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.

    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 has lost all 'touch capability' after Time Machine restore

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I did a system restore to my 17' MPB on Snow Leopard, once restored my Magic Mouse lost all scroll and swipe functionality.
    I've searched older threads and seen a suggestion about deleteing a systempreferences file which I did but it did not work.
    Any other suggestions please? My Mac is fully updated software wise and this is quite fustrating given the Mouse is only 2 weeks old!
    Thanks!

    Hi again:
    I don't want to generalize as some +"clean up"+ things can actually slow a system. If the system is slow everywhere, it could be lack of HD space (you should have 10-15% free at all times), memory, or many other things.
    I have a program called "Cocktail" which I rarely use (troubleshooting only), but does have some powerful GUI links to all sorts of things. However, I suggest people use this sort of software carefully as one can do damage.
    I run a +"plain vanilla"+ system and do not have problems (superstitiously touching wood).
    Unless you routinely use/change very large files, OS X takes care of "defragging" automatically.
    I'd prefer to never have to format and start over.
    As I said, I have NEVER erased and installed an OS X system to address system issues. I have restored to test both my cloning software and Time Machine.
    Macs running OS X perform system maintenance processes automatically in the background (unlike Windows, as I am sure you know).

  • 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.

  • In iPhoto I can't stop the scrolling

    How can I stop a fast scroll through iphoto?

    What sort of device are you using to scroll: mouse, trackpad?  Go to the mouse or trackpad System preference pane and change the scrolling speed to suite you needs.

  • Magic mouse problem - side to side scrolling...

    Is anyone else having a problem with mouse partially working? I can scroll up and down, zoom in, and swipe with 2 fingers but can't scroll horizontally or 360. Also I can only use the scroll up and down feature with 1 finger if the web page has a side scroll bar. So for instance I can only use mouse in the traditional way on the imac front page or on a web page without a scroll bar. This is driving me nuts!
    I can't understand how it's half working. Do I need to send it back? On os 10.6.2 and showing up in pref box with all options ticked. Have only had imac a couple of weeks so any suggestions would be great - thanks.

    It seems obvious that you can't scroll horizontally unless the page you're visiting, or your document, is larger than the width of your window.

  • 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.

  • Apple keyboard and magic mouse can be used to Toshiba Laptop?

  • Magic mouse rt click stopped working

    My magic mouse right click is not working. I have looked and the box is checked in the preferences but still not RT click. Please advise

    Hi there
    Yes the preferences does not help with this issue I have done everything to get my right click back but no joy. Until now this is a kind of fix for it. If you go to google and search magicprefs it is a free download and it basically lets you pick and choose what your mouse gestures  does for you when you swipe ,click and tap your mouse thus you can click on the right mouse gesture and voila you have right click back.
    Hope that is a help I know how frustrating it has been.

  • 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.

  • Magic mouse does everything except drag (scrolls fine)

    ..and very weirdly, it deletes tabs in Firefox just by clicking on them

    To use the Magic Mouse on 10.5.8 you need to apply this update.
