This video is only applicable to those who have NOT updated their iPhone/iPad to iOS 7 or 7.1 Please see additional videos for iOS 7 and higher. By default your iPad/iPhone is set up to sync 3 days of mail. This means you can only see mail you received in the last 3 days in your inbox or any of your e-mail folders. You will want to change this setting. We recommend you use the maximum setting of “1 Month” so that you can see as many messages as possible in your inbox and folders. This process will work the same on iPad and iPhone.

By default the side switch (right side of iPad above volume controls) is used to mute your iPad. You can change a setting which will allow this switch to be used to lock the screen and preventing it from switching to portrait or landscape when you move your iPad. This can be helpful if you are viewing something on your iPad and you want to lay the iPad on a table. Sometimes the iPad will change from portrait to landscape mode (or vice versa) when you lay it on a flat surface. This video is shown on iPad with iOS 6, but works the same with iOS 7. New video for iOS 7 coming soon!

When someone sends you a document via e-mail you will want to open and possibly save the attachment on your iPad. Depending on the type of document, you will have several options to open the document in an app or to “preview” the document. This video is shown on iPad with iOS 6, but it works the same on iOS 7. New video for iOS 7 coming soon!

In the update for iPad in late 2012, new gestures have been made available for your iPad. You can now use more than one finger to perform certain actions on your iPad. You will need to turn on “Multitasking Gestures” in Settings to be able to uses these gestures. This video is shown using iPad with iOS 6, but it works the same on iOS 7 and iOS 8.
