   1. About  Wi  Fi  address  and  Bluetooth  address:  these  are  MAC  addresses.  They  identify  your  iPad’s  wifi  and  Bluetooth.  They  are  used  in  wireless  networking.  If  you  have  a  number  of  devices  on  your  Wi-­‐Fi  network  at  home,  this  will  allow  you  to  identify  the  iPad.      Software  update  Check  this  periodically.  When  there  is  an  update  to  the  operating  system  (OS),  run  this  update.  Do  it  at  home  either  wirelessly  or  update  the  OS  via  iTunes.    Usage  Battery  %  -­‐  if  you  want  to  know  how  long  your  battery  will  last  before  charging,  switch  to  ON.  Storage  –  you  can  discover  which  apps  or  the  data  within  the  aps  are  using  a  lot  of  your  storage  space.  You  can  either:  1. Delete  the  app  from  here.    2. If  you  still  want  the  app  but  want  to  delete  the  data,    tap  the  app  and  the  following  screen  appears.    The  example  here  is  tapping  MUSIC.
