Are replacement "rails" available for the Magic Mouse

After only a month or two, the rails on the bottom of my Magic Mouse have worn down allowing the battery cover to scrape on my desktop. Is it possible to replace these?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
So stop using sandpaper for a mouse pad...
The Mouse is covered under the one year iMac warranty and for three if you have Apple Care. Jot down your iMac's serial number and drop by your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and get it exchanged. > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

  • Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

    Hi,
    I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
    I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
    which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
    but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
    work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
    I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
    when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
    so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
    ¿Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Allan Jones,
    I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
    but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
    Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
    for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
    is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
    special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
    they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • What is the best battery for the magic mouse? I replace every month

    What is the best batteries to use with the Magic Mouse? I am changing mine every month, I purchased the IMAC in April this year.

    Good choice...even if that do not last as long as Apple claims (like any batteris DO ) you have a set charged and ready to go...no trip to the store for batteries at 2:00 AM.  And far be it for me to advocate doing thie, any rechargeable batteries of the same specs will work with the Apple charger...they don't have to be the shiney silver batteries

  • Critical Battery-Life for the Magic Mouse

    Hello, i use the magic mouse approx. one week and the the batterystatus is 80 %. Is this normal ?

    My wife has been using hers for 3 weeks and it shows 52% left in the batteries that came with it. They are Energizers. She uses her computer a lot. Probably 6 solid hours a day.

  • Is there a tutorial for the Magic Mouse?

    New terms suddenly pop up, and I have no idea of what they mean or are talking about.
    Where is the right click or center click? How many clicks are required?

    On the Magic Mouse there isn't a center click, just left and right.  The right click must be enabled in System Preferences > Mouse.  It's the "secondary" click option.  Apple referres to right click as secondary click.
    Most things just need one click.

  • Accessory or Mod for the Magic Mouse to Give it Buttons?

    Hi. The Magic Mouse is great when you're surfing, doing photos and things that. The freedom of one click mouse and gestures is great for these things when you don't need performance that much. It's a great mouse, easy to use and very relaxing for those tasks. But for gaming, most especially for shooters, it's not that great because it tends to click things by accident. I'd be nice to not have two mice for cost. Is there an accessory or a mod (link to that mod) that you can snap-on buttons for it (with scroll, there was a company who did that with the Apple puck mouse for the original iMac if I remember)?

  • Why is the battery charger for the magic mouse and wireless keyboard not included in the package when I bought my iMac?

    I was not given a choice or let known that I would receive wireless keyboard and mouse that requires charging. If I had known earlier I would have asked for non-wireless devices or bought the charger on spot.
    The charger should've been a given and not be considered as a separate accessory that requires to be bought. This is the same as having bought an iPhone but not given the charger.
    I am very disappointed with Apple regarding this matter. I hope it'll be resolved soon.

    Oh, okay now I see where you're coming from. Sorry, I didn't know that they provided us with non-rechargeable batteries instead.
    Well in that case, they should've provided us with rechargeable batteries instead of the alkaline ones. I mean, the sole purpose of having wireless mouse/keyboard is the purpose of convenience. Having to replace the batteries (that don't last very long from my experience) does not seem convenient to me.
    What's more, by providing users with non-rechargeable batteries is not an environmentally friendly choice as this results in an increase in disposal of hazardous waste. I'm bringing this environmental issue up because they have an environmental policy in their company, and on their website they talk about their environmental resposibilities which is quite contradicting as shown in their actions, don't you think?

  • My system preferences not offering multi-touch functions for new magic mouse

    I just bought a magic mouse for my Mac OS X 10.5.8 desktop. It is not letting me set up the multi-touch gesture funtions.  When I go into my 'system preferences / keyboard & mouse' it does not offer the set up of the multi-touch functions for the magic mouse.  Do you know how I can set these functions up on my computer???  The instruction manual says it works with Mac OS X 10.5.8???  I want to be able to use the magic mouse to scroll and swipe. 
    Thanks for your help!

