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. If you use multiple iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) with your Apple ID, you may have trouble keeping the downloads for your devices separate. To ensure that you don’t automatically download items (apps, music and books) that you download on your personal device to your work iPad or iPhone, you can change a few settings.

You can use your voice to dictate text on the iPad. Dictation is available in any app that has a keyboard. You must say the punctuation while saying your sentence/paragraph when dictating text. Using dictation to compose e-mails and text messages can be a great time saver! If you have an older iPad (iPad 1 or iPad 2), dictation is not available. TTM recommends you download Dragon Dictation from the App Store for FREE. This video is shown on iPad with iOS 6, but works the same in iOS 7. New video for iOS 7 coming soon!

If you have multiple iDevices (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch), text messages will be delivered to all devices at the same time. You may not want to receive iMessages (text messages) on your iPad if you are with a customer. You can turn this setting off on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. This process is shown using an iPad, but works the same on iPhone.

On some Androids running Ice Cream Sandwich operating system you can create a signature for text messaging. This can be helpful if you text for business. You can insert a short signature at the end of all your text messages. The process may vary slightly depending on the Model of your Android phone, but this tutorial will point you in the right direction.
