Has Magic Mouse as many gestures as the Trackpad?

I have just read a comment from a well-known contributor to the Apple Support Community Forums stating that a Magic Mouse provides all the gestures of a trackpad.
Is this correct and if so, could someone please give me a list of these gestures (or point me to where I can find out)?

Hello Ian:
This is pretty generic. It implies similarity, but does not state that.

I have the information when my mouse is attached (in system preferences), but I rarely use it since I bought my MacBook Pro.
My "memory" indicates the gestures are the same, but that is not definitive.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

My magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page

Hi, my magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page and random apps keep appearing on my screen when I'm in facebook and it keeps sliding onto my dashboard screen.

Thanks so much for replying Barry. Did what you said but took me 6 attempts to be able to reply to you so unfortunately did not work. Have to wait over a week to get into Apple store so I guess I've just got to wait. This is my second magic mouse and its driving me crazy. Touch pad also playing up but thanks for the advice and have a good day.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Lion's page-turning gestures on the magic mouse don't work in the App Store

Hi.
Does anyone know why Lion's swipe gestures for moving forwards and backwards through pages don't work in the App Store? I have the Lion OS and use a magic mouse in conjunction with MagicPrefs, stored in the System Preferences, and the gestures work with every app except the App Store.
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Magic Mouse, so I don't know how the gestures are different from those on a trackpad. However, on a trackpad, you can use a two-finger left or right swipe to scroll horizontally, which - in Safari only - will also go forward or backward between pages. There is also a three-finger swipe that more properly goes forward or backward in any app that supports that, including the App Store, iTunes, etc. You'll want to use that gesture instead.

What's missing? Magic mouse user definable gestures?

So with the magic mouse why can't they simply allow the user to record the gesture and map that to the action?

Well I downloaded the leopard wireless mouse software update --- again. this time the preferences for the keyboard and mouse are separate. opened the mouse pref. and clicked to set up blue tooth mouse. BUT the next window states "no mouse" found! clicked continue searching, Then "found apple wireless mouse" then continue, "no mouse found" and "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful" . clicked continue and the circle starts again. put in new batteries and switched mouse on/off etc.
The blue tooth pref panel shows the mouse is connected and paired. But now it's worse because before I could control the cursor and left/right click, now it does nothing. The computer only works with the wired mouse. What Crap!! not at all "Mac Like"

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.

I left my Magic Mouse on overnight and now the scrolling and swiping does not work. Help Me!

Hey guys,
About a month agop I got a Magic Mouse as a Birthday present and have been using it semi regularly on my Macbook. However, last night I accidentally left the mouse on while the computer was off overnight. Initially the mouse was completely not working, so I managed to reboot it by deleting certain things in the extensions folder (AppleBluetoothMutlitouch.kext and AppleMultitouchDriver.Kext) and while the mouse works fine now, the scrolling and swiping functions no longer work. I've tried downloading the update on the mac site, but everytime the message "a newer version of this software already exists" pops up!
I'm completely stumped (and I do not have USB Overdrive on my Mac)

It's obvious that you need a screen repair.
This tells you prices: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
If you bring your ipod into an apple store, they can also ship it out for repairs. Also you should back up your ipod onto your computer before you bring it anywhere, so your memory doesnt get wiped out. If you have itunes IOS 6.1.3, plug the device into the computer, bring up itunes, in the top right hand corner click the button that says ipod, then click summary. Near the center of the page should be a button that says back up now. Click that and it will save all of your ipod's ino to your computer so you can re-download it when its fixed. Hopes this helps!

Magic Mouse is not listed in the Product Register.

I cannot find Magic Mouse or any other wireless mouse/keyboard in the product registration listings. Do I register it in the "Other" section?

Hello:
You cannot register it... Apple does not maintain a database of peripheral devices.

How Do You Rename the Magic Mouse's Actual Name (Not the Display Name)

Hi. The Magic Mouse's display name is Servant777 but it's actual name is really something like mouse no. 1 which I take was from the store that first paired the mouse to test it ( I usually have it tested first after buying things, not all the time but sometimes, can't remember, it was 3 years ago).
How do you kind of "reset" the Magic Mouse like it's the first time it's being used and paired. I've tried: disconnecting and removing it from the bluetooth preference as well the on in the Mouse settings. It'd be nice if there's some kind of reset but it doesn't change the actual name, only the disply name could be changed. Is there any Terminal command for this?
Thank you in advance. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great weekend.
God bless,
Alvin

Magic Mouse - Should It Click At The Back?

I have a brand new Magic Mouse and I believe it's broken.
Should the top shell move up and down at the back of the mouse, beyond the Apple logo? And should the top shell rock from side to side?
I'm pretty certain the top shell of the Magic Mouse is only supposed to physically move up and down at the front, to provide the mechanical click.
I'd really appreciate it if any of you could check yours for me.

I called apple and they didnt have a magic mouse at hand to do a full sound diagnostics as my mouse had different sound on each side.
I took it into an apple store, did not book a genius, and told the person at the back that it was broken and the button was not smooth. The person played with the button a bit and went to the back and got me a new one.
This new one i can confirm to you that the shell does not move around, there is only little movement at the back, and both sides click the same way; nice and smoothly.
There is a difference.
So if you've got a mouse similar to what I described in my previous post, you should take it in because there is something wrong with your $69 investment.

Magic Mouse battery draining faster by the mins, and it's Lithium Battery

I recently installed a lithium battery on my Magic Mouse, since I heard from others that Lithium battery lasts lot longer.... (about six months, I heard...)
This was almost three weeks ago....
Fast forward, and now my batter is draining at 20%, and this started to happen within last 24 hours....
I have no other bluetooth peripherals attached...
Help! I feel like I just wasted $7 on more expensive battery that last the same as Alkaline.....

Same problem here. Batteries last about 10 days. Checked each with a digital multimeter. One battery was drained, the other was perfect.
I replaced the dead battery and marked the other one I left in. One week later, the new battery was dead. The marked battery was fine. The mouse is defective, it is only using the power on one side. Time for a return to the Apple Store. I hope it will be a quick swap.

Labeling gestures on the trackpad with keys on the keyboard?

Hello everyone,
I'm a blind user of a macbook air.
I use the voiceover function in os X. What I like about this screenreader is the possibility to use the trackpad.
They made special gestures for blind users.
But now I installed a windows 7 on it with bootcamp.
Under windows it is not possible for me to use the trackpad.
It can be easely be solved by labeling gestures with keys on the keyboard:
left swipe = arrow left
right swipe = arrow right
swipe up = arrow up
swipe down = arrow down
dubble tab with one finger = enter
dubbel tab with two fingers = alt (menubar)
Is there a program that makes it possible to do this labeling?
I found trackpad++ but the maker of that apllication told me it's not possible at the moment.
Is it possible with another program and how?
Thanks
Regards

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
