MacOSX forgetting Magic Mouse settings after restart

Hello together,
since today my MacOS X (MacBook Pro, 10.6.6, early 2011) seems to forget my Magic Mouse movement settings every time I restart OSX and after waking up from sleep mode. The settings are always put to minimum automatically.
Every time I have to fix it in the System settings.
I have already repaired the HDD access rights and set the Magic Mouse to Favorite. Without effect to the problem.
Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks and Regards
Manuel

Manuel,
Try going into System Prefs->Accounts. Unlock it. Look in "Login Items" and delete MagicPrefs application. Restart your computer. It worked for me...

Why are my magic mouse settings reseted sporadically after a newstart

Hallo,
sporadically after a newstart of my mac mini with mountainlion the mouse settings from my magic mouse are reseted.
So that I have to configure the cursorspeed and horizontal scroll direction again.
Is there anybody who has got an idea about that?
Thx.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try deleting the mouse settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart.
Finally, change the mouse settings on System Preferences > Mouse, and check if they are saved

Lion forgets mouse settings after using boot camp on my 24" iMac. How do I retain the mouse speed setting?

Lion always forgets my mouse speed setting after using Boot Camp. How do I retain this info in Lion?

After I posted my question this thread showed up in the side bar. Too bad it didn't show up when I searched the forums prior to posting.

Has anyone figured out a way to scroll & swipe with magic mouse again after upgrading to Maverick? Thanks!

I finally upgraded to Maverick and now my magic mouse doesn't scroll or swipe on any application and to make things worse, my keyboard scrolling ability after pressing down on the arrows is a bit delayed. Does anyone know how to solve this? My magic mouse and keyboard are a month old, so, I know it's not the devices, but something with the update.
Things I've done from reading other forums:
1. Went to System Preferences/Mouse Settings [but it only gives me two settings: Tracking & Double-Click Speed]
2. I've reset my PRAM a few timesnow.
3. Tried restarting my computer a few times too, but nothing.
4. I've tried searching for these files in my Library to DELETE, but they don't exist, so that method is not an option:
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.list
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
Also, my bluetooth capabilites are no longer available because of this update. :^/
Thanks in advance!

or my actual question is -- is there anything inherantly wrong with this approach.. i mean, if i can get it to make it through consistently, is there a problem with it repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row? is it a drain on system resources or can it break anything etc.?
Although I'm far from being an expert in programming, I would answer NO. Imho, you've just got a brillant idea! (As for “repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row”… you could add a short delay (like “delay 1”) inside the repeat block, but I don't think it's a must.)

Magic Mouse Jumps After Update to 10.6.8 - Help!

Ok so I have updated my 2010 iMac to v10.6.8 and now my Magic Mouse randomly spazzes across the screen or is very slow to move. I have installed the supplemental update in the hopes of fixing the problem, also reset the PRAM and SMC, all to no avail. I've seen quite a few threads about this issue for Lion users, but have yet to come across one specifically for Snow Leopard users.
If there is one and I'm just being blind, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
If there isn't and there's something else someone with better knowledge of this kind of thing than I have can suggest, by all means let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Here comes the/my solution:
Remove Sophos Antivirus
Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
- Dock
- Language has been reset to English only
- Expose & Spaces
(- probably all personal settings?)

Magic mouse sluggish after rebooting mac

Hi,
I have a strange problem with my magic mouse.
I have an early 2013 Macbook pro retina. After I upgraded to Yosemite, for a while I had a lot of problems with the magic mouse, sluggish response, disconnecting all the time and so on.
I reset the SMC and that solved the problem, occasionally it would come back but resetting the SMC always solved it.
But a few times, I have problems after rebooting the mac. The mouse is working perfectly but when the computer reboots starts behaving badly.
Yesterday I had that problem, I rebooted my mac and after all the mouse was terrible. I tried resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I remove the device and it had problems finding it, it eventually did but still it wasn't working well.
After a while, I shut down the system, reset the SMC once again, waited for about a minute, turned it back on and as the mouse was still a bit erratic, then I rebooted, and from then on it worked well.
I read an Apple support article that recommends doing that, shutting down, wait, power on and restart.
What puzzles me is why would this happen when I reboot the mac. It's like bluetooth needs sometime to start working properly again.
does anybody know anything about this?

HI,

Magic Mouse Disconnecting After every computer close

Every time I close my laptop screen, even without restarting or shutting down the computer, the Magic Mouse is no longer working when I open up the laptop screen again. It wasn't doing this until I replaced the batteries when the batteries that were packaged with ran out of battery life. I have to turn the little button on and off and then go to Mouse and have it reconnect each time. I even changed it to a favorite, and that didn't help. What is going on?

My problem was quite different, but perhaps this will help you under different conditions and its worth a try, nonetheless.
I found that cleaning the battery contacts of both the magic mouse and the batteries themselves has eliminated my disconnect problems. I used a pencil eraser and rubbed the contacts with the eraser, then blew the crumbs out with canned air. Before doing this, I rubbed the pencil eraser on paper to get fresh, clean rubber.

