Logitech options not working on Mac
So there is a whole lot of questions and answers regarding Logitech mouse software not working on latest versions of Mac OS.
I have a Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse and using Bluetooth to connect. Mouse works fine but I cannot customise or reap the full functionality of the MX Mouse productivity without configuring the Logitech Options software, which does not detect the mouse installed over Bluetooth.
Logitech themselves have articles about how to install and configure Logitech options and the specific security/privacy settings (System Preferences - Security & Privacy) required. Interestingly, after installing the latest version (9.40.75) all of the settings are configured with the exception of "Automation". Logitech say the "Logi Options Daemon" must be selected and the boxes checked for System Events & Finder - but the logi Options Daemon is not installed in the "Automation" list.
After calling Logitech support, I was told there are known issues with the latest versions of Mac OS and they were working on fixing these before releasing an update. Fair enough (but frustrating).
So I hunted about the application store and searched for the Logi Options Daemon but the search could not locate it. I eventually right clicked the "Logi Options.app" in the Applications folder and selected "Show Package Contents" and hey presto - "Logi Options Daemon.app" was in the "Contents - Support" folder.
And when I double clicked to execute it, the Logi Options application detected my Bluetooth mouse and everything worked fine from there on.
Now I have not rebooted my Mac as yet, to see if the Options app will still work and detect the mouse, but regardless, I can copy the "Logi Options Daemon.app" to the Applications folder and manually execute if needed - until Logitech release a working version!
Hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues.
