Incompatible software

We have reports that some software causes issues when running together with the Magic Utilities.

We currently don't know what exactly causes these issues and still investigating the root cause.

It affects only Bluetooth connections for all Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpads models.

Issues include

  • A lagging mouse pointer.
  • Clicks don't work.
  • Disabling of other mice and touchpads.
  • Random beep sounds.

For reasons we don't know yet, Windows can drop the Bluetooth connection and then re-connects the device again and drops the connection and re-connects again, and so on...

We have only seven reports so far. Here is possible help:

Power cycle your device

  • power off the mouse or trackpad,
  • power on again and
  • click to re-connect to Bluetooth.

Fully power off your computer

A user reported that a full Shut down of the computer, including turning off the power supply unit did help.

Here is the reference.

Disable the Bluetooth network connection

Another user reported that disabling the Bluetooth network connection helped:

  • Open Windows Settings
  • Select Network & Internet
  • Select Change adapter options
  • Right click on Bluetooth Network Connection ...
  • From the popup menu select Disable.

 

In Windows sometimes your device is paired via Bluetooth, but it doesn't work, no matter if you have installed the Magic Utilities or not.
