Google Maps zooms with Apple magic mouse

Ever since I bought the Apple magic mouse, I've noticed that whenever I use Google Maps via my desktop Apple, the map will zoom without me telling it to in street view.  This is INCREDIBLY annoying when trying to view a street or move across the map.  Anyway one else encounter this issue?  Anyone have a solution?

Hey Dogs 'n Front- I have the same problem- I've had a Magic Mouse for years and never had the zoom problem with Google maps up until maybe a year ago?It's actually a fairly common problem that even CNET had an article about it a few years ago- sadly the problem still exists. I have a MacBook Air as well and have no problem with the trackpad scroll zoom and Google Maps, seems the Magic Mouse is just too sensitive...

  • Turning off CMD + SCROLL zooming with Apple Magic Mouse?

    Scrolling with Apple's Magic Mouse is extremely sensitive in Fireworks, so sometimes when I use a keyboard shortcut that involves the command key and I accidentally leave it pressed for just a split second after I perform the shortcut and I scroll at the same time, Fireworks will recognize the held-down key as wanting to "scroll'n zoom" and will quickly zoom in way too far/far out, sometimes causing the program to hang for freeze. Has anyone else experienced this and would be able to explain it better? It happens way too much for me. :/

    Hi
    Same probem is here, suddenly pointer stopped to be active and no tracking at all. All buttons, gestures etc are performing well.
    - paired / unpaired > no result
    - replaced batteries > no result
    - cleaned contacts inside mouse > no result
    - cleaned laser > no result
    Light is blinking only a few after mouse is connected, and completely stops to blink, while mouse buttons are working.
    Tried to find solution on web, does not help much.
    Any solution?
    Thanks

  • Horizontal Scroll does not work with Apple Magic Mouse

    Horizontal Scroll does not work with Apple Magic Mouse as it does with other Adobe software such as Photoshop.

    The system preferences window for the mouse has changed. The GUI elements are different.

  • Inadvertant web page zooming with new magic mouse

    Just added a magic mouse to my 2006 mac mini.  Now web pages suddenly magnify randomly, and can't get them to return to normal size.  How do I correct this?

    I've found that (both through personal experience, and seeing reports on the forums) the Magic Mouse has problems falsely detecting the double-tap (which is what has activated the zoom).
    You can leave the feature on, and double-tap the mouse to zoom out, or turn off "Double-tap to zoom" in the Mouse preference panel.

  • 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?

  • 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...

    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 suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

  • HT201933 How can I use my trackpad and my Apple Magic Mouse at the same time? If I don't have my mouse with me I can't use my laptop. The trackpad only moves an arrow around but doesn't let me click on anything?

    When I want to use only my laptop without the apple magic mouse, how do I disable the mouse so that the trackpad works?

    Hi, thanks for your answer,
    No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
    I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
    That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
    But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
    I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
    And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
    Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
    thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol

  • I would like to purchase a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse to use on my new HP Windows 8.1 laptop. Will it work?

    Would a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse work on my new HP PC laptop running windows 8.1? The laptop has bluetooth on it. I like the mouse and would like to have it bluetooth enabled on a PC laptop. Has anyone had any success with this? Thanks

    It's not officially supported, but Google "magic mouse windows 8" for a variety of potential solutions.

  • 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

  • Ugly issue with my Magic Mouse

    I have a Magic Mouse that has work essentially flawlessly for quite a while.
    I run VMware Fusion so I can run Windows XP and the Magic Mouse worked great there as well. Tonight I was trying something and I told VMware Fusion to connect the Apple Bluetooth USB Host Controller to Windows XP. Well, at this point my Magic Mouse connectivity stopped and man did my troubles begin.
    I quickly told Vmware to disconnect the USB Host Controller from Windows but this hasn't fixed my new issues with the Magic Mouse. At this point my Magic Mouse is barely functional.
    The symptoms are this:
    - If I disconnect the mouse using the tool bar blue tooth indicator and then reconnect it, the blue tooth indicator says the mouse is connected but it doesn't work. I have to physically power down the mouse and back on before it work.
    - When it does kinda work, the mouse at times "jumps" across the screen so I have to be very careful how quickly I move it at times.
    - The multi-touch scroll feature no longer works. It worked in Windows XP as well ... not any more.
    - When I click on the bluetooth icon and try to bring up the Mouse Properties it takes QUITE a long time.
    When I try to get the system to "discover" the mouse again, it can take quite a long time and the following shows up in the Console App:
    10/7/10 2:32:58 AM kernel [0e65d000][BNBMouseDevice::init][54] init is complete

    I want my Magic Mouse back !!!!
    Any idea anyone ?
    P.S. I'm sssssoooo freak'n mad to VMware right now.

    Sounds to me like you have one of several issues going on there.
    You may have a lot of interference in the same frequency as your bluetooth device.
    Or - you may have a bad bluetooth transceiver in either your mouse or your computer.
    Take the mouse to another computer with bluetooth on it and sync it to that - if it works fine then your computer or your environment is the culprit there ( um this assumes that you took your mouse to another location, say your friends house where the interference threshold is bound to be different than at your house), and you should then take your computer out of the house for the day, and see how the mouse works away from home.
    If the mouse is bad - you will have issues if you take it to another location - replace it - check warranty
    If you think is is your house / place you have your computer, that may contain an the interference that messes with your mouse:
    Try turning everything off you can think of in your house / office, and see if it gets better. Also - a big one - make sure that your computer and mouse are not to close to any speakers / etc, as they do have a magnetic field that could cause a mess with bluetooth mice. (rare but it happens)
    As you can see in your error message:
    10/7/10 2:32:59 AM kernel 0f5f3900AppleMultitouchHIDEventDriver::start entered
    10/7/10 2:33:02 AM kernel BNBMouseDevicewaitForDatad8-30-62-38-b8-ff Timeout waiting for data
    10/7/10 2:33:02 AM kernel BNBMouseDevicegetExtendedReport getReport returned error e00002d6
    it made a connection - then timed out -
    Also check the silly things - like are the batteries dead?
    Last thing I can think of - is to delete the mouse all together, then re-discover it -
    Um - after replacing the batteries of coursse - just to be SURE.
    Then you can turn everything back on in vmware etc - you may also want to make sure that you have the latest version and additions etc installed.
    Good luck!

  • Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse jumps and moves erraticlly on screen

    Hello,
    I am having problems with my Magic Mouse (cursor, pointer) jumping around on my screen when i attempt to use it. I checked preferences and the connection is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so how do we remedy this annoying problem?

    I was about to post this same question and then I found this thread.
    Magic Trackpad was working great, I love using it.
    Then one day after a week or so of use it starts acting erratically.
    I assumed it was the batteries (although still above 70%) and changed them. Yet with fresh batteries reporting 100% it still refuses to take input and does its own erratic thing.
    I've had to switch it off constantly today because even when I switch to using the trackpad on my MBP (Core2duo Nov '06 model) the pointer jumps about on the screen and worse still "clicks", on things which causes mayhem.
    The suggestion of the USB power doesn't seem to affect me as all I have is the Apple aluminium keyboard plugged into my MBP. No other bluetooth devices being used or nearby. It's happened at 3 different locations too I can't blame interference from anything nearby
    Shame as I had thought Apple had finally produced a "mouse" that was worth of their brand and reputation.
