iPads require 2000 mA or more, far in excess of what a conventional USB port can offer. If you happen to have a charging port (lightning bolt logo and yellow connector) use that, otherwise self-powered hub it is.
Also, Meg is right and fuck Apple and their overpriced, anti-consumer bullshit. "It's not what you have, it's how you market it" and they're living proof of that. Mac OS is good though.

No. Probably comes from the fact that I basically operate under the assumption that everyone on the internet is really a single Chinese bot codenamed Dennis, Dennis.

Well, the amount of automated spam I have to delete from the moderation queue every day seems to agree.

Yes, he got that right! I gave up on all mobile Apple products years ago...
(Jailbreaks, unlockings... all garbage.) :alien:

Very good. Apparently he's active on Reddit; posted that picture from one of his early concert tours... I did not remember him having such a baby face.

Turns out it was the adapter. Ended up buying a cable with a USB-C plug and a regular USB plug on the ends, and all my problems went away... of course the port is not charging the device, but that was not my ultimate goal. I just wanted to be able to connect to iTunes so I can backup/restore my data and sync my music.

Points to J-Dye for never wearing ecru. Or stalking anyone other than this forum.

Ackshually, Apple stuff is pretty nice. macOS is leaps and bounds cleaner than Windows for more things than I can name. Windows continues to feel so clunky and... boxy. Stale and old. Utilitarian even. I had a mid-2015 MacBook Pro and just decided to buy the new M1 MacBook Air and it is freakishly fast. It's also a nice bonus how MacBooks hold their value. I sold that Mid-2015, almost 6 year old laptop for $800!
Whenever I get a new computer or laptop there are subtle changes in speed increases but they aren't necessarily identifiable improvements, rather the whole machine just feels a bit faster and fresh in general. Not with the new M1 tho. Apps open instantaneously. It's quite impressive. So these days I have my own MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro which is work issued, and a nice Windows rig that at this point, is used exclusively for long term file storage and games. You just can't beat the MacBook imo for an awesome everyday user experience.
I don't think I'm anywhere close to getting off the Windows teat completely tho. That utilitarian aspect is great. It's definitely cheaper to have a Windows machine nearby for file storage and such.
