when using a hub connected to a 2021 iPad Pro's USB C port (while using Magic Keyboard), will charging through the magic keyboard with a 65 watt charger suffice for what the hub peripherals need, or should I run the apple 30 watt charger through the magic keyboard's charging port, and run a second power cable with another charger to my hub's USB C power port that's directly connected to the iPad USC C port? I want to make sure my iPad has enough wattage to support the hub peripherals and not...
two Apple ID user on one HomePod mini home hub ?
I don't have any of these devices (Set up HomePod, HomePod mini, or Apple TV as a home hub ) so my question is, can I use Alexa for my home pod?

I have a new iPad Pro 11 inch that I keep in a case to protect it. I have been looking for a hub with a usb c extension (to keep it in the case) that has audio, usb and hdmi hookups. Although I’ve found some prospects, I would still need a way to charge the iPad while using the adapter. Is there a way to do this without the expense of purchasing a docking station?...

Where are the speakers located on the 24" iMac? I have a Satechi usb/card reader attached directly to the center bottom of my iMac and it looks really cool, but I can't tilt the screen forward because the screw in the back of the USB Hub is hitting against the stand. So I'd like to move it slightly to the right so the screw in back just missed the stand. Will I be covering up any of the bottom speakers, or are they located further out towards the bottom edge of the 24" imac?...

Since updating to ios15 on my iPhone and tvos15 on my apple TV my automations (turn lights on when arrive home, turn off when leaving) have stopped working. I've rebooted internet router/modem, apple TV ( hub ), deleted and redone the automations in the home app, rebooted by Sylvania smart bulbs, all multiple times in various orders. Essentially, I've employed all the standard fixes. Upon searching, this appears to be a widespread problem since ios15 was released. All of my devices are running...
I recently set a macmini 2018 to run a Monitor through HDMI and and an extended monitor through SVGA. The HDMI is plugged directly into the Mini. The SVGA goes into a Hub through Thunderbolt 3 (USBC). Here is the issue I am having. When I shut the mini down. Come back later and start up. I have to unplug everything but the HDMI monitor to get a monitor to show up. I can then plug everything back in once it has booted up and works fine. I have had Macs since 1985 or so. This is the first one...
I have a Level Lock connected to HomeKit. I want my HomePod Mini to be the hub that allows me to control the lock or others i authorize to control it. I can lock the device from HomePod Mini no issue. However when I ask Homepod mini siri to unlock it demands i continue form my personal device (iphone). I've tried resetting, turning personal requests on/off. Nothing fixes this. Unfortunately when in HomeKit, Homepod mini settings and turning on personal requests I do not even see settings...

I’ve iPad Pro M1. I’ve been trying to connect my passport WD 2TB HDD via OTG cable with no luck. The hard disk is turning on, the light is lit and I can feel the vibrations. Yet not showing in the locations column of files app. The hard disk is formatted in exFAT format. I’ve restarted my iPad, updated it to iPad OS 15.5, no luck. I’m able to connect the hard disk with the same OTG to my android phone and I’m getting access there, so that essentially rules out the problem with the cable and OTG....

I keep getting this error message "Time Machine couldn't back up to 'Time Machine.'" OS Monterrey 12.4, latest. I'm using a Seagate Backup Hub Plus external drive and it has been performing backups perfectly but I'm now getting close to the 6 TB limit of storage (5.945 used) and no matter what I do it will not add any new backups, even though it's supposed to delete the oldest backup. So, here's my question: Isn't TM supposed to delete the earliest backups to make room for the latest backup...
Can an iPad mini 6 stand a 61w MacBook charger?
Hello there, I’m planning to sell my MacBook Pro M1 to get an iPad Pro 12.9 for more portability and touch screen. I mainly use it for casual photo editing and browsing and movies once a while. My worry is will I be able to import raw files from SD card to the Lightroom app in the iPad? Can I also connect my external hard disk to view files in iPad? Could somebody help me find answers for these. Thanks a ton...
I figured a dedicated mini-USB to USB-C cable would be a waste of $10. I guess in the future it might work with a USB-C to USB-A hub or dock, and I can try that out later. But when I plugged it in my wife was a bit impatient and when it asked what to do, the default was to just open Finder she clicked on that immediately. I believe one of the options was to open DVD Player, but I can't seem to get back to that. I think it's easy enough to just install VLC to watch DVDs, but I'm not sure how it's...

MacOS Monterey 12.2.1 / MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) / Apple M1 Pro I have two additional monitors (BenQ PD2725U Displays) and the multiple display setup works fine. On display #3 there are three "Desktops" each devoted to a different app. After the system wakes from sleep, the Desktops from #3 all switch to display #2, and all the application windows on display #3 migrate to display #1. It's disruptive and time-wasting to have to re-set my workflow configuration every time. I've resorted to disa...
that would ship the day after (May 18th) would be the Apple pencil. Fast forward to May 18th, I received a text message from Apple telling me that they've shipped my order. I immediately headed over to the concierge/reception to ask for my package, as I did not receive an email from the Amazon Hub telling me that I have a package inside a locker to pickup (the front desk is also a place where delivery men would drop off packages). To my surprise, reception couldn't seem to locate the package. Puzzled...
