Tap-to-click issues on B9 and 10 (and now Monterey release)

[Kagio]

That's very interesting - with my 14" with 12.5 it's still very much a problem, and possibly worse than it was with 12.4. Baffling.

definitely fixed for me .. tried everything to make it NOT work, and it works as any Mac I've used in the last 15 years now .. I don't know if my exact model (MBP 14inch base model + upgrade to 1TB) has to do with anything,

but I'm 100% it works perfectly now ..

Hopefully the ghost of Steve Jobs blesses my macbook like that soon 🤞

After using my replaced MBP 14inch for a couple of months now, it works ok now, the problem just faded away. I mentioned 80percent of the touchpad worked ok, now it's 90 percent, don't know why. Good luck to everyone.

It looks like the issue is solved on my MBP 14 with macOS 12.5 🙏

Tap to click works perfect on my new MBA M2. Hops this problem doesn't come around to these machines. But, BTW, I can't believe that MacBooks come with TTC default off. I almost needed to call the help line to set up my MBA M2 when it came. Almost.

Well... "tap-to-click" defaulting to disabled seems to be one of these "legacy-of-simplification" things like Magic Mouse being configured as single button mouse by default.

Kill me. Updated on 12.5.1 and the issue is back 🫠

Holy ****... 🤦‍♂️ You're right, the issue is back.

MacBook 14 M1 pro and with 12.5.1 continue to works like after the update of 12.5

I know this may sound strange. Would the issue clear if you plugged your trackpad into the USB port and then shut down and perform a SMC reset? I did that with my iMac and it cleared.

@chama98 Thank your for tip but the steps don't work for me. I don't have trackpad. But I've unplugged all devices, restarted macbook...and issue is still there 😐

not even a SMC reset or NVRAM reset?

 

[Gynekolog]

@chama98 By instructions on the apple website, restarting the device is enough for the SMC reset:
```
Make sure that your Mac is plugged into power. Then either restart it or shut it down and turn it on again. No other steps are necessary for Mac computers with Apple silicon.
```
Same situation is with NVRAM reset.

clean reinstall?

 

[racostaf]

clean reinstall?

I will, but if installing Ventura the error persists.

 

[chama98]

I will, but if installing Ventura the error persists.

In that case its a bug. have you reported it?

 

[hohohonkey]

Reporting form Ventura public beta 4 on a 14' pro: cmd+tap to click still fails often enough (the usual needing to tap 3 times), but is possibly working more often than before?
What IS better though is pinch to zoom, which feels far more reliable and responsive than before. Tap to click also seems to feel more responsive (and continues to work well when not paired with a key press)

Upgraded to 12.6, still broken.

 

[suisse]

not fixed at all, I can repro

 

[racostaf]

Same here ;(

Encountering this problem on my very new 14" M1 Pro running macOS 12.6. I thought it was the app I was using at first (it seems especially bad on MindKit), then I noticed it happening almost constantly on any browser, too, when I'd Command + Tap to open links in new tab.

Before switching to this Mac, I had been using my old mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro with Big Sur (thanks to OpenCore) and I never had any problem whatsoever with the trackpad. *sigh*

Very frustrating for a machine of this price...

I edit a lot of Word documents on my 16" M1 MacBook Pro and the problems with tap-to-click have been driving me crazy. So it was good to find this thread (ie. I'm not the only one with the problem), if depressing that Apple haven't fixed it.

Another issue: I can see an impression on my trackpad of the circuitry below. Does anyone else see this?

 

[Miharu]

I bought a MacBook Pro M1 yesterday and I definitely have this issue. I'm now regretting this purchase.

 

[racostaf]

Has anyone installed the latest betas to see is this issue is fixed?

Update:

 

[joptimus]

Still broken on the latest beta of Ventura. Don't hold your breath - this will never get fixed. I've given up.
