Problem with magic mouse gestures in safari

iMac 27", mid 2011
16 GB 1333Mhz
Using OS X Yosemite, Safari, Magic Mouse
one day no problem at all, the next day, without any new installations:
Whenever I use the swipe gesture to go back to a previous page,
It does not work and I cannot scroll on this page anymore.
Shutting down Safari and restarting it works.
I read a lot about this, it seems to be a known problem.
I did not use terminal to use direct command for remedy, but tried everything else I read:
power own the mouse, taking battery out, switching off BT for Mouse, several restarts of the iMac etc.
Nothing helps.
As I am so used to the gestures for a very long tome, it takes only seconds, before I swipe back-- and that´s it!
I have to restart Safari.
I would be very thankful for your help!
best,
Fred

Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issuein response to Linc Davis
Hi Linc
Thank you for the extremely detailed response.
I think I have the issue solved for the minute at least.
I not only disconnected every cable from the Mac, as I had previously done, I also disconnected every cable from my peripherals and powered down every peripheral as well, then re-wired my set-up. This seems to have solved the issue. Not sure of the technical reason that this would have fixed my problem, but it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment anyway.
So, my problem is solved too!!
Many thanks

  • Safari update - problem with magic mouse

    Hi all, I recently installed safari update to 5.1 (6534.50) on a mabbook pro OS X 10.6.8. Ever since update, I've been experiencing the problem with safari reloading pages and kicking me out of websites that use flash player (back to log-in screen). I can deal with that by using another browser, however the update has really messed up my magic mouse. At first, every time I put my macbook to sleep or shut it off, the mouse would stop responding when I woke the mac up. I would have to disconnect the mouse and reconnect. But this was really eating up my batteries, so this morning I shut the mouse off when I put the mac to sleep. Now it won't connect at all. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks Carolyn and Barry,
    I did what Carolyn suggested - moving the .plist file into the trash. I have not resetting the PRAM or SMC yet.
    When I go to system preferences>Bluetooth, I get a screen that says:
    Bluetooth power is off. To use Bluetooth, first you must turn it on. (Note - my mouse is turned on)
    Both ON and DISCOVERABLE are checked.
    In the middle of the screen, it says No Devices (Set Up New Device...)
    When I select set up new device, it finds my device and attempts to pair but is unsuccessful.
    Resetting the SMC and PRAM scares me. After reading the links that Carolyn provided, I remembered another weird issue I had with my mac shortly before the update and mouse issue. For some reason, my clock suddenly became out of sync and I was on a 2000 date. I got an error message and reset the clock manually. Could this be the cause of my mouse issue? I feel like every step I've taken to get my mouse working again has made the problem just a little bigger!
    Thanks again for helping me!

  • Problem with Magic Mouse pairing

    Hello Apple Support Communities
    I have used a Magic Mouse for some time, maybe now an year. But I started having this problem today.
    When the Magic Mouse did not connect with my MBP, I removed the mouse from the Bluetooth and tried to put it back.
    But the Bluetooth Setup Assistant is saying that the pairing did not work, and asked for a passcode or a different pairing method.
    Here's a screenshot:
    Also, I tried using the System Prefrences and click on mouse to set up my Magic Mouse, but it said the same thing; pairing failed.
    Here's a screenshot:
    Is there any solutions to this problem? I hope that you can get me an answer fast, as I use Magic Mouse a lot with my MBP.

    Not knowing what machine you have, it's age, and its current OS X and version doesn't help people help you.    Please could you fill in your profile.
    Do you have, or know someone who has a wired mouse?

  • Problems with Magic Mouse, OS 10.9.2 with Mac Mini (mid 2010)

    My mouse connects fine to the computer but I can´t use any magic movements at all. What can be the problem? I use Magic Mouse, OS 10.9.2 with Mac Mini (mid 2011).

  • Connection problems with Magic Mouse and handoff

    I did a clean install of 10.10.3 and since then the Magic Mouse has had problems connecting. First it wouldn't pair. After a few reboots and repeated attempts I was able to pair the mouse with the rMBP. After waking from sleep it now no longer connects. I select the mouse in the Bluetooth menu and connect. Connection appears on the screen, but the mouse doesn't respond. After a few moments I get Connection Lost on the screen.
    In addition to the mouse problems I have completely lost any hand off capability to or from the iPhone to the rMBP or back. It's like the Bluetooth connection between the devices is not working or is too weak to function.
    It would be very much appreciated if any one has any suggestions on the cause or to a solution.
    Thanks.

    Hey Tom,
    NVRAM and PRAM are, while technically different, effectively the same. Newer systems utilize NVRAM to store the same information that was stored in PRAM on older Macs.
    On older Mac computers, similar information was stored in Parameter RAM (PRAM). Resetting NVRAM on Intel-based Macs using the same key combination is like resetting PRAM.

