Trackpad non-responsive to pinching / specific gestures Hi all, Since updating to MacOS Ventura, I was occasionally experiencing buggy trackpad that did not respond to certain gestures, e.g. pinch to zoom / swiping back in webpages. It would persist for like a few minutes then returned to normal, but for several times a day. The issue occurred with both Apple apps (e.g. pages / quick look) and 3rd party apps (e.g. word / notability). Hardware was found to be operating normally with SMC / PRAM reset done before. Anyone is experiencing similar issues? Any fix to the problem? Thank you :)

Missing scroll options for Magic Mouse I've connected two separate magic mouses but only the point and click features work, neither will scroll. I went into settings and appear to be missing the "point/click", "scroll/zoom", "more gestures" tabs. Could it be a computer setting issue?

Strange bug using the logitech combo touch trackpad Hello everyone I have an 7th gen iPad and a Logitech Combo Touch that before i updated my OS to iOS 16 worked just fine. Since i updated the OS, to iOS 16, something strange happened. While the navigation with the trackpad works fine in all the apps, even apple’s ones, scrolling and gestures works as intended to be, in the main page is all inverted. And i don’t know why. Basically, to navigate to the next page i have to scroll up or down, and not left or right as it should be, even the gestures are messed up. And this issues is present only in “desktop”, in fact in all the apps scrolling works as intended to be. I tried some troubleshooting but it seems that it randomly fixes and when the battery is not full. Has everyone of you encountered this problems? Thanks for the replies

Hello Nicholas Morgan,

As with all unexpected iPad behavior, try taking the following steps which may help with these gesture & app issues: restart your iPad, make sure it is up to date, close the affected app, then reopen it and make sure all apps are updated.

We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
