deleted the file in /library/preferences reboot my imac en installed the mouse again and it didn't worked. I also went to an apple shop today and they told me the same (delete bluetooth.plist, reboot and install the mouse again)
They also told me that when this solution not works I will become a new mouse, so tomorrow I will go to the appleshop again to receive my new magicmouse!
Tanks barry.

  • Magic Mouse can't click

    Recently my iMac (Intel, with Lion) won't react to mouse clicks. I can move the cursor but there is no reaction when I click. I have a Magic Mouse but I get the same result with a Logitech wireless mouse. Could it be related to my new metal and glass computer desk? I have a password on starting the iMac so I can't even get in past that.

    Probably not the new desk. Try a
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    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.

    Buy a new one.  They are not repairable (to my knowledge).

  • New Magic Mouse - how to turn off horiz scroll ?

    love this new Magic Mouse esp with FCP where horiz scroll from edit to edit is ultra cool.
    However, most of the time I will want to turn horizontal scrolling off. This is easy to do with other Apple mice and even other manuf brands.
    So - how to do this with the whiz bang boom Magic Mouse ???
    turning off the checkbox "Two Fingers - Swipe Left/Right to Navigate" doesnt fix this.
    Am I missing something ?

    looks like this was answered already (I havent yet tried it but this looks pretty solid)
    To turn horizontal scrolling off:
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
    To turn horizontal scrolling on:
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool YES
    if this helps anybody.....

  • My mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work

    I am using a 24 inch imac and the problem is suddenly my mouse can not click to anything left, right or the middle mouse button does not work i can see cursor moving and i can use the features of the keyboard but my mouse dies. I tried to plug in another mouse magic trackpad and my tablet but each has the same problem. I can not click to anything but cursor is moving and computer is not frozen. I have to shut it off from the power button when this happens. Do you have any idea what can cause this and how can i fix this?

    Reset the SMC 2-3 times. Click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for instructions.

  • Spilled coffee on my magic mouse. Now it won't scroll at all. Do I need to buy a new one?

    Spilled coffee on my magic mouse. Now it won't scroll at all. Do I need to buy a new one?

    If your coffee had cream and/or sugar in it, after removing the batteries it would not hurt to slosh it a bit in warm (not hot) sterile water to rinse out the residues of the cream and/or sugar. Then let it dry thoroughly - might take a couple of days, even with a fan blowing on it. Do not use supplemental heat, such as a hair dryer or even direct sunlight, to speed up the drying - things with plastic parts can be damaged by excessive heat.
    You can get sterile water at most grocery stores - the stuff for steam irons is perfect. Sterile water does not contain the usual lime and/or calcium that can deposit out when the water evaporates.

    This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
    If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
    If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
    Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.

  • 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.

  • Magic Mouse , can't scroll

  • Can the Magic Mouse work without clicking?

    I thought it would have the same options as the Magic Trackpad on my Macbook Pro, but see no way to open/close programs, etc. without clicking. I have an injury that makes the clicking action painful, so have been grateful for the tapping option on the trackpad, and bought the Magic Mouse thinking it would have the same features. I get the swiping between pages, scrolling etc. Anyone know if I'm missing something on this? The demos on the settings didn't give the option, so I'm thinking the Magic Mouse isn't as talented as the Magic Trackpad.

    If you want to, 'er, "teach" it more tricks you will need a third party utility like MagicPrefs.
    Other mouse utilities:
    BetterTouchTool
    SteerMouse
    MagicDriver
    I don't know if any of these guys will do exactly what you want but it may be worth looking at them.

  • I left my Magic Mouse on overnight and now the scrolling and swiping does not work. Help Me!

    Hey guys,
    About a month agop I got a Magic Mouse as a Birthday present and have been using it semi regularly on my Macbook. However, last night I accidentally left the mouse on while the computer was off overnight. Initially the mouse was completely not working, so I managed to reboot it by deleting certain things in the extensions folder (AppleBluetoothMutlitouch.kext and AppleMultitouchDriver.Kext) and while the mouse works fine now, the scrolling and swiping functions no longer work. I've tried downloading the update on the mac site, but everytime the message "a newer version of this software already exists" pops up!
    I'm completely stumped (and I do not have USB Overdrive on my Mac)

    It's obvious that you need a screen repair.
    This tells you prices:  http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    If you bring your ipod into an apple store, they can also ship it out for repairs. Also you should back up your ipod onto your computer before you bring it anywhere, so your memory doesnt get wiped out. If you have itunes IOS 6.1.3, plug the device into the computer, bring up itunes, in the top right hand corner click the button that says ipod, then click summary. Near the center of the page should be a button that says back up now. Click that and it will save all of your ipod's ino to your computer so you can re-download it when its fixed. Hopes this helps!

