HT1338 My new magic mouse will not one finger scroll left and right

I am up to date with software but after connecting my new magic mouse it will not one finger scroll left and right. It does scroll up and down. Any ideas on what may be wrong??

I don't have a Magic Mouse, but there is probably a setting that enables and disables horizontal scrolling.  Look on System Preferences Mouse pane.

  • Magic Mouse stops sliding vertically, only slides left and right...

    Hello,
    I just bought a brand new MBP and decided to get the Magic Mouse to go with it. For the first week it worked really well. Now, besides the other issues everyone is discussing, I've noticed that periodically throughout the day, the mouse will not let me slide up or down. I can only slide left or right. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?
    Second, if the mouse (and computer) goes to sleep (after 5 minutes or so...) when I try to use it again, it seems to be dead. I have to go into control panel and reconnect the mouse to regain use. The green light on the bottom doesn't appear at all when this happens. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
    Any thoughts welcome...
    Thanks.

    Hi Civilian12 & welcome to the forums...
    Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
    Failing that, take it to an Apple Store and ask staff there for assistance.

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

    mouse works... is recognized but the preference pane
    has not swipe selection and i cannot turn off bluetooth

    To resolve this issue try the following:
    from the upper left corner of your screen click:
    1.  / system preferences / bluetooth
    2. Locate your mouse under the devices panel
    3. Remove your mouse
    Click on it so it is highlighted in blue
    Click in the blue "x" or you can click delete after you have selected your mouse.
    4. Reconnect your mouse (re "pair" ) your mouse
    This should resolve the scrolling issue if it occurred after the 10.10.1 update.

  • Magic Mouse will not pair (OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

    All of a sudden my Magic Mouse will not pair. Very annoying!
    I have changed the batteries, several times, so the light is on on the Magic Mouse.
    I have opened System Preference/Bluetooth. I can see that it is searching for devices but it is not connecting to the Magic Mouse.
    I currently have a Apple Wireless Keyboard and have paired an Ultrathin Touch Mouse in the interim, but I want my Magic Mouse back.
    Can someone please help (in a language that I can understand) with this issue.
    Thank you so much.
    Cheers

  • HT1338 updated OS to Maverick, now magic mouse will not scroll. what happened?

    I updated my OS to Mavericks latest, and now the magic mouse does not scroll...what happened? works through bluetooth, so I can move the cursor, but it will not scroll.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks

    Hi davidgraham193,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Magic Mouse is not scrolling, first go to the Mouse section of System Preferences and try toggling the "Scroll direction: natural" checkbox to see if it has an effect.
    Scroll direction: natural:
    Select this option to move the contents of a window the same direction as your fingers.

  • Magic Mouse will not scroll

    Lion 10.7.5 on MacBook 13 inch. The mouse has started doing weird things. The cursor moves around the screen fine but I can not scroll. I think this happened with the last Lion upgrade. Strangely after sleeping all night, it started scrolling for a few seconds then stopped. I can move up and down if I click and hold on the little bar on the right of the screen. The trackpad does the same thing so it isn't the mouse. Do I need to restore the OS? If so how do I do that? I do have a flashdrive with Instillation software on it that I made when I put Lion on. The mouse has fresh batteries in it. If either thinks they are copying something they will move the screen. I totally confused.

    Apply the Magic Mouse updates to gain the scrolling functions under Leopard.

  • When dragging and dropping files in Lion Apple Magic Mouse will not "let go" of file even after button is released

    When selecting file or drive icon or text, the mouse will not release the item.  Pressing esc will release item but only back to original location.

    I presume drag lock isn't checked in System Preferences, but it sounds like maybe it's been set elsewhere, like by a corrupt prefs file? Can some OS X guru provide a Terminal command to disable drag lock just to be sure?
    I have a problem, also on a new MBP 2010 i7 /10.6.4, that isn't the same but might be related. The time required for the system to "release" an item selected by the pointer is exceptionally long. And if I try to click elsewhere before the pointer has been released, it only serves to extend the time. It's annoying and reduces productivity.
    Speed settings in Sys Prefs has no effect, and no other hardware is attached, using just the trackpad.
    I hope there's a setting that can be changed via Terminal; can anyone suggest the right terminology for the parameter(s) that need to change?

  • The three finger swipe left and right does not seem to work

    Hi
    I have been trying to do the left and right three finger swipe that allows you to move between applications to no avail.  It just keeps switching between dashboard and one app even if I have 5 apps open at the same time. Snow Leopard has this feature where all the apps opened are shown when you do the swipe and you can choose the one you want.  I think this is better but it doesn't work.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Antonio

    Such spaces actually use very little extra memory relative to the apps you have open to occupy those spaces. I would go out on a limb and say it doesn't matter whether you have one space for every application or all on the same desktop.
    The limitation will come from the applications and the data you are crunching on them.
    (But that's just a personal view, haven't run into any limits on my ow 4GB Macbook Pro so far)
