Cant use scroll on magic mouse

I just bought the mouse and set it up exactly how it said to. The mouse clicks and moves on the screen but the touch features do not work. I have OSX 10.5.8 and i put the magic mouse software update 1.0 on, but it still does not work. The system preferences window also does not show the same options that are on the instructions. Any help Please??

Note that the update doesn't take affect until after you boot. If you rebooted and it doesn't work, try the update again from here.

  • 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.

  • Hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

    hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

    thank you, i have tried you suggestion but it is still just prompting me to restart rather than allowing me to install the os from the os boot disk. the problem began when the macbook was just showing me a folder icon with a question mark on it rather than starting normally. reading through forums lead me to replace the hard drive and hard drive data cable to try and resolve the issue. however, even after having done this the folder with the question mark is still appearing. i cannot get the os istall disk to boot properly. it recognises that the disk is in the drive but continually prompts me to restart and wont allow me to boot from the disk. sorry if my previouse discription wasnt accurate. does this soun familliar and can you help with this more detailed discription of the problem? thank you.

  • 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.

  • Why are my web pages scrolling half way down by themselves while I'm using my apple magic mouse. And no, it's not the mouse, apple replaced it

    Only in Firefox when I'm at a site the page will scroll down about half way and stop at by itself which is annoying when I am filling out a form or looking for something. I use to have a problem when I was scrolling and the page would freeze and I would have to go to the scroll bar and manually move the page up and down to active the scroll on my mouse and yes this is a new mouse replaced by Apple.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • 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.

  • Scrolling with Magic Mouse in Firefox

    Occasionally, maybe once per day, when I open the Bookmarks menu in Firefox, my Magic Mouse won't scroll up or down. I close the menu, open it again, and the Magic Mouse works fine. The Firefox Bookmarks menu is the only place I've noticed this or any kind of quirky behavior with the Magic Mouse. Anyone know what could be causing this?

    I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
    1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
    2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
    3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
    4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
    5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
    WheelLeft::return
    WheelRight::return
    #MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
    6) Save file
    7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
    7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
    Hope this helps! Good Luck

  • Scrolling on Magic mouse no longer work after OSX update

    I have just performed an OSX update and after restarting I immediately noticed that the scrolling function and other gestures no longer work on the magic mouse. I have also noticed that no gestures work on the Mac Book Pro track pad. The only function that works on the mouse is moving the mouse pointer and the buttons. Same goes for the track pad. Some great update that was. Has anyone else discovered this and how do I repair this loss of function? When I first initiated the update, I saw that there was a download required which mention some improvements for the mouse/keyboard but mainly updates required to support the new magic track pad. Is it possible to revert this individual update and if so how? Thanks.

    You were almost correct, but not quite. You can see updates in /Library/Updates. I'm not sure what receipts is, but it didn't contain the track pad/mouse update package I was expecting to see. However, I did eventually find it in Updates after a trip to my local Apple store. What happened was that the original update process completed about 95% but for some reason crashed. When I restarted, it appeared that there was nothing wrong, until that is I tried to use the mouse and track pad. I presume that the update process uninstalled the previous package but didn't actually install the new update. I downloaded the the latest update from Apple, but it appeared to be older than what I downloaded from the Update process, so it wouldn't install. I would suggest that here lies a bug. The package install process did detect the new trackpad / mouse package but it didn't detect that it wasn't installed and should have prompted me to install it.

  • TS3039 Can I use my Apple magic mouse in windows 7?

  • I would like to AirPlay mirror my iMac and be able to use both my magic mouse and wireless keyboard, but the bluetooth range won't let me. Is there a way to extended its range?

    I am buying an iMac to AirPlay mirror on my big screen TV with AppleTV (2nd generation). But my TV is located far away from my iMac and I won't be able to use my magic mouse or wireless keyboard via bluetooth connection. I know I can use an app to simulate both mouse and keyboard, but I really need to use the actual devices.  
    I wish there was a way to pair them to my iPad or iPhone, via bluetooth, and control my iMac via network. It is a cheap solution, as I wouldn't need to buy any other device. I believe all these devices, without modifications, have enough technology to be able to work as I've imagined. The only need was to adapt the software.
    Is there a solution simple as this one, or do I have to buy a Bluetooth extender in order to use my magic mouse and wireless keyboard? If so, which BT extender do you suggest and what is its range?
    Thank you!

    If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

  • Can I use Lion without magic mouse or pad

    I am interested in updating to Lion on a mac mini at work but it doesn't have a magic mouse or pad. Will I be able to use the sliding features with a regular mouse?

    Sorry, but no.
    For the Multi-Touch Gestures you have to have/use a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or a Mac Notebook with Multi-Touch Trackpad.

    Nonetheless, a standard mouse can be used with OSX Lion but without Gestures then.

  • Use of the Magic Mouse

    Is it necessary to pair the Magic Mouse with the computer every time y boot or reboot my computer? For the moment there is a Bluetooth USB Host Controller plugged in one of the USB terminators of the keyboard, to enable Bleutooth.

    Thx for the reply William, but the situation is still the same. The mouse is now one of the favourite devices, but there is no change in the way things go.
    Even if I leave the power switch on (on the Magic Mouse), the Bluetooth preference panel is lounged after starting the computer. And there is no mouse found. If I switch the mouse off and back on again the computer reports the mouse. And only after the second attempt the computer is able to pair to the mouse. Ones that is done the device works fine.

  • Cant use scroll feature on my mouse pad(Labtop)

    Only under Firefox does this happen. When i move my finger to the right of the mouse pad i see the option to scroll up and down the page, but i cant do this when i use Mozilla, it was working fine before

    -> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General section -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Use Autoscrolling 2) Use Smooth Scrolling
    -> Remove Checkmarks from '''Always use cursor keys to navigate within pages'''
    -> click OK -> Restart Firefox
    Check and tell if its working.
    Also, Tap '''F7''' to Toggle '''Caret Browsing''' ON/OFF.

  • Cant use mac without a mouse

    I've tried to use the mac using keyboard shortcuts but cant get any where i need to go. Ive printed off the support from apple but one problem remains, i cant move between menu items. For example, i tried to open the Universal Access menu using the shortcuts and it worked to a degree. But i cant move between the menu bar options. also, i cant open the necessary menu for mouse keys.
    Does anyone have any idean what im on about and can anyone help? PLease, im going out my mind here!!!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi hellfirehound!
    Until you get a new mouse, see if this helps.
    Menubar Keyboard Navigation
    Depress the Control + F1 keys.
    Then depress the Control + F2 keys.
    Now when you position your cursor on the the Menubar, and click once, the contextual menu will drop down.
    You can then navigate to each menu heading using the ?Right Arrow Key, and the ?Left Arrow Key.
    When you reach the menu heading you want, use the ?Down Arrow Key, to descend in the contextual menu, or the ?Up Arrow Key to ascend.
    Use the Enter or Return key, to initiate the function.
