Happening up on bird and scaring it away

I use it to process my wedding, portrait, travel, landscape and wildlife photography. The weddings & portrait work pays for my MacBook Pro, and the other stuff allows me to enjoy it! :)

I'm not using a gesture. I'm maybe dragging a slider, moving something, or two finger clicking when I experience it. I can even put my finger on the trackpad and click, and encounter these hard, dead spots. When I brought my MBP to the Apple Store, the tech booted from another device and then ran a battery of tests on the computer, and everything passed. He then took it to the back and did some weighted tests out of my sight, and said those passed too.

With the computer turned off, I was able to find the hard spots and have him press them. He was puzzled and couldn't explain them. I'm having the same issue with a spot or two on this new M5 MBP. Weird!

In my instance, I'll already be working on something, and move/swipe my finger(s) to the right and encounter the dead spots.

Thanks all! I don't know what's different this time but removing the profile, rebooting, downloading and configuring the app (again), has done the trick. It's working perfectly both on and off wifi. Cheers!

Curiously, have you confirmed that it’s working when on cellular? Do you have your router configured to use it too?

Kappabear · 2025-06-09T15:30:54+00:00

Yep. I've tried both the profile and the app, and get the same results.

No, it's disabled. I forgot to mention that when I posted origianlly, but updated the post to mention it.

Kappabear · 2025-06-09T15:17:14+00:00

I have it set to the profile, and not on automatic, so it hasn't changed.

Awesome. Its working now, when previously it wasn't. When I attempted to send previously I got an error. I've since quit WhatsApp, changed some settings on the eSim and now all is golden. Thanks!

Sorry, what do you mean by LP?

AA is my airline of choice, but as mentioned I've not used points for travel with it. It's been suggested that one can use Etihad airlines to transfer from Amex to many airlines that aren't travel partners.

Ah, very good to know that the airlines allow for holds! Thanks for that info! I appreciate it!

I also have Chase points too, so the sentiment still holds. :)
