Disable automatic group select when marking up in Photos?

When I copy and paste something into an image while I'm editing it in Photos, it doesn't allow me to select one single object anymore. It selects every identical object I've pasted. Say, I draw a circle, copy it, and paste it, so I have two now. I can't just select and move one of them. They both get selected and moved together. What's going on? Is there a way for me to disable that?

iPad is treated like a computer, so why isn’t it one?

My iPad is treated like a computer by games I play. I can earn twitch drops (something the mobile platform can’t do) and it is flagged as a computer when I log in. I can hook up a keyboard and mouse and they work wonderfully. I can play desktop games in Safari. But for whatever reason I can’t use Steam or anything similar. I bloody well can, but it refuses because the download isn’t compatible. At this point Apple should just make it compatible. Is there any way I can do that myself? Like through a jailbreak or some application? This is treated as a desktop computer by everything but downloads, is there any way to fix that?

I wish iPadOS would give us the option to enable the "today view" on the home screen again. This was my favorite layout.

My iPad pro 11 is stuck on 23% charge

Been like this for two hours now, I had her on and off the charger all day and I was doing work so I didn't notice if she's been doing this all day or just started. I've looked at the input and output of the usb-c stuff and changed the accessory passcode setting to on, not sure what else I can do cause nothing looks wrong physically and I haven't dropped her or the charger in water or anything like that.

All help is appreciated

Does the iPad 10th gen have the ability to magnetically attach the Apple Pencil (or any Stylus Pen)?

I just bought an iPad 10th gen and I’m looking at getting a 3rd party Stylus Pen. I’m a bit confused at the information I’m seeing online. Can I magnetically attach the Stylus or Apple Pencil to the iPad? Or is that something that only works for the iPad Pro?

For context, I’m looking at buying this stylus for the iPad: https://a.co/d/6QM3YIp

iPad stylus options

I picked up a 10th gen iPad last week. Looking into stylus options. It'll be used for kids art drawing more than note taking. I'm not averse to the Apple accessories, I just want to know whats out there that's priced well and actually performs as needed. So not too expensive for what it is, but not $10 styluses that need to be replaced in a week or draw with the accuracy of a thumb knuckle.

Obviously there are the Apple pens. And I've looked at the Logitech Crayon which is easier for kids to hold but has some bad reviews on battery life (is that a thing?).

I also came across the Rockrose MagLink Active Capacitive Stylus Pen. Has anyone heard of it or used it?

It seems fairly well priced where I am (Australia), and it is supposed to be compatible with iPadOS 12 and up (although listings never specifically say iPad 10th gen)

Theres also one called Adonit Neo and the Office Works store brand J.Burrows 2 in 1 Stylus for around $60 AUD

So yeah, any stylus recommendations?

Why doesn’t iPad Pro M4 support the Voice Memos layering feature?

I don’t understand why the iOS 18.2 voice memo layering feature doesn’t work on iPad Pro with M4? The hardware should be more than capable for the iPad to do the same thing. Is there something special that the iPhone 16 Pro has that enables this feature that the iPad Pro is missing?

Scribble is amazing for learning languages (that it supports)

My mind is blown. I’ve been learning Japanese and using a flash cards website with learn mode. I would write the answer on my iPad notes and then type it in on Mac to see if it was right. Scribble is pretty damn accurate and I can practice vocab directly!!

Which tablet to upgrade to

Hi all, i have an ipad pro 11inch 2nd gen. Im looking to upgrade to a 13inch tablet. Will i be downgrading massively if i get the m2 ipad air? I cant justify the price tag of the m4 ipad pro currently. Also, i know this is an ipad sub, but the galaxy tab s9 ultra is on offer for the same price as the ipad air. Opinions on which i should go for? Thanks

Why did my iPad randomly start showing a foreign letter next to its name after 18.1 update?

I dont really think this counted as technical support or advice, Im not seeking a fix. Just a genuine question about something odd i noticed after doing the 18.1 update. Anyone else notice this? Just trying to determine if this is suspicious or nothing to worry about. Im going with nothing to worry bout, but i also don’t know why it shows for my iPad and not my iPhone. Any ideas?

iPad app issues or something more?

Use my iPad daily and trouble with a few apps began out of no where yesterday. Apple TV, ESPN, Disney+ and Twitch all stopped working while others such as Reddit, Safari, etc. still worked. It told me internet connection issues on the Apple TV app, even though my Apple TV is connected via Ethernet and was still working, but still reset my internet. Nothing.

Tried turning the iPad off and then on. Checked on updates for iPad itself as well as for the individual apps not working. Nothing.

Disney+ slowly loads, allows me to select a profile and then loads indefinitely again. Disney+ app on the Apple TV behaves the same was as described as the Disney+ iPad app. Thought maybe it was a Disney issue as they own a couple of these apps I’m having issues with but still doesn’t explain Apple TV app on iPad and Apple TV and Twitch is owned by Amazon.

I’ve tried Twitch on my laptop and it loads. ESPN app on my phone is working

Any one have any ideas? I’m out of them

Websites in Safari not loading

So I was about to play Wordle on my iPad (I have the page bookmarked) and I see how the blue line at the top of the pages goes from left to right, but the page is still blank and I can not open the website, no matter how many times I reload this. It does not happen on my iPhone though. Any help?

Pencil

Bought my 10 year old an iPad 10th gen, and a 1st gen Apple Pencil. I seen I need to buy an adapter, is that only for charging? And also, I see people have extra tips for them. Are the extra tips something we should have on hand at all times? Or are they extras incase they get lost?

Is the 6th gen iPad still an okay option?

I was considering buying a 9th gen during Black Friday sales, but my FIL bought a new iPad and had no need for his, so I took it from him.

After buying accessories for the 9th gen, only then did I realize it is actually a 6th gen (I’ve never owned an iPad).

I know the 6th gen is no longer being supported, but will I have a hard time using it for the next few years? I’ll mostly use it for web browsing, watching videos, spreadsheets and some other random accounting apps.

Need to decide if I should grab the 9th when they’re back in stock for $200, or return the accessories I bought and get 6th gen ones.

Logitech crayon

I have been using my logitech crayon for a long time. When my screen broke and i had it replaced, i putted a screen protector my ipad. Then it stopped working. On the corners and sides of my ipad it draws normally, in the middle it really works. Is this my screen protector or because I had my screen replaced?
