NEW MAGIC MOUSE NOT SCROLLING.....

HI,
I have just synced my new magic mouse with my macbook. However it just operates as a normal mouse. In the settings it comes up as an Apple Wireless mouse and doesn't give me any options other than a normal mouse. What is the problem and how can i solve it.
Thanks

My problem has been solved by the people at Robina Apple Centre.
I had to have the mouse connected as it was and then do a system update. It found an update for the mouse and is now working. Thanks Apple.

New magic trackpad not scrolling and wiping.

i have a new magic trackpad, using it with my iMac. on my account it works, except for scrolling and wiping. as soon as i have two fingers on it the cursor is unmovable. (one, three, four fingers ok) the two fingers are the most important gestures. and they don't work. my magic mouse behalfs normally, scrolling and wiping ok.
on the account of my wife -same imac- the trackpad is working normally.
i tried to unmark and mark every item in the prefs. no succes.
any ideas?

Glad it working now!!
The preferences are set individually for each user on the Mac. That way you can have one set of preferences and your wife can have her own. That's why one worked and the other didn't.

Magic Mouse not scrolling after OS X update

After OS X update (now at 10.10.3), my Magic Mouse no longer scrolls in Finder. Has anyone else experienced this? Double-checked Accessibility setting and scrolling is Enabled. Any suggestions on a fix would be appreciated. On a Mac Mini - Mid 2011 8gbRAM i7chip.

10.3 and earlier refer to Panther and earlier operating systems. Please post in the Yosemite forum:

TS3048 why does my Magic Mouse not scroll all the time.

It is intermittent when I open Mail and Calendar.
It will be working and after 5 minutes, just stops for no real reason. No pattern either.
I tried doing something called a system controller reset ( or similar) and that worked for about 2 days.
does anyone have some advice or discovered the issue. My mouse is one year old and the batteries are at 100%.
thanks!

I've got the same issue - seems to have started happening since Mavericks upgrade. Pretty frustrating, so would be keen to get some guidance on this

HT1338 My new magic mouse will not one finger scroll left and right

I am up to date with software but after connecting my new magic mouse it will not one finger scroll left and right. It does scroll up and down. Any ideas on what may be wrong??

I don't have a Magic Mouse, but there is probably a setting that enables and disables horizontal scrolling. Look on System Preferences Mouse pane.

TS2662 my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work

my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work. Help??

I had this happen to me as well. just last week (july 28, 2014) I brought my magic mouse from home to work since my work mouse was going south. paired it with bluetooth, it moved and clicked but no scroll or gestures. searched till I nearly ready to give up. then I installed USB overdrive. many forum posts said too remove that. I didn't have it, so I installed it. and then un-installed it. everything works great now.
hope this helps someone.

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.

New Magic Mouse - how to turn off horiz scroll ?

love this new Magic Mouse esp with FCP where horiz scroll from edit to edit is ultra cool.
However, most of the time I will want to turn horizontal scrolling off. This is easy to do with other Apple mice and even other manuf brands.
So - how to do this with the whiz bang boom Magic Mouse ???
turning off the checkbox "Two Fingers - Swipe Left/Right to Navigate" doesnt fix this.
Am I missing something ?

looks like this was answered already (I havent yet tried it but this looks pretty solid)
To turn horizontal scrolling off:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
To turn horizontal scrolling on:
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool YES
if this helps anybody.....

My system preferences not offering multi-touch functions for new magic mouse

I just bought a magic mouse for my Mac OS X 10.5.8 desktop. It is not letting me set up the multi-touch gesture funtions. When I go into my 'system preferences / keyboard & mouse' it does not offer the set up of the multi-touch functions for the magic mouse. Do you know how I can set these functions up on my computer??? The instruction manual says it works with Mac OS X 10.5.8??? I want to be able to use the magic mouse to scroll and swipe.
Thanks for your help!

