Sleeves are a great way to keep your iPad protected while traveling or commuting without adding too much extra weight. However, sleeves will only keep your iPad protected when not in use. Look for a thicker and/or tougher case that protects the back cover, corners and sides of your iPad. A thicker case may increase the weight of your iPad. You can find such cases that also have a cover that protects the screen while its not in use. Some accessories that can come with a case include a pen holder, a keyboard, or something that allows you to prop up your iPad while using it. Because your iPad is an Apple product, it may be easiest to check Apple's website at https://www.apple.com/shop/ipad/ipad-accessories or go to an Apple store because they will have products made to fit your device. If you want a wider range of options from other brands, you can check other online retailers or tech stores. If you are shopping for a case online, make sure to check customer reviews to ensure it meets your needs. Going to a physical store rather than shopping online gives you the opportunity to bring your iPad with you and ask an employee to help you choose your case. Make sure it is suitable for your iPad model and screen size. If the model and/or screen size is not mentioned, look for the dimensions that can fit in the case. Make sure you are aware of the store's return policies so that you can return the case if it does not fit your iPad or your needs.

Summary: Get a sleeve case if you take your iPad on the go. Buy a thicker case for extra protection. Get a case with accessories you will need. Go to an Apple store or browse Apple's online store. Read the case label and/or description.

When you first sign in to Google Play Music, there will be a link in the top-right corner that says "Upload Music." Click this link and you will be taken to the download page for Music Manager. Download and install the program. You will be prompted to enter your Google login information. After you sign in, you will be asked if you wish to upload songs, or download them. Select Upload and click next. Music Manager will ask where it should scan for music files. If you use iTunes, select the first option and Music Manager will convert your iTunes files so that they can be added to your library.

Any new songs that are added to the folders that you specify are automatically added to your Google Play Music library when the Music Manager is running. You can upload up to 20,000 of your own songs for free. Any song you purchase from the Google Play Store is added to your library. These songs do not count towards your 20,000 song limit. They can be downloaded to your computer through the Music Manager.

Take stock of the conditions holding you up and estimate how much longer it will be until you can make it in. Depending on what you do, a few minutes may not be the end of the world. If you think you'll be delayed for a while, however, you should always make it a point to let someone know. Consider how long it will take you to resolve your current situation in order to give a more accurate estimate. If you're stuck in traffic, for example, use a navigation app that provides live traffic updates to find out how fast things are moving up ahead. Giving your employer an idea of when they can expect you to arrive will put them at ease and allow them to make any necessary adjustments to the schedule. Unless you're confident you can make it in on time despite the setback, it's usually best to pick up the phone and let someone know you're running behind. Inform them of what's going on and how much longer it will be before you can get there. If you have no way of knowing how late you'll ultimately be, err on the side of caution and call anyway. Once you've got someone on the phone, request to be put on the line with your manager, shift leader, or one of your boss's direct subordinates. This will help ensure that the message gets relayed to the right person. If you have important information to share, leave it with your boss's receptionist or administrative assistant. These people usually take notes, so there will be a record of your call. Avoid sharing your status with a coworker. If they get busy or distracted, they may forget to pass the word along.

Summary: Gauge how late you're going to be. Call your workplace when you're going to be more than 5 minutes late. Ask to speak directly to your boss.

You may need to update your firmware to fix a bug, or to allow your computer to play new types of discs. If you know your drive's manufacturer, visit its website and download the latest update. If you don't know the manufacturer, find it using one of these methods: Look for a name printed on the front of your drive. Look for a numerical code on the drive, then search for it at the FCC database. Open Device Manager and double click the entries underneath "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." On Windows 7 and later, you can have your computer attempt to fix problems automatically: Open Control Panel. Type "troubleshooting" in the search bar in the Control Panel. Click "Troubleshooting" when it appears in the results. Look under "Hardware and Sound" and click "Configure a device." Select your CD drive and follow the onscreen instructions. Open Device Manager and look at the entries under "DVD/CD-ROM Drives." Right-click those device names and select "Uninstall." Reboot the computer to reinstall them. This is most likely to work if the name has an X or exclamation mark next to it. If there are no drives listed, the drive's cables are disconnected or the drive is broken and needs replacement.
Summary: Update your drive firmware. Use the built-in troubleshooter. Reinstall the drive.
