5 TIPS FOR IOS7 ON YOUR IPAD
1. Get Today In Order
The new Today screen in iOS 7 presents a summary of your daily schedule when you swipe down from the top edge of the iPad's screen. If you want to change what you see there, say, to hide your Reminders to the list or show a sneak peek of tomorrow, just tap Settings > Notification Center and make adjustments in the Today View area.
2. Take Control of Common Settings
Swiping down from the top of the iPad's screen brings the Today screen and a list of your other notifications and alerts, but swiping up from the bottom of the screen summons the Control Center in iOS 7. Here, you can quickly get to a set of music playback controls, turn on the iPad's networking functions, call up the camera, turn on the new AirDrop feature so you can beam photos to other iOS 7 users, or even get to the AirPlay settings for streaming videos to your Apple TV. But if you find the Control Center pops up to easily when you accidentally brush the bottom edge of the screen during a game or presentation, you can restrict it to appearing only on the Home screen. Just tap Settings > Control Center > Access Within Apps > Off.

Just open a picture in the Photos app, tap the edit button and then tap the Filters icon to see nine different effects you can apply to the image.
4. Fine-Tune Your iTunes Radio Stations
Want to discover new sounds without breaking the bank? Tap into iTunes Radio in the iOS 7 Music app. Here, you can listen to several of Apple's pre-fab themed colle
