    iPad We need to file a class action lawsuit for iPadOS

    I have a 2020 12.9” iPad Pro. Apple has always limited the usability of the iPad’s software, not adding features that should’ve been added long ago. There’s no more excuses. It’s 2022 and we still don’t have: proper external monitor support, proper multitasking with more windows, full pro apps...

    iPadOS is not ready to be a laptop replacement for professional creatives if it can't handle basic tasks like copying files from a SD/microSD card. This has occurred multiple times across many months and multiple iPadOS updates: 1. Take microSD card (exFAT format) from GoPro/drone (videos...

    iPad Pro I just returned my M1 iPad Pro 12,9"

    I was so exited to get an iPad. Watched the different Mac blogs and news sites for the last two months in anticipation of the first event to see which one I should get. First I though I'd get the basic iPad, but with the price bump I might as well go for the air, but wait that's so close to the...

    iPad Find My Battery Drain

    Apologies if this has already been posted but I am really frustrated by how quickly my iPad Mini drains. I don’t know if it’s just me but I found that the iPad standby time has really gone down over the last couple of years. When I look at the battery statistics, Find My is the biggest drainer...

    iPad Final Cut for iPadOS 16

    Now that LumaFusion has announced availability for Android is coming before summer, which would match perfectly with WWDC's, is there any chance Apple finally brings Final Cut to iPadOS? And if so which hardware requirements are likely to be set for "compatibility"?

    Shared network storage (Samba) in Files is very unreliable

    I have a laptop (Fedora Linux) which hosts a Samba server connected my local network. However, it seems like successfully connecting to the server is a hit or miss for my iPhone and iPad. A lot of times, Files would just suddenly report that an unknown error has occurred. This usually happens...

    So with iPadOS 15.2 and macOS Monterey 12.1, the SideCar freezes after a few moments, either through wired (i.e., airplane mode on iPad to force a wired connection) or wireless connection (no matter the Wi-Fi bandwidth). A user on Reddit has pointed out and based on my own experience with their...

    Private Browsing option missing on iPad

    Hello everyone! There’s an iPad in my family which was setup as a kid’s device since day 1. There was never an option for Private browsing on the ipad, likely because it’s a kid’s device and Apple thinks that kids probably don’t deserve any privacy. Now, I wanted to enable the option but don’t...

    Hiding/showing the sidebar is inconsistent across iPadOS

    In  Music, Notes, Photos, and TV cmd + control + S hides/shows the sidebar. Safari uses cmd + shift + L Why does the key combination for the sidebar in Safari have to be different? It’s the same style sidebar with the same sidebar logo and it is driving my fingers crazy having this exception...

    Unable to open .CR2 files on iPad or iPhone

    Hi all. I’m unable to open RAW files on my iPad no matter how I try. This makes it impossible for me to edit them in light room or pixlemator. Does anyone know a way around this? Very annoying that you can’t do this on a “Pro” product.

    iPad Pro App Switcher on iPad Pro

    Does anyone know how many apps the app switcher (cmd + tab) will display? I have a bunch of apps open at a time and feel like it only displays a handful. Also, cmd + Q doesn’t kill the app. Instead it removes it from the app switcher; kind of like that feature to be honest! Was curious if anyone...
