Smartphone & Tablet Productivity

You may need to know what version of software or iOS is running on your iPad. You can determine the iOS version and if you need to update it by checking in Settings. This process works the same on the iPhone. This video is shown in iOS 6, but works the same in iOS 7. New video for iOS 7 coming soon!

It is quite easy to copy and paste text and images from one app to another on your iPad or iPhone. In this example we will copy text from a web page into a new e-mail message. This process is shown using an iPad, but the process will work the same on iPhone. This process of copying and pasting has not changed in iOS 7 (update)..

This video is only applicable to those who have NOT updated their iPhone/iPad to iOS 7 or 7.1 Please see additional videos for iOS 7 and higher. If you use folders to store e-mail, and you want to have instant access to e-mail stored in certain folders, you will want to take a look at your “Mail Folders to Push” settings. This process is the same on the iPad and iPhone.

This video is only applicable to those who have NOT updated their iPhone/iPad to iOS 7 or 7.1 Please see additional videos for iOS 7 and higher. By default your iPad/iPhone is set up to sync 3 days of mail. This means you can only see mail you received in the last 3 days in your inbox or any of your e-mail folders. You will want to change this setting. We recommend you use the maximum setting of “1 Month” so that you can see as many messages as possible in your inbox and folders. This process will work the same on iPad and iPhone.

By default the side switch (right side of iPad above volume controls) is used to mute your iPad. You can change a setting which will allow this switch to be used to lock the screen and preventing it from switching to portrait or landscape when you move your iPad. This can be helpful if you are viewing something on your iPad and you want to lay the iPad on a table. Sometimes the iPad will change from portrait to landscape mode (or vice versa) when you lay it on a flat surface. This video is shown on iPad with iOS 6, but works the same with iOS 7. New video for iOS 7 coming soon!