    I see the requirements are:
    Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
    OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
    Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
    Two AA batteries (included)
    Are you using a Mac with a Bluetooth wireless transmitter?

  • No Scrolling on the Magic Mouse 10.5.8

    I have installed my new magic mouse and have 10.5.8. All functions work except for the scroll feature. I ran all software updates but this is not working. The video about the magic mouse leads me to believe that I have to have Snow Leopard. Is this true? When I go to system preferences and click on Mouse, I can only adjust the tracking and clicking speeds, no options for the scroll feature. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this one.......

    This thread should help. Note the link at the top for the Magic Mouse software is incorrect you need to go here

  • Can Application Switcher Be Assigned To The Magic Mouse ?

    I have been a Might Mouse user now since it was released and it's been a very productive mouse... allowing me lots of options while I navigate my finder and files... and assigned Application Switcher to the track ball nipple was for me a must have feature... and now my whole workflow has now become based on this simple feature. I recently purchased a new MacPro 12 Core with Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The Magic TrackPad I just can't get my fingers adjusted to... so I have counted that out... but the new Magic Mouse I like... I like the way it feels in the hand... I like the wireless feel about it... but the lack of the track ball is proving a difficult adjustment. I have started using CMD TAB but that's proving less effective as I'm sometimes getting mixed up with key stroke shortcuts for Adobe Acrobat... for Quitting etc...
    I need to decide what mouse to use... as switching between both is even more confusing. Is the Magic Mouse the absolute future... so should I just stick with that... and adapt... or go back to me seamless Mighty Mouse workflow.
    If I could assign the Application Switcher to the Magic Mouse I would stay with it I think.... it's the lack of support for the key feature is proving to be the deal breaker.
    Anyone have any comments, advice, suggestions. All comments would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Anthony

    Hi-
    Can't predict the future, but I understand the dilemma with regards to which is a better mouse.
    For app switching, there is a way to do such, but at the cost of a lost function:

  • Can the magic mouse be set to emulate a right click when tapped?

    I recently purchased an Apple Magic Mouse.
    I also have a MBP with a track pad which I have configured to do a right click when I tap it.
    The small problem I have is that the AMM needs to be pressed similar to the way the track pad used to before I configured the tap-to-click.
    Can this be done for the magic mouse.
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Barry

    Hello there, bholtzkener.
    To set up secondary click on the mouse the following article should provide very helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11298
    The screen where you make the choice looks like this:
    Keep in mind, the mouse should be used with the Apple logo at the base of the hand and should provide the "click" sensation when you tap the other side with finger tips.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • 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!

  • I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! Any suggestions for a solid alternative for graphics use?

    I have the 27" Intel Based Mac and LOVE the machine...brilliant, beautiful, fast! I also LOVE the wireless keyboard...light, responsive, awesome! But I HATE the Magic Mouse...hate hate hate! I work with Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Mastersuite CS5) and the mouse control and scroll are all over the place. I need precision control. I need the mouse to stay where I want it to and scroll when I ask it and not scroll when I need to be zoomed in at 6400%.
    Now, There HAS to be a good, solid user controlled wireless mouse that works well with the mac! Please HELP!!
    Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

    What is the problem with just using a good old fashioned WIRED mouse?  When we spec computers for purchase for use by our graphic design, animation and digital photo student lab systems, we always go with a wired mouse..  Better control and more reliable operation are the reasons.  The fact that they are less likely to "wander off" is another big plus for us.
    We also go with wired, with numeric keypad, keyboards so we do not have to worry about batteries going down on either mouse or keyboard./  Yep, it is a step backward in technology but reliablity and ease of use trumps "bleeding edge" technology in this case.
    If you want you can also have the Magic Mouse on the system but either shut off or stuck up in some corner of the desk where you won't hit it by accident.  That way if you do decide you need the "touch pad" features, they are still available.

  • TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

    Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?
