How to Add Apps to the Tray on the iPad

Are you interested in learning about how to manage your apps on the iPad? Or maybe you're just curious about the iPad's features? Here you can learn how to add and remove apps from your iPad tray.

The iPad is an Apple touchscreen product that allows users to access many functions. With the iPad, you can access the Internet, YouTube, photos, email, calendar, Facebook, maps, and much more. If you desire more than what the basic iPad comes with, you can obtain more apps for your iPad to give you the fuller experience that you desire. These apps come in the form of games, tools, or specific programs that you want.http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/ The iPad was designed to be carried around wherever you wanted to take it. Thus, the screen is is 9.7 inches and a half an inch thick. With that thinness, the iPad weighs about 1.5 pounds.http://www.apple.com/ipad/design/

Step 1: Understand the iPad Tray

The iPad tray is that shelf you see at the bottom of your home screen, below all your other apps. The purpose of adding apps to the tray is to avoid the task of always going through pages of apps to find an one that you use quite often. The iPad tray stays there at the bottom of the screen no matter if you're scrolling through pages or not. It is very useful for apps you access every day.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKoWuRI6gcc&feature=player_embedded

Step 2: Pick an App

Now that you understand what the iPad tray is used for, it's time to put it to the test! Choose an app you would like to place onto the tray. Once you have chosen one, press your finger on that app's icon. Hold your finger on it until it starts to wiggle (the rest of the app icons on your home screen will wiggle as well).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKoWuRI6gcc&feature=player_embedded

Step 3: Place the App into the Tray

Select your wiggling app and drag it (using your finger) into the tray. Let go of the screen and your app will stay there. Your app can be removed from the tray as easily as it was put there: simply drag it back into the home screen with the rest of your apps.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKoWuRI6gcc&feature=player_embedded

Congratulations--you have now learned how to add apps to your iPad tray.
