Barefoot.... the auto-correct will catch most usage of the ' key. But, if you tap and hold the ! key, the ' key will appear above it. Just slide up to select it. Whenever I need to type I'm or you're or any contraction, I just type Im or cant or youre and the iPad automatically puts in the ' . There area a few tricks to typing, but once you learn them, typing becomes much faster. For me, there isn't much difference between typing on a normal keyboard and the iPad, but it takes a little practice.

Search YouTube for typing on the iPad and you'll get lots of suggestions and tricks.

Enjoy....
