I’ve noticed this on both iPad Pro 12.9” 2nd Gen and iPhone Xs: regardless of whether I have instructed the gadget to not adjust the brightness based on ambient light levels, the brightness level gets adjusted anyway. I can’t explain it, but this is really creepy. Just sitting there, reading...

Honestly I don't even notice them, and I don't take any special precautions to avoid them. My hands are clean, of course, but I have the same skin oils anyone else does. The viewing angle for normal drawing / designing, etc doesn't show anything on the surface of the glass. If the display is low...

I didn’t put a screen protector in my iPad Pro and very glad I didn’t. I use a case and treat the iPad like a piece of expensive pro gear. If a meteor hits the house I’m probably screwed…

I have DuckDuckGo selected in the iPad System Settings as the Default browser, yet sometimes / often, it’s Safari that leaps into action, say, highlighting a word, tap and press, one of the choices is “Search the Web,” a feature I just used, to discover that Safari, and not my declared default...

LannyC - I 100% relate to that! I'm going to try a hybrid strategy of keeping very few files on the iPad and will xfer them to a real mac after my drawing session is over. "Too weak and awkward" is an apt characterization of the iPad platform. In fairness, I truly love creating on iPad, which...

I've posted very recently regarding moving files off my iPad using various methods. I've finally found a method which works-ish, but it's been fraught with fails and inaccuracies. Transfers from iPad to removable USB Media is unreliable and inaccurate to the extent that it requires me to check...

Hello; My goal is to transfer files to my mac via iCloud. iCloud appears to be turned on on the iPad, but nothing lets me upload files to the iCloud. I've tried tap / hold on a file, choosing Share and I am not given a path to iCloud. Maybe I misunderstand the method. Can anyone clarify how to...

Yes, I did. I also restarted the iPad per twerppoet’s advice, and that seemed to help. Now shows only 4GB being used, not 64GB, but Photos contains only 2 items: screen captures, which in no way occupy 4GB between them. Does the iPad need to “think things over” so to speak before it can be sure...

Understood, but, when I went back into Photos just now, there were only two items - screen captures I took yesterday, and no hint or trace of anything else. No trash to empty…IOW, the photos I thought I deleted appear good and deleted from within Photos; however from the iPad’s point of view, a...

I transferred ipad photos to mac using a USB drive , and I thought deleted from the ipad, but about 64gb of them remain. screenshot attached. Is there a way I can remove them? thank you.

Safari. Is that my mistake?

I just tried downloading from the Google drive. Goog first zips, then downloads, but instead of depositing the items to my iPad, I get a browser full of what looks like the items’ code. Is there a way to have the iPad download the item as the thing that it is - in this case, a PDF? Thank you

The iPad “sees” the M1 Mac, and gives me the “Waiting” indication, but never sends the file - which in today‘s issue was 6 KB. Going from the Mac, no issue. Thank you in advance for any clues about what might be the impediment!

Thank you!

We have a Blue Yeti Nano microphone; it’s cable ends in USB-A. I have Apple’s adapter that connects USB-A to Lightning. Blue’s site has only Mac and Windows versions of their Sherpa - which controls gain and pattern. Nothing for iPad. Does this mean or suggest that Blue microphones aren’t...
