To make it easy for you to increase or decrease the volume, the iPad includes Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on its right side (shown earlier in Figure 3-1).
You can adjust the volume by pressing one of the volume buttons or by holding it down. When you adjust the volume, the iPad displays a ringer icon with a horizontal bar underneath that visually displays the current volume level, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Note
Many apps, such as the iPod or YouTube app, also let you adjust the volume with a volume slider that appears on the screen. By moving this volume slider left or right, you can lower or raise the volume without touching the physical Volume Up/Down buttons on the side of the iPad.
Another way to adjust the volume is through the volume slider on the screen, which you can display and adjust by following these steps:
Press the Home button twice. A list of icons, representing different apps, appears, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Swipe this list of icons to the right. You may need to do this several times until you see the Volume Control slider, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Slide the Volume Control slider left or right.
Press the Home button when you’re done.
