Hi everyone! Seems Vision Pro enters sleep mode after taking it off in very short time (only in a few seconds, the light on the power cable turns off), but I hope it can continue to download App, movie, original photo and etc. So my question is how to keep it active when not in use? Thank you in advance!
Apple Vision Pro, visionOS 1
I downloaded a bunch of videos a couple months ago before a long flight. I took off the AVP and kept it plugged in after starting the downloads. When I put it back on a few hours later, all the videos were downloaded. I haven’t tried it since then… does this not work for you?
Yes… all my photos also synced while I wasn’t wearing the AVP.
Many thanks for your reply David. I've got a 1TB version since I like to have all original photos&videos stored locally. They are currently all on iCloud and take ~660GB of space. I did the same thing as you mentioned but after one night I found no photo/video was synced to local storage. I thought this was due to the sleep status of Vision Pro. Now I realized that may be caused by network issue, will try it again. Your answer is very helpful. Thanks again!
Great to know!
