#MAGICPREFS NOT RECOGNIZING MY MAGIC MOUS FULL#
MagicPrefs marks the gestures that may be a little difficult to use (like three and four finger swipes on the surface of the Magic Mouse), but still gives you full customizable control over them. With so many options available to you, it might be best to first decide which gestures you want to be active on your mouse. There are 4 things that constitute MagicPrefs on your drive that you need to remove (this is done by moving them to the trash with the Finder or any other file manager or with unix commands via Terminal.app):ġ- the application itself typically /Applications/MagicPrefs.app (you need to quit it first if it is running, for your convenience it quits itself if you remove its pref pane)Ģ- the preference pane of the application ~/Library/PreferencePanes/MagicPrefs.prefPane (you can also delete it directly from System Preferences by clicking "Remove MagicPrefs Preference Pane")ģ- the support directory that typically includes installed plugins under ~/Library/Application Support/MagicPrefs/ (since the files in this directory are loaded by the application they also can not be deleted if it is running)Ĥ- plists of the application at ~/Library/Preferences/, ~/Library/Preferences/.plist and ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ separates the surface of your Magic Mouse or trackpad into zones that can trigger different actions. Why do i get "Update Error! An error occurred while downloading the update. Why do the actions for expose spaces etc have a different behavior than shortcuts ? Why does the dashboard action not dismiss it when shown ? What information do i need to send for a bug report ? Why do i get a "No Shortcut Enabled For Switch Space." message What does the "Your operating system is missing the X keyboard shortcut" message exactly mean ? What does the "Found X applications which could impact functionality" message exactly mean ?
The acceleration curve of the mouse is bothering me, can't it be changed ? I am left handed, is MagicPrefs for right hand usage only ?ĭo i have to keep my fingers exactly as shown in the hover images ? How can i to add X shortcut that is already assigned to something in OSX ?
Why did my left clicks stopped working after i overridden the "Two finger click" gesture ? I have multiple magic mice, which will work with MagicPrefs ?Ĭan MagicPrefs have any impact on the battery usage ? I can not click anymore, how do i regain control of my mouse ? Why are PPC machines not supported anymore ? What exactly does "potentially hard to use mean" ? How do i assign this X action in OSX to a gesture ? Will this or that feature be added to MagicPrefs? What features will be removed from MagicPrefs ? What features will be added to MagicPrefs ?
