How to use Apple Pencil: The Ultimate Guide

Posted: 02 Feb 2017 06:38 AM PST

Getting started with your Apple Pencil is incredibly easy. Here’s what you need to know!

Updated 2/1/17 to completely overhaul our ultimate guide.

The 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro are both competent tablets in their own right, but it’s the Apple Pencil that elevates those devices to true “pro” status. The Pencil gives you the power to draw and sketch with full pressure sensitivity on your iPad, along with tilt control, side shading, and proper palm rejection. It’s also an incredibly smart tool for hand-lettering and writing, letting you take notes at extremely small sizes without line aberrations or lag.

To take full advantage of the Apple Pencil, however, you need to know how to use it. Here’s our complete guide to making the most out of your stylus, whether you’re a beginning artist, average note-taker, or a total pro.

Meet the Apple Pencil

If you’ve used a stylus on the iPad or other graphics tablets previously, you’ll find some aspects of the Apple Pencil familiar — and others very different. Here’s a crash course in all things Apple Pencil for you!

First: Pair your Apple Pencil with your iPad Pro

Before you can start using your Apple Pencil, you’ll need to pair it to your iPad Pro.

Make sure the iPad you want to use is on and unlocked, then uncap your Pencil.
Plug in your Pencil to the new iPad.
When the Bluetooth Pairing Request appears, tap Pair.

You can now use your Apple Pencil with your iPad Pro! If you want to move your Pencil to a different iPad, you need only follow the above steps on the original model.

Next: Open a compatible app and get started

You don’t have to engage a special menu or complicated per-app pairing process to use Apple Pencil: Once you’ve paired it to your iPad Pro, you’re ready to draw, write, sketch, or navigate in any app you choose — just put the Pencil’s pen nib to the iPad Pro’s glass screen and get to it!

The Apple Pencil doesn’t have an eraser or special buttons — but it is fully pressure- and tilt-sensitive

Unlike Wacom’s patented styluses, the Apple Pencil doesn’t offer an eraser nib or special programmable buttons: All your primary interactions with the iPad Pro’s screen happen through the Pencil’s white nib.

That’s not to say the Pencil doesn’t have a few tricks up its sleeve, however: It’s fully pressure- and tilt-sensitive, which means you can press harder against the screen to get a thicker line, or tilt your Pencil against the screen to virtually “shade” in a drawing or draw calligraphic letters.

Some apps, like Astropad Studio, even offer special combination Pencil-and-touch gestures that have the same uses as function buttons.

You can use the Apple Pencil to navigate your iPad Pro

Whether you have RSI issues or just like being able to use a stylus on your tablet in-between drawing or writing sessions, the Apple Pencil supports basic navigational tapping and swiping within iOS. Because multitouch gestures and the Pencil are recognized separately by the iPad’s operating system, it may not be supported for advanced gesture-based navigation, like multi-finger operations, in separate apps.

There’s an upside to that, however: In certain apps (as in the aforementioned Astropad Studio), you can even use your fingers and Apple Pencil simultaneously. Notes is also a great example of this: Touch two fingers down when drawing in Notes, and you’ll get a ruler you can use to draw straight lines with the Apple Pencil.

The Apple Pencil can be used so much on the iPad Pro

Even if you’re barely familiar with sketching, handwriting, or calligraphy, you can do a lot with the Pencil and iPad Pro. Here are just some of the awesome things you can do:

Review the Apple Pencil — using the Apple Pencil itself!

How to check the battery level on Apple Pencil

The Apple Pencil doesn’t have a physical charge indicator or LED light on its cylindrical body; instead, you can check its current battery life on your currently-paired iPad Pro.

Swipe down from the iPad Pro’s top bezel to invoke Notification Center.
Tap Widgets at the top right.
Check the Batteries section on the right side.

If you don’t see the Batteries section, you may first need to tap Edit at the bottom of the Widgets area and tap the green Plus button next to Batteries to add it as an active widget.

How to charge Apple Pencil

When your Apple Pencil hits 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively, it will give you a charge warning. (You can also check your current battery status at any time by bringing up Notification Center.) Whatever your Pencil’s current battery life, you can quickly and easily charge it by either using your iPad Pro’s Lightning port, or the Lightning to USB adapter the Pencil ships with.

How to charge your Pencil with your iPad Pro

Remove the cap from your Apple Pencil. (If you’re worried about losing the cap during the charge process, you can magnetically attach it to the iPad Pro next to the Home button.)
Insert your Apple Pencil’s Lightning connector into your iPad Pro’s Lightning port.

The Apple Pencil’s quick-charge technology provides users up to 30 minutes of use after a 15-second charge, but we generally recommend plugging your Pencil in for at least 5-10 minutes — especially if it’s under 20% — to avoid having to constantly recharge.

