    Inconsistent tap behavior into inactive window

    I just noticed something really strange on my new (to me) 16" M1 Max MBP running MacOS Sequoia 15.2. When tapping into an inactive window with the trackpad, sometimes the tap actually does something in that window, and sometimes it just makes the window active. This only seems to happen when...

    Resolved Does anyone know the PEAK Charging Wattage of the USB-C TO LIGHTNING that comes with TRACKPAD MODEL #1535?

    What is the MAXIMUM Wattage charge peak for this cable? I really hate that apple doesn't specify the peak charging cable of the woven or braided cable that comes with the Trackpad. I actually own one and its brand new and it came with the cable, But it wont show the MAXIMUM WATTAGE CHARGING...

    Frustrating apple repair experience with MBP - is this typical?

    I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here. I brought my wife's 2019 Macbook Pro in for a battery replacement and mentioned that the trackpad doesn't "click" anymore, but still works otherwise. It's as if the "force touch" setting is turned off in system preferences but otherwise...

    Has the MacBook Pro (M-Series) 16" TrackPad click become louder?

    Hey folks, I am a big fan of setting the TrackPad click volume to a minimum. Some older devices offered the "silent clicking" setting which unfortunately disappeared for the newer models. Currently, I am testing a M3 Max MacBook Pro 16.2" and find the minimal clicking volume of the Trackpad...

    Will Magic keyboard and trackpad be upgraded to USB-C?

    I just bought a Magic Keyboard and trackpad almost two weeks ago. However, I am kind of regretting it just because they might be updated to USB-C at the "Scary fast" event. If there are new iMacs, the keyboard and trackpad/mouse that comes with it will most likely be updated to USB-C (we have...

    MacBook Pinch to Zoom/Trackpad in preview bug

    Hi, I’ve noticed that when zooming in on a JPEG with the preview app using pinch to zoom on the trackpad the zooming is very glitchy and not smooth at all. Eventually it stops working completely. This doesn’t appear to be as big an issue during quick look but when the photo is opened in the...

    Coarse trackpad on 15in MBA?

    I've had this 15in MacBook Air for over a week now and I'm having a hard time with the trackpad because it's not smooth to use like my M1 MBA or any other Macbook I've tried at the Apple Store. The trackpad feels "coarse" or "sticky" almost which makes it a displeasure to use. It requires...

    USB-C multitouch trackpad for iPad Pro

    For a specific use case, I would need a USB-C multitouch touchpad for iPad Pro. Does anyone know if there are any other options than the Magic Trackpad using wired USB connection? Apple documentation is not clear whether such device must be MFi-compliant, or if a generic multitouch touchpad...

    Weird scrolling bug (MBP 16in M1 Max)

    I've been experiencing a weird scrolling "thing". Basically, after I've scrolled using the trackpad and just as I lift my fingers, the MBP will scroll a little more. It jumps up or down a few more lines. It's not a huge thing and initially I wondered if I was imagining it. But I have now...

    Migrating from Mouse to Trackpad

    Is the Magic Trackpad as easy as to use the mouse ? Or better ? Right now, with my external monitor at 2560 x 1440 and the MBP's screen on the left, navigating the mouse pointer across screens is longer process - so was wondering if the Trackpad simplifies this ? Would I be able to click and...

    Trackpad no longer clicks on my 2017 12" MacBook

    I can no longer click by pushing down on the trackpad. Moving the cursor works fine, and I can get a click by hovering over where I want to click and then tapping. If I'm correct, the trackpad doesn't actually "push" mechanically, right? It's all haptic feedback. Or am I wrong about this? I...

    Broken swiping in Chrome on M1 MBP

    Hey guys, I recently bought a 14" M1 MBP (2021) and I'm generally happy with it. There is this one strange issue though. When scrolling up or down a page with a two-finger swipe, every now and then a swipe doesn't register at all. I just made a video of scrolling down the MacRumors homepage –...

    Drag a window with gesture?

    The space where a window is draggable (=basically empty space in menubar) seems to have shrunken for years now. I like how window title bars and menubars have been merged over the years to make better use of the vertical screen estate. But tbh I feel this makes it challenging at times to find a...

Randomly, the pinch-to-zoom and swipe back gestures stop working. Force touch also stops working during that time. For the very limited...
