• Question

  How do I change the home screen if there is no background?

  

  There always is a background. iPhones and iPads come with the wallapapers that Apple makes.

• Question

  If I dropped my iPad and it changed to a fluorescent color, how can I get my normal colors back?

  

  Try going to Settings --> Accessibility, and look for a setting called Inverted Colors.

• Question

  How do I get rid of background windows on an iPad?

  

  Simply double-click the home button. All of your background widows will appear. Swipe up on them to close them.

• Question

  How do I add text to my home screen on my iPad?

  

  You could make your own custom design in Photoshop or even on Google Drawings (if you have an email you can do this). If it's something generic, like a quote, letter, initial or (common) name, you can probably find images for those words online that you can take screenshots of.

• Question

  How do I get a solid blue wall paper on the home screen?

  

  All you have to do is go to the internet and search up: Blue background. Go to images and it should pop up a bunch of blue backgrounds. Pick one and screenshot it. Go to Settings, then Backgrounds. Choose your screenshot and adjust it until it's just as you'd like it to be, then use it.

• Question

  Can I have two different backgrounds?

  

  Yes, but they can't be on the same screen. One would be the background on your lock screen and the other would be the background on your home screen.

• Question

  How do I change my iPad's home screen from a turquoise background to a white background with black print?

  

  Look online for a picture of your choice and then go to wallpaper in settings and change it to the picture.

• Bear in mind that a Home screen background appears behind your app icons, so make sure the image doesn't include similar colors to your apps that would make them hard to see.

• The better the quality of your wallpaper, the better it will look on your iPad, especially on the third generation iPad with Retina Display.

• On some IPads, you press the home and power button at the same time to a screenshot. This can be used when you want a picture from the internet or social media as your background.

• If the picture is large more than desired then pinch your screen and pull inwards until the thing says still instead of perspective.
