The default email signature on the iPad says, ―Sent from my iPad.‖ It finds that to be a little boastful. To remove the Apple marketing and become like a real person, go into Settings and tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Find Signature in the fourth section down. Type whatever you wish.

Tips to Extend iPad Battery Life
It‘s claimed that iPad‘s battery life can support ―up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music‖. Here are some useful but not happy tips to help you use your iPad a lot longer without having to plug in all the time.
Turn off all apps and functions you don‘t use.
A lot of functions are turned on by default, so go to your settings and turn off everything you don‘t really use.
Live streaming and downloads
Live streaming videos like youtube and download stuff from sites will significantly drain your battery power. Wait until you can get to a place where you can plug in to do those
Screen Brightness
Turn down your screen brightness and lights. To do so go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpapers > Then drag the slide to the left.
Stay away from games
Don‘t play games if you know you‘re going to use your iPad battery power for something else more important. That‘s a battery killer.
Emails and Social Networks
You can check that facebook & twitter page later on your desktop or laptop. Oh, the emails. Do you have to check that now?
Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
But, no game, no Youtube, no Facebook, no Twitter, no email, why I use iPad?

Get Back a Deleted App
If you delete an app, either accidentally or because you don‘t think you will use it, you can
always get it back one of two ways.
Way 1:
If you have synced your iPad with iTunes since downloading the app, it will be in the Apps tab of your iPad‘s screen in iTunes. Just recheck the box for that app.
Way 2:
Without tethering to your computer, just find the app in the iTunes App store on the iPad and download it again. You will see a prompt that you have already bought this app and an option to re-install it without having to pay for it again. It is a little nerve-racking, especially if the app is an expensive one. But don‘t worry so long as you are sure that was the app you deleted.

Turn iPad caps lock on
You do this by double tapping the shift key on either side of the keyboard. This is on by default.
If you need to type a whole word in caps this can be painful. You control that in the Settings as
well. In Settings tap on General and Keyboard to find the item. Set Enable Caps Lock to ON.
Add Two More Apps in Dock
There are four default apps in your dock at the bottom of the iPad screen. But you can
actually add two more. As you would move any app to a new location or screen, tap and
hold one of the app icons till it starts dancing. Then move it on to the dock.
Easy/Quick Mute
Unlike the iPhone, there's no dedicated mute switch on the iPad. There you are, in the
back row of a funeral just minding your own business when, oops, you forgot to mute
those YouTube clips on your iPad! However, you can still cut the sound in a hurry if you
need to pretend you're doing something serious instead of watching the latest YouTube
viral.
Apple decided to make the volume buttons do double duty. Tap them repeatedly and the volume will go up or down. But if you press and hold the volume down button for about two seconds, then you get a quick mute.

Shut Down Your iPad For Real
When you press the power button on the iPad it really just turns off the screen. That‘s why
it comes on so fast. What you may want to do to conserve battery life or recover from a
freeze is do a reboot.
To do this just hold down both the power button and Home button until the red slider appears on the screen. Slide it and the iPad will shut down. Give it a minute and then you can restart it by pressing the power button again. It seems to take a few seconds before it responds so be patient. And, to force quit an application, just hold the home button by itself in a similar fashion.
