Lion OSX - Magic Mouse & Launchpad

Hey Guys,
So I seen a video on youtube about Apple introducing the Lion OSX but in the video it shows that you can use your magic mouse to launch launchpad and you can do all types of different gestures. I noticed after I installed lion that none of these gestures is available or work. My trackpad is able to launch launchpad but not my magic mouse. Am I'm missing something?

Well, non of the gestures? After I installed Lion a could use the gesture to enter Mission Control. The zoom gesture is working fine with my Magic Mouse. I am also able to sweep between desktops (swipe with two fingers).
I'm not able to enter Launchpad and i can't pinchzoom with my Magic Mouse. I guess I'll need a trackpad for that.
Succes!

Can I use Lion without magic mouse or pad

I am interested in updating to Lion on a mac mini at work but it doesn't have a magic mouse or pad. Will I be able to use the sliding features with a regular mouse?

Sorry, but no.
For the Multi-Touch Gestures you have to have/use a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or a Mac Notebook with Multi-Touch Trackpad.

Nonetheless, a standard mouse can be used with OSX Lion but without Gestures then.

Problem with Mac OSX Magic Mouse in Library

Dear Freinds,
me and some colleques, we got a problem with Apples Magic Mouse and Lightrooms Library: If the mouse is on the big picture of LRs Library, and you are swiping or wiping on the mouse only a very little, a lot of pictures are scrolling very fast, much to fast to handle.
This happens often without any purpose and that´s very annoying, because you have to search the picture again, that you worked with.
I think this is a bug of Lightroom, but I didn´t found a solution anywere.
Is there any?
Thanks
Marco

This behavior was also in Lr4 and maybe Lr3. The swiping with the magic mouse is oversensitive in a few other programs also. It is pretty annoying but I have finally got used to being careful with the swipe in Library on the big photo. I would think Adobe could adjust the speed for this but Apple should allow the user more options in the mouse settings panel. Apple seems to be going in the negative direction of letting the user customize the interface as they keep taking more setting features out. In their typical arrogance, it seems that they think Apple knows best and the users can just deal with it.

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?

Magic Mouse Giving false Reading in Lion

Hi
I have noticed that in Lion my Magic Mouse has been giving false battery readings. Its saying it has 99% while only really having 54% before the update to Lion.
It dropped to 94% before a restart and went back to 99%. I have an app on my dashboard which stats the battery at 54%. Which is what I expect.
I'm confused as to why Lion is saying I have 40% more power than I acctually do.
Any help would be good.
thanks
Also on a side not, on Lauchpad how do I get rid of apps that I didn't download via Appstore? My Launchpad is full of uninstallers and they have completely cluttered it. Not worth using in its current stat. I really don't need Lauchpad to help me find uninstallers.

Try this:
Open Safari.
Go to a website with links
Click on a link
2 finger swipe left (this replicates the 3 finger swipe to go back a page)
This is a solution to still be able to navigate backward and forward in Safari but having to use 2 fingers and not 3. The more links you click on, the more history you can swipe through. If you open a new tab you are effectively opening a new window with no previous history. Click on a link and then the process starts again through that tab.
Forgive me if this is not the answer you are looking for. We will get there!

Magic mouse no longer works after Lion upgrade

After upgrading to Lion my magic mouse failed to work. I plugged in an older USB mouse and thankfully it does work. It appears the System Preference for Blue Tooth no longer has my machine name in it, instead it has "Name not available" and the "On" check box will not stay checked when I reopen the preference. The syncing process "Set Up New Device..." doesn't seem to work either, it searches but doesn't find eventually the flashing LED on the mouse goes out.
I've tried to solve this but failed. I believe its something wrong with the installation of Lion on my iMac because I installed Lion on my lap top and the magic mouse WILL sync with it.
What do you suggest I do to remedy this situation?

Solved it myself. Re installed Lion.
Thanks Radio for your help

Magic mouse loses connection with iMac

My brand new imac came with magic mouse. I immediately updated to mountain lion. Magic mouse occasionally drops connection and then reconnects after some time. During the time of disconnection I am unable to do any thing. Please tell me what to do.

Sound like my issue with the magic mouse. I notice the indicater green light was off when i lost lost my connection. Once I reinstalled the batteries the light would glow and my connection was temportarly restored. After losing my connection again; I reseated the batteries but I added a small cushion of folded paper. I made sure my cushion wasn't too thick so to allow for the battery cover. After my small mofication my mouse has not lost connection for over several weeks.