How to charge your Pencil with the Lightning adapter

Remove the cap from the back of your Apple Pencil.
Insert your Apple Pencil’s Lightning connector into the Lightning adapter.
Plug the Lightning adapter into your Lightning cable.

How to un-pair your Apple Pencil from your iPad Pro

Your Apple Pencil will automatically un-pair from your iPad Pro if you pair it with a different iPad Pro, or you pair a different Apple Pencil with your iPad Pro. You can also manually un-pair if the need arises.

Launch the Settings app from your iPad Pro’s Home screen.
Tap Bluetooth.
Tap the Info button to the right of Apple Pencil under My Devices.
Tap on Forget.

To re-pair your Apple Pencil, simply plug it back into the Lightning port on your iPad Pro.

Apple Pencil not working? Here’s the fix!

More often than not, the Apple Pencil just works. But if you’re having an issue with Apple’s stylus not responding in apps, disappearing from Notification Center’s battery menu, or refusing to turn on, we’ve got some simple tips to help you troubleshoot it back to health.

How to put your iPhone 7 into recovery mode

Turn Off your iPhone 7 if it isn’t off already.
1. Press and hold down the On/Off button on the right side (iPhone 6 or later) or top (all other iPhones) for 3 seconds.
2. Swipe the slide to power off confirmation slider to the right.
Press and hold down the volume down button on your iPhone 7.
Plug your iPhone 7 into your Mac or Windows PC and make sure iTunes is running.
Release the volume down button when you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

How to put your iPhone or iPad into recovery mode

Turn Off your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad if it isn’t off already.
1. Press and hold down the On/Off button on the right side (iPhone 6 or later) or top (all other iPhones, iPods, and iPads) for 3 seconds.
2. Swipe the slide to power off confirmation slider to the right.
Press and hold down the Home button on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPhone.
Plug your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into your Mac or Windows PC and make sure iTunes is running.
Release the Home button when you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

Flatpack quiere revolucionar la instalación de apps en Linux con paquetes universales que funcionan en cualquier distro

Posted: 02 Feb 2017 05:09 AM PST

Flatpak

Si te suena familiar es porque se trata de algo muy parecido a los paquetes Snap de Ubuntu. Iniciativas para crear lo que serían aplicaciones universales para instalar en cualquier distribución sin tener que preocuparte por dependencias o incompatibilidades.

Flatpak es una tecnología nueva, pero no una nueva idea, ellos mismos lo admiten en su web. Está siendo desarrollada por una comunidad independiente de voluntarios de diferentes organizaciones. Su líder es el Ingeniero Jefe en Red Hat, Alex Larsson, y el código está disponible de forma abierta como cabría esperarse.

Flatpack lleva años planeándose y cada vez toma más notoriedad, antes solía llamarse xdg-app. Hoy han actualizado su sitio web para explicar mejor cómo funciona la herramienta e invitar a los usuarios a probarlo. Es una excelente alternativa para instalar paquetes en Linux de una forma sumamente sencilla, además de que crearlos también es bastante fácil. Flatpak no está atado a una sola distribución, ni a un entorno de escritorio.

Cómo funciona

Flatpak usa una tecnología de sandboxing que previene exploits y aumenta la seguridad del software frente de aplicaciones maliciosas. Al igual que los snaps, lo que esto hace es aislar el código de las apps del resto del sistema, permitiendo que las actualizaciones sean más rápidas sin necesidad de reiniciar el equipo o de preocuparse por como afecten a otra aplicaciones o procesos del sistema.

Un usuario podría instalar diferentes versiones de la misma aplicación de forma simultanea, pues cada una está como en su propio contenedor. Un desarrollador puede empaquetar y distribuir su aplicación a todas las distribuciones Linux al mismo tiempo. Flatpak ofrece una lista de dependencias estables que puedes ser usadas por las aplicaciones, y estas funcionaran en nuevas versiones de las distros tan pronto como son liberadas.

Cómo lo uso

Flatpak está disponible para la mayoría de distribuciones Linux comunes. Una vez instalado deberás reiniciar la sesión para que Flapak aparezca en tu escritorio. En su web oficial hay instrucciones de instalación para }}Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mageia, openSUSE y Ubuntu**.

En esta última y derivados deberás añadir el repositorio de Flatpak e instalar la herramienta usando la terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak

Una vez hecho eso puedes instalar cualquiera de las apps disponibles actualmente para Flatpak, como LibreOffice, Telegram, Skype, Spotify, etc. la lista no es muy larga de momento, pero más vienen en camino, como el paquete Flatpak de GIMP. En distros como Fedora 25, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian Testing y Arch Cauldron, puedes hacer click para instalar directamente desde la web de Flatpak.
