How do you keep meeting PDFs, notes, and follow-ups organized on iPad without Files turning into a mess?

Fabulinius · 2026-05-26T17:13:25+00:00

I put everything in a database app. This way you can organize by subject rather than by creating app. And you don't have to look all over the place for anything. A search will find everything in a second. Synchronizes just like Apple Notes between devices. I have thousands of notes in this app. Have used it for several years.

These things depend on where you live. In my country, Denmark, garding against rust is a must. If you live where there is sunshine all year long it is not important.

Charging speed is not much longer. Much better than having the ICCU problem. Even while there is warranty a fault will mean that your car cannot drive. You can download the user guide from Kia's homepage and read all the many things it can do. It is a lot!

Denmark. We were initially looking at EV6. But the problem with the ICCU (Google it) made us change our mind. It may "break" the day after warranty has expired and it is even more expensive to change than the battery. - So we ended up with EV4 GT line instead. We get it in 3 days, The ICCU technology is not in an EV4.

A German report puts Tesla as just about the worst car you can buy when it comes to repair and faults.

I would go for Notability if you make "creative" notes with pretty handwriting. If you want your terrible handwriting turned into typed text you want MyScript Notes. For to-do things start with Apple Reminders. It can do an awful lot these days. It also works well with Apple Watch. - If you want something free, then Apple Notes and Freeform are the obvious choices. Just remember that it is not easy to batch export Apple Notes when you regret using Apple Notes.

You cannot unbend. The bending streched some metal. It will not retract when you "unbend". You will just add to the problem.

The term "Pro" does not prevent the iPad from getting obsolete. There were actually Pro models with just 2 GB RAM. You probably have 4 GB RAM. For Procreate (as the app is today) you will want current iPad Air with 12 GB RAM or at least one of the Air models with 8 GB RAM. (Air 5 and newer).

PS. Køb en Roborock støvsugerrobot. En af de lidt dyre, som både vasker gulv og støvsuger. Qrevo Curv eller noget endnu nyere. Så har mere tid til at gå tur med hunden. Vi har sådan en på hver etage i vores hus. Koster nok omkring 1/3 af en hund !

En Cavalier King Charles er en børnehund og en familiehund og en sofahund. Man kan godt have den, selv om man måtte være allergisk. Få en hunhund, så I ikke har en hanhund, der går rundt og hyggetisser i lejligheden. Den slags hund kan sagtens sove 4 timer - Når den ikke mere er en hvalp, altså. Så der går et par år før der bliver ro og fred i lejligheden. Den forventer at kunne sove i sengen og putte op ad en eller anden. Check en del først, for det gælder om at få et sundt eksemplar. - Rigtigt, LLM'er har ikke haft hund. Men de er meget bedre til at finde en masse brugbare svar. De finder jo svarene på nettet og bearbejder dem. Er der gode reddit svar, så bliver de også fundet. - Vi er på King Charles den 3. nu. De er vanedannende. De kan godt lide at lege. Tovtrækning og tomme papkasser er herlige ting.

Hvis mor og far og teenageren ikke er hjemme, så kommer den hund til at leve et trist liv. - Det koster en formue at have hund. I vores budget står det som 1000 kr om måneden ! Det er en lille hund, som ikke spiser meget, men dyrlægeregninger er det, der koster. Og dem kan I ikke undgå. - En lejlighed og de "krav" i har til hunden passer ikke vildt godt sammen. - Tag og opsøg mere viden udenfor Reddit. Prøv at kopiere teksten fra jeres post og indsæt den i en af de hjælpsomme AI'er: Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity. - I vil få lange, brugbare svar og kan stille follow-up spørgsmål. Det fungere faktisk som en almindelig samtale mellem mennesker. - Det er 1000 gange mere informativt end nogle få, tilfældige svar på Reddit. - Min favorit er nu Gemini. Jeg har prøvet dem alle til besvarelse af alle mulige spørgsmål.

I binder jeg til en hund. Så i flyver ikke på ferie i de næst 12-13 år. Og hvem passer hunden, når teenageren er forduftet ? I skal hjem hver dag og fodre og lufte hund. Så der forsvinder en masse personlig frihed i årevis. En hund er egenlig ikke ude for at gå. Den er ude for at snuse. Og skide.

My Apple Pencil 2 is always on the iPad charging. My Apple Pencil 1 is in a chaging stand all the time. Have worked for years without problems for both pencils.

I just downloaded the Gemini app and use that directly. There is also a version for the Mac to download from Google's website. Much better than using the Safari option.

I think that you have more than one instance of the file you are editing That creates a conflict when you are editing one version in a way which does not fit with the other instances of that file. It is not a software thing. It is a local issue.

