How to Stop Using Universal Control After you’re done using your Mac and iPad together, you’ll probably want your mouse to stay in one place. If that’s the case, you’re better off disabling Universal Control altogether, as having your cursor “stuck” trying to move to the other device can get pretty annoying. There are a few ways to disconnect your devices from each other. First, you can put one of the two devices to sleep. On your iPad, simply press the power button once. On your Mac, either go to the Apple menu and click Sleep or just close the lid if you’re using a MacBook. You can also disconnect Universal Control by clicking your Mac’s Universal Control button in the top right corner of your screen. Then, click your iPad or Mac to disconnect it. Last but not least, if you have multiple devices connected to each other, the fastest way to disconnect all of them is to press Control+Option+Command+Delete on your keyboard. Master Universal Control on Your Mac and iPad Using Universal Control is a quick and easy way to connect your Apple devices. You can connect your Mac and iPad or have multiple Macs connected at the same time. This will help you be more productive, as you won’t waste any time moving files or pasting text from one device to the next. Granted, having multiple devices connected all the time can be pretty annoying, but the good news is that you can also connect or disconnect them quickly.
