Use the Mute and Volume Buttons

Change text to:

The buttons on the right edge of the iPad control the audio for movies, music, and other apps that make noise. Here they are, from top to bottom:

➊ Mute. Need to turn off the audio immediately? Flip the Mute button down so that the orange dot shows. Slide the button up to restore your sound.

➋ Volume. Press the top half of this rocker-style switch to
increase the volume through the iPad's speaker or the earbuds
you may be wearing (see page 263). Press the bottom
half of the switch to lower the volume. The iPad displays a little volume graphic onscreen
so you can see where you are on the Relative Scale of Loudness.

The iPad's original software used the Mute switch to lock the screen in either the vertical or horizontal orientation. Now you lock the screen by double-clicking the Home button, swiping right-to-left in the panel of apps that appears, and tapping the Screen Orientation Lock icon PLEASE INSERT LOCK.TIF IMAGE HERE IN PARENTHESES, LIKE THIS: (LOCK.TIF IMAGE).

LOCK.TIF coming under separate cover.

PLEASE NOTE----→On the iPad photo on page 3, change blue callout from "Screen Lock" to "Mute".

Note from the Author or Editor:

Fixed - corrections will be in next printing

First paragraph, first sentence, inside parentheses:

Change the phrase "Screen Rotation Lock" to "Mute"

Note from the Author or Editor:

Fixed - corrections will be in next printing

Replace the last full paragraph and bullet list on the page with:

The Home button is also your ticket to switching among active apps, also known as multitasking. This means you can work in one app and switch easily to another without having to close the first app or take an interim trip through the Home screen. Just double-click the Home button to see a panel of apps appear at the bottom of the screen.

After you open the app panel, flick your finger along the icons and tap open a second app to switch to it. When you flick as far as you can from left to right in the panel, you see the Screen Orientation Lock icon, plus icons for adjusting the screen brightness and iPod playback controls.

You can force-quit a misbehaving app (like one that hangs up when you switch back to it) from the app panel, too. Just press and hold the app icon until the ? icon appears, and then tap that icon to close the app.

Note from the Author or Editor:

Fixed - corrections will be in next printing

Please add image apps_panel.tif; I will supply it under separate cover.

Replace note box text at the bottom of the page with:
Note: If your Home screen looks different or your Home button won't do shortcuts, odds are your iPad is running newer software. See Page 274 for more information.

Change blue subhead from "Add More Home Screens" to ""More Home Screen Tricks"

Kill Tip box at bottom of screen and replace it with the following graph, in regular, body-copy text:

If you filled all your Home screens with apps, you can regain some of that real estate by storing related apps (or any apps, for that matter) in folders, the electronic equivalent of a filing system. With the app icons wiggling, drag one icon onto another to automatically create a folder. Type in a name for the folder (like "Games") and drag more apps into it?up to 20 of 'em. To delete a folder, drag all the apps out of it.

Change "With the app icons wiggling, drag one..." to "Get the app icons wiggling as described above, and..."

Add Note box (move art up and reduce its size if necessary for fit.):

NOTE: While the iPad connects to your computer with its USB/Dock Connector cable, it lacks a USB port of its own, which would let you connect your iPad to other devices, like, oh, say, a printer. When Apple previewed iOS 4.2, it promised so-called AirPrint technology that would make wireless printing from the iPad a reality. Alas, the promise fell short when the update arrived. True, you can print wirelessly from your iPad?but only if you have an HP printer, and specifically a certain model of HP printer, like the Photosmart Plus e-AIO (D110) or the LaserJet Pro CP1525n. To see a full list of compatible printers and get instructions for using AirPrint with apps like Safari, Mail, and iWork, visit Apple?s support page at http://tinyurl.com/25tz3su. And hopefully, more printing options will arrive in future iOS updates.

Note: After this book originally went to press, Apple updated the iTunes software. Most of the images in this book show the more colorful iTunes 9, but iTunes 10 works almost identically-the most noticeable difference is iTunes 10's drab gray interface.

"The iPad screen is scratch-resistant, bit it could break ..."

Change bit to but

Tip: The iOS 4.2 iPad update allows multitasking-you can keep one app running while you switch to another. To do that, when you're in the first app, press the Home button twice, and then pick your next app from the on-screen list. Page 274 has more on updating to iOS 4.2.

Change text in Tip box to read:

If you haven?t updated your iPad to the iOS 4.2 operating system yet, you?re missing out on some treats. For example, when you search the iPad as described above, the updated OS looks in two additional places for your keyword: on the Web and on Wikipedia. Both options launch the Safari browser.

