THE DREADED LINES... note taking/ drawing issues with Ipad air (4) and apple pencil (2)
I promise you that I have tried every troubleshooting issue I could find on the internet.
But I keep having a recurring issue where when I write or draw on my iPad I am interrupted by the glitch of long lines across the screen. This issue I know I am not alone in experiencing.
Some of the troubleshooting tips I have used are as follows:
Within the notability app:
- disconnecting apple pencil
- turning off and on again "tap and hold"
- turning off the "palm detection"
Within the Apple Settings app:
- turning off zoom
- disable "Only Draw with Apple Pencil".
- disconnect the writing device via Bluetooth. Reconnect both
The procreate app also recommends the same troubleshooting topics.
Other troubleshooting tactics:
- not charging while using (that's annoying btw)
- switching screen protector
- taking off the case to "ground" the ipad
- moving the ipad to a alternate surface
- changing apple pencil tips
- using no screen protector
- Updating Ipad entirely
- Reset factory settings
I have done everything possible to absolve my life of this and it won't stop. I purchased this ipad and loved it in the beginning-- now I have my entire life on it and what... do I switch back to the old fashioned way? I love creating on the Ipad... I wouldnt like this option very much.
Is this the generation of Ipad? Most comments online come from this Ipad era, gen 4... If so, I want my money back so I can buy a new one because I don't know what to do :(
iPad Air, iPadOS 15
