![]() In the very beginning, I would like to introduce an easy approach to uninstall this app on Mac, just in case you are like “Geez, don’t put me through the knowledge. Third-party utilities such as Alfred, TextExpander, or MagicPrefs might appear to take 'control' of the window as far as the OS is concerned. What I’m only interested in is how to quickly get things done”. You can find the culprit by disabling them all, and turning them on one by one until you find one (or more) which affects Keychain in that manner. Download - Install - Run App Uninstaller 2. In the list of installed applications, select MagicPrefs as a target, and hit “Run Analysis”.ĭo it once you are certain that you will never use MagicPrefs again (or in a short time at least). Right-click on the Trash icon, select “Empty Trash”. It will ask for your confirmation, also click “Empty Trash” on the message. This will permanently remove MagicPrefs and everything inside, freeing up the hard drive space on your Mac. In the entire removal process, the Library folder could be a blind spot to many users. Because of security reasons pressing the Allow button won’t take effect if you are connecting to the machine via Remote Desktop, or if the mouse/trackpad is emulated by a 3rd party application (MagicPrefs, BetterTouchTool, Synergy, etc.) I have a third party app MagicPrefs. So this is teaching you how to delete the Support and Preference Files from it, which are those left behind after you remove MagicPrefs application. Usually they are very small, so if you attempt to reinstall the application, you can keep them. Otherwise, just do the following to clean them out. In the upper-left corner of the screen, hold the “Option” key on your keyboard, click “Go” on the Finder, and select “Library” to open the Library folder. P.S.To ensure the complete removal, it would be better to unhide the Library folder permanently. Hope this saves you all a lot of frustration. So, I made the touch-sensitive area for scrolling very small, and in the top-middle of the mouse, about where the scroll-wheel would be on a normal mouse. I had found that especially touching the edges of the mouse start the random scrolling You will then see the sensitive area of your mouse In the new window that opens, click on Configure Scrolling, at the bottom right So, a while ago, I took the following advice the website at the end of this post.Ĭontrol the touch-sensitive area of this mouse with the free app MagicPrefs (not clear why Apple does not provide something this useful): Many users seem to complain about this over-sensitivity, especially for newer computers. I then realized that the problem was from an over-sensitive Magic Mouse. I had the same problem, with a new iMac: I was getting a lot of random scrolling, in the middle of editing work, and it was very annoying.Ĭontacted Apple and they told me to do an SMC (?) reset, which changed nothing, of course. Almost any mouse movement results in the maps zooming in and out. What's really bad is it makes using Google Maps almost completely useless. I think the machine has to be on for a while before it does it. I was unable to reproduce it the day I had the MBP at the Apple Store. It's not doing it as often as on my MBP (yet). So I bought a new one, and lo and behold, the problem still existed.īack to now. I destroyed my first Magic Mouse last March one day when I was already pissed off and it sent me over the edge. I know it's not the mouse itself, necessarily (or if it is, it's a hardware flaw). Guess what? IT STILL EXISTS, even on the new machine! I thought, cool, I can finally be rid of this damn scrolling problem. So I went out a few days ago and got a new 11.6" MacBook Air. That lasted about fifteen minutes before I boxed up and returned the Windows machine. But then there was a warranty issue and that never happened.īeing thoroughly pissed, I bought a Windows machine and was ready to be rid of all things Apple. First, after a trip to an Apple Store, they were ready to replace the motherboard and bluetooth board in my 17" MBP because of the problems. Since my last post about it, I've learned a few things. ![]() I've posted about it in different threads here and nobody has had any idea what to do with it. I have been having this problem for almost a year. ![]()
