Hello,
I use both an iMac And a MBA in tandem. However I detest trackpads and would like to know if I could use another magic mouse in my workspace that was slaved to the laptop while the the other one, I use for the iMac, would work only with with that machine?
Pair each mouse with its respective computer. That should be all that is required.
Yes, if you're using two seperate Magic Mouse's they will each only work with their respective machines while paired to those machines.
Your and Kappy's response are logical. Perhaps I was not clear with the question. What happens now is that when both machines are running the mouse works only with the iMac and I need to use the trackpad on the Air.When the iMac is off the mouse operates the MacBook Air perfectly, so I suppose I don't know how to pair a mouse with a particular machine. Does that help?
Pairing is done using the BT preferences. See this article. For other related articles see Apple - Support - Search.
Thanks.