Should read:

So if you have a choice, which should you use, and when? In general, stick with Wi-Fi when you can. It's likely going to be faster. And remember, AT&T charges you to use its 3G network. You may not care if you're grandfathered into the old $30 unlimited access deal, but if you have the budget $15-a-month plan for 250 megabytes of data, you may be surprised at how quickly that 250 megs adds up (it's less than two hours of streaming mediocre-quality web video).

Add new sentence at end and change second-to-last graf to:

But here's where the pocket network does make sense: using it to get multiple devices online wherever you go. This could be a family of three WiFi iPads, an iPad and two laptops, and so on. The $40 monthly service fee covers everyone and is cheaper than buying individual 3G 'Pads and 3G service plans. (If you haven't bought your iPad yet, Verizon offers a special deal that includes an iPad, a MiFi, and lower data rates, starting at $20 a month for a gig of wireless data.)

Last sentence - add parenthesis, ie:

(though the 3G capability itself adds $130 to the iPad's cost).

(Make sure to keep the bullet) It should read:

2 Gigabytes/Unlimited. New iPad owners can download two gigabytes of data a month for $25 each month. But if you bought your iPad before June 7, 2010, you had the option of a $30-a-month unlimited data plan (see the note on page 40).

In Step 2, cut the parenthetical "(250 MB or Unlimited)" so it just reads "You also choose which plan you want and type in your credit card information."

Tip at the bottom of the page should read:

In early June 2010, AT&T suddenly changed its service offerings for iPads and iPhones to remove the Unlimited plan for monthly data use. While the 250 megabyte plan for iPad stayed the same, "Unlimited" was replaced by a very limited 2 gigabytes-a-month plan for $25. This move lead to at least one class-action lawsuit and a whole bunch of unhappy Netflix users with 3G iPads. AT&T also introduced a $20 tethering plan, which lets an iPhone act as a broadband modem for laptops and other devices. Alas, it doesn't currently work with iPads -unless there's some unauthorized hacking around on the gadgets.

"When you go to a web page, 'Pad-Safari behaves just like a desktop browser"

This needs to be reworked since it is only true if the page you go to does not employ Flash.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct that Safari doesn't handle Flash, but the page is just talking about how to work the browser buttons and controls, and isn't referring to Safari's content limitations --which are actually addressed later in the same chapter on page 60.

Still, in the interest of expectations, please change "'Pad-Safari behaves just like a desktop browser" to "'Pad-Safari behaves pretty much like a desktop browser."

Add Tip box to bottom of page (resize art if necessary) that reads:

TIP: That handy Google search box at the top-right of the Safari window above can do more than sniff around the Web for your search terms. When you tap in a keyword, it also shows you how many times the word appears on the current web page?which is really helpful if you?re wading through a screen full of text looking for that one relevant term.

Change text in first paragraph to read:

If Mozilla?s Firefox browser is your preferred window to the Web, you can still move those foxy favorites over to your iPad. Apps like Firefox Home or Sync Browser can help, but you can also do it the long way?by first importing your bookmarks from Firefox into Safari. This gets your bookmarks onto your tablet, but new bookmarks you add to Firefox on your iPad won?t get synced back to your desktop browser.

Add Tip box to bottom of page that reads:

TIP: Web-based email does a wonderful job of keeping messages from a single account at your fingertips, but how many people have just a single email account? With the iOS 4.2 update, you can manage all your email?from all your accounts--in one place. Set up your accounts as described on page 72, and then just tap ?All Inboxes? to see all your fresh messages at once.

Change "just tap "All Inboxes" to see all your fresh messages at once" to "just tap "All Inboxes" on your Mailbox screen to see all your messages at once."

Replace the Tip box text with:

Although it?s hard to change your own handwriting in a real pen-and-paper situation, the iPad?s Notes program gives you a choice of three fonts to hold your thoughts. To see your options or to change the current font, go to the Home screen and tap Settings ➝Notes. Here, you can choose from Chalkboard, Helvetica, or a font called Market Felt, which was the jaunty original (and, at that time, only) typeface Notes used.

Replace image with IPAD_p96_SUB.tif sub file to reflect new Current Location icon. Image coming under separate cover.

Replace top image with supplied IPAD_p98_top_SUB.ai sub file to reflect new Current Location icon. Image to be supplied under separate cover.

