Multi-Touch screen
A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to use iPad and its apps.
Sleep/Wake button
You can lock iPad and put it to sleep when you’re not using it. Locking iPad puts the display to
sleep, saves the battery, and prevents anything from happening if you touch the screen. You still

the volume.
Sleep/Wake
button
Sleep/Wake

with data protection on page 42.
Turn iPad on. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Turn iPad o. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the slider appears

On iPad models with Touch ID, you can use the sensor in the Home button, instead of using your
passcode or Apple ID password, to unlock iPad or make purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store,
and iBooks Store. See Touch ID on page 43. You can also use the Touch ID sensor for authentication
when using Apple Pay to make a purchase from within an app. See Apple Pay on page 40.
Volume buttons and the Side Switch
Use the Volume buttons to adjust the volume of songs and other media, and of alerts and sound
eects. Use the Side Switch to silence audio alerts and notications or to prevent iPad from

Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and les between iPad and your other iOS devices and computers,
using either iCloud or iTunes.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. It all
gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to
date. See iCloud on page 16.
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPad. Changes
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to
copy a le to iPad for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPad to your
computer. See Sync with iTunes on page 19, next.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use
iCloud Photo Stream to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your
devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPad.
Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
You can also choose to manually manage content from iTunes by selecting that option in the
iPad Summary pane. Then you can drag songs or videos from your iTunes library to iPad in
iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can t on your iPad.
Note: If you use iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.
Connect iPad to your computer
Connecting iPad to your computer lets you sync content using iTunes. You can also sync with
iTunes wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes, above.
To use iPad with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, or a PC with a USB 2.0 port, and one of the following
operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service
Pack 3 or later
iTunes, available at www.itunes.com/download/
Connect iPad to your computer. Use the included Lightning to USB Cable or 30-pin to
USB Cable.
Chapter 2 Get started 19

group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family members
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
conrm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPad without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor
(a rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your nger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the
item and provide instructions—for example, double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 130 .
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item
on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in Settings > General > Language & Region.
VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
VoiceOver basics
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPad. When VoiceOver is on, you
must use VoiceOver gestures—even to turn VoiceOver o.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects, and additional
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures
include two-, three-, and four-nger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-nger gestures,
relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use dierent techniques to enter a particular VoiceOver gesture. For example, you can
perform a two-nger tap using two ngers on one hand, or one nger on each hand. You can
even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and
double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one nger, then tap the screen with another nger.
Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the
screen quickly with your nger or ngers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures
without aecting iPad or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
Tap: Select and speak the item.
Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.
Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 131.

Two-nger swipe down: Read all from the current position.
Two-nger tap: Stop or resume speaking.
Two-nger scrub: Move two ngers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to dismiss
an alert or go back to the previous screen.
Three-nger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
Three-nger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen, for example).
Three-nger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text
is selected.

Appendix A Accessibility 141
Hearing aids
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids (compatible with iPad 4th generation or later and
iPad mini), you can use iPad to adjust their settings, stream audio, or use iPad as a remote mic.
Pair with iPad. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, you need to pair them with iPad. To start, open the battery door on each hearing aid. Next,
on iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go to Settings >
General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your hearing aids and wait
until their name appears in the list of devices (this could take a minute). When the name appears,
tap it and respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is nished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to
the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream
audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is nished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each
time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPad.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on
page 127. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPad.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids,
then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:
Check hearing aid battery status.
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
Control Live Listen.
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Siri, Music, Videos, and more by choosing
your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPad as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPad to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations by
positioning iPad nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing Aids,
then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids with more
than one iOS device (both an iPhone and iPad, for example), the connection for your hearing
aids automatically switches from one to the other when you do something that generates audio
on the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing
aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS devices. To take advantage
of this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed in to iCloud using the
same Apple ID.
Mono audio and balance
Mono Audio combines the sound from the left and right channels into a mono signal played on
both channels. This way you can hear everything with either ear, or through both ears with one
channel set louder.
Turn Mono Audio on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio.
Adjust the balance. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then drag the Left Right Stereo
Balance slider.
Appendix A Accessibility 142
Subtitles and closed captions
The Videos app includes an Alternate Track button you can tap to choose subtitles and
captions oered by the video youre watching. Standard subtitles and captions are usually listed,
but if you prefer special accessible captions, such as subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
(SDH), you can set iPad to list them instead, if they’re available.
Prefer accessible subtitles and closed captions for the hard of hearing in the list of available
subtitles and captions. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning, then
turn on Closed Captions + SDH. This also turns on subtitles and captions in the Videos app.
Choose from available subtitles and captions. Tap while watching a video.

