Apple mouse pointer does not move from mac mini to ipad
Both devises have updated operating systems. Both devices are toggled to allow the mouse to be shared between them. But the pointer is stuck on the mac mini.

Hi Iclasticons,
It sounds like you have the settings correct to share your mouse, but make sure the devices also meet these requirements:
"Additional requirements
- Each device must be signed in with the same Apple ID using two-factor authentication. Universal Control does not support Managed Apple IDs.
- Each device must be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other and have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Handoff turned on.
- Your iPad must not be sharing its cellular connection and your Mac must not be sharing its internet connection."
You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here: Universal Control: Use a single keyboard and mouse between Mac and iPad - Apple Support
If you have followed the steps correctly and you still have the issue, let us know if you get any specific alerts or error messages when trying, as those may help us determine what might be causing the issue.
We also recommend restarting your devices to assure you have cleared out any minor software issues.
