I'm a proud SP4 user - it's still my main work computer. I do lots of teleconferences and webinars and I'm wondering what people find is the best set of ear phones or ear buds for the Surface. I use the latest Apple ear pods and they're OK but I can't use the controls to mute or to change the...

Thanks very much for this solution! iPhone put an apostrophe in my iPhone name and once I got rid of that I was able to tether. Awesome! Jesse

Great, thanks for the link!

Thanks again! I have Windows auto-update enabled on the Surface and I just force updated my Office365 apps. Is there a way to specifically check if I have these updates or should I just get the Dial and try it out?

Thanks very much for the reply. I notice the list of apps with extra features for the Dial includes Office Win32 version apps - does this mean my 64 bit versions will not have these extra features? And did you have to get any extra Windows version or patch to use the Dial or does it work with...

I'm interested in getting the Dial. The main applications I use with my Surface are Office 365 and the Adobe Creative Suite. Can anyone tell me how well the Dial works with these apps on the SP4, as well as other apps most people use? Thanks! Jesse

That's what I do now, and it's dog slow and unreliable. Most days I cannot use iTunes - I have to shut down and restart iTunes until it works and sometimes I need to reboot the SP4. I've used external drives on many laptops and computers but never had a performance/reliability issue until the...

Hi, folks. I use my SP4 (16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD) as my main work computer but one place it's lacking is disk space. I have lots of external USB drives I use with the SP4 but I would love to have more internal disk space. Right now I have the 128 GB external drive which is good but I would love...

I finally got this working at the full 1920X1080 resolution by buying a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable. Anything else, any other combination of cables and adapters resulted in either poor resolution or in the monitor not being recognized by the Surface Pro. And by the way, the reason...

I know there are many other external monitor issue threads but I searched and couldn't find anything on this particular issue so ... I am trying to connect a Dell P2214 1080p monitor to my SP4 through the newer Microsoft Surface Dock. The Dell only has VGA. DVI-D and regular or larger...

My SP4 has the Anniversary update queued for install tomorrow morning at 7:15 AM unless I do it now or block it. I've seen reports of bugs, some apparently fatal like lost data or the machine being unusable unless you rollback to a previous version. What's the consensus here about Anniversary...

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually found I could increase the size of the items in the screen if I increased scaling to 250 and even 300%.

So newer monitors like these have their own scaling, and you can set the SP4 to one level of scaling and the monitor to another?

I'm loving my Surface Pro 4 but at my age (55) the small screen is really tough for lots of things, especially some programs (Lotus Notes, WebEx, etc.) that for some reason display in extremely small fonts on the SP4. So this week I'm definitely going to get an external monitor for my home...

I used to use a 3rd gen iPad heavily and at the local Brookstone I found a padded black leather folio cover that I absolutely loved (pictures below). It was light and felt very comfortable in the hand and it provided a LOT of padding - when I dropped my iPad onto concrete or asphalt or...

You're never seen my lap! :)

84 inches? I guess this is an iPad Pro killer! :) Microsoft's giant Surface Hubs finally ship

I have lots of the same issues with my SP4/16GB/512GB. When I pick up the device in the morning or take it out of the sleeve when I'm about to give a presentation or teach a class or take notes it's always a mystery what it's going to do when I hit the power button. Sometimes nothing and I...

Do you recommend anything in particular? My issue is that the library takes up so much space - would a different media program alleviate that?

Thanks again for everyone's replies! Does anyone have a favorite tool for testing drive access speed times?
