HT3904 magic mouse cursor won't move, scrolling and clicking still works.......

does anyone have a fix for this? I would jsut return the mouse, but I was given the mouse as a gift from my dad, and i don't think he still has the receipt........Any help?
The mouse will click left and right, and will scroll, the green light is also on, but the little optical lights arent......I did a PRAM reset and have also tried
using the mouse to awake the computer from sleep mode with no success (these are both fixes recommended by users on other sites)...
thanks for your time,
Dan

Try resetting your system's PMU. If you have a desktop this can be accomplished by unplugging the computer for at least 15 seconds, then plugging back in and waiting 5 seconds before turning on again. On MacBooks (newer ones anyway) this can be done by holding down control-shift-option and power, then releasing all at the same time.

HT203176 magic mouse cursor will not move

Magic Mouse cursor will not move. Scroll works. right click works replaced batteries

I'm so sorry but I overlooked your response in the previous post.
I think you there are two options to try.     One;
Reset the SMC (Systems management control)      https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201295 ....
Two: You may have a problem with interference which could be from a TV set, particularly one of the new smart TVs, anything electronic you've either moved into the room or changed its position.   That could include another mouse or trackpad.
Again, sorry.

I can't get my mouse to work! Changed the batteries and the monitor says it is connected, but the cursor won't move.

My mouse is supposedly connected, but the cursor won't move. I changed the batteries. What should I do?

Anyone that is trying to help you right now is guessing, you haven't provided any clues such as which mouse you use and which version of OS X you have installed. Without those barest of facts we're giving your WAGs.

Magic mouse that won't scroll

Hi, I have got a new magic mouse but it does not scroll, the scrolling feature does not show in mouse preferences, it only shows tracking speed and double-click speed. In Bluetooth preferences it says the mouse is connected and paired, but in Keyboard & Mouse Bluetooth preferences the keyboard name is there and it shows the battery level, but shows no name or battery level for the mouse. Please can anyone help? Thank you. x

If you're on 10.5.8 as your profile indicates then you need this update for Magic Mouse support.

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched

Magic Trackpad Cursor Jumps or Moves Without the Trackpad Being Touched.
Try turning off your Bluetooth mouse or other nearby devices, especially if you find the cursor on your screen jumps or moves without the trackpad being touched. The cursor may also act strangely when the trackpad is touched.
The closest I found to a solution was in an old support article from March 2009 (TS1449), but it was through pure luck and MacGuyverism that I figured out my wireless Mighty Mouse was still on, nearby and thought it might be interfering with the signal to/from the Magic Trackpad. Sure enough. Turned it off and the problem instantly went away! Turned it on and the problem came back. Not sure if more distance would make a difference, but I saw no need for both on my desk anyway.

I have the same issue, but my mouse is turned off. I put the pad off to the side just to make sure. I just tried removing my mouse from the Bluetooth preferences. I've never had trouble with the mouse jumping before, but I do with the Magic Trackpad.

Mouse randomly moves around and clicks

Ok, so ive had this problem for a few months now and it has led me to the point where my mac was in storage and i havent touched it in a month or two. What happens is no matter what i am doing my mouse will move around the screen clicking randomly and basically doing whatever it wants. i have looked into the problem and other people have similiar issues but not the same. i can be across the room from my mac with the screen on, and the mouse will still move around and click and open countless folders even though no one at all is even near the computer. today when i took the mac out to see if there was a software update available (which there was) the mouse was not moving around or jumping at all througout the entire update. After the update it is now yet again jumpin around and clicking wherever it wants. Also its not just once in a while it is 24/7 it has made my mac unable to be used because you cant really control the mouse for more than a second at a time. my whole screen is now full of untitled folders.... any help would be appreciated...

Hi - I am having exactly the same problem. I am going to do what Barry said. Apple support says to do the following:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but wants to give me option to open, save, etc? Keep trying by clicking again and again, finally it will let me link

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but gives options instead, go back, look up, save, etc? Changed batteries but does not solve the mouse problem. I click all over the page and it continues to provide options and link is indicated in blue, but have to keep trying until it finally let me continue.

Are you sure you are clicking on the left side of the mouse, rather than somewhere in the middle (and probably closer to the right side)?

I found a fix for this, not only firefox but several other networking programs were broken as well (Outlook and IE were ok for some reason) so I reasoned that the Norton uninstall was incomplete somehow - I had done it from the add/remove programs in the control panel. Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

My screen is cracked on my iPhone 5 and it still works perfectly but now, it won't charge. I have two chargers and neither work. Is it my screen that has messed with the charging area?

Probably when you dropped it something inside the phone broke too.

Magic Mouse - Can't Stop Touch Scroll

Using Magic Mouse with Late 2013 MBPR, can't stop "Scroll direction: natural - Content tracks finger movement"
Turning this setting off in System Settings/Mouse/Point & Click has no effect whatsoever. Restart/Shutdown afterward doesn't work. Deleting Bluetooth plist file with Shutdown/Restart doesn't work. Nothing.
Does anyone know how to make this stop? Thank you for any help you can give.

Turn the mouse upside down and roll the scroll ball vigorously for about a minute over an alcohol prep pad or a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol.

HT3904 Magic Mouse: laser not working

Without warning, the laser appears to have stopped working in my Magic Mouse. It connects using Bluetooth, I have full fuctionality with the left and right click features as well as the surface of the mouse, however I am unable to move the cursor on the screen of my MacBook. Could anyone offer a solution, or do I have to buy a replacement? Thank you in anticipation.

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If that does not work, take it to an Apple store (if one is close) and have them test it.

Can't swipe back on websites any more..the page just freezes and i have to close it...this happens with both the trackpad and magic mouse. Also can't scroll down in iCal...any advice please?

While browsing online tonight my Wi-Fi failed and then after restarting I noticed that I can no longer swipe "back" on websites...when I swipe back to go to a previous page the browser just freezes – can’t click anything or navigate to another site – I have to close the browser and reopen it.
This happens in both Safari and Google Chrome with both Trackpad and Magic Mouse.
Also noticed that I can no longer scroll down in iCal… All the other gestures seem to be responding normally.
Anyone have advice as to how I can fix this?

Restart your computer and try again.
Double check your AppleMenu()>System Preferences>Trackpad
for all custom settings here.

Magic Mouse 1 finger swipe moves app to new desktop

My mid-2009 is running the latest ML bits and it has developed an extremely irritating behavior.
When using my Magic Mouse a 1 finger swipe across the top part of a window moves it to the next desktop. I have my settings in system prefs set to use a 3 finger swipe to change desktops. I also have turned off "Swipe between pages" in the Magic Mouse settings. Sometimes I'll move my finger on the mouse a litlle and suddenly find myself (and the window I was over) on the next desktop.
I also get this behavior on my MBP pad if I swipe 2 fingers across the top of a window. That's also a little irritating, but less disruptive to my work.
I would love to know how to disable this behavior.

I guess you have installed all available updates, including this one?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3936
As a test, you can create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try the mouse there. This will help narrow down the cause. If it works in the new account, the cause is probably in your normal user account. If the same problem recurs, then the cause is probably at the system level.

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.
