Apple Magic Mouse tracking speed

Is there a reason that every time I restart my 15" 2010 MBP that system preferences forgets my tracking speed for the magic mouse? It is very annoying to have to go into system preferences and changer it everytime I do a system restart. Operating system is the latest Version of Mavericks.
Thank you for any help to answer or resolve this issue.

Thank you I had that program installed and the tracking speed in that application was set slower and was overriding the mouse preference. Simple Fix. Thanks again!

Mouse tracking speed not saving in Lion

Lion does not appear to remember/save my mouse tracking speed setting. I set it to a faster speed but it reverts every time I restart. Is there a .plist file somewhere that I can delete to maybe fix this? Anyone else experience this? Thanks.

Im using Razer Death Adder also on my iMac27"
Since i upgraded to OSX Lion... im having the same problem as well..
Everytime i turn on my computer... it resets to the lowest speed..
I have to re-adjust my mouse speed setting....
oh also... if i change the speed as soon as OSX is booted, and open up an application afterworth.. like firefox or WoW..
it resets again!!
So now i have to open up an application first and then change the mouse speed setting... so i dont have to change the setting twice......
this is stupid...
seems like no promise of driver or firmware update from both apple nor Razer....
anyone have solution to this?
btw i do not use Magic Prefs

Magic trackpad tracking speed changes

My Magic trackpads tracking speed changes to slow when I log off. I have to reset it when I log on.
How do I set the tracking speed to stay put?

If you use MagicPrefs, some people believe that causes the Magic Trackpad to default back to slowest tracking speed on restart/relog. Have a look at the Magic Prefs preferences pane for the Trackpad and see if you can change the default tracking speed in that instead of the System Preferences pane.
If you don't use MagicPrefs, there is a fix using Terminal for the same problem with the Magic Mouse, and it may work for the trackpad too. I'm adapting this from Tyler Nicols' post on his blog.
Open a Terminal Window
Enter the following command to see what your current setting is:
         defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling
This will return a numeric value. To speed up (or slow down) your mouse tracking, you can simply change this number accordingly by typing the following command, replacing the “your_trackpad_speed” with a new number such as 5.0. Notice that read has been changed to write:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling your_trackpad_speed
So, for example:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling 5.0
You may need to restart your mac to see the changes take effect.
Let me know if it works for you.

Can anyone tell me why my apple magic mouse isn't working on my computer i've tried new batterys but it still doesn't work

I bought a macbook pro and apple magic mouse 6 months ago and it has worked in the past, but when I tried to use it earlier it doesn't work. The macbook seems to recognise it but when you move the mouse the curser stays put. The track pad still works though, any sugestions?

Apple Magic Mouse and Headset

As soonas i run my Apple Magic Mouse together wit my samsung hm3100 my mouse is loosing the connection as soon as i switch of muy head set everything is fine Macbook Pro 17 inch snow 10.6.8
Any idea
Thanx

Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but I'm having issues with this as well. Using my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse causes pandora to speed up and slow down all the time (really weird sounding) and then intermittant drops. I'm on a 2011 macbook pro with 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7 etc etc. I don't really think I'm doing something that outside of the box, i mean I get that there are limits to how much data can be pushed through bluetooth, but you'd think that would be within reach... Can you prioritize the data such that the sound quality is never affected? I'd rather my mouse be a bit jumpy than the sound be all funky...

Apple Magic Mouse and ID

I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
Thanks for any ideas.

I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
IMHO big Apple Fail.

Mouse tracking speed decreased in Mavericks

I've noticed that after upgreading to Mavericks my Mouse tracking speed decreased in comparison to Mountain Lion. (I have tracking speed in preferences set to max)
Do you have any idea how to increase tracking speed? If not, Apple you should leave the range of tracking speed as it was.

I was experiencing the same problem after updating to Mavericks and as a graphic designer it was driving me absolutely CRAZY. After doing some research online I found this: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34817/mouse-acceleration
It's a quick, free download and it completely solved my problem. Now I actually enjoy Mavericks.
Apple why do you keep changing things that work fine to begin with? This is iTunes 11 all over again.

Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
Thanks in advance.

The same with the trackpad!
Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

How to Setup Apple Magic Mouse in Windows 7?

Hi,
I have a MBP that runs "Apple OS X 10.6.3" and "Windows 7 Ultimate".
I also purchased an "Apple Magic Mouse".
I have no problem setting up the Apple Magic Mouse on the Mac side, but don't know how to set up the Apple Magic Mouse in the Windows 7.
So how do I make my Apple Magic Mouse work in the Windows 7?
Thanks.

Hi,
I clicked "Add wireless devices", but it cannot show apple magic mouse.
i put my apple magic mouse for a while and let bluetooth search, the apple magic mouse can be used, but still not showing in the panel.
if i have to wait for 1 or 2 mins for the mbp to recognize my apple magic mouse,(in the windwos 7 of course), then it's too tedious.
anyway that can solve this problem?

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

HT2845 can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS

I can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp,running Windows 7 Ultimate on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS........ It works perfectly on the Apple ,

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
I then found this particular support page:

Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.
I use the printer through usb but my wife uses wireless from her PC laptop.

Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse. You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse. Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless. The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
The wired mouse is a regular problem. After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so. Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight. Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper. This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc. Then try again