With Siri, you can do things like opening apps just by asking, and VoiceOver can read Siri
responses to you. For information, see Use Siri on page 47.
Widescreen keyboards
All built-in iPad apps show a larger onscreen keyboard when you rotate iPad to landscape view.
You can also type using an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Guided Access
Guided Access helps an iPad user stay focused on a task. Guided Access dedicates iPad to a
single app, and lets you control which app features are available. Use Guided Access to:
Temporarily restrict iPad to a particular app
Disable areas of the screen that arent relevant to a task, or areas where an accidental gesture
might cause a distraction
Limit how long someone can use an app
Disable the iPad hardware buttons
Use Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:

Touch ID (if enabled).
Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPad using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of several
methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even free-hand
drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the screen, and
then use the same (or dierent) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location.
Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights dierent items on the screen until you select one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple
switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu
appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specic action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen
items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specic needs
and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
The iPad screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
The iPad FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as
two switches: one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your
head to the right.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Appendix A Accessibility 144
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPad before it will appear in the
list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects using
Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPad—turn on the switch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the
switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see Bluetooth devices on
page 40.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 127.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item is highlighted (item scanning) or
under the crosshairs (point scanning).
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that
appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on whether you use
Auto Tap.
With Auto Tap o: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at the bottom). If youre in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears.
To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see
additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple
switches, you can set one up specically for tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the
Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the control menu,
trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips
the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an
item with Auto Tap on, just wait for the Auto Tap interval to pass.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap o: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control menu.
Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you
might have to choose More rst.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home in the control menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu that
appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
Double-click the Home button for multitasking
Open Notication Center or Control Center
Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPad
Rotate iPad
Appendix A Accessibility 145
Flip the Side Switch to mute iPad volume
Press the volume buttons
Hold down the Home button to open Siri
Triple-click the Home button
Shake iPad
Press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot
Swipe down from the top with two ngers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen
turned on)
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in
groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you
select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default
when you rst turn on Switch Control.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item
you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item
switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want
to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the
group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when
the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose
Speech On.
Slow down the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Auto Scanning Time.
Point scanning
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.
Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control menu. The
vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the broad,
horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the ne scanning line is on the item. Repeat
for vertical scanning.
Rene your selection point. Choose Rene Selection from the control menu.
Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu.
Manual selection
You can select a screen item directly using dedicated switches instead of having iPad alternately
highlight every item.
Stop scanning and highlight items yourself. Add switches in addition to your Select Item switch
to perform the Move To Next Item and Move To Previous Item actions. (You can use the iPad
FaceTime camera with head-left and head-right movements for these switches.) When you’ve
added the switches, turn o Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Scanning.
Appendix A Accessibility 148
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Hide the menu button (with accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.
Accessibility in OS X
Take advantage of the accessibility features in OS X when you use iTunes to sync information
and content from your iTunes library to iPad. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center (or Help >
Mac Help in OS X Yosemite), then search for “accessibility.”

iPad in Business
iPad in the enterprise
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, and Microsoft Exchange,
iPad is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPad in business, go to
www.apple.com/ipad/business/.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPad with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization requires.
If you received your iPad from your organization, the settings and apps you need might already
be installed. If it’s your own iPad, your system administrator may provide you with the settings for
you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server that installs the settings
and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in conguration proles. You might be asked to
install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, or one that you need to download
from a webpage. When you open the le, iPad asks for your permission to install the prole, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a conguration prole that sets up an account for you, some iPad
settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and require
you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your proles in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the prole are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to remove a prole, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organizations network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store
that congures your iPad to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about any apps and settings you need.
Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization
may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption
code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even
though your organization purchased it for you.
