    To be sure: There's no way to exclude folders from backing up to iCloud?

    ...if you are having "backup to iCloud" on in the settings? Lots of free storage in ipad, iCloud is almost full and I'd like to browse some local videos, but since if anything is backupped to iCloud, everything is backupped to iCloud, I can't use the local storage on the ipad. What would Apple...

    Hi everybody. Hope someone could help me. I’m searching for an app that allow me to edit pdf metadata. Really just Author and Publisher tags are ok, since I can change the name in Books. I have an app for that in my Mac, but has no version for iPadOS/iOS. Also have a couple of webs that can...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11inch M2 screen rippling issue?

    I picked up this iPad Pro about two weeks ago. And today while I was writing in Goodnotes I realised that there was a 'rippling' effect that was happening in the bottom centre of the screen (portrait mode with Face ID module facing up, slightly above and to the left of charging port). It didn't...

    With new major OS releases, I normally do clean installs on devices I'm not replacing. I know how do clean installs of the OS. My question is there a way to do it without having to erase my iPad and restore iPadOS 16 first before upgrading/upgrade to iPadOS 17 then restore for clean install...

    iPad Pro M2 Screen Flicker

    Is anyone else seeing their iPad screen occasionally flicker on iPadOS 17? I’m trying to figure out if it’s a beta issue, or if I’m having a hardware problem. Thanks!!

    Does iOS 17 upgrade notes/reminders to be incompatible with previous versions?

    Despite my 2017 MacBook Pro still being incredibly snappy, it will not be compatible with the next macOS. So if I upgrade my iPad and iPhone to iOS 17, will my notes/reminders/anything else be upgraded to a version that will no longer sync or be compatible with my Mac?

    Apple and Lightroom Lens Correction Settings

    iOS/iPadOS: Settings > Camera > Lens Correction (Correct lens distortion on the front and Ultra Wide cameras). With the setting enabled, when editing these photos in Lightroom, I can still apply lens corrections. Is the lens correction in Lightroom needed?

    Lockdown Mode and privacy issues

    I understand that Lockdown Mode (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) is to increase security. But I read somewhere (IT tech website) that if Lockdown Mode enabled, there would be have some negative impact on your device's privacy. Apple explain some trade-off on Lockdown Mode, but as far as I know they...

    The IOS 17 is an amazing update. Let me tell you why that is.

    The updates on the ipadOS and IOS are not groundbreaking, and thats the good part. Of course, the uninformed user might think it means theyre lazy or just dont care about the ipad, but no! Thats not the case at all! We NEED these updates once in awhile. They are the ones that allow devs to give...

    Unrealistic — but fun — idea...

    There're many comments, in various threads, wishing Apple would slow down, or even stop, adding software features, and focus on tightening-up their software. Many often cite Snow Leopard as being the heyday for Apple's "it just works" age, and I'm sure there's a similar reference for iOS. As...

    iOS and IpadOS aren't good, it's third party apps and devs that make them so much better than android

    I don't know how you guys feel about Ios and its bigger brother ipadOS which is basically a bigger ios with a few tweaks for the price of these devices, which is extremely high, especially in EU where an iphone 14pm/ ipad pro 12.9 128gb would cost literally 1500 euros, I find the OS rather...

    All iPads Would you like the iPad to receive a desktop environment and merge with macOS (à la Windows 8)?

    iPadOS and macOS could be combined through Launchpad. Launchpad is an application launcher that displays your Mac's applications into a grid, much like how your apps are displayed on iOS and iPadOS. What prevents Mac users from using Launchpad on their Mac like an iPad is that Macs don't have...

    iOS Control Center Remote Volume Unreliable After 16.2

    My wife and I use the iOS and iPadOS Control Center remote to control our Apple TV. Since upgrading to iOS, iPadOS and tvOS to the latest version, volume control rarely works (the volume buttons usually only adjust the iPhone or iPad device volume). Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes...

    Can Smart Folio keyboard use as a universal control device in Mac?

    I have the Smart Folio keyboard connected to iPad Pro (M2 version), and in both the IPad and Mac (MacBook Air 2022, MacOS 16.1.1) universal control is turned on. The trackpad works fine across device. The keyboard in the Mac works fine too. Even the bluetooth keyboard works fine. However, the...

    Can updates still be fully turned off? Impossible in iOS 16 now.

    For iOS 16 the ’Automatic Updates’ fine text states: The key part being “Some system files will always be installed automatically, even if “Security Responses & System Files” is turned off.” Is the fine text identical for iPadOS 16?

    Tilting eraser in Notes in iPadOS 16.1

    I’ve posted this on reddit as well, but it might be more engaged with if I post it here. I have the 3rd generation iPad Pro 11-inch. It’s disappointing to find that the ability to tilt the Apple Pencil in the Notes app in order to adjust the size of the eraser is now completely gone in iPadOS...

    iPad What's the difference between iPad Air and iPad10?

    Apple can just simply combine the Air and 10gen... The usb-c and Apple Pencil with lightning port is very confusing(Too inconvenient to charge) . Still keeping a 3dot connector at the bottom edge and making a new Microsoft surface keyboard is also weird, thus the vanilla iPad can't use the Magic...
