How can I trace from my IPad Air 5th generation .

I’ve been trying to sort out how to trace from my iPad Air screen on Accessibility but I think I have done this wrong as I haven’t got to the part where the picture turns grey . And also I need to make sure it freezes to and doesn’t move on my last iPad it moved .

could you help me please by telling me where I’ve gone wrong ? Many Thanks .

Artyjules-1,


We'd like to get an understanding of what you were doing before to see how we can help out. To draw on your iPad, you'd need an app like Notes, or you could mark up a photo in Photos. For example, with Notes you would use the steps below: Draw or write in Notes on iPad - Apple Support


"Draw or write in a note

  1. Start drawing or writing in the note with Apple Pencil. Or to draw or write with your finger, tap the Handwriting Tools button.
  2. Do any of the following:


The steps below cover a little more about how to Draw in apps with Markup on iPad. These steps could apply to a number of apps as long as they support Markup:


"Draw or write in apps with Markup

In the Markup toolbar, tap the pen, marker, or pencil tool, then write or draw with your finger or Apple Pencil (supported models).

Note: If you don’t see the Markup toolbar in a supported app, tap the Show Handwriting Tools button or Markup. If the toolbar is minimized, tap its minimized version.

While writing or drawing, do any of the following:

  • Change the line weight: Tap the selected drawing tool in the toolbar, then choose an option.
  • Change the opacity: Tap the selected drawing tool in the toolbar, then drag the slider.
  • Change the color: Choose a color from the color picker in the Markup toolbar.
  • Undo a mistake: Tap the Undo button.
  • Draw a straight line: Tap the ruler tool in the toolbar, then draw a line along the edge of the ruler.
    • To change the angle of the ruler, touch and hold the ruler with two fingers, then rotate your fingers.
    • To move the ruler without changing its angle, drag it with one finger.
    • To hide the ruler, tap the ruler tool in the toolbar again."


We hope that helps! Take care.

Hello Artyjules-1,


Can you tell us which app you are using? Also, are you referring to being able to track the device using Find My on the iPad or are you attempting to use a drawing app that is not allowing you to trace a picture?


If you are trying to track the device using the Find My app, then the steps below that are listed here: Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support will help.


See the location of your device on a map

You can see your device’s current or last known location in the Find My app.

Tap Devices at the bottom-left side of the screen, then tap the name of the device you want to locate.

• If the device can be located: It appears on the map so you can see where it is.
• If the device can’t be located: You see “No location found” under the device’s name. Under Notifications, turn on Notify When Found. You receive a notification once it’s located.

Important: Make sure you allow notifications for the Find My app. See Change notification settings on iPad.

For troubleshooting steps, see the Apple Support article If Find My iPhone is offline or not working.

Best regards