Magic mouse loses connection with laptop unless laptop connected to charger

So, I've been seeing people have various problems with the Magic Mouse in Lion, but I haven't seen anyone with the exact problem as me. I lodged it as a bug with Apple, but I wondered if anyone has the same problem and maybe a solution.
I have an original MacBookAir and a Magic Mouse. Since upgrading to Lion, the Magic Mouse will only stay steadily connected to the laptop if I have the laptop plugged in and on the mains charger. If I am running the laptop on battery, the mouse disconnects and becomes unusable.

thv2011,
There are some known problems which other devices on the 2.4Ghz can affect. Here's the apple support article on the subject:

Magic Mouse won't reconnect after Lion upgrade

Okay, I'll lay this out as quickly and consisely as possible.
I've searched every post and site I can find and tried everything suggested, and still no luck.
I have Mac Pro with an external bluetooth dongle, Magic Mouse, and I have just upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion.
My Magic Mouse has always reconnected flawlessly to my machine after booting or waking, but after upgrading to Lion, it refuses to re-pair after booting or waking. In bluetooth preferences, I can see in the Devices pane that "Steven's Mouse" is disconnected, but every couple of seconds this will flash green and show "Connected" - but only for a half second - and then it's back to "Not Connected".
I've set BT setup assistant to open on startup, and only when I have manually deleted and re-paired my Magic Mouse using the keyboard does the Magic Mouse connect.
Then sleep and wake and I'm back to square one.
I have:
Restarted after trashing every bluetooth .plist file (~/Library/Preferences and also HD/Library/Preferences) - and bluetooth drivers
Sone several SMC Resets
Zapped my PRAM
Made my mouse a 'Favorite'
Deleted and re-paired it more times than I can count
Turned the mouse on and off
Clicked it
Double-clicked it
Kept clicking it
Turned it on and off
Triple-checked the batteries
Tested my mouse with another machine running SL
Tested another mouse with my machine
- All with no luck whatsoever. I'm about down to writing a suicide note or something!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Steven
(BTW I'm 100% sure the issue is within the Lion system somewhere - not my hardware.

Hi, I had the same problem but it's fixed now. It seems that the order you turn mouse and bluetooth off and on makes the difference. This is what worked on my macbook pro (eventually!):
turn off bluetooth and mouse. Turn on bluetooth. Open system preferences. Open mouse. It starts searching. then Turn on mouse. Hey presto! (and much to my surprise) it found it.
It also worked if I left the mouse on, and turned it off and on after opening the mouse in system preferences and it had started searching. But if, for example, I turned on the mouse before opening system preferences,it was no go.
There is another issue: I (like I suspect a lot of people) switch between lion and snow leopard (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini respectively), and every time it has to be paired manually. I have found I have to use the entire process shown above with both OSs.
Also, the mouse has to be paired to Lion at every startup. I never have to re-pair the mouse with Snow leopard on startup (unless it's been paired to Lion in the meantime!).
I hope that some of this might help someone, even just a little.

Magic mouse right click problem in Mountain Lion

Hi!
My Magic mouse right-click doesn't work in Mountain Lion! in previous OSes it was working properly (Leopard and Lion), but when I upgrated to Mountain, this problem occured.
if you click anywhere on the magic mouse, it simply do a click, not a right-click anyway...
I did a lot of searches and changes but the problem is still alive...
somewhere suggested disabling "Secondary Click", then restart, and then enabling it. but nothing changed...
somewhere suggested to remove two files named "com.apple.Bluetooth..." in /Library/Preferences, and then restart the system, but this not worked for me, too...
I changed the "Secondary Click" to "Click on the left side" but nothing changed and the magic mouse did just clicking and not right-clicking!
I wondered what can I really do to solve this problem?!
any suggestion is appreciated...

I still use the magic-mouse and still it's not stable. I've found theONLY way to overcome the rightclick is to make sure that you're NOT pressing anywhere else on the mouse (even touching) and only pressing at theTOP right-hand most corner.
It's not the best resolution, but the best that Applecare could provide me with. I thinjk, because it's relatively new due to the new generation of capacitive touch devices that we all get the bugs/flaws.
As like the iPhone, although an EXCELLENT device, and the various versions of OSX, we're going to be plagued eith bugs until a newer review comes out.
The way I found out was to use BOTH tools (MagicPrefs and BetterTouchTool) together, and in both set the Rightclick sensitive area to a near nothing for system wide (non app specific).
It does fail at times on some apps, and takes a few clicks, but 90% of the time it's cleared up.
I somehow think that most developers (and yes its the developers not apple) that forget that we rest out palms on the mouse) and they don't filter out the events forrectly (i.e. a palm on the mouse is seen as a tap). Othere works well, for exmaple I use photoshop, which adapted well to the mouse. The majority of games, and including those (ESPECUALLY THOSE) flash mbased, don't like the mouse at all!

Magic mouse and Lion

I have upgraded my desktop to OSX 10.7.3 Lion and have just bought a magic mouse. It is very unstable and the cursor is all over the place and unuseable. Anyone any ideas ? Giff

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If that does not help, take the mouse back for a warranty replacement.
