Why can't I scroll with my Magic Mouse?

Just bought the Magic Mouse and the pointer works but none of the swipe functions work. Why?

Have you configured the various gestures with the Mouse System Preferences?

Why does my iMac panic and crash when I scroll with my magic mouse or trackpad

Question Why does my iMac have kernel panics whenever I scroll with my magic mouse or trackpad

Sorted....needed a new logic board...£800... thank god for applecare

My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
Thanks for your reply!

Why can't I scroll with up/down arrows in iTunes 10.5.2

After updating to iTunes 10.5.2, you cannot scroll up or down with the scroll arrows.
The lists only move two clicks when you hold the arrow. There is really is a bug.

Really Annoyed is exactly right. This seems such a simple problem that it's crazy that it can't be solved.
Is it anything to do with iTunes being "overloaded" with files.
I have approx 130GB of music - and about half of them are AIFF files. Does that make a difference?

Anyone noticed Safari scrolling too fast (Magic Mouse)?

Has anyone reading this noticed that scrolling with a Magic Mouse, while in Finder, other Apps (or Browsers such as Chrome and FF) is commensurate with the Scroll settings set in System Preferences \ Mouse \ Scrolling, but that in Safari, those settings are greatly amplified, or multiplied, making scrolling wildly unpredictable, frustrating, and basically useless?
The behavior I'm experiencing is that even the gentlest and shortest distance vertical touch will scream up, or down, the page, past the content displayed in between.
I noticed this behavior, while still evident, is slightly muted when scrolling with the mouse is applied to (or over) the blue scroll bar, but nowhere near what one might qualify as normal.
This is with Safari 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) and OS X 10.6.5.

HI,
Login to another user account and try scrolling Safari there. If it's ok there, then it's your just the one user account that's effected.
In that account try emptying the Safari cache, Command + Option +E. Relaunch Safari.

Why can't I scroll only in Safari with my magic mouse

Every so often I can't scroll only in Safari ( Firefox etc. OK) with my magic mouse. I can resolve that by quitting Safari, holding the option key while clicking on Go. This brings up library,click and click on caches. Then click on Apple: safari. Trash the cachesDB and empty trash. Click on Safari and the previously open window comes back up and you can scroll. This lasts an indeterminate amount of time and then freezes again. How can I fix this permanently?

I just turned them off. Will see whether this solves the problem when I can go for days without it freezing. Thanks. One question. Why are the extensions on in the first place?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
thanks,

First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
If it is an email address then:
Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

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

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

Hi ronhermes,
I hope you're having a lovely vacation!
I think it may just be a matter of completing your our purchase through the US Adobe Store (not the Adobe Store in Greece). For more information, see "Are there any workarounds?" in this document.

Why can't I scroll down on windows of certain sites? Like the new BMO site!

Why can't I scroll down on windows of certain sites? Like the new BMO site! Please help, I'm going crazy!

Use two fingers held together to scroll within a window on a web page.
The iPad User Guide is bookmarked for you in Safari. If you're new to iOS devices, you may want to give it a read through.
Best of luck.

Can I perform the "control F3" function with my magic mouse?

If I press "control + F3" all of my open Safari windows pop up in an orgainzed fashion showing each page complete and seperate in a smaller form. I want to know if I can perform this function using my magic mouse, not trackpad.
I know that if I double tap my mouse that the windows will do a similar alignment, but it is not the same. If I double tap then they are kind of made smaller but placed on top of each other. I want them seperated completely like they are when I press "control + F3."
Any help with this? Thanks.

Why can't I communicate with both of my GPIB devices?

I have 1 NI PCI GPIB board in my computer
I have 2 identical devices (keithley 237) connected one at address 15 one at address 16
and 2 different programs one program to connect with 15 and 1 to connect with 16
after I tell the 1st labview program to communicate with 15 then I tell the 2nd labview program to communicate with 16. then both communications come back with error device timeout. one at a time, I can communicate find with either device.
Why can't I communicate with two different GPIB devices at the same time?

Hi mrutter,
first I would try some other addresses, e.g. 5 and 11. 15, 16 could be
a special address used by the controller.
Are there any other devices on the GPIB? If so then there could be
another instrument with the same ID. Do both (or all) devices show in
MAX, and can you communicate with them in MAX (e.g. query a *IDN? )
And are you sure that you *have* setup the correct addresses in the
Keithley instruments (look in the manuals if you don't know how to
change their addresses)? Some Keithley instrument are in local mode by
default, and you must explicitely set them in GPIB mode.
Sometimes, GPIB message termination can be an issue (although both the
GPIB cards and the instruments seem to get more tolerant of this).
Also, you must be very careful not to mix different versions of
LabView drivers and LabView version. I once had three different
LabView versions on a PC, it was terrible. We had to format the
harddisk and start afresh since we couldn't remove all of the older
versions.
I first try all GPIB instruments in MAX. If all devices appear there,
and I can query commands in MAX, then I usually write my own LabView
drivers with the standard GPIB-read and -write VIs. I write them with
my oldest LabView version (say 5.1), then I am sure they will work
with all versions up to 7.1
Actually I once had a project where *no* GPIB instrument worked 100%.
We could never really find out what was the problem (it was probably a
bad PC <-> Win98 <-> GPIB card <-> LabView 5.1 constellation).
Good luck.
Johannes