  • Magic Mouse and Track Pad won't scroll after after waking

    I installed Lion and a TrackPad on my 27" iMac at the same time. When I wake my Mac up after sleeping for a period of time, the scrolling does not work on either the TrackPad or the Magic Mouse. The pointer works fine on both, however. I have to restart in order for things to work again as they should.
    Apple Care has so far been unable to help. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm ready to return the track pad and/or uninstall Lion. This is turning into a Windows experience. Not typical for Apple.

    Agreed. My bluetooth keyboard works fine with iMac and Lion. Not so for my magic mouse. It will work for a while and then clicking and scrolling become unresponsive. Sometimes a complete shutdown and start up will solve the problem for a little while (not always), but then mouse becomes unresponsive again.
    Speaking of unresponsive, that is Apple on this subject. Many, many complaints, but no action.
    I'm using a 2010 iMac, all updates are installed. Batteries are charged. Reset PRAM. Checked settings in System Preferences. Did everything others have suggested. No help.
    The magic mouse was fine with Leopard. It was even fine with Lion, until the Lion update and then the problems began.
    I'm back to using my USB mouse. I'll see if Apple Store will accept return of magic mouse. Doubt it.

  • Magic Mouse - Should It Click At The Back?

    I have a brand new Magic Mouse and I believe it's broken.
    Should the top shell move up and down at the back of the mouse, beyond the Apple logo? And should the top shell rock from side to side?
    I'm pretty certain the top shell of the Magic Mouse is only supposed to physically move up and down at the front, to provide the mechanical click.
    I'd really appreciate it if any of you could check yours for me.

    I called apple and they didnt have a magic mouse at hand to do a full sound diagnostics as my mouse had different sound on each side.
    I took it into an apple store, did not book a genius, and told the person at the back that it was broken and the button was not smooth. The person played with the button a bit and went to the back and got me a new one.
    This new one i can confirm to you that the shell does not move around, there is only little movement at the back, and both sides click the same way; nice and smoothly.
    There is a difference.
    So if you've got a mouse similar to what I described in my previous post, you should take it in because there is something wrong with your $69 investment.

  • Magic mouse - Windows middle click?

    Yet another topic on so called magic mouse, which seems not so magic now. Though I'd still love to buy it!
    Anyway, I've been looking into it for days, and once MagicPrefs became available middle click issue for OS X was solved. However, both my work and studies require frequent use of Windows CAD applications (hope remains it will feature Mac versions one day), where navigating with middle button is essential.
    I've tried to look through discussion boards, but didn't find anything similar to this. Thanks in advance!

    <rant> This is a big deal, but not really being taken seriously. Apple hasn't even bothered to work it out in their own OS yet. Thanks @vladalexa [MagicPrefs], a developer from Romania, for the final decision on the 70$ purchase )@steve(. Otherwise, the native software cannibalizes too much of the hardware's built-in functionality to justify the investment. Virtual machines would solve this issue, but I just don't have the free hardware resources to accommodate the kind of software I run. </rant>
    i don't care how )magicprefs for windows / other manufacturer's driver / whatever works!(, there needs to be support for middle click in windows )native, not virtual(. it's like have a scroll wheel that doesn't work on a 70$ mouse...
    fingers crossed

  • Magic Mouse Can't connect to my Macbook Air mid 2013

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me please?
    Well, I have Macbook Air 13 inch Mid 2013 and it is connected to the internet by thunderbolt to Ethernet cable, i have also iphone 6 plus and i'm sharing internet from my macbook, however, recent days it does not connect, i mean, when i'm sharing internet my magic mouse connects to the macbook and disconnects after 2-3 seconds. i tried to repair the  the disc from disk utilities, it started to work properly and then it stopped.  Now when i closed my wi-fi, magic mouse started working properly. when i open it and started internet sharing, it is closing...  Please help if you can )))

    Since Bluetooth and wifi is on the same 2.4Ghz frequency, using both at the same time, with the wifi chip constantly on (when creating a wifi network)(whereas when using the wifi as a receiver, the wifi chip isn't stressed much), causes interference. It is "normal". It's just that the Bluetooth technology is not very smart. This issue was already seen 16 years ago, when bluetooth got introduced.
