Many apps, such as Mail and the App Store, display an alert badge on their Home screen icon with
a number (to indicate incoming items) or an exclamation mark (to indicate a problem). If the
app is in a folder, the badge appears on the folder as well. A numbered badge shows the total
number of items you haven’t attended to, such as incoming mail messages and updated apps to
download. An alert badge indicates a problem with the app.
Changing the wallpaper
You can choose the images or photos you want to use as wallpaper for your Lock screen and your
Home screen. Choose an image that came with iPad, or a photo from your Camera Roll album or
another album on iPad.
Set wallpaper:

Typing
The onscreen keyboard appears automatically anytime you need to type. Use the keyboard
to enter text, such as contact information, mail, and web addresses. The keyboard corrects
misspellings, predicts what you’re typing, and learns as you use it.
You can also use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to type. When you use an external keyboard, the
onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear. See “Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard” on page 31.
Entering text
Depending on the app you’re using, the intelligent keyboard may automatically suggest
corrections as you type, to help prevent mistyped words.
