Organizing with folders

do apps—by dragging them around your Home screens or to the Dock.
Create a folder: Touch and hold an app until the Home screen icons begin to jiggle, then drag
an app onto another.

apps. To enter a different name, tap the name field.
Open a folder: Tap the folder. To close a folder, tap outside the folder or press the Home button .
Organize with folders: While arranging apps (the icons are jiggling):

Add an app to a folder: Drag the app onto the folder.

Remove an app from a folder: Open the folder if necessary, then drag the app out.

Delete a folder: Move all apps out of the folder. The folder is automatically deleted.

Rename a folder: Tap to open the folder, then tap the name and enter a new one.

When you finish, press the Home button .

Changing the wallpaper

You can customize both the Lock screen and the Home screen by choosing an image or photo
to use as wallpaper. Choose one of the supplied images, or a photo from your Camera Roll or
another album on iPad.
Change the wallpaper: Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper.

Typing

The onscreen keyboard lets you type when you need to enter text.

Entering text

Use the onscreen keyboard to enter text, such as contact information, mail, and web addresses.
Depending on the app and the language you’re using, the keyboard may correct misspellings,
predict what you’re typing, and even learn as you use it.

You can also use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to type. See

Enter text: Tap a text field to bring up the keyboard, then tap keys on the keyboard.
