People usually lose one airpod, that’s why it’s priced that way, or they lose the case somewhere. Applecare loss coverage is only going to be available on phones since they can be located on a cell network and have their IMEI blacklisted

So sounds like my best bet is to just buy a new pair and get new AppleCare? I am for sure getting one of those cases that lets you attach an AirTag

priznat posted:Anyone have a recommendation for a clampable iPad holder so I can watch my iPad Pro (12.9”) lying in bed? Something that won’t drop it on my face. Most options in amazon seem to go up to 10.5” iPads. I'm guessing you mean something to clamp to the headboard? I don't have one of those, but if a floor stand would work, I got this one to put next to my recliner and like it: https://www.amazon.com/Height-Adjustable-Rotating-Gooseneck-Attachable-12-9-inch/dp/B00HFRYAGQ/ It looks like the same company does have a clamp version with the same part for holding the tablet: https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-PAD-HGT-Heavy-Duty-Gooseneck/dp/B06X9SFLXB (I should note I have the 11" iPad Pro so can't speak specifically to using the 12.9" in it, but it says it takes tablets up to 13" so it should be fine.).

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I know this isnt the "Airpod Pro" thread, but Its applecare and I figure you guys probably know anyway. Do you have an iphone 12/13 and had the airpods firmware updated recently (would have been behind the scenes)? Because the find my device will now show you the exact location with the device, it's pretty neat. I think if it is out of your range if another iphone has passed nearby it might give you an update. Worth a shot if you haven't already tried. It's pretty comparable to an AirTag as far as I know. CaptainCaveman posted:I'm guessing you mean something to clamp to the headboard?

Thanks! also will have a look at the music supply option. Definitely would prefer clamping to a headboard.

In the meantime I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Designed-Airpods-Keychain-Protection/dp/B098R823VX But I'll return it if Apple has added similar functionality. I can definitely say for sure that none of my devices could find the airpods until I found them first and opened the case. Then all my devices lit up with "Airpods found!!" but thats pretty useless because it took me finding them first for my phone and ipad to find them.

Yeah exactly that, it auto updated on mine then I got a notification I had left them behind (when I left them at home) and was like whoa what happen?? It is really cool now it can locate them to 1m even individual earbuds by using the directional finder. I think only iPhone supports that and not any iPad though (for thread content  )

The case I use for my Air4 has a slot on the edge for the magnetic pencil holder/charger, but it also has an elastic pocket on the back that you can slip the pencil into. Doesn't charge there, but it's held more securely and there's less risk of it getting knocked loose. It's this one here: https://www.amazon.com/ZUGU-CASE-Model-Alpha-Case/dp/B08LF2PYV7. A bit expensive, but I really like the adjustable angles of the stand and the overall construction.

Later in the day, after I purchased them, I found them in the pocket of some jeans sitting on my dresser. I was able to return the AirPods but not the AppleCare. I considered the $30 bucks lost as my idiot tax. Hopefully now that the Find My stuff is more useful this kind of thing won't happen.

A cool side note is that the dumb little coin pocket on a lot of khakis/chinos fits the AirPods case perfectly, it rules.

GreenBuckanneer posted:is there a thread suggestion for third party keyboard/mice that don't require AAA/AA batteries? But yeah it's a big price premium. Alternatively there's a bunch of other random brand keyboards that might feel solid, although I have questions about support and quality control and such with them. quote:Anyone have suggestions for BT mouses for an iPad? I see bestbuy has both the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S for $40... seems like that could be a good deal? Main issue is that the ideal for iPad is a multitouch trackpad. Like you can map various stuff to a mouse to make it more useful (beyond left/right click and scroll), but only if you also turn on Assistive touch, which leaves a little virtual home button like thing on screen. Are any third party trackpads usable like the Magic Trackpad? Does Logitech make a standalone one that works like it, or just in their iPad keyboard+trackpad thing?

I purchased another pair along with AppleCare. Later in the day, after I purchased them, I found them in the pocket of some jeans sitting on my dresser. So I tested this out yesterday and it works but not like you’d want it to. What find my AirPods does is note the last place you opened your airpod case. Which is somewhat useful if it’s still in the same place where you opened if, but if you open it and then move it, it’s pretty useless I tested it by using them at my office, then when I went home (AirPods in my pocket) and used Find My, it said they were at my office when in reality they were two feet from my phone in my pocket That AirTag AirPods case should deliver today and I think that’s what I’m going to rely on to find them should I lose them again.

How long are replacement gift cards supposed to take to be e-mailed? I traded in an 8th gen iPad to the Apple Store, ordered a new Mini, cancelled it because I noticed it was the wrong storage, now I'm waiting on that card and I've been told 1-2 days, called Apple on day 2, got told 3-5, called on day 5 and then told "wait until day 6". Kinda driving me insane and not great CS... Should I just go back to the store or something or does it take 5-7 days?

Is there a calendar app besides Fantastical that has a widget that shows month calendar + calendar events + reminders? I didn't think this would be some obscure thing, but other ones I've tried seem to at most do 2 of the 3 on one widget.

Yeah, the iPad Air 4 is my first iPad I've ever used, coming from Android, and I'm really grumpy about each app being sandboxed from everything else. I've never got any viruses or malware on the android ecosystem. It grinds my gears since I consider myself in general a "power user" and don't end up liking it when software keeps me from doing what I want. But, I still like the ipad, it's just kind of backwards to me for things I consider "normal"

Is there a coloring app for use with the pencil that isn't in-app-purchase hell, or "tap to fill in the whole section" easy? There was an app for the Microsoft surface that I loved that was literally just traditional coloring, pick your colors, fill in the shapes. Super relaxing and a good way to unwind. Everything on the app store I can find doesn't seem to fit the bill, either being IAP central, or weirdly simple. I'm willing to pay for an app, but I can't seem to find one.

bobfather posted:Install iCloud for Windows, drop files into that folder, now you’re done? Again, iCloud doesn't let you mark folders for offline use on the iPad (that functionality is in the Windows application though). I want to be able to get things done when I don't necessarily have internet access. Google Drive would technically work, but I'd rather not pay $15 a month to put 300GB of PDFs for personal/academic use in the cloud when I really just need them on my desktop and my ipad. I found an iPad app called FileBrowser Pro that connects to SMB shares and syncs that way. It's slow, but it fits my use case perfectly. Most of this only needs to sync once and then just watch for additions thereafter, anyway.
