In a few days, I will add another one. It will be geared toward finder, text editing, expose and spaces. We hope you find it to be useful.

( 2.7 / 69 )First the basics, then a cool tip.
It is easy to copy and paste on your iPad even though you might have to close one application and open another to complete the process. For instance, you might want to copy something from an email message and then paste it into a Pages document.
To copy or Cut
Find the information you want to copy or cut and tap twice on a word. This option window will open
letting you select copy or cut as your choice. If you want to copy or cut more than just one word, use the little blue handles on each end of the word and drag them to encompass everything you want included. When you have your selection made, tap on the word Copy or Cut in the option window and that step will be complete.
To Paste
If you are moving text within the same document, just place your cursor at the insertion point, double click again, and the paste option window will open.
Tap on Paste and the information will be inserted.
If you are moving text into a different document in the same application, open the document and follow the same steps as noted above to paste.
If you are moving text into a document in a new application, close the application from which you copied and open the new application. Start a new document or open an existing document. Follow the same steps as noted above to paste.
Everyone got that. If any of it is not clear, please let me know.
Here is the secret tip. I found out that if you are using the iPad and working in Pages you can quickly highlight a whole paragraph for copying or cutting by tapping within the paragraph 4 times instead of tapping a word twice. I tried doing the same thing in Mail, thinking it would work on the iPhone and iPod Touch as well, but was never able to make it work. If someone does make it work, please let me know. I expect this works in other applications besides Pages.

( 2.6 / 53 )If you have an iPad you might be interested to know there is a free user guide right on your iPad. You just have to know where to find it.
Click on the iBooks app. Click on Store. In the request field on the far right, enter iPad User Guide. When the option comes up, download it. It will be available in your iBooks book shelf.

( 3 / 63 )If you use the Mail app to view your email, check this out.
Open Mail. Select Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail. Check to see if you have a check in the box next to "Sender of message is in my Previous Recipients". If you are not using Snow Leopard, look for something similar.
If you have a check in that box, you may be allowing unknown email addresses to be added to your Previous Recipients list, which in turn, allows junk mail to come into your mail account. Keep in mind that 85% of all email today is junk mail.
If you do have a check in that box, you can uncheck it, and you can also remove any unwanted email addresses from your list of Previous Recipients list. You may be quite shocked at how many you find.
With Mail open, select Window > Previous Recipients. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list where you may find a list of email addresses with no names associated with them -- addresses that you do not recognize. Most of these are legitimate addresses that have been abducted by spammers. Delete them and you will eliminate that avenue into your mail boxes.

( 2.7 / 34 )To extend the life of the battery in your laptop computer you should drain the battery all the way down once a month and then recharge it back up to 100%. I can't tell you the technical reasons for doing this, only that the people whose technical expertise I trust the most have all given me this advice.
They say it will extend the life of your battery by several months.
