Yeah, the price is only liable to come down after whatever refresh the iPad Pro gets. If none, you're only out some time.

I'm on the 13.4 iPadOS beta and Apple Music seems to be completely broken for me. Anyone else dealing with this, or is it just a weird coincidence? I just resubbed recently and my library just sits on "loading library" and the For You/Browse pages eventually load but take about 5-6 seconds to respond to any touch input.

Are you asking if it's a weird coincidence that you installed the first beta of a new release of an OS and something broke?

I figured I'd ask if this was a thing anyone else on the beta was experiencing or if it's a one-off. I don't know if the beta broke it because I haven't used it in a few point releases. I'm fine with poo poo breaking, just wondering if it's something that'll get resolved with updates or if it's something I need to futz with further.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but hoping to describe it and see if anyone know what kind of app may be out there to help. I'm looking for an app that can very nimbly and quickly handle PDFs and/or images. I want to use my 12.9" pro as more of a hub for my guitar practicing/playing. I'm still very early in my journey and am taking my lessons. I get a lot of sheet music / notes from my instructor that I use pretty much religiously, but would be nice to shuffle them around (like I do in reality) in a linear fashion without much fuss. I was initially thinking of OneNote, but the interface is a bit clunky and if I wanted to 'rearrange' the order of my pages, it's a PITA. So I'm picturing an app that is very loose with the structure of the pages and can reorder them in almost an infinite flow on the X axis, but also serve to organize them as they get more numerous. Perhaps into binders? Sorry if that sounds odd, but trying to figure out how I want to organize my materials but also not be too restrictive and put a barrier between myself and the music.

You can easily annotate (get the Apple Pencil!), rearranging pages is dead simple, and it has a built-in metronome, tuner, and tons of other features. I get hired for a lot of musicals and also got a bluetooth page turner (AirTurn makes great ones, but I’ve never heard anything bad about any of the other companies), which might also be useful for you down the line when you’re reading longer things like songs/classical pieces feel free to PM me if you have any specific music/iPad questions!

I have a pencil already so got that covered. It'll import PDF? In general, I'd love to hear how you use your iPad for music. My current system is a Manila folder I carry around in my case between lessons and home. I throw an AirPod in for my metronome (still working out rhythm) and follow the plan. Thanks!

ooh ipad music chat, I have a question: What would be the best method to interface to an electric piano that had a usb B port out and a bass guitar (not simultaneously)? For piano I was thinking the photo interface (this is a lightning port ipad) and bass either a 1/4 to 1/8” adapter or some kind of apogee jam type thing. Also any recommendations for play along learning apps for either piano or bass or both? I want to refresh my playing skills as I haven’t really played either for about 20 years.

priznat posted:ooh ipad music chat, I have a question: Get a USB adaptor. You should be able to plug the keyboard in directly, but will likely need to supply external power (not sure if Lightning can supply power over the USB interface). For my guitars I use the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. I have a 12.9 Pro, so I actually use a USB C hub so I can plug in my LaunchKey keyboard, Focusrite and Korg Nanokey studio all at the same time. I'm not sure about the Lightning USB adaptor, but I have very low (really unnoticeable) latency on audio with my setup. One note (and I'm not sure if this holds true on Lightning iPads), if you plug an audio adapter into through the USB C port, Audio OUT goes over that so you need either some small monitors or headphones. re Lessons: I haven't used them, but Garage Band has Piano and Guitar lessons you can download for free. I'm not sure about bass, but you can easily check that out in GB.

For lightning ported stuff, you can get adapters with a usb-a port and a 3.5mm audio output on Amazon. That's what I use with my keyboard.

TraderStav posted:Ooh will check it out. I have a pencil already so got that covered. It'll import PDF? Yup, importing is a breeze too. If someone has a pdf already they can airdrop it to you and you can select forscore and it’ll import in literally a second (unless it’s 400 pages at 1200dpi). The only downside is it doesn’t automatically fill out the metadata fields, so you have to keep up on that manually every time you import something Honestly a lot of the stuff I work on now is harder/more variations of stuff out the books I’ve been using forever, so I use those at home a lot. I did pick up PDF versions of some of them, but I found that for me, not having a physical object open to a specific page makes it harder for me to both remember what I was practicing, and it makes less likely to want to practice, so I mostly stick to physicals I use my iPad for musicals because page turns are obnoxious while playing a rhythm section instrument (especially drums, because you’re playing 99% of the time), as well as very lightly in rehearsals—the jazz trio I play with regularly does everything from memory, but we’ll do several versions of arrangements before settling on the specifics, so annotating comes in handy for writing down any changes In the past I’ve run a metronome off it for shows (the one in forscore), but I’m moving away from that since I got a sample pad. I still use it for practicing though (a separate metronome I like better), and I use Spotify for playing along to tunes I know people who use it as a teaching aid, but I haven’t done much with it in that regard. It’d definitely come in handy with older instruments with a lot of sheet music online (esp. piano/classical instruments where a lot of it’s free/there’re subscription services like Spotify for), but that’s a little harder for drums since the instrument is younger than the copyright expiration for all written music for it  I also do freelance music editing (music engraving), and exporting a pdf to my iPad lets me look at the music as a performer and catch more mistakes that I missed just looking at it on a computer, which I can then mark and fix, all without wasting any paper or ink

Speaking of recently uses apps, i accidentally clicked the minus on one recently and now it never shows up anymore. I can’t find any option to re-allow it either, googling only brings up how to remove the recently used apps part of the dock. I didn’t realize how much i used that until it was gone for one app.

