Magic mouse clicks unresponsive after 10.9.1 upgrade

Hi Everyone, I have just updated my Mac to 10.9.1 this morning and since the update, I am having issues with Apple's Magic Mouse. Everything seems to work fine but clicking is very unresponsive and I now have to click 5 - 6 times before a "left or right" mouse click is actioned.
I am using a Mac Pro
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 6 GB of Ram
Anyone else experienced this issue?
I have used fresh batteries and reconnected the mouse but still have the same issue.
Would appreciate any help.

Try the following, after I reinstalled Mavericks (did not help), I stumbled upon this:
System Preferences>Accessibility>Trackpad and Mouse>Trackpad Options>
Uncheck "Enable Dragging" [without Drag lock]
This was checked by default on my Macbook Pro 13" 2011.
Good luck

Unable to wake screen using magic mouse or trackpad after installing magic mouse

Dear Everyone,
I am using mbp 15 inch early 2011 with 2 GHZ intel i7 processor and a 4gb ram. I would like to tell you that i have installed the mac os x lion and quite happy with the improvement. however, there are same changes which i am not sure whether it is that my mac that causeing theproblem or the bug from the lion itself. i am unable to wake my mbp screen using my magic mouse or trackpad after installing lion. i believe that my mbp has not really enter sleep mode as i dont see the sleep indicator at the bottom right corner flickering. i also believe that it is only the screen that goes to sleep while the hard disk is not. Normally a single swing of the magic mouse or a single swipe of the trackpad will normally wake the screen. in order to wake the screen now is only to click on the magic mouse or trackpad. furthermore, scrolliing page using magic mouse also become unusual after installing the lion. does any of u happen to come across these problems as well? Is there any other way to downgrade to snow leopard back? (i ask this in case that this issue really cannot be fixed). Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for taking your time to read and reply this thread.

First, Lion does not wake on mouse or trackpad movement, only clicks or keyboard presses. This is presumably to avoid waking the computer from display or full sleep accidentally, and is just how Lion works. It's going to take some getting used to, personally, but I've noticed my mac hasn't woken up on it's own. Apparently moving about my apartment moves the mouse enough that Snow Leopard used to wake the iMac. This is not a glitch, and unfortunately, a downgrade is a complicated matter, involving erasing the HD entirely, and restoring from a backup created in Snow Leopard and not used with Lion at all, or manually importing important bits of data, as libraries upgraded by new versions of Mail, iCal, etc will not be compatible with the old versions.
In terms of your mouse scrolling, describe it in a bit more detail; Lion introduces "natural" scrolling, where instead of the mouse wheel moving the "window" over the contents, it moves the contents through the window, like scrolling on an iPhone or iPad. In other words, think of your finger on the mouse as pressing on the page you're looking at and dragging it upward through the field of view. I remember long ago thinking my very first scrolling mouse was backwards, and then adjusting to "down is down, up is up". If this is the behavior you're experiencing, this also is the way Lion works. This, however, can be changed in the mouse or trackpad preference pane in system preferences. Simply deselect "natural" scrolling.
In a more general sense, its usually not a good idea to do a major software upgrade on your primary machine unless you're willing to deal with some zero-day glitches. It sounds like the issues you're having aren't actually glitches, and you should be happy for that, but in the future, you might want to wait a few weeks for other users with more experience with major OS launches to find those bugs and point them out to the community for Apple to fix. In terms of an OS launch, I think this has been absolutely one of the best. I'm seeing very few major glitches resulting in lost data, few things that would really destroy my personal workflows, and compatiblity issues with other products seems to be well documented or negligible. It's also a bit hasty to assume that mere hours after launch Apple would have any ability to fix ACTUAL problems with the OS. My recommendation would be to get used to the change; having to click the mouse at least means you'll never accidentally wake your machine bumping against your desk.

Magic Mouse "click" is not responding but cursor is tracking. Any thoughts?

First check your settings. If all is as it should be, reset the PRAM.

