How to Increase Your Tablet's Battery Life
Reduce your screen’s brightness. This single step greatly improves your battery life. The screen is the largest power draw on a tablet. Dim your screen as much as you can handle without causing eyestrain. Some tasks, such as photo editing, may require full brightness, but reducing it for ordinary reading will pay off in extra uptime.
Shorten the screen timeout interval. This feature -- called the Auto-Lock Interval on an iPad --blacks out the screen when the tablet’s not in use. While you may have to touch the screen at regular intervals to keep the tablet awake while you read, you’ll extend your battery life significantly if you use the tablet frequently for short tasks like checking email or sending SMS messages. If you don't mind fiddling with settings, you can turn off the timeout when you're settling in for some reading, and then change it back afterwards.
Reduce or eliminate application updates, pings and syncs. For example, social media applications such as TweetDeck and Apple’s Ping update constantly by default, even when you’re not using them. Set applications to update manually whenever possible and you’ll conserve power even when your tablet is “asleep.” Likewise, Apple recommends turning off “push notifications” and email “push” settings on your iPad to conserve power.
Disable Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS when they aren’t needed. Even when these services aren’t in use, they continue to search for connections and remain “powered up.” Some tablets offer a widget to quickly enable or disable these antennas when you’re not using them. If your tablet also uses 3G or 4G wireless service, disable it when you’re using Wi-Fi, or use 'airplane mode' if you're photo editing or watching a downloaded movie.
Keep an eye on the applications that run in the background. Some, such as games, should be shut down when you’re done with them. Others, such as GPS-enabled apps, might use more power than you expect while they’re in the background, because they’re also accessing your GPS antenna. Kill or quit any apps you don’t need.
If your tablet has an Organic Light Emitting Diode screen, a dark-colored wallpaper will reduce the screen’s power draw. Unfortunately, this method won't work with LCD screens, which are illuminated by a static backlight.

How to Install iWork on an iMac Computer (7 Steps)
Turn on your Mac or iMac computer and remove the iWok CD from its box. If you own an iMac computer, the power button will be located at the bottom left on the back of the machine.
Carefully insert the iWork '08 CD into your Mac or iMac computer. On an iMac, the loading disk drive will be located on the right side of the computer.
Double-click on the box icon labeled 'Install iWork'08'; a new window will open asking if it's OK to check your computer to see if the software can be installed. To select 'yes,' click once on the 'Continue' button. When the software has finished checking your computer, click once on the 'Continue' button on the 'Welcome to the iWork'08 Installer' to begin installing the iWork'08 software.
Read the 'Important Information.' Use the scroll bar to move the information up and down. This section gives you an intro to the types of documents you will be able to use on your Mac or iMac computer. The information will cover the compatibility of import and export and drag and drop from programs like Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. It will also give you installation information, system requirements and copyright information. If you agree with information, click once on the 'Continue' button.
Scroll through and read the Software License Agreement. This is a detailed list of what you can and cannot do with the iWork software. If you agree with the information, click once on the 'Continue' button and the 'Agree' button.
Choose a destination where you want your software to be installed (for example, Macintosh HD). Click once on the destination to select it and click the 'Continue' button. The next screen that will open will tell you how much MB space is needed for the installation. If you agree with the information on the screen, click once on the 'Install' button. The installation will take about 3 minutes; when it's finished, click once on the 'Close' button.
Click once on the 'Page' icon and enter your purchase serial number. Click once on the 'Continue' button; your information will come up inside the Register Information Box. If you agree with the information on the screen, click once on the 'Continue' button. Your information will now be sent to Apple. Your installation has been registered and the installation is complete. You are now ready to work with your iWorks'08 software.