Magic Mouse issues after updating to iTunes 11

Hi,
Just updated to iTunes 11, and immediately after installing I have been losing Bluetooth connection to my Magic Mouse. This usually happens when I click on an icon in my dock to launch an App. Specifically, most often when I am launching iTunes. I've ruled out a battery issue, as I've replaced them and it doesn't make a difference. I've even cleared my PRAM at startup (CMD+OPT+P+R at startup), since I saw this suggested for similar Magic Mouse issues not related to iTunes. Resetting the ram made no difference in my case.
I've had the Magic Mouse for 2+ years, and this has never been an issue before. In fact, I've never had any connection issues with the mouse that weren't related to weak batteries, and everything was working great until I installed iTunes 11. Just wondering if others have had this issue since upgrading to iTunes 11, and if so, how it was corrected?
Thanks.

Hi, I've not had this issue, but iTunes 11 does seem to be doing something to my Magic Mouse. For example within iTunes 11 I can no longer swipe forwards and backwards. Not sure if there is some kind of hitch with the new iTunes software and the Magic Mouse firmware?

Lose airport settings after restart

After restarting powerbook, airport settings are changed and can no longer use bonjour printer or see airport express. As instructed by Apple, if I throw out system configuration folder and restart computer, it works fine again until it is shut down, then same problem. There must be a better answer!

I'd love an answer to this, I've had this problem for a while now

Magic Mouse Troubles After Software Update

I am having trouble with my magic mouse after a software update. I am using Lion (I think) 10.7.5. My trouble is that when I shut down my Mac, my magic mouse doesn't work until after I log in. I can't click on the user with the magic mouse; it simply doesn't work until after I log in. So I have to plug in my corded mouse and click on the user, type in my password, and then the magic mouse works again. This has only become a problem since I cannot type in a username and the users are now buttons/icons on the screen. Are there any fixes to this, or just have to deal with it? Okay, I did just notice I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to go between users. Still, this is not an automatic thought that comes in my head when I see buttons/icons to click on. I want to automatically use the mouse. So if there are any other fixes beyond keyboard arrows, I would appreciate input. Thank you!!!

For those a little less into do it yourself I just found Mouse Wizard:
http://www.samuco.net/web/node/23
I will say that when I downloaded the demo the center button didn't work, but a very quick & courteous reply from their tech support suggested:
In terminal, can you try entering this command: "rm ~/Library/Preferences/.MagicalWizard.plist". Then, relaunch MouseWizard.
I did this & now I have center button nirvana! (Mouse Wizard also supports a version of the squeeze button (they call it fourth button) and squeeze/bloat gestures.)
So far so good--it's made me much happier with my magic mouse.

Loss of Magic Mouse function after downloading Mountain Lion

I have lost the "two-finger swipe" back to previous screen function of my Magic Mouse after downloading Mountain Lion. The vertical scroll function still works, only in the opposite direction. Weird! Any ideas?

You must have upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scroll direction has changed to "natural" where you push content in the direction you want it to go, as thought you had you finger on the screen. You can change it back the other direction In System Preferences > Mouse > uncheck Scroll direction: natural.
The swipe back a page is now a one finger swipe. You can change that as well in System Preferences > Mouse > More gestures tab. Click the disclouse triangle for the choices.

Magic mouse disconnect after a minute

Please provide me the solution
Thanks

Magic Mouse Unresponsive After Wake Up

This has happened to me the last few days and I'm starting to get worried. When I wake my Mac up from sleep mode, I have to do it with the keyboard becuase the magic mouse is asleep and doesn't wake up until about 30 seconds later. Once it's on it's fine but I notice that the green light underneath is off when I first wake up my Mac and while that in itself is normal it usually wakes up much quicker than it has last few days. The batteries are at 100% and it's late 2009 iMac with Mountain Lion loaded on it.
I should note that if I force it into sleep mode and quickly wake it up, it behaves normally. This unresponsive mouse issue usually happens when I wake it up from a long sleep (getting home from work or waking up in the morning).

Magic Mouse lost after log out on Yosemite

If I set my Mac Mini (Yosemite 10.10.2) to logout after it goes to sleep for a while, when I wake it up, I cannot use my Magic Mouse to click on the user in order to log in. Instead I have to plug in my usb mouse. Once I log in, the mouse makes up and goes to work. Any suggestions--other than simply disabling the password protection? That's okay at home, but not in my office.

You are welcome. Those resets frequently fix odd problems.

Connection to Magic Mouse lost on Restart

Every time I do a Restart on my G5 iMac I lose the Bluetooth connection to the Magic Mouse. Sometimes it reconnects quickly, but other times it doesn't. I've had to power the iMac completely off a few times to get it to reconnect. Once it's reconnected I never have any problems until the next Restart. Any ideas?

I would add the Magic Mouse to bluetooth favorites. I use Snow Leopard but I think the process is the same for Leopard.
Go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Highlight the Mouse on the left > click the gear icon below the list > check "show more information" if not already checked. > return to the gear icon and select "add to favorites".
That should help with a speedy reconnect.
