If you are a MacBook Pro user, you might have noticed that the touch bar is not showing any options sometimes, specifically the volume or brightness options. It can be a frustrating experience, but fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.
The touch bar on your MacBook Pro can become completely blank, something like a switched-off screen. In this case, the first thing you might try is to restart the machine. However, if that doesn’t work, there is another method you can use to fix the touch bar.
The solution involves using the Activity Monitor. To do this, open Spotlight by pressing Command and Spacebar. Once the Spotlight window is up, type ‘Activity Monitor’ to search and click on it to open it. Once it is open, order or sort the services by name, and search for Control Strip. Once you have found it, select it, go to the top, and click the cross button to kill and start the service. After that, look for another service called Touch Bar, select it, and click the cross button to kill and start the service.
By performing these steps, your touch bar should work as expected. However, if it doesn’t, you can try the solution provided in another video, which involves using terminal commands. The link to that video is in the description below.
It is important to note that if the touch bar problem is a software issue, then the solution provided in this video should be able to resolve the issue. However, if it is a hardware issue, then you will have to take your MacBook Pro to an Apple service bar because there could be some circuit issue or something like that that has a hardware issue.
In conclusion, if you are a MacBook Pro user and your touch bar is not showing volume or brightness options, you can use the solution provided in this article to fix the problem. It is a simple process that involves using the Activity Monitor, and if that doesn’t work, there is a link to another video that provides a solution using terminal commands.