I see the requirements are:
Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
Two AA batteries (included)
Are you using a Mac with a Bluetooth wireless transmitter?

New Magic Mouse Serial Num Not recognised

Apple doesn't keep track of mouse/trackpad serial numbers in that website. They have a record that you bought it.

Thoughts on new magic mouse

hi
I just have received my new iMac 27" today and am really overwhelmed. the only thing one needs to get used to is the new magic mouse.
the fact that the scrollball click and the 2 buttons on the side are missing, means that there are 2 options less than for the mighty mouse. a thing I really do not understand, if the mouse can determine a rightclick leftclick and even swipes for scrolling, I do not understand why apple hasn't implemented a 2finger click and a 3finger click as well. shoould be possible as it is a software related issue IMHO.
another thing about the new magic mouse is the click sound, if it is like with the mighty mouse, then the click sound is produced by a little piezo, and the click is really tooooooooo loud IMHO.
what do you think abou the missing 2 options and the click loudness?

This should be an option - if not the default value - the user can set. That would improve the performance & usability so much more. Please fix it!

Magic Mouse loses scrolling ability after sleep

Hi,
I'm on a Mac Pro and got a new Magic Mouse which I really love. First I experienced the BT connectivity problems which many people have on their Mac Pro's which I tried to solve via the tiny Belkin external BT dongle offered in the Apple store.
Now the cursor runs smoothly and I don't have any connectivity problems, BUT after waking the computer from sleep mode, the Magic Mouse lost the scrolling ability. It clicks properly, but I can't scroll.
Everything is fine after restarting the computer.
Searching the net, I found that other users using that dongle don't have the same problem, so what's wrong here? Any ideas? I'm thankful for every hint!

Just want to give an update to my saga.
I have made many calls tonight only to wait to no avail. My last call took 35 min to get thru. After explaining my issues and findings to him in detail, he asked me to do the typical first defense steps. Shut down, and then remove the AC cord. Press the power button 10 sec to "fully discharge any residual power". Then restart. I am all too aware that when Mac goes into sleep (very similar to MS PC's suspend stages) there are different degree of sleep. If I wake it up too soon, the symptoms do not occur. While on the call, we did the sleep and resume twice. Each time I waited about 2 minutes, thinking it is enough for the system to go into deep sleep. In both tries, the mouse did not loss the scroll functions. Thinking the issue may be resolve - though I did have some misgiving about it, I let him go.
I later went back and do a better testing, by let the system stay longer in sleep before waking it. I waited may be 4 to 5 minutes. Sure enough both the mouse and KB failed - both reverted to what seems some sort of basic mode. I have the BT status pane open and so I can monitor what it does. Yes, given enough time eventually the OS reports lost of mouse connection. Then also reports lost of KB connection. Yet, in actuality both the KB and magic mouse still works in their respective basic functions.
It appears that the host BT controller after entering what I infer as deep sleep, it is unable to reconfigure both the KB and mouse to their designed full functions upon resume from sleep. It however, able to reconfigure them for basic functions so the user is not left dead in the water.
During my call, I ask the CSR what is the next step if the issues are not resolved. He mentioned deleting some sort of BT file somewhere.

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience? I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

You cannot connect the mouse. This is not a feature of iphone
You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

Connecting a new Magic Mouse to a sleeping iMac

I'm in the processing of migrating to a new Mac, was backing up some data on the old mac and disconnected the mouse and keyboard from the old one to pair with the new. Now, the data has finished backing up (I think) and I'd like to reconnect a new Magic Mouse with the old computer. Is there anyway to do this? I don't just simply turn it off and then on because I'm not sure if the data is done or not (the Mac is sleeping with a black screen).
Thanks,
Matt

The news is not good based on what I have been able to find:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/2914651#2914651
This may not be definitive. This may be a fools errand, but connect them and see if on SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS the iMac is recognized as a monitor.
Perhaps a post in the iMac forum might prove useful.
Ciao.