  • IMac 27" i5: Bluetooth Enabler Driver Problem with Magic Mouse and Keyboard

    So I just got my iMac 27" Quad Core i5 computer and was able to succesfully install Windows 7 64-bit (using this guide to get past the blank screen problem http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10533092). I then installed the Boot Camp 3 drivers from the Mac OS CD and updated windows via Windows Update. Everything seemed to work well.
    I even had right click and scrolling capabilities with the MAGIC MOUSE! Also, all the keys were functional on the wireless keyboard.
    However, after a few minutes of use the keyboard and mouse would hang and get stuck and I would have to do a hard reboot of the machine. I uninstalled the Apple Bluetooth drivers from the Add/Remove Programs menu and it fixed the problems with the devices getting stuck. However, function keys on the keyboard (brightness, volume, etc.) and scrolling in the Magic Mouse now not work. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I found a solution, and everything now works! I followed step three in this discussion http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2221427&tstart=0 which says:
    Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  • Macbook pro 2012 bluetooth problem with magic mouse

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    It's two days old and Bluetooth has stopped working.. I use bluetooth for my apple magic mouse.
    I know it's the Bluetooth app and not the mouse as I changed the mouse batteries and double checked it with my old iMac.
    The Bluetooth app has become sluggish and unresponsive.
    I have restarted and logged out and in.
    Run permissions.
    Switched Bluetooth off and on.
    Scratched my beard.
    Any ideas or similar problems?

    Not sure which Bluetooth app you are referring to ... 
    Try deleting Bluetooth preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /LIbrary/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the   com.apple.Bluetooth.plist   file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Now open System Preferences > Bluetooth and try re "pairing" the mouse.

  • Connections problems with magic mouse

    I keep losing the bluetooth connection with my Magic Mouse, magic track pad and apple bluetooth keyboard. 
    Magic Mouse problems are daily.  Sometimes it works intermittently.  Track pad problems are less frequent.
    The keyboard gives me problems with the shift key.  When I hit the shift key sometimes it causes texts to be highlighted on screen. When texts are highlighted on screen, they are erased once I hit a new key.  This is extremely frustration.  Any solutions? 

    Usual first attempt for a remedy for these BT problems is to try smc and pram reset.

  • Problem with Magic Mouse

    I have just installed Lion onto my 27" iMac (3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) which i bought about six months ago.  I really love the new OS.  My only gripe is that when I scroll down with two fingers the screen goes up and visa versa.  I have looked in settings and cannot seem to find a solution... and yes the mouse is the right way up!  If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

    Just as a quick addition, I poped into my local Apple store today and they explained that the way the Trackpad and Magic Mouse were set up by apple was to feel like the iPad and iPhone, which now makes sense (scrolling up pushes the screen down and visa versa), so although it feels unatural it is the way it is supposed to work.  They advised trying it for few days wnd then see how I get on. Actually just knowing this makes it seem to work.

  • Problems with Magic Mouse

    Hello, I have a magic mouse connected to my mac book pro.  The problem is this, everytime I left or right click I get a pop up menu.  I find this very annoying.  Any advice on how to fix would be appreciated.  Thanks a bunch.

    Sounds like you are seeing a contextual menu popup which is normally a right click.  First check you mouse preferences and make sure you didn't define right (secondary) click as being on the left.  If you didn't then perhaps you are pushing on the mouse too close to the left/right "border" between the two sides. Try moving your finger a little more to the left.

  • Anyone else have a problem with Magic mouse scroll after Maverick update?

    Now I have upgraded to Maverick (among other minor things) my Magic Mouse scroll often doesnt work unless I close the application it stopped working in and open it again.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? was there any worthwhile reason to update?

    This has happened to me, in fact, why I'm even searching in here...I need help too to fix it! It's so annoying!

  • Problems with Magic Mouse (Mountain Lion).

    No matter what settings/gestures I use in Mouse Preferences, double-clicking doesn't work and scrolling doesn't work.  The only features that work are single- click selection, right-click shortcut menu and two-finger sideways swipe to switch desktops.  The problem began in my old iMac and seems to have been trasnferred to the brand new machine when I migrated. 
    Two different magic mice show the same behavior so I suspect it is a hidden setting or perhaps intereference (my wireless hub is only 24 inches from where I use the mouse...)

    Has/is/does APPLE ever weighed in with a response to this issue?  This is certainly not the Customer Service oriented APPLE I have dealt with in the past.

  • Right click problem with Magic Mouse

    I wasn't sure where to post this. Whenever I click using the right click, I get a contextual menu instead of whatever the right click was supposed to do. This is a dumb example, but for instance, playing minesweeper, the right click is supposed to create a flag on the space, but in stead I get the menu drop down. Does anybody know how to fix this? I don't think I always had this problem, but now it happens all the time.

    I came here searching for my mom, and this is the same issue she is having. Oddly enough, she is specifically having trouble with a Minesweeper type game lol I was also thinking it is not actually a mouse problem because she can't control/command click either. I think she's only had the problem in Safari, should we be looking in the Safari forum? Oh, she has a brand new (2 months?) iMac with the i3 Intel chip.
