My Old iPod/iPhone Dock Stuff
Bad news, we couldn’t the iPad to work with some of our old iPod /iPhone dock stuff. Obviously, it wouldn’t fit in some, but in others it just gave us a warning that the product wasn’t made for the iPad. We even tried hooking it up to our car stereo via the dock connection. Maybe a software update will allow us to dock in the future.
Copy and Paste Photos Instead of Sharing
You can only email five pictures from the Photo app using the Email button. You can copy far more and paste them into the Mail app. Need to send 15 pictures? Copy and paste them from the Photo app into a Mail document.
Create Your Own Wallpaper
iPad wallpaper images should be 1024×768, or you can just use this super rad one. To assign your image to your home screen background or lock screen, launch the Photo app.
Tap to enlarge the image you want to use. Tap on the share button. Tap Use as Wallpaper. Resize the image to your liking and tap Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen or Set Both. Just transfer photos to ipad and have a try.
Reinstall Misbehaving Apps
If an app is still acting wonky, even after a hard reset, it’s a good idea to reinstall it. Make sure you have a copy of the app on the computer you sync you iPad to. On the iPad hold down on the app until it gets the jiggles. Click the X that appears above it and delete it. Sync your iPad and be sure to include the offending app. Unless the app is just buggy by design, you should be good to go.
Picture Frame
Got an iPad dock? Now your iPad can be one of those picture frames you give to your mom. While the iPad is locked, click on the white flower for the slideshow to begin.
You can adjust the photo settings in Settings>Picture Frame.

Tap Home to Get Home
Press the Home button while on navigating your Home screens to return to the main Home screen. Tap it again to get to the search page.
Bookmarks Bar Always On
If you’re a slave to bookmarks bar, having it on all the time is a life saver.
To leave the bookmarks bar on all the time while surfing with Safari.Go to Settings>Safari there you’ll see Always Show Bookmarks Bar. Turn it on.
Six in the Dock
Apple kept showing off the iPad with four app in the dock. You can actually put six down there. Tap and hold on an app until the apps jiggle, then drag two of your favorite apps down. That’s it.
Rearrange Your Search Results
When doing a global search on the iPad, the default results display is to put contacts first. If you’d rather have apps or songs or even podcasts first, you can adjust the results by navigating to Settings>General>Home>Search Results. Tap and hold on the three light grey bars to the right of an item, then drag it up and down to suit your needs.
Find My iPad
If you’re afraid you might misplace your rather large iPad. Grab yourself a MobileMe account and turn on Find My iPad. It’s actually off by default so to turn it on. Navigate to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your MobileMe account. There you go, just turn it on.

Incase Magazine Jacket for iPad 2

 

When the iPad 2 first came out there weren’t many available cases for owners to buy because Apple had kept information about its dimensions and specs under tight control to ensure the hype didn’t die down. At the time of the iPad 2 debut, only the Apple Smart Cover was available to offer some degree of protection of the tablet. In the weeks that followed the release of the iPad 2, I’m sure Apple made a few cool million dollars just from Smart Cover sales alone.

 

However, iPad 2 owners now have many choices to protect their beloved Apple tablets. And the jacket can helps you enjoying songs, movies well, you just need to upload movies to ipad 2, transfer pictures to ipad. And, to be fair, Apple’s iPad 2 Smart Cover doesn’t include a portrait stand.

 

Construction

 

The Incase Magazine Jacket offers the iPad 2 protection through hybrid elements. It has a front flap similar to the Smart Cover, without the magnets. It has a hard back to encase the iPad 2 with full exposure on the top and bottom of the tablet (easy access to the power button, headphone jack, and sync port). The speaker and the volume and mute buttons are exposed on the side and bottom corner.

 

The back case also has an elastic band which can be used to keep the front flap securely covered as needed. The back also has two plastic notches to catch the flap in order to turn the Magazine Jacket into a stand for better viewing angles.

 

Similar to the Smart Cover, the front flap can be manipulated to tilt the iPad 2 into a comfortable typing position.

 

Conclusion

 

I’ve been using the Incase Magazine Jacket for several weeks now and found it a good compromise between design, style, and practicality. It’s not a beautiful or stylish case, but has the professional folio appearance. It more than adequately does the job of protecting the iPad 2, as well as offer the flexibility of multiple viewing angles.

 

If the front flap had microfiber lining to buff the screen when closed and a magnet to enable the instant-on feature — both features of the Smart Cover — then it would be a great case for $50.

Once on the iPad, photo sharing is great. With just a tap, neat little stacks of thumbnails bloom into a full screen of images, which you can shuffle through by simply swiping your finger. You can view photos by albums, events, faces and places, assuming you have assigned photos to these categories in iPhoto before transfer. It’s a perfect photo album. If you just want to know how to transfer photos from ipad to computer, follow this guide.

 

The good news is that Apple offers a Camera Connection Kit that enables you to easily add photos via an SD card adapter and a cable that can be used with most digital cameras. (Read well: you can only use an SD memory card with the adapter.)The bad news? The Camera Connection Kit lacks two important capabilities that you’d assume would be included in a $30 add-on (they always get you with the accessories).

 

And it’s overpriced at $30. I suggest that Apple offer the SD card connector and the camera cord as separate $15 products. You really only need one or the other, depending on your preferences.

 

Have a lot of pictures and wanna transfer pictures to iPad without iTunes? With the third party software's help, I think it’s the best combination.
