The haptic feedback on my track pad works intermittently. What could be the cause and the fix for this?

My track pad works but the haptic feedback has almost completely stopped working. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

Hello DangerourDanMtb,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, your haptic feedback isn't working on your Mac. We can understand why you'd reach out for a solution.


Have you checked your haptic feedback settings?


In addition to the article you tried, here is a resource that can help.


How to use the Force Touch trackpad


"Change trackpad settings

To adjust the pressure you need to click your trackpad, follow these steps.

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
  2. Click Trackpad.
  3. Click the "Point & Click" tab.
  4. Find the Click slider and adjust the slider to your preference. Note that the sound of the click changes with the click pressure setting.

To turn off Force click, deselect the “Force Click and haptic feedback” checkbox. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

A few of the examples of what you can do with a Force click only work if "Force click with one finger" is active. You enable or disable this in the "Point & Click" tab under "Look up & data detectors."

On some Mac notebooks, you can turn off the sound of your trackpad's click by selecting Silent clicking."


Cheers!
