Got a new iPad Air, but when I plug it into my computer to sync with iTunes, I get a Win10 error message about a power surge on my USB port. Windows shuts down the USB port, which means iTunes never sees the iPad and, in the eternal words of Seinfeld: No sync for me.

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.

There's no way you don't remember Dave, he was basically J-Dye with a revenge agenda and good grammar.

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.)

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.

The fact that I can't remember any of these people or what they did while on this site is the best thing that's happened to me today.

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

Have you tried not getting an Apple product?

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.
