Universal Control - Mouse is not moving on Ipad

I did all the steps to activate Universal Control. I can hover over my mouse to the Ipad, use there my keyboard and even the mouse clicks works but I cannot move at all the mouse on the ipad and I cannot move it back to the Mac. I activated on the Ipad the option to see the mouse and it's locked in the center of the ipad.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hey,

I had the same problem. I restarted both my Mac and my iPad, and it worked afterward. I’m not sure which one did the trick, but I know that I haven’t experienced any problems since. Hopefully this can work for you :-)

Same here.


I'm using:


  1. Macbook pro 16 inch, 2019, i9, 5500m
  2. iPad Pro 12.9 M1
  3. Logtech MX Master 3


When I connect my mouse to my Mac and try to move the cursor to the iPad, it gets stuck on the edge. You must use the Macbook's internal trackpad or external magic trackpad to move the cursor or it's just stuck there.


It does not matter if the mouse is connect via bluetooth or Logitech Unifying receiver.


However when you connect the mouse via bluetooth to the iPad Universal works properly. You can move the cursor from iPad to the Mac.


Again, apple's own magic trackpad and the Macbook's internal trackpad does not have this issue.
