Wollte motiviert durch die #freakshow mal #UniversalControl auf Mac + iPad ausprobieren. Habe die Einstellungen (support.apple.com/de-de/102459) vorgenommen.

Wenn ich bei den Display-Einstellungen auf + klicke, kann ich das Display auf das iPad nur spiegeln oder erweitern. Andere Optionen werden nicht angezeigt. Woran kann das liegen?

Das scheint ein Problem zu sein:
* mit DE Tastatur und Sprache Englisch (Arbeitgeber blockiert noch das Upgrade auf 15
* mit DE Tastatur und Sprache Englisch
Wenn ich auf dem iPad über vom Mac aus tippe, denkt das iPad es wäre eine englische Tastatur und produziert Buchstabensalat.

MacOS Universal Control is frustrating. When it works it is fantastic, but it has a whole host of issues.

It will lose track of the neighboring computer between typing one letter and the next.

Sometimes the neighboring computer grabs the pointer, preventing any input on the controlling computer.

Usually opening the Displays settings panel (one one or both PCs) is enough to restore connectivity.

Sometimes it repeats a letter over and over until you hit ESC.

As far as Universal Control on business Macs and devices, I looked at that last year following WWDC

One major improvement is that the Managed Apple ID now works with Apple’s Continuity system; that makes it possible to work across devices with features such as Handoff, Sidecar, Universal Control, and copying and pasting.

If you use a Mac and an iPad at the same time, Universal Control allows you to control both devices from a single keyboard and mouse or trackpad. Here we’ll show you this convenient feature. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #macos #ios #productivity #universalcontrol devontechnologies.com/blog/202

Today I Learned that the mouse/trackpad sharing across Macs/iOS devices (called Universal Control) still works while applying an update… neat!

A nice addition to #iPadOS would be the use of #FaceID to authenticate or unlock a connected #Mac linked to the #iPad via #UniversalControl. It’s not quite FaceID for the Mac, but would be pretty close, and more seamless than #TouchID.

Now firmly convinced that this Presonus Quantum 4848 is a total waste of money. The error occurring now is that their Universal Control software doesn't recognize the device. And yet it's working just fine - outputs are all functioning normally, inputs are all functioning normally. And why does it show up in the Universal Control interface if there's an issue??? Seriously, getting the Apogee interface is now a top priority for me.

The error message I'm getting from Universal Control: "Quantum 4848 is unresponsive. Please turn your device off and then on again."Checking for a firmware update for the Quantum, response is that the firmware is already up-to-date.Checking that the installed version of Universal Control is up-to-date, and indeed it is.

A little while ago, I posted a compliant about #UniversalControl on my #MacMini and #iPad, and how it kept dropping my connection regularly without any rhyme or reason. @alrescha suggested that I may be dealing with interference from either Wifi or bluetooth.

This weekend I rearranged some stuff on my desk and gave my computer a direct line of sight to the iPad. I’m happy to report that the connection has been solid/stable since.

Thanks, @alrescha!

I enjoy being in the #Apple ecosystem. I like it when things just work together. The majority of the applications and services in the ecosystem work together falwlessly. With this in mind, can someone explain to me why #UniversalControl fails so regularly?

I’ve updated, rebooted, changed networks, etc. It simply doesn’t work as expected. It just disappears from my display as an option, until for no reason, it simply shows back up again unexpectedly and without any interaction from me.

#macos feature request: make #universalcontrol work when 2 accounts are logged in on the Mac. I get very frustrated when I can’t use it because my wife is logged in and I get frustrated with her telling me how long it takes to do anything when she logs in to the Mac for the first time when logged out.

If I couldn't be any more impressed with Universal Control on the Mac, I just discovered that when focussing on my iPad screen, the media and volume controls on the Mac's keyboard, control the iPad instead.

Seriously, how awesome is that!

Nicht nur die #Wetter-App kämpft unter #iOS 16.4 mit Aussetzern, auch #UniversalControl und #Handoff scheinen für einige Nutzer und Nutzerinnen nicht richtig zu funktionieren. Im #Apple Support-Forum haben sich zahlreiche User gemeldet, die die genannten Funktionen gar nicht mehr oder nur eingeschränkt nutzen können.

Wie sieht es bei euch aus, macht iOS 16.4 bei euch auch Probleme?

Family gathering.
Needed two computers.
Brought up my second Mac.

Universal Control made life HILARIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE as both tried controlling each other.

Mac OS's Universal Control is freaking magic. The Mac can detect what side the iPad is on and extend the display with 0 configuration. That's nuts.

Hmmm, now that I have an iPad, I may just need to do some experimenting. 🤔

@jens #UniversalControl sucks big time when an external non-Apple keyboard and/or mouse is connected via Bluetooth. Such are God's powers 🤷‍♂️​
