iPad locking when used as extended MacBook display
Using:
- Macbook Air M2
- iPad Air 4
Problem:
- As above.
- Anything that was being used on the extended display (iPad) is forced back over to the MBA.
- Sometimes it auto-locks within a few seconds, a few minutes, or a few hours.
- Cannot determine the cause.
Can confirm that:
- Both MBA and iPad are using the same AppleID and WiFi network.
- Have the same problem when connecting the devices together via USB.
- Are both on the latest OS at time of writing (MacOS Monterey 12.4 and iPad OS.
- Have been restarted.
- Batteries are fully charged.
- iPad auto-lock (both: after x minutes, and when case is closed) are both disabled.
- No automations running.
- No error messages appearing on either device.
- Each device is being used every couple of minutes, as I migrate my tasks from one screen to the next.
- No other devices/users are sharing the AppleID, WiFi network, or USB connection.
Unsure if related:
- Sometimes, when unlocking the iPad: the padlock will animate to show device is unlocked, but the screen remains on the lock screen.
Help would be appreciated! Thanks
