iPad photo and video watching made easy


View photos on your iPad

All of the photos you sync towards the iPad from your computer, save from email messages, web pages, and iPad screenshots, all live in the Photos app. Tap the Photos app icon to spread out it up and see what's there.

After you get some photos on the iPad, this app protects the sorting for you personally. Photos that were in albums on your computer are in the same albums on your iPad. You can also see all your pictures in a loose collection by tapping the Photos button at the top of the screen. Tap any photo thumbnail to open an album or even the photo itself to full-screen size.

Watch videos on the iPad

Tap open the Videos icon to find all the movies, Television shows, video podcasts, and music videos you have on your iPad. If you don't have any yet, you can get video content in a couple of ways - download it straight to the iPad from the iTunes Store, or sync compatible clips from your computer to your iPad. But for the record, the Videos app is where your downloaded content lives; the YouTube app is for streaming cool clips from YouTube's perch on the Internet.

Once you have videos on your iPad, tap the Home screen's Videos icon. The iPad sorts your collection by type: Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, or Music Videos. Tap an icon to experience the video. In the case of TV Shows, where you have multiple episodes, tap the show's icon and, on the following screen, tap the episode you need to see.

The iPad's high-resolution screen shows off high-quality video files quite nicely. With a folding case or an extra pillow propped up on your stomach, you have a whole new way to watch TV in bed now - without having to dig around underneath the blankets for the remote control.

Use the iPad like an iPod

The original boxy white-and-chrome iPod from 2001 is one of Apple's greatest success stories, and its legacy lives on with the iPad. To listen to music or see what tunes you've on your tablet, tap the orange-and-white iPod icon on the iPad's Home screen.

The iPad's iPod is definitely an elegantly designed and organized app, designed to help you find your music quickly, sorted by Songs, Artists, Albums, Genres, or Composers. The items in your library appear in a neat vertical list across the left side of the screen, all awaiting your tap. If this all sounds perfectly fine however, you don't actually have any music loaded on your iPad. You can also download music straight to your iPad, right from the iTunes Store.

Shop iTunes and the App Store

The purple iTunes icon and also the blue App Store icon on the Home Screen are all about shopping. Some people will discover this very exciting, the opportunity to buy fresh new things directly on the iPad, without any cables, cars, or crankiness involved. All you need is a live Web connection and a working credit-card number.
