We have a problem with my husband’s iPad when it is in the dock. The keyboard on the dock works but not the touch pad. There is no curser on the screen, and I have to use the screen touch instead. How can I fix this.
Thanks

FWIW, I don't have your iPad model. I have a 2nd generation iPad Pro with the Apple Smart Keyboard. AFAIK, the keypad on this keyboard works just like those on my Macs. I can move the cursor, using a single finger in any direction. For scrolling, you would just use two fingers, held together, to scroll up/down or left/right. LotusPilot has already sent you an excellent link to show those gestures.
Which dock are you using with this iPad? Is it the one provided by Apple or another third-party brand? What have you tried, so far yourself, to resolve this issue so that we don't offer potential solutions which may not have already worked for you?
Thank you for your response. I thought it was a problem with the dock (Apple product) connection etc. but in the meantime I went back over the obvious in settings where I found a solution. So now the dock pad does everything but scroll up or down. I do that with my finger on screen. Is that the correct way to scroll up or down? Or am I missing something.
