I tried it today for the first time fully expecting it to not work, but it just worked without any fuss or anything.

I had to put it in airplane mode because my device also connects to 5G, turning off WiFi wasn’t enough.

I am new to tablets and ipad, and confused. I keep switching between putting it on a stand with keyboard, or just using it while communting to do some work tasks. It's a struggle to do both frankly. Wondering if you've found what it works best as, for you?

Also, do you use it with a stand/keyboard or handheld like a phone?

Edit to add: thank you much for all the ideas! I should have added, I am trying to start using the ipad for work things, especially microsoft 365.

Hello, everyone I just got an m4 iPad Pro and I’m looking for great one-time purchase apps, I hate subscription based apps that try to extort more money out of my pockets lol. So far I have;

Procreate Obsidian

A good few months ago now, I upgraded the kids iPads and did the customary device reshuffle and ended up with my daughters 8th gen iPad sitting unused, shortly after that my grandmother had a fall and was in the hospital recovering from both a hip replacement and having a pacemaker fitted (hell of a way to get doctors to take your concerns with your heart seriously, Nan). Since this iPad was sitting around doing nothing and I figured she must have been bored out of her mind with no entertainment, her own iPad being at home 2 hours away, I loaded it up with books and outlander episodes and dropped it off to her at the hospital. I only just got it back from her when we all caught up over Christmas and have been using it casually myself since… and honestly loving it. I already have an iPad Pro m4 and Magic Keyboard and that’s great and all but the old design is undeniably so much more comfortable in the hand. It’s been such a joy to use for casual browsing and really any sort of handheld use case and the colour of the iPad itself coupled with the leather Smart Cover are just 👌👌👌 I will also probably die mad that Apple stopped making leather accessories (and wonder who the hell decided that the synthetic and flimsy BS that is FineWoven is more environmentally friendly than natural and more importantly long wearing leather products.

I had to factory reset my iPad and now the pencil isn’t reconnecting, I charged it all night and still nothing ☹️

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me identify the folio/holder in the pic. I am looking at Nuphy keyboards and saw this setup with the keyboard, iPhone and iPad in the same holder. I’d like a setup like this but can’t find any holders like this online. It’s quite hard to see in the pic because it’s underneath everything, even if you know of a product that is similar to this setup that would be great. Thanks.

The guy posted as WiFi only but it definitely not just WiFi I got a good deal at 460 now I’m even more pleased and he is throwing in a gen 2 pencil

Or at least vex is. haha.

apple has been notifying me that i have to pay this certain amount (369) but i never spent or subscribe to anything worth that.. just realized this issue when i cant download anything from the app store bc apple was asking me to change my payment method.. is it possible to know what is it that apple is asking me to pay for?

also, arcade games is 369 a month but ive never even opened that and have no idea what that is for

badly need help, cant use my mobile wallet 🥲 tyia!

Is it dumb to want an ipad 11 inches and a laptop 15 inches? Should I simply get a 13 inches ipad and use it as both?

Ipad air 11 inches M3 + apple pencil = $678 Macbook air 15 inches M3 16RAM 512GB = $1,500 Total = $2,178

Ipad air 13 inches M2 512 GB + apple pencil $1,178 Keyboard = $130 Total = $1,208

Thank you!!

I’m loving it and this case for it almost went for the 3rd gen was 100$ less but I just had to but wasn’t planning on spending more than 400 smh 🤦

As a student, I experience significant challenges with legibility in my written work, particularly when dealing with mathematical functions and geometric constructions. The inherent imperfections in my handwriting and freehand drawings hinder effective communication. While I hoped that an iPad, coupled with applications like Notability and GoodNotes, would mitigate these issues by enhancing the precision of my shapes and lines, my experience has been less than optimal. Therefore, I seek recommendations for alternative applications or strategies to improve the clarity and accuracy of my digital handwriting and drawings.

