The iClouds Tabs is something you’ll want to pay attention to it if you use other Apple devices (like the iPad, iPod Touch , iPhoneor a Mac computer); your safari browsing is automatically sync—so if you are browsing a page on your iPad, you can pick up where you left off on your iPad.
The last button looks a plus sign.
If you use a computer, then you probably know all about Tabs. Tabs are kind of there. That’s what this button is. It let’s you have several windows open at the same time. When you press it, a new window appears; there’s an option to open a New Page; additionally, you can toggle between the pages you already have open. Hitting the red “x” will also close a page you have open. Hit done to go back to normal browsing.
Now that you know how to make a tablet call, let’s get back to the fun stuff! I’ll look at using the photo app next.
The camera app is on your Home screen, but you can also access it from your lock screen for quick, easy access. It’s in the bottom right corner of the screen; to access it, simply tap and hold the button and swipe up.
The camera app is pretty simple to use. First, you should know that the camera has two cameras (one on the front and one on the back).
The front camera has a lower resolution and is mostly used for self-portraits. To access it, tap the button in the top right corner (the one with the camera and two arrows). The bar on the bottom has all your camera modes. This is how you can switch from photo to video mode.
Editing your photos is just as easy as taking them; as simple as the editing tools are, they are quite powerful, but if you want more power, you can always download one of the hundreds of photo editing apps in the app store.
To edit a photo, tap the Photo icon on your Home screen.
When you launch Photos, you will see a tab with three buttons; right now, I’ll be talking about the Albums button, but we’ll talk about Photo Stream in the next chapter. Tap albums and let’s get editing!
Next, tap the photo you want to edited and then tap edit in the upper right corner. This will open the editing menu. On the bottom of the screen, you will see all the options: undo, auto correct (which corrects the color of the photo), red eye removal, and finally crop.
When you are satisfied with the changes, and then tap apply in the upper right corner.
Remember whenever you want to get to the previous screen just tap the back button in the upper left corner.
So now that your photo is taken and edited…now what? Let’s see how to share photos.
There are several ways to share photos. When you open a photo, you will see an option bar on the bottom. The older version had more options—these options have now been moved to one central place, which you will see next.
The first button lets you share the photo socially and to media devices..
The top row is more of the social options; the bottom row is more of the media options. AirPlay, for example, let’s you wirelessly send the photos if you have an Apple TV.
Finally, the last button lets you delete the photo, don’t worry about accidently deleting a photo, because it ask you to confirm if you want to delete the photo before you delete it.
Next, let’s go to the middle tab. ‘Photo Stream’ is sort of like ‘Flickr’; it lets you share your photos with your family and friends easily. To get ‘Photo Stream’, tap the ‘Shared button on the bottom of the photo app.
On the top left corner there is a “+” sign; tap that.
This brings up a menu that lets you create a shared directory. From there you can choose the name, who sees it and if it’s a public or private photo stream. To choose a person in your contacts tap the blue ‘+’ sign.
Once the album is created, tap the plus sign and tap on each photo you want to add, then hit done.
Once your family or friend accepts your Photo Stream invitation, you will automatically begin syncing your photos; anytime you add a photo to your album, they will receive a notification.