Put quote marks around the words: Selected books

In second sentence of Tip box, change ?450,000? to ?750,000? to reflect growth of Amazon?s Kindle Store

Reword first paragraph at top of page as follows:

The iPad can display books in either portrait or landscape mode (the latter shown across these two pages). When you tap the screen in either view, the iBook controls appear. Reading iBooks is probably the reason most people use the iPad?s Screen Orientation Lock (page 3). Turning on the lock (double-click the Home button to get to the Lock?s icon, which looks like a circular arrow) prevents the screen from automatically rotating (and giving you motion sickness) when you try to read in bed.

The bullet point should read:

The New York Times It's the full daily paper, but free only for a short time (the paper plans to charge for access in 2011). The app offers up the day's top stories in several categories, like Technology and Opinion. Tap a story summary to see it expand to the full screen.

Replace text in Tip box with:

If you love social gaming, tap the Game Center icon on the iPad?s Home screen (iOS 4.2 and later). Sign up for an account and Game Center matches you up with online opponents, tracks high scores, and more.

Small blue number 6 icon that corresponds to text on P. 159 is missing. Number should go under + sign on bottom edge of first piece of artwork on p. 159.

In last sentence, cut "productivity" to pull up short line below. In addition, if you can't fit the correction below, run the phrase, "No problem. Here's why:" into the first graf.

Then, in the graf right above "iWork by Email," add this sentence:

You can also copy your iWork files to your MobileMe account or to a WebDAV server (the latter so you can work collaboratively).

Should read:

The lower-right corner of iTunes is where the Genius controls hang out. When you have a song selected, click the whizzy electron-shaped icon to create an iTunes-generated Genius playlist based on that song. The boxed-arrow icon toggles the Ping Sidebar panel on (It's intended to get you talking about-and buying-music), and off (to leave you in peace).

Third paragraph should read:

You can listen to audiobooks anywhere, and here's the cool part: When you sync your iTunes-purchased audiobooks back and forth between your iPad and iTunes, they get bookmarked, so you can always pick up listening in the part of the recording where you left off on either your iPad or in iTunes.

In the second line, change the word Genius to Ping

Please replace the large graphic in the center of the page with substitute artwork: 0403a_largeSUB.tif

Page is out of date with the arrival of iTunes 10. Sub in updated page from Chapter 4 of iPod 9E. See IDD file IpodTMM9e_Ch 04 PAGE 4.IDD. The replacement page is the page numbered 81.

Tip: If you're searching for music in general, why not see what your pals are listening to? Ping, Apple's new social-networking service in iTunes 10, lets you create profile pages, follow your friends' musical tastes, and more; click the Ping icon under Store in the Source list or check out www.apple.com/itunes/ping for more info.

Change Tip box to:

Tip: Although you have intentionally created a duplicate of a song here, you may have other unintended dupes from home sharing, ripping the same album twice, or other accidental copying. To find these duplicates-and recover a little hard drive space-choose File>Display Duplicates. iTunes dutifully rounds up all the dupes in one window for you to inspect and possibly delete. Just make sure they are true duplicates, not, say, a studio and a live version of the same song. (To search for exact duplicates, hold down the Shift [Option] key and choose File>Display> Exact Duplicates.) Click the Show All button to return the window to your full collection.

In step 4, change file path in parens to:
(Home > Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music)

Nudge artwork down a few points if needed for fit.

Change text in Tip box to:

TIP: Multiple libraries can be a real help if you have a huge video collection that you want to store on an external hard drive to save space on your main computer.

Last paragraph, change last sentence to make it "iTunes Media folder":

Once you confirm everything is in the new library, trash your old iTunes Media folder and empty the Trash or Recycle Bin to reclaim those gigs of space.

Change text:

You can save lyrics with a song file just as you do album art. To add lyrics, either select a song in iTunes and press Ctrl+l(Command key+l) or right click the song ant click "Get Info" to call up the Get Info box. Then click the Lyrics tab.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change "ant" to "and"

First paragraph, third line:

Change "methds" to "methods"

Second bullet point, last sentence:

Change "(except for rented movies)" to "(except for rented videos)"

Replace text in Tip box with:

If you have a second-generation Apple TV or speakers connected to an AirPort Express Wi-Fi router, you can stream your photos, videos, and music to Apple TV and your tunes to AirPort-powered speakers. On your iPad, start up a video, slideshow, or playlist, tap the screen to call up the controls, and tap the square AirPlay icon. On the list that pops up, tap the playback device you want and then settle in.

Add two-line Tip box at bottom of page:

Another way to protect your iPad?from getting lost or stolen in this case?is to install Apple?s free Find My iPhone tracking program from the App Store.
