Looking for some assistance please; my previous experience was with Windows but moved to Mac about a year or so ago and slowly coming to grips with it. To enable me to use my existing Logitech M705 wireless mouse functions I installed SteerMouse. This has not been an issue until recently when I'm getting intermittent issue with the cursor sticking in LR and PS - usually moving from the image to the side panels. The cursor works fine with the other applications such as Safari and Outlook.

Looking at Steer Mouse I get the message If your mouse does not work, you need to uninstall the following driver. Please contact the manufacturer how to uninstall it. Macintosh HD/Applications/Logi Options/Contents/Support/Logi Options Daemon. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the driver so any step by step advice would be much appreciated. Ideally I don't want to remove the entire Logitech App as I've also got a wireless Logitech keyboard

I'm using a Mac mini with Sonama 14.6.1

Any advice appreciated
 
IIRC driver files are hidden - search for information on how to see them.
 
It might be that the file you want will of that sort will be in a folder called Application Support in the Library. If you CD and see it in there dry holding down the option key while opening th Go menu on the desktop to reveal the system
Library which isn't by default visible and searching one. If you find what seems liken the right file just drag it to the bin and restart.

Alternatively install the free app App Cleaner and drags Logitech application into it. It will find everything Logitech and remove it.. U
I know you don't want to do that but it would let you reinstallnthe other software you want again from a clean start - an easy enough task

Thanks for that but thinking about it I'm not certain removing and then reinstall may do this. Once I reinstall then I'd imagine the offending driver will be loaded again

First - apologies for my typos. I’m on my phone away from home and it doesn’t go well

Yes. It probably would. I might have misunderstood. I thought you had different Logitech programs that you wanted to keep but wanted rid of the offending item.

No problem - I have different Logitech hardware but they use the same main software programme, presumably with different drivers ?
 
I tried the computer this morning and everything is working fine - bizarre ! So using my if it isn't broken leave well alone with regard to IT I'll continue to monitor the situation. However thanks for the input on finding drivers on a Mac
