Re: Power problem
I actually started with a licence for DiskAid before it got rebranded to iMazing. I use it for the "few other things" and I have both iMazing for Mac and iMazing for Windows, but I never looked for a

Re: Power problem
It has been a year or two but I used a free trial of the app iMazing. It does a few other things, but I only used it to check battery health. Have to download it to and connect your iPad to another

Re: Power problem
I will try the "free" version. I don't mind actually paying for "perpetual" licences. It is the dreaded "subscription" i.e. renting that I don't like. AG Thursday, July 27, 2023, 11:38:46 AM, Otto

Re: Power problem
I read through the homepage of coconutBattery and I see many mentions of ¡°iOS,¡± which appear to refer to both iPhones and iPads. This is a fair approach in my book. I don¡¯t see any mention of

Re: Reliable sources of used computers.
Amazon is a purveyor for other retailer. They don¡¯t provide warranties, and you do not know how good any repair work is. Good with a tech retailer like Best Buy, OWC (get on their email list, they
