I use an iMac (27" 3.4) and have problems with the Magic Mouse. It does not use contact, but opens useless and unrelated submenus with every click, even on the empty desktop. I can't shift, open or close pages. Has anyone out there the same problem?

I use an iMac 27" (mid 2011). Until recently I had OSX 10.6.8 installed, but both, the HDD and SSD had to be replaced, and I lost all the memory.
After the repair through Apple Care I had OSX 10.7.5. (Lion) installed, which developed a Magic Mouse problem.
Unlike with most users, I have no problems with connection, but grapple with a different kind of erratic behaviour.
All fancy stuff is turned off in the mouse preferences. When I try to move, open or close pages, unrelated submenus pop up and hinder the
required task. No matter how often I click, these menus stay there, and they even come up when clicking on the bare desktop.
It renders the mouse absolutely useless, as no work can be done with it.
The first 'Magic Mouse' had depleted batteries every few days, despite switching it off after use.
I was supplied a new Mouse, which does better battery-wise, but the problems are the same. I can't get a result by clicking on any link, due to
the pop-up menus, so both 'Magic Mice' are totally useless.
At present I am using the old USB mouse from my Mac Pro, and that works still o.k.
The problem are not the mice, but the software. The first 2 weeks after installation of OSX 10.7.5 the Magic Mouse worked though.
I have no idea as to what the reason may be.
Has anyone in the community ever experienced that particular problem. Any hint would be welcomed.
Thank you!

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Is there a large, clear desk pad suitable for use with the Magic Mouse?

My well-loved Magic Mouse will not track on my clear, 36" X 24" desk pad and, thus, I'm looking to replace it with a clear desk pad at least as large, but suitable for use with the Magic Mouse. Currently, I'm using an extra-large Wowpad for my mouse. Would a clear, matte desk pad work as well as the Wowpad with my Magic Mouse, or must I continue to use the Wowpad and seperate desk pad? All suggestions grartefully accepted!

This will be possible once improved sharing and collaboration are released. This will be soon by is not yet available. You will see several threads in the forums of customers requesting folder sharing. Folder sharing will be one part of it, but also there will be private sharing with specific individuals.
Currently you can only share individual files and the shared url is public.

My macbook pro(Lion 10.7.2) continually lost connection with the magic mouse, which charged well.

There is something wrong with my new macbook pro MD322(Lion 10.7.2). It continually lost connection with the magic mouse. I ensure that the mouse is charged well. I also looked up the matter on Web. It looks that the matter is familiar for many users.

I have a m-audio fast track pro that I'm having a similar problem when using it with my new Macbook Air. I found changing it to 16 bit will work.
I have a Apogee iMic that works fine so my guess is we will have to wait for Avid/M-Audio to update drivers.

Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad?

Can the Magic Mouse be paired with the original iPad ?

No, neither the first nor the second gen iPad supports a mouse - there is no cursor for a mouse to control, all you have on the iPad is an insertion point when entering or amending text

Keyboard and the magic mouse cannot using and pairing in win7

Over the years I have had many ISP and email addresses - but now we have finally gone almost fully virtual...
I have a live login and MS ID 4 my SkyDrive account but I only use my MS touch with 8.1, SkyDrive and office 365 for mobility.
And I still like to backup to my own server!!!
What would be good is if I can put all the software licenses and product keys of the software and keep a record of my mac addresses for hardware and even static IP's in a file or a secure location within the MS online store.
That's where MS wants me to get my computing needs from in future and I will always be able to retrieve it in future but what about the $$$$$ I have spent on software, hardware and applications prior to now???
I know u guys love 2 collect data 4 marketing analysis,
4 example I have an old PC that is still running a server from last century - if you knew about it a simple script would allow you to offer upgrades or at least relevant MS products - UNLIKE the rubbish adds I just turn off or tune out
now...
Why cant I add products previous online email purchases into the 1 MS live ID account where I can keep it together? If you make that available I don't have to have separate steam accounts, EA game accounts, ASUS and adobe accounts etc
etc.
What has brought me 2 this is I was looking for my office pro 2007 disks to rebuild a HOME USE ONLY windows 7 laptop (NO touch screen so 8.1 is no benefit at all)
I HAVE 4 Genuine PRODUCT KEYs for Office 2007 BUT EVERY TIME I WENT TO DOWNLOAD the software - regardless of the key I used - I got the error message: We are sorry, but we are unable to complete your request.•The Office 2007 Product Key

That's crap - This is a clean brand spanker install of Win7 and there was nothing b4 I put the oem drivers from Toshiba back on.
I looked at dozens of support pages and forum blogs and tried for hours to get a copy to download - including incognito and other logins but because my default PC name is also my MS Windows live ID the same error was repeated.
I keep away from the non MS sites for these things and with good reason - there were heaps of similar users with the same issue or very close to it that had downloaded from a supposed MS copy from eValue or digital river etc and the next
thing was total corruption of the OS.
EVENTUALLY I found a LIVE MS chat on a support site in the US and she gave me a link to a slightly older version which will need updating and some reg edit changes but so far, so good.
The point is - what a crock !
I should be able to just keep all my software, drivers, updates, service packs, and versions that I have upgraded in the MS store.
If Microsoft aren't going to support XP or Office 2003 and eventually 2007, vista & Windows7 not far behind??? then that's still no excuse for them to put these restrictions and limits when I OWN my copy of the software!!
Unlike office 365 and SkyDrive space which is described in the T&C (that we all read before ticking that radial button to agree of course) as ONLY under a leased licence.
IF Microsoft can support AND develop software that supports SQL2000 Servers, why is it so hard to archive and keep the same info for everyone???

