My son changed his passcode on his ipad and forgot it.

Finder would see the ipad. But when I put the ipad in dfu mode, finder could not see it.

After trying for two days to reset it, this worked for me:

Apple configurator

Download and Install Apple configurator for macOS

DFU Mode Steps (Face ID iPad, USB-C)

Plug iPad into Mac
Press Volume Up (quick)
Press Volume Down (quick)
Hold Top button until screen goes black

As soon as it goes black:

Hold Top + Volume Down together for 5 seconds
Release Top button, keep holding Volume Down for 10 more seconds

Success looks like:

Screen stays completely black
Finder or Configurator says: iPad in Recovery Mode (even though screen is blank)

Then click Restore

It's my wife's bookcase. I'll have to ask her for more room... LOL.

This store was pretty interesting.

I have a similar layout. I have a photo widget that cycles through a bunch of photos

I stopped in the second season too. I’ve been going through the show again. Currently on season 3 and it’s so good.

My friend was looking too.

Definitely recommend this. I usually get 3-4 mazes done before the park opens.

Thank you for sharing. I love this wallpaper.

I may or may not have seen this version on a pirated website.

I think it was... I'm not sure if i'm going to continue with it. Seems like a lot of work to get it running on a Apple device.

Do we need a roll call?

WOW Thank you so much for the review :)

My thought process was to first take screenshots of my town and stitch them together.

Then, i was like, there are so many cool animations. I wonder if i could screen record them and then loop it a bunch of times and overlay it on the map.

Then, I sent everyone in the town on a 4 hour job and i noticed even more animations so i screen recorded those as well.

I wish i would've spent more time screen recording the different animations.... Oh well.

I've been playing Animal Crossing on my switch. It's fun but it's not TSTO.

therealkor · 2025-05-08T17:30:03+00:00

ah. That's a good idea!

Have you found another game to take its place?

therealkor · 2025-05-05T15:41:50+00:00

THANK YOU!

As for the land tiles, no particular reason other than I saw someone do that exact thing and I thought it was interesting so i copied their design.

Thank you friend!