Magic mouse stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Today I upgraded Mountain Lion to 10.8.5 (via the App Store) on my newest iMac. First of all, immediately after the upgrade restart, my USB keyboard (which I prefer because I want the keypad) wasn't recognised; now, on the new Magic Mouse (which came with the iMac) the left and middle click are not being recognised. Whichever side I click, I just get the seconary click pop up box as if I were right clicking. I have checked the mouse settings -- everything is fine; I have checked the batteries -- they are fine; I have rebooted, to no avail.
So I've had to resort to an old USB mouse.
Can anyone help? I'm pretty fed up about having paid for a mouse that I can't use.
Thanks

Forgot to mention that the scroll stopped, too! (Good job I hadn't thrown away old faithful mouse!)
However, it's an intermittent fault so I could be tempted to think it's the mouse itself, if it hadn't happened immediately after I upgraded and if the upgrade it hadn't thrown up the keyboard error message, too.
I'll try the Combo (and I have Time Machine running on the whole system so can restore, if necessary).
I'll report back. Thanks for all your help.

Magic Mouse not working after USB mouse installed

Hello,
I have been using my Magic Mouse for years then last week I inserted a USB mouse. Once I'd finished using the USB mouse I removed it and tried to use the Magic Mouse but it simply didn't work. Now - this is the odd bit. The mouse is connected and shows the batteries at 100% and the cursur moves around the screen, however, when I click (left or right) nothing happens. Oddly enough, the two finger swipe works fine.
Any ideas???

Hello DeeDub1978,
I'm having a little trouble working out which mouse does or doesn't do what, so can we start again.   It is possible there is no link between the faults on the two mice.
1.     First, to check your USB mouse.   Does it have a nice healthy light when it is plugged in?   And is there a cursor showing on the screen?    And the roller ball in the centre of the mouse ... does that look clean or slightly off colour?
2.    Then the Magic Mouse.   Although the batteries show 100%, is there a constant green light below ... or does it flicker.   With these mice there have been several reports of problems after the Yosemite upgrade and not having Yosemite I have no way of checking things out.   So if I say to you, on lower level OSs, an SMC reset would be an early move, I am not sure if it has the same effect with your OS.   If it can be done, do it.    I have to assume you have checked the settings and the pairing.
Clearly we need to get at least one mouse working and I think the USB one should be the main target.
Please answer in two separate sections in the way I have set out my questions.
Thank you for the star; I do hope I can improve and help repair at least one of them.

Magic mouse stopped scrolling after system update

Does anyone know why the mouse would stop scrolling after latest OS X update?
Currently using V 10.8.5

Hello Kaulfurst,
While the article states that it is for Lion, this applies for Mountain Lion, as well. You may need to check that scrolling is enabled in the Accessibility pane of System Preferences.

MBP Retina- trackpad and mouse click unresponsive

Just got a brand new MBP retina, 15" 2.6Ghz Quad, 16GB Ram, 500 SSD.
Been working with it for two days absolutely no issues, working fantastically with both trackpad and a wireless magic mouse.
Used it this morning for several house, took it to work, turned it on and the mouse is working ie the cursor moved over the screen but i am totally unable to click anything! Forced it to restart (holding down power key as that was all that worked), hasn't cured the problem.
The trackpad physically clicks so doesnt appear to be stuck, i tried plugging in a wired USB mouse, again can control the cursor but unable to click.
Running 10.8.2, no new software was installed this morning when it worked fine, so cannot figure out what is wrong with it?
Any suggestions?????

Finally got it fixed. Make sure you guys call Apple Support. The first tier tech support is not able to help you because they have not been trained for that You will have to speak to a senior advisor. There will be a lot of deleting of caches involved while in safe mode. After did all that my trackpad and keyboard is working again. Hope you'll get yours working too!

Magic Mouse click not working

I have a magic mouse, with a MBP and 10.6.1 and the wireless mouse update installed.
The mouse more or less works if "Secondary click" is checked. If I uncheck it, clicking does nothing. The mouse moves and scrolling works, but clicking has no effect.
Also with "Secondary click" checked, if any part of my hand is touching the top surface of the mouse, I get a right-click when I click - makes the grip kind of awkward.
Tried re-installing the software update.
Any ideas? Thx.

