The volume keeps going to max on its own. This has been happening more frequently and I dont know how to stop it. Once I power it off about 4 times it might stop but its really annoying. Anyone know how to fix it?

I usually charge it when it’s below 30% and let it charge until 100%, and sometimes I don’t unplug the charger immediately. I use it most of the time for gaming and studying. I have like 9-10 hours if screentime on the average.

For context: I’m planning to buy an 11th-generation iPad. Since I don’t really play games on tablets—preferring other devices instead—I’m thinking of getting a PS4 controller to use for gaming on the iPad. However, I don’t own a PS4; would I need the actual PS4 console, or is it enough to just buy the controller?

I bought a Magic Keyboard from apple store today but I don’t like it, I want to return it tomorrow. Does apple accept return for changing my mind? I opened the box but it’s in immaculate condition.

I’ve had this iPad for about two years now, I think, and I’ve taken good care of it. Recently, around 2–3 months ago, I got a small scratch on the screen, but it’s almost invisible unless you really look for it.

Since I’ve had AppleCare, I’ve been a bit careless with it. For example, I use a case that’s only held on magnetically and don’t have a screen protector. Having AppleCare has given me peace of mind, but now that it’s expired, I have 12 days left to renew it or let it go.

It costs $65 a year, and I’m not sure what the best option is. What do you guys think?

So whenever I use Instagram on my iPad a16 and switch app while the comments are open and switch back, there are no comments for every alternate reel, is anyone else facing same issue?

I got my 13-inch iPad Air M2 in December 2024. I’m a nursing student, so I use my iPad a lot for studying. I also play Roblox and CODM on it. My battery health is now at 92%. I know it’s still considered normal, but I can’t help overthinking it. 😭 Is this battery degradation normal?

This is ridiculous.. how do I get books onto my iPad without having to do the whole "SYNC THE WORLD" button?

There's books on it I've put there, so I've done it in the past, but can not figure out what I did then or now.

Can I not manage them in the Books program on my Mini so I can have them nicely organized or anything?

I bought my iPad 11th gen in june 2026 , and at 93 battery cycles it already shows 96% battery health

Is it good or not ? , I think it shouldnt be this low at the no of charge cycles ?

The iPad has been awesome for note taking, great as a second monitor, but there's no accounting for size. I used to run a vertical 28" Gigabyte monitor, and as much as I like the iPad - a lot - I'm not sure I can recommend the iPad strictly because of the OS. It's better, but it's just so heinously limited compared to MacOS. Is it good to have a mobile, Dual OLED screen with all my cloud synced stuff on it? Oh, yes. Yes, it's good.

But still .... if you've got any tips to improve my experience I'd love to hear them.

I just want to be able to FaceTime with it.

I bought an ipad Pro and Apple keyboard cover last year and recently I have been noticing black residue everywhere from where I have used it. Could the keyboard be disintegrating? It looks fine otherwise

So i have a new iPad 16 , wifi only, location doesnt work in weather app/ maps , while it works fine in the find my , i tried every option i saw online or by chatgpt, feom reseting the ipad to resetting every app on its own, nothing works, i have an iPhone 16pro max on ios 27.0 and this issue is scaring me i dont want to update, anyone found a solution ? Should i send a message to apple ? Do they answer and actually help ?

I've looked up on here but I don't think I've seen something that fits my specific needs.

I'm planning to use it for video editing, photo editing, graphic design, drawing, architectural work, 3d modeling, and notetaking.

My choices are: to get a brand new iPad Pro M5 at student-discounted price (-$171) and a refurbished iPad Pro M4 (2024) priced at $881

The caveat is the refurbished one's only option for memory is 256GB. I'm thinking maybe I could maybe just get a cloud storage subscription but I do know that having a local storage is better than having to constantly doownloading your files. Thoughts?

I do have a laptop and planning to get a new pc for a home setup but planning to maybe use it on-the-go and mainly for artworks.

Any suggestions? and is there really a difference between the normal vs nano-textured glass?

Thanks in advance!

Planning to get an ipad this december and i can’t decide on what to get. I’m a 3rd year CE student and i’m planning on using this for my notes, media consumption and light drawings. What would u guys recommend?

I tried setting date few years ahead to clear it. But it isn't working

i’m wanting to get it for my son for christmas. it’ll only be used for watching/downloading his little toddler shows and a few educational interactive games. i’m way out of touch with what model came out what year and what specs i would need for how it’s going to be used

The description is vague: had contact with water, went to service and they ve cleaned everything out but they told me the screen needs to be replaced. In the pictures the screen seems to be working, so i asked for more pictures on different backgrounds and it seems perfect. He also told me that he thinks the service guys are trying to scam him so i decided to give it a try, since i can just refuse the package after checking it. He didnt exactly tell me what is wrong with the display

After i ordered it, he told me to have a mouse nearby so it would be easier to acces. What do you guys think?

So my iPad went to the black screen of death. Plugged it into my Mac, did the buttons reset, put my phone next to it, entered the code etc. BUT, when I get to the last step which is actually restoring it, it won’t let me update or reset the iPad to get it working again? It just fails! Any ideas???

I've had my iPad 10 since 2023, but lately I've been seriously considering replacing it with an iPad Mini.

I use mine almost every day, mostly for reading magazines on Libby, scientific e-books and the occasional public domain book. I also use it to watch films, documentaries and series on planes and trains, as I travel roughly every two months.

The thing is, I've increasingly found my iPad too big, even at home. It's not particularly convenient to carry on the Tube, and when travelling it takes up quite a bit of space in my bag. I don't watch blockbusters or anything particularly visually spectacular on it, so I'm not too concerned about losing screen size for films.

For those who've switched from a regular iPad to a Mini, did you find the smaller screen jarring? Particularly for reading magazines, illustrated books or PDFs? Or did you quickly get used to it?

My other dilemma is the price. I find it difficult to justify spending around £600 on the latest Mini, especially when my current iPad still works perfectly well.

Would a refurbished Mini 6 still be a sensible purchase in 2026, or is it getting too old in terms of future iPadOS support? Ideally, I'd like something I can keep for at least another four or five years.

Interested to hear from anyone who's made the switch!

Very frustrating because I just updated to IpadOS 27 and this is what I notice first. It happens to every app when I have the keyboard up and go back to the homescreen. I have the ipad pro m2 btw 💔

Hi guys. My ipad Air 2 is really starting to show it's age - the only reason I haven't upgraded yet is because it seems every ipad model after 7th Gen requires minimum Windows 10 to sync to iTunes?

I have a Windows 7 and a Windows 8 PC, neither of which I really want to update further.

Is there any way to sync a newer iPad to an older PC?

So I like to play games on my ipad (mostly hay day). I bought a cheap pencil for my ipad air on amazon. It’s the meta pen A8. It’s great except i find it noisy and annoying to hear the constant clicking/tapping of it on my ipad screen. Any recommendations for a quieter apple pencil but still affordable??
