Bookmark or Share- Touch Bar Fully Discontinued on New MacBooks After Seven YearsApple initially described the Touch Bar as a "revolutionary" and "breakthrough" interface, but it was clearly not popular enough to stick around. It was a slow death for the Touch Bar: In 2019, Apple released the first 16-inch MacBook Pro with a physical Esc key, but the Touch Bar lived on in place of physical function keys.
- How to fix? Touch Bar is blank and Touch Bar settings gone after MacOS ...I have a 13 inch MBP M1 with Touch Bar. After upgrading to MacOS 15.1 my Touch Bar went totally blank, and the Touchbar settings are now gone from the settings menu. Gone! It's like they forgot to include that software in the update. It's like the Touch Bar never existed.
- touch bar disappears when expanded, is this a known bug?Other than expanded quick actions disappearing, the touch bar works fine. I think this maybe a software issue, not hardware. Can someone with a touch bar kindly test this and let me know if touch bar quick actions can expand as normal. Please change the touch bar settings to quick actions and see if the control strip disappears when expanded.
- The dreaded TouchBar Flicker. | MacRumors ForumsAs of late, mine periodically is worse - reaching farther across the Touch Bar. Couple times between putting computer to sleep, the Touch Bar has stopped displaying altogether including the flickering which was a relief. Was worried I was then without an escape key but it still worked as well as the invisible function keys.
- MacBook Pro Touchbar Flashes Bright White Square when IdleIf I do not use the laptop for about 60-75 seconds, the touch-bar dims (60 seconds) and in 75 seconds it switches off (presumably to prevent OLED burn-in). This is normal, but recently a bright white rectangle in the top right corner starts flashing out of nowhere and continues to do so until I touch it, after which everything goes back to normal.