Not sure why it worked this time, but I deleted
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
from the User preference folder again, and now the mouse is behaving as normal. I did not touch the .globalpreferences file.
I did clean all the system/user caches (using Cache Out X), and then deleted this file again, but now the behavior seems correct
- with Secondary Click deslected, the surface acts as one big single click button
- with Secondary Click selected, it acts as a two button mouse
- in Secondary Click mode, resting your second finger on the contexual side surface while clicking on the single click side surface does not interfere with the single click as it had before
- in Secondary click mode, you need to lift your finger off the single click side when clicking the contextual button side, or it will not register as a contexual click. I presume this is expected behavior, as it is physically a one-button mouse, and Apple opted for a two-finger click to be interpreted as the more common single click request.
Hope this helps some

Magic mouse click problem.

Hi all,
Couldnt find any solution yet for my problem.
It is always either not click or in click(can see the dragging box).
No problem with connecting & tracking.
I'm using iMac

Hi decavalera,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having an issue with the clicking on your Magic Mouse, please follow the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Have a great day,
Joe

Magic Mouse Click Pressure

I Just recently bought a Magic Mouse and noticed, I was clicking too hard on the LEFT side of the mouse, So, now I see a little more space on the RIGHT SIDE you know what I mean?, this action could be Broke or damage my Magic Mouse through the years? Now, I´m pressing on the RIGHT SIDE, to avoid lots of Drag an Drops! Any ideas?

First check your settings. If all is as it should be, reset the PRAM.

Magic Mouse not scrolling after OS X update

After OS X update (now at 10.10.3), my Magic Mouse no longer scrolls in Finder. Has anyone else experienced this? Double-checked Accessibility setting and scrolling is Enabled. Any suggestions on a fix would be appreciated. On a Mac Mini - Mid 2011 8gbRAM i7chip.

10.3 and earlier refer to Panther and earlier operating systems. Please post in the Yosemite forum:

Magic Mouse Clicking Problems

Hello, I've just noticed that the far right side of my Magic Mouse stopped to trigger a proper click, thus I cant really make right clicks any more, only if I press it down quite strongly. My Magic Mouse is now a few months old and I've actually never experienced any problems before.
I could imagine that dust and dirt accumulated in this small slit that goes around the mouse prevents the click. Is there any way to open the Magic Mouse in order to clean it?

I got exactly the same problem, but the folded paper solution did not work.
¿Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
Regards

Magic mouse clicking sound

I just purchased a new iMac 5K with the Magic Mouse. Every time I click on the mouse I hear a clicking noise. How do eliminate this? I have an older Magic Mouse and it does not make any sound when I click on it.

It certainly is.. I notice that when clicking the left side, it has one distinct "tick" sound but the left has 2 crunchy/clucking sounds. Hard to explain but it doesn't sound right.. I just want to know from anyone else if this is the norm..
Thx..

Magic mouse clicking noise

I bought the new magic mouse and it works well as described. But only one thing I can't tolerate--- the clicking noise. I know most mice have clicking noise but for the brand of apple, I suppose they can do something above average.
Do you know there is a way to diminish the clicking sounds? Why don't they use the technology like trackpad, which there is no sound when clicking and so sensitive. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

I find a relatively easy way to diminish the clicking sounds of magic mouse --- free. Use a soft surface item rather than the mouse pad, for example, like a stack of relatively soft paper (you need a lot paper). If you can find a hand washcloth (fold it into a rectangle shape), the mouse is like added a silencer. And it also move precisely. I suppose the sound is coming out from the base and hope this silly way can help someone has the same feeling as me.
Because this clicking sound drives me crazy, I think I have to find a way to kill this sound before I freak out. I think its a little louder than the old mighty one. Now it's all set. I hope one day maybe another smarter way to achieve it. Or someone can create a mousepad with relatively soft surface.

Issues with mouse clicks/jumps after using CleanMyMac App.

Since using this app. my hitherto slightly slow responding iMac has required multiple mouse clicks and is less/unresponsive.
Anyone else used this software?
As yet have not approached CleanMy Mac.
I have reinstalled Mountain Lion (download) not clean install.
Any suggestions? Is there a separate app for mouse that I can reload. Im guessing a minor chunk of code was deleted along with rubbish.

Uninstall CleanMyMac and do not reinstall it.
CleanMyMac is one of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing system corruption that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Get rid of it and test your Mac for operation. If it does not perform normally, the possibility that Cleanmymac resulted in system corruption must be considered.
The vast majority of Mac problems reported on this site are the direct result of having used garbage like that. Never install such junk on a Mac.
