Magic Mouse doesn't work as it should

Hello everybody,
after reading tons of docs and forums without finding a solution I tell my problem to you:
some days ago I got myself a Magic Mouse. Aiming to use it with my Macbook Air running Lion (all updates installed) I paired it but I only got a very basic menu. No scrolling options, the only things I can adjust is the double click and the pointers speed. The sexiest mouse in the unverse behaves like something I bought at the radio shack for 2,50 €. Then I paired this mouse with my Mac mini (Snow Leo, all updates) and everything worked well. Going back to my MB Air I recognized that the mouse had been renamed by my Mini, but nothing else happened. I just can't get it running the way it should. I read some tons of docs and did the following:
- removed the batteries
- did a pvram reset
- removed the non-apple kernel extensions
- erased com.apple.bluetooth.plist and lockfile
- installed the MacOSComboUpdate several times
- checked my MBA for apps like USB overdrive and uninstalled anything
Nothing helped.
Before I go berserk, has anybody any suggestion how to proceed now?
Thanks in advance

Hello X423424X,
thanks for your hints. Unpairing the mouse from the MM at least gave it back its old name. I did the smc reset - at least I pressed the right keys, but there was no feedback about it - but the result is still the same. Uninstalling Onyx, Deeper, Fink and CoolTerm was useless too. I installed MagicPrefs today and it recognized the mouse as a magic mouse, I can configure it there, but the functionality still isn't there . All I get is this:
I think I'll continue uninstalling. Maybe I find out that keynote smashes my system.

Magic Charger for the Magic Mouse doesn´t work

Hi,
I´ve recently did my first purchase on the apple store,
I´ve bought the magic charger from mobee for the Magic Mouse,
which has been working all good with the normal batteries,
but since I´ve install the new magic charger batteries I just can´t make
work the magic mouse, I´ve plug the magic charge into a usb from the iMac 24"
I´ve wait almost a day so tha the Magic Mouse charge the batteries than
when I switch on the Magic Mouse doesn´t work, the green light from Magic Mouse stands off,
so obviously the bluetooth from iMac 24" doesn´t recognize Magic Mouse,
¿Any suggestion?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Allan Jones,
I don´t know under with authority you´ve answered this thread,
but and don´t get me wrong, your message was completely worthless.
Since I did a purchase on the apple store, the apple store should answer
for every inconvenient with the product than I did purchase, and as Apple
is a big multinational who cares for his customers, they did so Apple store sended
special transport to my home to get the malfunctional Magic Charger and than
they send me a new one which seems would work fine.
Thank you very much in advance.

Magic Charger Mobee for Magic Mouse doesn't work with Mac OS X lion Mountain

The Magic Charger Mobee for Magic Mouse Apple
with Mac OS X lion Mountain
makes connections overflows and stops the system work.
What could I do, other that disconnect Magic Charger?

When you say you cannot add the printer, with the Add Printer pane open, is the 6250 visible in the Default Add Printer view? If no then it could be the USB cable at fault and I suggest you try another cable.
If the printer is visible but the Mac fails to locate a driver when you select it then you may have to trash the contents of the BJPrinters folder (HD > Library > Printers > Canon) and then run the iX6250 driver installer again.

Magic mouse doesn't work with new batteries

my magic mouse green led light won't turn on after putting in new batteries. I've changed the batteries a few times with no problems, but now it won't work. Can my mouse be defective/broken only after a few months??

I have exactly the same issue. Whenever I replace the batteries in my magic mouse I have a few days of constant disconnections. At first it's very annoying and the mouse disconnects every 3 minutes or so. It reconnects automatically in about 15 seconds but it's a huge pain. After a couple of days the connection seems to smooth out and become very stable. My guess is that it is something to do with the actual BlueTooth radio and that the signal strength might actually be too high at first. One note is that I have a magic mouse that I use with an iMac and that never seems to have the trouble, but the mouse that I've used with my laptops has always had this problem even with a couple of different laptops. It might be the mouse, but it also could be that when I'm using my laptops the mouse is only a few inches from the computer, but on the desktop the mouse is probably 2 feet from the computer.
Seems like it's a radio issue to me.

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

RDP 6.0 Vista lefthand Mouse doesn't work

When i connect to a Terminal client with my Windows Vista my left hand lefthand Mouse doesn't work correctly (switch to right hand).
With Windows XP and RDP 6.0 i haven't these problem.
what goes wrong?
Regards
Walter

First off, I can state with 99.9% certainty that this has *nothing* to do with USB vs. PS/2 mice, and since you don't have custom mouse software on the client, the driver on the client is irrelevant to the equation. The version of Remote Desktop you are using is the most up to date available, so upgrading won't help you.
I suspect (this is just a theory as I lack a mouse to test it with presently), that the problem is not that Remote Desktop doesn't recognize the presenter mouse. Rather, the Presenter mouse software that does the custom button swapping is only designed to work with the Presenter mouse. It ignores the emulated mouse that Remote Desktop uses on the server to forward mouse clicks from the client, so Presenter settings don't get applied.
Does the server's mouse software completely remove the check box to swap mouse buttons, or does it just offer an additional means of swapping mouse buttons? If the check box still exists, you should be able to use it to fix the Remote Desktop problem. If it doesn't exist, I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of solutions. The only possibility I can suggest is that while the client mouse software is not causing your problem, you might be able to solve the problem using the same weird mouse software that is causing the problem on the server. As a test, you might try turning off mouse button swapping on the client, installing the Presenter on the client, and using the mouse button assignment mechanism it provides. If it is bypassing the usually mechanism for swapping mouse buttons, it is possible that the Remote Desktop client won't detect the swap, and will pass the clicks on to the server inverted. It's not an ideal solution, since in order to make it work in the long term you'd need to get another Presenter mouse for the client, but try it out to see if it *can* solve your problem.
I will look into providing a mechanism to solve this more easily in the future (even if it is just a checkbox to allow you to force a swap), but any solution would not be available for quite a while I'm sorry to say.

Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

Why has my magic mouse suddenly stopped working? I'm using 10.6.8

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Mouse doesn't work in Classic

Although I've owned 10.3 for a while, I just started using it full time. However, I have some documents that require me to use OS 9. Here is the problem:
When in Classic, the "click" of the mouse doesn't work on the Classic application or Classic menu. The mouse works fine in OS X or if I restart in OS 9.2.2 it also works. I got Classic to start using only the base extensions and that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas?

Hi Lauren:
Sorry, but I've got nothing to suggest. As long as you're not launching Classic from the Advanced tab of System Preferences (which by default would turn off the Extensions), I can't thing of any reason why the apple mouse wouldn't work properly in Classic. And as long as the software for the microsoft mouse was installed under OS 9, it should work properly as well.
The only thing I can suggest is Disk Utility: select your hard drive, then from the File menu, select "Fix OS 9 Permissions".
Hope you get things working again.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
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 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.

[SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work

I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you!

sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
Mac also is platform and OS.
Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.
