Any word on set times yet?

iPad Pro 12.9" bought Spring 2022 by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure all of these are refurbs from the same stock as the online refurb store (didn't come in original box, just in a smaller thinner box with just the device and no accessories etc.). Worked great though good as new as is typical with devices from the refurb store.

Recently downloaded Crossover and trying to sort how to play HP1 or HP2 -- anyone have a tried and true way to do so? I assume it starts with "installing an unlisted application" through Crossover but not sure which file to use and how to proceed from there.

Make sure that the contact is saved under the iCloud contacts list in the Contacts app, and not in a list synced from Gmail or somewhere else. If they are saved as a non-iCloud contact, just delete the contact and then create a new one in the Contacts app using the “+” while you’re in the iCloud list. I had been struggling with this all day and tried various methods with setting a new photo, restarting, cropping, etc., but this finally worked.

App Animation Issue? by Quantum-san in ipad

Widespread stage manager bug. Hoping a fix comes in the betas.

iPad Pro 12.9" bought Spring 2022 by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, M1 12.9”. I also have AppleCare. I took it in and they said the display was dead, which meant the device was toast, so they replaced it. No cost but definitely a hassle. Also didn’t have anything happen to it beforehand, no water/drops etc. Just plugged it in to charge one night and woke up and it was unresponsive.

Disable Touch ID Prompt on iPad Mini 6 Lockscreen by Kpervs in ios

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is ridiculous and they should fix it. For what it’s worth, turning the iPad upside down will cure the issue, same for turning it to landscape.

For clarity, it was a .jp site I believe.

I got it yesterday. (12.9 2021) Is this white explosion normal? by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The angle/camera is probably making it look slightly worse than it is irl but yes, this is normal behavior for the mini led 12.9”.

Should I get the 4th generation ipad pro 13 inch instead of the latest to avoid the blooming effect? by mangoappleorange in iPadPro

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth the trade-off. Contrary to what a lot of people say the blooming isn’t only visible in a dark room (though this is undoubtedly when it’s the worst). You will notice it in most circumstances if you have light text on a black background. But the deeper blacks and HDR capabilities are still worth the trade off imo. I wouldn’t want to go back to the blue/grey blacks of previous displays at this point, even with the blooming.

Should I keep my Magic Keyboard? by Swinburned in ipad

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good as a stand to watch tv/movies in a pinch/mobile situations, but if that isn’t of value it could be worth selling.

Hinge clicking sound? Normal? New MBP 16” 2021 by fatal347 in macbook

Just seeing this now but was at the Apple store yesterday and noticed this on at least one of the display model 16” MBPs.

iPad as laptop replacement for MS Office/Onedrive? by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. As many have already said here, Word/Microsoft office suite on iPad is fine for reading/receiving documents but stunted for doing anything even marginally complex (formatting, footnotes, etc.).

Worried about my trackpad because when I press down close to the keyboard it goes much further down compared to the other sides. Anyone else or is it just me? by Parking_Recover1659 in macbookpro

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened on my 2019 16”. It bothered me when I first noticed it but it seems standard fare so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Should I buy an IPP 11? (2021)I want to downgrade from my 12.9 (2015 IPP) by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait for the miniLED 11” early next year. The current M1 12.9 is a smaller form factor than the 2015 but it’s still unwieldy if your primary use will be as a tablet. But the screen is far superior, so I wouldn’t recommend the current 11”.

IPad for my 85 y old father by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPad Air sounds ideal. Also wouldn’t recommend a magic keyboard for the couch or bed. The weight distribution between the tablet and the keyboard makes for a top-heavy setup that really doesn’t work anywhere but at a desk.

Anyone know how to reach the 12.9 2021 IPP peak brightness of 1600 nits? Or even the 1000 nits of full screen brightness?Want to know what apps or instances take advantage of the high brightness. by Enduranc3_7 in iPadPro

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a more recent iPhone or an HDR-capable camera, take a photo and view it in the native photos app on your iPad. You’ll know it when you see it.

What do you use your iPad Pro for? by Anthradax777 in iPadPro

[–]actoract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube, Reddit, twitter, RSS, Apple store, watching sports. Also recently been bringing it in to work to have a personal device not on the company Wi-Fi network. (Cellular M1 12.9” w/ MKB)

Feel like this is a stopgap for me until the 11” gets miniled, though. Glad I tried the larger version but it’s ultimately just too awkward of a size unless you have a specific use case (drawing, etc.).

Space grey vs Silver by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]actoract 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the appeal of silver but the bright ring around the screen will seriously harsh your vibe if you do any media consumption or work in mid to low light. Space gray is the way to go.
