Browsing the Web

Sometimes you want to have quick access to a web page and firing up the Safari app, opening bookmarks, and launching the page isn't fast enough. Your device has a solution for you. Simply add a page link to your Home screen and tap it whenever you want to open the specific page.

Once you some bookmarks on your iOS device, bringing them up is simple.

1. Open Safari.
2. Tap on the Bookmarks icon (it looks like an open book). On the iPhone/iPod touch, it's located at the bottom of the page, on the iPad at the top and to the left of the Web address window. This opens Safari's Bookmarks list.

When you're browsing the web and find a site you want to revisit, you'll want to bookmark it. Here's how you do it on your iOS device:

1. Open Safari and browse to the desired Web page.
2. On the iPhone, tap on the "+" icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

3. On the iPod touch or iPad, tap on the Action button (it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it) and tap the Save Bookmark button in the pop-up menu.

While browsing the Web, you'll occasionally see links like, "You're today's lucky winner!" or "Find out more about Home Mortgages." You can tap on the link and see where it takes you, or you can look at the Web address associated with the link first and see if you want to even bother with it. Here's how you do it:

1. Tap and hold down the link and wait for the pop-up menu to appear.
2. Instead of tapping on one of the options, look at the top of the menu above the Open button.

You can copy a link embedded in a Web page to your clipboard and then paste it into a text message, e-mail, or document. Here's how you do it:

1. Open Safari, browse to the desire page, and find the embedded link.

When you open Safari and start browsing around Web pages, you'll notice that you sometimes need eagle-like vision to read what's on the screen, especially on the iPhone and iPod touch.