I know that I am not the first one, but again troubles with the magic mouse

Perhaps somebody can help me?
I still have troubles connecting my magic mouse with a Mac Pro (Mac OS 10.6.4). The same mouse works fine with my Macbook (again with 10.6.4). I uninstalled all the additional mouse software that I previously installed (Logitech) and installed the magic mouse software, but it is always only recognized as an Apple wireless mouse, no matter what I do.
Any ideas what to do?

The window could be opening off screen.

Woes With the Magic Mouse...

I am a proud new owner of an iMac 27 Inch computer. Everything is working flawlessly, except for one thing. I have had the computer for maybe two days, transferred all the info from my old iMac.
Recently, I was playing World of Warcraft when the game froze on me and forced me to power down the computer. Upon rebooting my computer, I noticed the mouse cursor speed had been set to an ungodly speed, and the cursor was zooming around the screen like crazy. I nearly had to set the tracking speed all the way down for it to be tolerable. Afterwards, I also noticed that my scroll features on the mouse were no longer working. I opened up the preferences to check and see what was wrong, and now my Mouse Preferences window doesn't even recognize it as a Magic Mouse, but a standard wireless one.
I want to get the Magic Mouse back up and working, but I have no idea where to go from here. As far as I know, I have all the drivers installed and working, am up to date with Snow Leopard 10.6.4, but the mouse is not being recognized as anything but a standard wireless.
Please help.

Hi m:
There are several things you can try (more or less one at a time) to try to fix the problem.
1. Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
2. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
3. Reset the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
4. Reset PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
5. Go to system preferences>bluetooth and delete the mouse. Restart and see if it is discovered as a magic mouse.
6. If everything else fails, reinstall OS X 10.6 from your software install DVD (over your existing system) and then run software update.

Will the magic mouse work well with my iMac G5?

I was wondering before i buy the Magic mouse cause my mighty mouse is getting old, if it will work with my iMac?
i did upgrade to leopard so i was wondering if it will work?
thanks!

Based on the system requirements, on the product listing page at the Apple Store
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A
it will work. Scrolling works with Leopard. +Momentum Scrolling+ makes the scroll continue a bit after you stop the motion with your finger, like the action has "momentum." Snow Leopard is required for that feature to work.

Used the dot on old mouse to bring up Fandango and calendar. How do I do that with the Magic Mouse?

How do I bring up Fandango and the tiny calendar to my Desktop with my new Magic Mouse? The old mouse had a roller ball that I would press and they would spring from the right side of the screen.

That sounds like Dashboard. Don't know of way to set a gesture for that but you could set a hot corner in System Preferences > Expose and Spaces > Expose tab. Just set one of the corners to Dashboard and when you move the cursor to that corner dashboard will pop up.
Also the F4 key for newer keyboards and F12 for older keyboards will do the same thing.
You can also start the program Dashboard that appears in the dock.

Flash player mess up with the browser interface when using aero

when i visit the youtube and some other video websites and scroll the pages, the flash player would just mess up with the firefox interface. And i'm pretty sure that has something to do with the aero transparent effects. Does anyone has the same problem?

TS3048 are there any known issues with the magic mouse? i believe mine is buggy and has been crashing Logic

mac pro quad core 2.8Ghz Lion 10.7.4 12 GB ram
magic mouse behaves very erratically; seems buggy and tracks slow. will crash Logic when rubber-banding or moving events in piano roll edit windeo. very frustrating. have not been able to duplicate this crash using my old wired mouse (from my G4)
someone at a Mac store suggested i may have a"bad" mouse... what gives? any help would be appreciated. i will be happy to replace the mouse if that is the issue...robert

Hello,
In answer to your question, I have not heard of any "known problems."
The device may, indeed, be faulty. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC before you buy a new one.

Time machine on Lion crashes the whole system when used with external HD

Hi all,
Anybody got the same problem? I did a Time Machine backup just before I did the upgrade to Lion (using an external USB HDD) after the upgrade (that went well in my opinion) when I ask TM to do another backup it stays on "Preparing" indefenately and ultimately crashes the whole system ( reset with ctrl+cmd+power button) is required otherwhise the system stays non reactive.
Regards,
Iwan

Start by verifying your internal HD, and repair your backups, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, see #D6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for a possible way to cancel the backup. If that works, use the widget in #A1 there to display the backup messages from your logs. Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

How to click-hold with the Magic Mouse

Can you tell me how to set up my Magic Mouse so it can click-hold, so that I can drag something without holding down the click?

To my knowledge, no such function exists.
