BetterTouchTool also has actions available that control window sizing and movement, ala SizeUp, but with gestures. meaning you can make just about anything happen. It's now quite easy to start adding gestures such as 'Three Finger Swipe Down' and 'Four Finger Click,' and assign them to predefined actions like 'Show Desktop' or 'Open Finder.' You can also assign any shortcut key you like, or assign a gesture to launch any application. It's the work of Andreas Hegenberg (also the author of SecondBar), and it's come a long way since the first alpha version I tested a while back.Īside from improved stability, the interface is one of the elements that's come the farthest. BetterTouchTool is a fork of the MultiClutch project, built for Snow Leopard and expanding the feature set greatly.

Well, there's another free utility called BetterTouchTool that works with both trackpads and Magic Mice, providing a huge number of gestures and infinite possibilities for configuration. With MagicPrefs installedit functions as a pane in System Preferencesyou get a slew of new potential clicks and gestures. The solution is if you use a hard drive with Time Machine always connected at your Hackintosh, connect to an USB port in the front panel.We recently covered a utility called MagicPrefs that adds a hatful of new and configurable multi-touch gestures to your Magic Mouse. One of the best early options is MagicPrefs. In occasions, if you boot with a hard drive connected in the back panel, will freeze. With this, no more random freezes using USB hard drives.
#MAGICPREFS REPLACEMENT INSTALL#
Install your modified IOUSBFamily.kext with KextBeast. Delete the old AppleUSBXHCI.kext and place the new.ĥ. Right click with the mouse, view the content of the packet. Go to S/L/E and copy IOUSBFamily.kext in your Desktop.

Mine is an Via VL800, supported by this Kext.Ĥ.
#MAGICPREFS REPLACEMENT DRIVER#
BE SURE that the Kext it's specific for Yosemite and support the USB driver of your Motherboard. His name is Patched AppleUSBXHCI v710.4.11.ģ. I find an AppleUSBXHCI.kext patched for Yosemite 10.10.2 in other web. I find a final solution for mi USB3 problem, inspired by this post (#27):ġ. 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/Īfter uninstalling MagicPregs i fix the random laggy mouse, but with more testing, random freezes with USB hard disk are back. After uninstalling Magicprefs, no more freezes when i connect my USB hard drives. If you search in the official Apple forums, a lot of freezes in Yosemite are related to the use of Magicprefs. Forget other solutions posted in this forum, like uninstalling the generic USB3 Kext that comes with Multibeast, needed for my GA-H81M-S2H to works fine.

But Magicprefs is now a dead application, years without updates. I use Magic Mouse in all my macs in the past, works like a charm. Magicprefs it's a program that added more functions for the Magic Mouse.

And affects also real macs running Yosemite.
#MAGICPREFS REPLACEMENT MAC OS X#
Vecte is a simple Mac OS X application switcher replacement. After weeks of searching a solution for random freezes when using USB mass storage devices, more random freezes when i connect other USB components, and laggy Magic mouse if i connect my ASUS BT-400 in the back panel with other components, i found the problem. When I came across MagicPrefs a few weeks ago, I didnt think I would use it beyond a quick. (Excuse my level of english, i'm not english native) Other interesting free alternatives to MagicPrefs are touchegg and MiddleClickApp. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked five alternatives to MagicPrefs and three of them is free so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Fix for Yosemite and random freezes with USB ports (see the second post) The best free alternative to MagicPrefs is Jitouch. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
