Airport interferes with magic mouse

Using mac mini:
At location 1 via airport and ADSL: the magic mouse jerks around, loses link, stalls. Restart fixes for a few minutes, then it begins again. Keyboard jams too. Testing location 1: turning off airport everything works, but of course cannot use email or web. Old USB mouse works. Cordless phone is disconnected. Nothing appears to be interferring.
At location 2 via airport and broadband modem: a different magic mouse on same mac mini works fine. A different keyboard is stable.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Pat Woolley

The usb port on the AX is intended primarily for compatible usb printers. Your keyboard and mouse will not work.

  • Scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt  work anymore

    Suddenly scrolling and rightclicking with magic mouse doesnt work any more. Left clicking and cursor moving works normal. I have checked the system preferences for the mouse and find nothing strange or unchecked. Any ideas?

    Also tried the universal access thing. Doesnt work.

  • Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

    Hi There,
    Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
    So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
    +You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
    So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?

    Hi zulficarr
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

    Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.

  • Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

    Hi
    In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default. 
    How can i change this behaviour?

    I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
    I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
    I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
    If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
    In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

  • HT4288 Hand writing Chinese with Magic Mouse? OR Trackpad only?

    I am using an iMac with Magic mouse and I could not find the Handwriting Chinese function! Do I have to get a trackpad to enable the hadwriting function?
    If yes, Can I have both magic mouse and the trackpad working at the same time?

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect

    This sounds like a hardware issue. I haven't seen this particular problem reported before.

    Hello,

  • Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

    I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and  on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Magic Trackpad won't work with Magic Mouse on brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac

    I have a brand new 2011 27" i5 iMac which I bought with Snow Leopard pre-loaded. Naturally, I included the new Magic Trackpad in my purchase, and though there were some problems with the device in SL - such as it going haywire without explanation - it generally worked, although battery levels were erratic (one day 80%, then an hour later 42%, then 80% again).
    When I installed Lion I did a clean install after backing up to Time Machine - and a Super Dupered external drive. I had some difficulties trying to install Lion from an external flash drive so I deleted again and reinstalled SL, then reinstalled over the SL install I did (with no other software except Mac OS X 10.6.8 and other system updates to facilitate install). Rather than copying apps from my old SL drive, I downloaded fresh copies and reinstalled one by one. I don't use a lot of apps apart from Microsoft Office, browsers and iLife and have not installed any additional scripts, extensions or add-ons (like USB Overdrive). It's a pretty clean install.
    Since then, although I'm generally happy with Lion, the Magic Trackpad won't work! It does work for a little while with basic gestures - mainly moving the cursor and scrolling - then it gives up the ghost and loses connectivity. I have done the following:
    Disconnected and reconnected the MTP after turning it on and off. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Shut the computer down, pulled out the plug, waited two minutes, then started up again. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Run Onyx, shut down computer, then pulled out plug (see above).
    Checked options in Universal Access, shut off "Ignore other devices when trackpad in use" (or whatever the option is). MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    Turned off the Magic Mouse. MTP works for about two minutes, goes crazy then no response.
    But none of this seems to work! I know the MTP is connected because I can see it in the BT menu in the menu bar and also in System Preferences. I have noticed since upgrading that my permissions - which when I bought the computer were totally clean - now run lines and lines about "Library/Core Services" so I am unsure whether this is related. I also notice a lot of people are in the same boat as me, which makes me wonder if it's either a hardware issue or a release issue - after a week or so of totally silent running, my 2TB Hitachi HDD started up with the grumbly tum. I'd really appreciate any tips from anyone out there!

    Hi, marksaner
    You could try installing the latest version of the Synaptics driver. Synaptics is the company that makes the UltraNav driver and drivers for many other computer brands. This driver should have the same functionality as the UltraNav driver, so there's no worry there. You can find the driver here. 
    Hope it helps,

  • Has anyone figured out a way to scroll & swipe with magic mouse again after upgrading to Maverick? Thanks!

    I finally upgraded to Maverick and now my magic mouse doesn't scroll or swipe on any application and to make things worse, my keyboard scrolling ability after pressing down on the arrows is a bit delayed. Does anyone know how to solve this? My magic mouse and keyboard are a month old, so, I know it's not the devices, but something with the update.
    Things I've done from reading other forums:
    1.  Went to System Preferences/Mouse Settings [but it only gives me two settings: Tracking & Double-Click Speed]
    2. I've reset my PRAM a few timesnow.
    3. Tried restarting my computer a few times too, but nothing.
    4. I've tried searching for these files in my Library to DELETE, but they don't exist, so that method is not an option:
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.list
    com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
    Also, my bluetooth capabilites are no longer available because of this update. :^/
    Thanks in advance!

    or my actual question is -- is there anything inherantly wrong with this approach.. i mean, if i can get it to make it through consistently, is there a problem with it repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row? is it a drain on system resources or can it break anything etc.?
    Although I'm far from being an expert in programming, I would answer NO. Imho, you've just got a brillant idea! (As for “repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row”… you could add a short delay (like “delay 1”) inside the repeat block, but I don't think it's a must.)

  • Preference  problem with Magic Mouse

    I set my Magic Mouse scrolling preference to 'Fast' and it doesn't seem to stick, will revert to medium usually with a few hours.
    I guess i should try to delete a preference file, but which one?
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks

    this looks like the 1st time these forums will fail me
    someone must be able to help?

  • 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.

  • Cant scroll with magic mouse

    All of a sudden i can´t scroll with the magic mouse?

    When Mavericks was first released, you had to set swiping between web pages to three fingers, and swipe between full-screen apps to four fingers, then two worked for the Finder.
    But, I think that might have been a leftover that was removed as I can't seem to make it work anymore.