I have an iPad air 1st gen (yes It's old) that a buddy gave to me that has sat dead for many years. It's in perfect condition, no dents/cracks

However it won't turn on or charge It shows no signs of life at all I had it plugged into a modern lighting cable for an iPad 8th gen for 24 hours and still nothing. I tried the dfu mode buttons but still nothing.

Anyone know a fix??

I'm getting an ipad 10.9in 10th gen. for the first time since I got my ipad mini in like 2010 lol. Help a girl out, I know there's a ton i've missed on these ipads. What are the best apps (specifically for school, notes, etc. [the main reason I got an ipad again lol]) and what are some just fun games you girlies like to play on an ipad (preferably free, I'm a college student lol but if it costs a little >$10 its ok) but I used be an ipad girl when I was younger so lmk some games that are way better on ipad than a phone or laptop, thanks!!! <333

Also....I got the pen, but I already have a laptop but do you guys think the keyboard is useful/productive. My laptop is pretty somewhat large, an Ipad would be wayyyy more convenient to carry around, thoughts on this as well would be appreciated , thank you guys!!!

Hello, so im having an issue with regards the display/screen of my ipad, so when the device is left for let's say an hour, turning it on would result in it displaying a "blank" screen, such that i know that the screen is on but it isn't displaying the lockscreen

(refer to the video above)

however, after trying pressing the power button multiple times (it really depends, sometimes it would take few tries before going back to normal) before it will display the lockscreen

i was thinking it may be due to my charger because lately I've been finding it hard to charge my ipad in terms of the cable of my charger (undamaged but for some reason it sometimes just won't charge, i have to find the right angle) but i would love to know your thoughts if maybe this was the problem after all

p.s. i will try to buy a new cord for my charger tomorrow, but i would like to know your thoughts with regards the issue before buying one

just want to check what is better for basic use, I am considering both options!
May be someone switched from Samsung to Ipad??

Hi community. I own but don't use much my iPad Air. Due to my main job responsibilities being done on windows computer. However, I'm trying to switching completely to iOS. While using keynote, i was wondering if there is a better way to connect ipad to smart tvs/android tvs and use tablet for presentations. To use it for example as a whiteboard, when you want to demonstrate something, as I have a pencil as well. Any recommendations are welcome.

Hello

I have a iPad Air 5 and it’s in perfect condition, never dropped and have never had any issues up until today. The entire screen stopped responding. I had to use the Volume Up Down Power button to turn the iPad off. After restarting the screen is back to normal. What could have caused this? Is this going to become more frequent? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do I go for a refurbished 5th or 6th gen Pro and Pencil 2, or the latest 13" Air, Pencil Pro and case with keyboard?

I am unable to log into my apple ID on my ipad because it will not accept the correct ipad passcode. I will enter my Apple account credentials to get my cloud stuff but the iPad always asks for the passcode even though ive already used it to unlock the iPad. When the correct iPad passcode is entered it just infinitely waits on the window to entet the code without a "next" or "done". The ipad is not "frozen" and resetting and trying to reenter the passcode does nothing different. I have posted this on the Apple forums to no reply.

How do I log into my apple account to get my cloud sync from this point?

Hi there! Italian here, sorry for the bad english.

I bought an Air11 M2 BRAND NEW for christmas, the main use that I got for it is taking notes in uni and some media consumption. Two days ago I needed to take notes from a video lesson in late night, that I desperately needed for the morning after, since I had an exam that morning.

Well, my experience in using THEIR NATIVE APP, not some bullshit third party, THEIR FREAKING NATIVE APP, Apple Notes, begins that night and ends that night. Every 10/15 minutes i needed to restart the whole thing, because the lag input from the Pencil to the document was hilarious, as you can see in the video.

And OMG the thermal throttling. Yeah, it’s winter, the time of freezing cold, but i don’t need a oven under my hand, the whole time that i’m typing.

Come on Apple, you have a CPU that can outperform my desktop and you optimize your notes app like my ass AND you can’t find a way to not cook my palm with the most basic use of your product? F*ck u. I’m thinking about returning this slate of aluminum and sadness.

Good screen tho.
