You can easily access all running apps on an iPad. Just double-click the Home button, and all the apps that are running will display at the bottom of the screen. If you want to bring up that app, just tap its icon on the bar. When you’re done, swipe the screen downwards to hide the bar.
Server Address
You will be using VPN networks if you are trying to get in contact with remote servers. You can connect to VPN connections using the iPad by navigating to Network, which is located under Settings, and turning on VPN. Before establishing a VPN connection, you will need to provide credentials such as a username or server address. If you are not sure what the server address is, you should contact the person who administrate the VPN network.
Which apps are running? A lot of iPad apps are designed to run as background processes. If you want to know which apps are currently active, all you need to do quickly tap the home button two times in succession. The apps currently running will appear in a bar at the bottom of your screen. Swipe in the down direction to hide the bar when you’ve finished.
Is there anything more annoying than accidentally launching a seriously noisy app? Mute the volume quick by pressing and then holding your volume down button. Do this until you can’t hear anything. If you need a mute button, change your settings so your lock orientation button becomes a mute button.
Tablet typing isn’t simple. A simple way to enter text is to use the speech dictation function. Push Home twice and then hit the microphone. Once you finish, hit that microphone once more and you will see in text what you have spoken aloud.

Because iPads are expensive, it is a good idea to care for them properly. Get a screen protection if you plan on transporting your iPad. These are thin plastic and give heightened protection to the screen area of the iPad. To keep your iPad looking like new, use a damp soft cloth to wipe off the front and back. Never use window cleaners or other types of household cleaners on your iPad.