If you go up the current-gen ipad air (or mini) you'd probably go over budget but get a nicer screen and newer CPU. IMO you should try to check them out at a store with display models and see if you think the upgrade is worth it

I got a 6th gen iPad a year ago and mainly use it for writing math things in Notability. I have the pencil and everything mostly works fine but when I lean my big dumb wrist on it it feels like one out of every 10 penstrokes doesn't go through and I have to re-write the thing. It's pretty annoying but I've just been dealing with it because I assumed that was something everyone had to deal with, although recently I was talking to some people that were saying their's works completely flawlessly. Anyway I tried to do a bit of Googling and I have no idea where to even start troubleshooting the problem. Could the pencil or iPad be defective? Is it related to the way that I'm leaning on it? Does it have to do with the particular model iPad I'm using? The only thing I can think of is the issue seems worse when I'm writing near the margins, so maybe it's something where the palm detection gets buggy when I'm moving my hand between the bezels and screen; if so, maybe a Pro with the thinner bezels would help? Any help would be appreciated!

Palm detection doesn't get buggy on iPads, especially when coupled with a Pencil. Sometimes it will record an errant stroke, but its usually rock solid. Are there any other apps you can test it with? I'd just download a few free note taking or drawing apps with palm support and see if the problem follows the application. You've double checked to see if palm detection is enabled right? In Notability that's Settings >>> Handwriting >>> Palm Detection. I think that's enabled by default so it's probably not the issue.

Thanks, I'll give some other apps a shot and report back (will take a few days, the dumb thing is at work). I did double check that Palm Detection is on though. Is it possible the pencil tip is wearing down? I don't know how the pencil behaves when the tip wears down but I do have the vague sense the problem has gotten mildly worse over time. How long do the tips usually last?

Unless your Pencil is years old, the nub isn't wearing down. I think I finally replaced mine after 2 years and that's because I accidentally damaged it in my bag. If the problem doesn't follow to another app then you'd want to uninstall and reinstall Notability (I think it backs up to iCloud or Dropbox so those files shouldn't be impacted, but double check). If that's still a problem back up the iPad to iCloud and restore that next. Someone else may have better insight, but it doesn't sound like a hardware issue.

So iMessages stopped forwarding from my iPhone to my iPad Pro for some reason. iPhone shows it as being enabled for forwarding, iPad shows iMessages as being enabled, but ... nothing happenin’ Anyone experience this before? I tried turning iMessages off/on on both the iPhone and iPad, still nada. I’m going to visit fruit stand this week if I can’t figure it out, just frustrating.

iMessages don't forward. iMessages should push down on any device you're signed into Messages with. Are you referring to SMS (green text bubbles)? If that's the case, sign out of Messages on the iPad. Also, in the Messages settings on your phone, turn off forwarding to the iPad. Hard reset both devices (optional, but I like to do this). Sign back into Messages on your iPad. On your phone, turn the forwarding back on.

Alright guys, I’m planning to get an iPad mostly for school but also for browsing the web on the couch/playing some games/reading books. I plan to use it to take notes primarily in class though. I’m not exactly sold on the 2019 10.2” iPad using the old chipset (I’ve seen some videos saying that it’s great but I am hesitant), so I was considering the new iPad Air. However, for about $100 more I can get an Apple refurb iPad Pro 2nd gen (12.5”). What’s the better product here? I kinda dig the much larger screen especially for notes, but I know it’s using the A10X chip instead of the A12. Probably won’t make a huge difference in what I do right? Pro Motion does seem like a big deal though.

There’s a good chance the Pro, Mini, and Air get a refresh in the next 2 months so I’d wait. Basic iPad just got a chassis upgrade, like you said, so it’s probably not getting any changes except maybe to its price/refurb options. Unless you’re running resource-intensive apps like lots of VSTs/AUs/instruments or photo/video editing stuff, you probably won’t notice the difference in power. If you plan on making your iPad the hub of your electronic music rig you might—once you’ve got like 7-8 synths and effects going you can see that A10 start to hit ‘70-90%’ and stutter—but for web browsing and MS OneNote the standard iPad is aces. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Feb 20, 2020 |

Seems plenty fast enough for everything I've used it for and I can't imagine needing more performance. I thought the 120hz screen would be a big deal but TBH I can barely see any difference compared to 60hz (maybe my eyes are broken because I also fail to see the improvement on >60hz screens on PCs either) One thing to note is battery life doesn't seem great (as is typical for previous gen Apple products)

I still have my first gen giant pro and it’s great aside from some damage that in no way impacts my use. I am actually looking forward to have excellent cameras (I hope) on the pro. I use mine (strictly on my property) to grab shots of stuff all the time - things I need to remember, catching the parrot being cute while I’m using the iPad, etc. I’ve no doubt that they’re adding this stuff mostly for AR functionality but I would totally use nicer cams for capturing video at home (accessory screens are common anyway so size is hardly a complaint) and taking reasonable quality product shots and the like for social media posts. Snap, edit, go. I realize many could use an iPhone for this but a) iPad much nicer for editing and b) you can pry my se out of my cold, dead hands

I’m waiting to see what refresh brings before I decide whether I want to buy my work iPad 3gen 10” which I love and use on a daily basis. It’s got some scuffs from where I dropped it and the keyboard cover didn’t protect the metal sides but literally nothing usability related. I might even enjoy having an iPad I don’t need to worry about keeping pristine  But I’ll definitely wait until refresh since it’s a 256GB LTE model and I’m hoping that the resale/trade in price takes a bit of a dive since that’s what the company takes into account when determining how much they’ll want for it.
