Wollte motiviert durch die #freakshow mal #UniversalControl auf Mac + iPad ausprobieren. Habe die Einstellungen (https://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?

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.

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 https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231128-use-universal-control?utm_content=buffere13de&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

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.

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.

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!

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. #UniversalControl #MacOS

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

@shayonpal But here, God created #UniversalControl for you! 😂

I absolutely love #UniversalControl for connecting up my Macs and iPads but wow is it flakey. When it works it is awesome. What is hard is when it kills the connection and/or won’t reconnect.

With the gripes, I’ll share some love.
Apple’s Universal Control is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. This is LITERALLY magic. I forgot this existed until I set my new Air next to my Studio and was thinking over a KVM solution.

Universal Control (using Mac mouse and keyboard to control an iPad)—first use case I have seen that may work for me, too: Using the iPad as an external display, but with iPad apps (which work really well on small displays).

It's nice that my Mac now recognises the iPad near to it and allows moving the not-a-mouse-pointer over to it. #UniversalControl

Universal Control is Apple’s most impressive new feature in years – But yes Apple only, and not for MacBook Airs prior to 2018
