, and then press the minus sign that appears on each of them. Once you have closed them all, press the home button again to bring the screen back to normal. Once you have done this, it might not be a bad idea to reboot the iPad. Hold down sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, then release them and wait for the iPad to restart. This should sort out your problem apps.

To get back to normal screen just touch the top screen (I hardly ever use the home button now that touch does almost everything.)

I'm being lazy and supplying advice that works for the iPhone too. The four finger swipe up the screen opens the multitask bar too on the iPad.

Speaking of NEW. I hope this is not a stupid question but "Can you use the ipad to record music"? If I find a music sourse and I like the music that the station is playing, can I record the music that is coming out of my sound card? If I can do it, what do I need.
I thank all for reading and any sugg that I may get

In general, no you can't as far as I am aware however there are some radio apps that let you record the current broadcast.