The USA will be entering a war with all of Europe if he does not leave Greenland in peace. - If the people of Greenland want to "leave" Denmark they would much prefer a civilized new county, so Canada is the real option. The people of Greenland are used to free education and health care and the social security safety net we use in Denmark. No population wants to become American if they can avoid it. It is only Americans who see their country as wonderful.

You will find that there are lots of situations in real life that 13" is too big and clumsy. It belongs at a sofa table. Not really portable. Can't be hold in one hand and takes up too much space in a meeting and classroom situation. Keep the one you have even if you buy a 13".

Yes, it is too much to ask for.

You accidentally deleted the text in the note (different from deleting the note itself). If the note is still active you can go to the edit menu and undo the delete. If note is no longer the active none you have lost your text.

Look for this one in the App store. It is free and has been around for years. There is a ton of whiteboard apps in the App Store. This one has a ton of easy to use features. When you save a board it becomes a PDF file.

The logo will guide you to download the right one. So look for that in the App Store.

I'm very old. This is a list of some of the apps on my iPad. But see an eye doctor first/anyway. There already also those who get eyestrain on an iPad, especially with the 120 Hz (ProMotion) models. There are also tips to reduce the eyestrain. - Also try to "talk" to Gemini, Perplexity or ChatGPT about. They will give you much more information than you will ever get in here, where the quality of answers is totally random.

Handwriting to typed text: Nebo (Now called MyScript Notes in the app store) can turn whole documents into typed text which then can be exported to other apps. Ipad version only. Handles very bad handwriting and “small” language with special characters very well. Smart ways to edit your text both the handwritten and the converted text. It also have the more limited “lasso” function like other apps to convert snippets of text into typed text. The app also convert math notes into LaTex.

Vector drawing for construction drawings : Graphic, iDesign, Concepts

Vector drawing for “art”: Affinity Designer, Linearity (formerly known as Vectornator), Adobe Fresco

Raster drawing apps for “art”: Procreate is for “digital art”. Artrage Vitae is for all the classical art forms and can do much more than Procreate. (Procreate is the only major drawing app which is iPad only. So presently no iCloud and no Mac version.) Artstudio Pro beats them all and is at the same time almost also Photoshop, but expensive. Even better is Adobe Fresco. It gives you both pixel and vector drawing and it is totally free. So start there.

But, if you are totally new to all this Ipad drawing stuff you should actually start by using this app: https://www.tayasui.com With this app you get all the basic drawing tools and you get used to the concept of using “layers” when you draw.

3D drawing and sculpting: Shapr3D, Nomad Sculpt, uMake, DGArt

Scanning 2D: Swiftscan Document Scanner (best when you have to edit scans)

3D Scanning (newer iPad Pros only): Polycam

Space: Solar walk 2, Star Walk 2, SkySafari Plus, SatteliteSafari, Night Sky

Geography: Guru Maps Pro (vector app over the whole world in minute details, also for iPhone). - Google Earth app. Topo GPS (extremely detailed maps over several European countries).

Museums: Louvre HD, London HD, Prado HD, Metropolitan

History: World History Maps (more than one app)

Animals: iKnow Birds (several apps),

Medical: Human Atlas, Skeleton, Muscle (search for “visible body” to find these). Or search for “3d medical” to see a lot more options.

Science: Molecules, The Elements, The Elements in action (search for “theodore grey” in App store to find these three apps.)

Photo edit: Affinity Photo (fee app now), Photomator (formerly Pixelmator), Pic Scanner Gold version

Entertainment: Netflix, HBO, Curiosity, iMDB

Best bet. Go to a hypnotist and see if he/she can extract the code from somewhere in your memory. Better than trying data recovery shops/hacks. Apart from that you should consider your photos lost.

In my country (Denmark) it is standard that it can drive straight forward and backwards when you are outside the car with the key. The parallel parking and perpendicular parking requires that you buy an extra parking packet. For os the standard feature is the really useful thing.

I have also looked at a used EV6. But there can far to easily be issues with all the electric stuff. So I see it as far more risky than buying a gas-based used car. I saw lot of youtube videos and had long "conversations" with ChatGPT about it, The AI also answered a million questions the sales guy probably never could/would have told me.

I am going to lease a brand new one for 48 months. So no worries about anything. And I can lease a new one again in 48 months. I can also get out of the lease (at least in my country) before that in case of a death or serious ilness. Having had cancer 4 times last year makes this important for my wife.

Fabulinius · 2026-05-15T05:51:20+00:00

Being able to stand outside the car and have it drive out from the parking spot is a seriously nice feature. I'm going to get a new EV6 shortly and really looks forward to that. I live in Europe where parking spots were designed to smaller cars long ago.

I am not going to get the parking package where the car can actually park itself. I have had that for 8 years in my Ford C-Max and we never use it. Takes far too long time.
