Just recently bought an Apple Magic Mouse and noticed that it wiggles from left to right when I hold it a certain way. It does so ever so slightly so I'm afraid that it might be a defective product. I'm really careful and haven't dropped it at all.

Can anybody else replicate this issue? The top polycarbonate plate with the apple logo on top (not the aluminum part) wiggles from left to right ever so slightly when looking at it I noticed it does this. Not typical of any apple products I've ever owned.

Not quite with you, I'm afraid. Is it the mouse itself which wiggles or is it the cursor on the screen.
I really don't mean offence but the mouse ain't going to wiggle unless you have magical powers ... but the cursor may, if, for example, the batteries are not solidly seated or connected. Some are very sensitive and take getting used to.
If it is the cursor, you could try removing and cleaning all contact points and when you replace the batteries make sure they are tightly seated. Oh, and I forgot to mention; is the green light steady or does it flicker?

Why does my Menu Bar is scrolling from left to right when I call it and not stabilizing?

I have an an XP Windows system and I use Firefox as my default Browser, I suddenly found that my browaer is hit by something that makes the Menu Bar when I try to use it scrolling all menus from left to right so quickly that I can't point to any choice and keep doing this till I end it by mouse, also the information in the Autocomplete are not accessible as they don't show when trying to get them either by mouse or by the down key. I don.t know what to do putting in consideration that I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and this did not solve the problem.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

I joined itunes on my computor at work since then I have a laptop at home ,an ipad and a iphone 4s and i just recently bought a apple tv 2 I have icloud on all the devices I have clicked on all the home sharing on everything . At home we have wifi but I t

I opened my account with itunes on my work computor, sometime later I purchased an ipad , and a iphone 4s and i successfully got them all to sync with icloud
so all my music i have bought and my photos ect goes to all devices , very happy.
Then i purchased an apple tv 2 , i have wifi installed and i have set up the apple tv with all the ID and passwords it asks for but it doesnt find my music collection on itunes. I have switched on the home sharing on all devices at home and at work but to no avail. please could someone tell me what i am doing or not doing I am a beginner at this stuff and would appreciate in laymans terms what i can do
Thankyou

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.
AC

I just recently bought my macbook pro 13 inch with still a 1 year battery warranty. When I don't even use my laptop, it drains my battery 30%. Would apple change my battery for free if i have a 1 year warranty on it?

Do you think i should go to an Apple store to change my battery or go to the store where i bought it?

Your battery would slowly drain during any period of disuse even if it were removed from the computer and nothing were connected to it at all. A fundamental property of every battery is that whenever it isn't being charged, it's draining. If your compputer is shut down entirely, expect the battery to lose 0.5-1% per 24 hours without AC power connected. When it's sleeping, it will lose closer to 1% per hour. In either situation, leaving the AC adapter plugged in will prevent the battery from draining more than 5-7% in total before it starts to charge back up again.

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...

Apple magic mouse

I have just purchased the new Apple magic mouse.My operating system is Tiger version 10.4.1
The booklet with the mouse says you need to have an Apple version of 10.5.8 or later and to install the wireless mouse software update.
Has any one installed this new mouse on a G5 computer with Tiger OS.

Hi Northwich boy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
If that's 10.4.11 you have, then it'll only work like a regular Mouse as I understand it.

Apple Magic Mouse Warranty

Hi there,
I bought a Apple Magic Mouse from a retailer yesterday. I was wondering if the product requires a product registration for warranty?
Thanks!

Hello:
Short answer, no.
Apple does not maintain a database of peripherals.
Keep your receipt. The warranty is one year.

Horizontal RSS feed- is it possible to create an RSS feed (showing both pictures and text), that scrolls from left to right rather than top to bottom?

I am trying to create an RSS feed that will scroll from left to right rather than top to bottom as is standard in iWeb. Ideally, I would like to show both images and text. I am actually using iWeb '09. I am not opposed to writing html code if necessary.
Thank you for your help!

Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML

When you attempt to reinstall, it will ask for the AppleID.

You must be running Windows. AMD is a service that needs to be running in order to sync your phone. You need to start it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567.

Apple Magic Mouse and kernel panics?

I bought the new Apple Magic Mouse a few days ago and since day one I am getting random kernel panics. I've switched back to my old Apple Might Mouse and everything seems to work just fine.
I am using a Macbook Pro 2.4MHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067MHz DDR3.
Apple's Magic Mouse was installed without the 'Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0', cause my MacBook Pro was already running Mac OS X Version 10.6.2 (without any kernel panics).
Here is one of the kernel's panic log file:

Is it really the Apple Magic Mouse fault?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello tom:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Be sure you have all the software updates installed:

If that does not help, I would contact Apple and ask for a replacement.

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?

I have a Macbook pro mid 2011 and just bought the Apple TV. While watching program or movie from any of the apps such as Watch ABC, the program keeps stopping and starting constantly.

That would indicate a network issue.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure DNS is set to auto
Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet

Apple Magic Mouse and Headset

As soonas i run my Apple Magic Mouse together wit my samsung hm3100 my mouse is loosing the connection as soon as i switch of muy head set everything is fine Macbook Pro 17 inch snow 10.6.8
Any idea
Thanx
Frank

Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but I'm having issues with this as well. Using my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse causes pandora to speed up and slow down all the time (really weird sounding) and then intermittant drops. I'm on a 2011 macbook pro with 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7 etc etc. I don't really think I'm doing something that outside of the box, i mean I get that there are limits to how much data can be pushed through bluetooth, but you'd think that would be within reach... Can you prioritize the data such that the sound quality is never affected? I'd rather my mouse be a bit jumpy than the sound be all funky...

Apple Magic Mouse and ID

I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
Thanks for any ideas.
John Mallinson

I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
IMHO big Apple Fail.

Just recently bought an Apple Magic Mouse and noticed that it wiggles from left to right when I hold it a certain way. It does so ever so slightly so I'm afraid that it might be a defective product. I'm really careful and haven't dropped it at all.
