Keeping Your iPad Clean and Running Efficiently

iPads, just like any other mobile device, require a little maintenance to keep them in the best possible working condition. We have a few tips for you to help with maintaining your iPad.

• Keep the case on your iPad at all times to reduce the risk of incidents such as a cracked screen or damage to internal hardware.

• It is good to clean your iPad on a daily basis to remove dust and oils that occur from normal use. Never spray liquids directly onto your iPad. We suggest spraying a Windex/water mixture onto a cloth and wiping the screen.

• Keep iOS updated. Updates automatically pop up on your iPad and following the instructions for the update will allow your device to maximize its potential.

• Back up your iPad frequently, whether you back it up to iCloud or iTunes.

• Quitting opened apps is a way to save space and battery life on your iPad.
  • Double click the home button

• • Press and hold an app

• • When the red circles appear and the apps are shaking, close out of each one by pressing the red circle.

• Letting your iPad die once a week and then fully recharging it will help prolong the life of your battery.

• Rebooting your iPad can be very helpful and can help you fix many problems (apps crashing, iPad running slow). You can reboot the iPad by holding down the lock button and then swiping the bar across the screen when you are prompted. To turn the iPad back on you can hold down the lock button again.

• Be sure not to leave your iPad in conditions that will either freeze it or cause it to overheat (i.e. hot or cold cars, direct sunlight). Overheating or freezing of your iPad will cause damage to your battery life and in some cases, your internal components.
