iPad Pro -- Getting the MacBook Trackpad to Work

Hi,

Great app, but I'm trying to set it up and hitting a road block getting my iPad to recognize the trackpad. It sees the keyboard just fine. I have already enabled assistivetouch.. is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks,
-J

 

never mind, just needed to restart the iPad! this is amazing! is gesture support in the works by chance?

Thanks!

 

Hi, could you write the steps? I'm struggling to make my iPad Pro model MQDC2LL/A to recognize my Macbook's Trackpad.

I have activated AssistiveTouch already and restarted the iPad

 

Hi, Elvis Peralta,

What OS is running in each device, respectively?

 

Hey Seungjin Lee!

Thanks for the quick response!

So, iPad Pro is currently running iPadOS 14.4 and my Macbook Pro is running Big Sur version 11.2

 

M1 Mac or Intel Mac?

 

Intel Mac

 

Did you test the cursor movement with a mouse? If not, please try to test with a mouse connected to your Mac. If it works, try to remove BT pairing and then pair them again.

 

I have paired an Apple Magic Mouse 2 to the Macbook and the cursor works, unpaired the mouse from the computer to try it on the iPad and it works fine paired directly to the iPad.

If I hover the cursor on my Macbook over the side to which I've set the iPad on Across it does not recognize the mouse/trackpad just the keyboard

Should it be as easy as just pairing the iPad Pro on Across, I mean, should it work right away, or after you pair the iPad you have to enable another setting on the iPad?

 

What Mouse Mode is set? You have to choose the "Relative Coordinate Mouse".

Yes, it should do.

 

Yees, it works!

Thank you!!!

 

You're always welcome!
