Magic Mouse erratic with BT Apple keyboard

I just bought a new 24" ACD, and a the wireless Apple keyboard (the small one). Immediately, I noticed my Magic mouse behavior erratic. It was lagging, stuttering, and all around a mess to deal with. I reset the PRAM/SMC (old standards), I deleted the mouse and keyboard, then paired them again, restarted. It seemed to work fine for a while, but then again it comes back. Could it be interference with the wireless keyboard? Besides the 24" ACD the only change was the wireless keyboard.
I'm working now, but tomorrow I may try turning off the keyboard and see if the mouse exhibits the same behavior. I don't think it could be because of the new display...

It seems to only happen when I'm using the display as my main display (with my MBP lid closed). When I use the display to extend the desktop (while my 15" MBP is open), the mouse works fine. I've tested everything I could think of, and only can replicate the issue when my MBP is closed.
Anyone else have this problem?

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

I have an iMac 1.83 ghz Intel Core Duo. The sound is suddenly intermittent, the magic mouse erratic. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. How do I correct this? Will Lion run on this machine?

Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse. Not sure why.
I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

HT4111 does the magic mouse pair with an ipad?

Does the magic mouse work with an ipad?

bburik, I do not think so. Ipad is all touch screen, and the pointer will not show up on the ipad. The ipad is made to only be touch screen. But what you can do, is buy an external keyboard for the ipad, and then you can at least type with an actuall keyboard. But no magic mouse.

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?

My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.

I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
Good luck!

Magic mouse erratic mayhem!

My magic mouse is posssesed! it seems to be playing back a sped up record of mouse moves or has a virus. I searched and tried: restart, Pram reset, remove the com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse then restart. Tried a USB mouse same erratic result!. replaced batteries.
Restart with all USB unplugged and magic mouse turned off and bluetooth off, and tried the USB cord mouse. Seems to be working on USB cord mouse, retried the bluetooth magic mouse and get same erratic result, no control at all, but USB cable mouse works fine.
Cannot restore the magic mouse so I have it off and using a corded mouse.
27" iMac mid 2011 2.7ghz intelcorei5 12Gb ram.
Thank you for your help

Sounds like a problem with the Magic Mouse. You'll need to contact Apple about that. If it's within the warranty period and the mouse doesn't have any evidence of abuse, they should replace it for you.

Magic Mouse erratic in Photoshop

The magic mouse is acting crazy in Photoshop. I click and once my hand is off, the picture either minimizes to a dot or maximizes to gigantic pixelated size. So, for Photoshop I use a Microsoft Mouse and I have no problems.
I can't figure out why the MM is behaving like that. I doesn't happen in any other application, but then the Microsoft Intellimouse works perfectly.
Roxy

Personally, and this is just my opinion and advice being stated here, but depending how much you use Photoshop and what you use Photoshop for, I would forget using Apple's Bluetooth wireless mice (and, perhaps, forget their wireless trackpad, although I have been told its tracking is much better than the wireless Magic Or Mighty Mouse) and stick to using a third party wired mouse or wired trackpad or even older IR remote wireless mice or trackpads as most IR wireless input devices track better and have better resolution.
I found Apple's Magic Mouse frustrating and terrible with all but more expensive higher grade batteries designed for high drain electronic devices.
And sometimes would not pair with my IMac or work erratically, too!
I return it within 14 days. I like the way it looked, but not how it worked.
I used to use IR wireless Microsoft and Logitech mice that tracked and worked real well.
I just, recently,purchase the Mac version of the Logitech Bluetooth Wireless trackpad and so far this works excellent with normal computer use, but haven't really tested using this for all my design and image editing apps, as yet.
I use a wired USB Wacom Intuous 3 drawing tablet with 3 brush pens and the high resolution mouse for all of my design apps.
Consider sticking to a wired input device or trying another third party input device.

Why does only my magic mouse work with 10.6.8 update?!!!

Hi. Ever since updating my software to 10.6.8, the ONLY mouse I can use is the Magic Mouse - ANYTHING ELSE I try and use, wireless or not, will cause my computer to crash. I get asked to turn it off and back on. As soon as I try another mouse, I get a black curtain go down my screen and the message comes up. I have been getting these Kernal Panic things also when I start up with another mouse connected. I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! And now I am being forced to use it. Is Apple serious about this? It's ridiculous. I can't work properly with this mouse. HELP!!!!! Is there going to be any fix?

If your HP is networked and using Bonjour as a protocol, then the 10.6.8 update made some changes to the core backend services such as Bonjour and this could be causing the error. With the job in error in the print queue, you can highlight the job (click once to select it) and then press the Job Info button (the blue circle with the white I inside). Doing this will give more information about the problem. You can post that information back here so we can advise what steps to take next.
If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB then you may just need to remove the existing print queue, by opening Print & Fax and selecting the HP and then pressing the minus button. With the queue removed you can then click the plus button to add the queue again, selecting the HP in the Default Add Printer view.

Have no mouse and a non-apple keyboard

i recently got this computer as a hand me down so I could get accustomed to Mac OS. unfortunately it did not come with a keyboard or a mouse and all i have available right now is a non-apple keyboard. I'm having difficulty trying to navigate my way through anything. Can anyone help?

Hi, s2loco -
Eww is correct.
For many things there are keyboard workarounds. For example, if you are looking at the desktop, press the up-arrow key - that should highlight the upper-leftmost icon on the desktop; you can then use the arrow keys to navigate from icon to icon on the desktop. Note though that you can only travel that way in a straight line, laterally or vertically.
You can also press the initial letter of the filename of the item - even the first two if you're fast enough - and the alphabetical-earliest item whose filename starts with that lerr(s) will be selected. You can then press Command-O as before.
You can also press 1 to select an item that starts with 1, or the earliest item alphanumerically, and then use the Tab key to move from one item to the next in alphanumerical order.
These methods will also work in a folder set to List view as well as one set to Icon view.
Once the icon of an item you want to activate (open if it is a folder, start if it is a program, open with its creator program if it is a document) is selected, pressing Command-O (that's the letter "O", lower case) will initiate that action.
However - although the Enter key can be used in most windows to activate the default button, there is no keyboard solution to using pulldown menus, or to select items in a radio-button array (like in control panels), or (in most windows) to click a button other than the default one. For those a mouse is needed.
Just as important is using a keyboard which is compatible with Apple command keys. Although there are many non-Apple keyboards which are Mac-compatible, many, if not most, PC keyboards are not - it is iffy whether the Window, Alt, or whatever-they-use keys on such will behave like the keys on Mac-compatible keyboards.
If you have a working mouse, then you can sidestep the absence of keyboard command compatibility on such keyboards - except at startup. No matter how well we maintain our Macs, at some point or another we will need to use one or more startup commands - to zap the PRAM or rebuild the desktop; or to select an alternate boot volume; or to access Extensions Manager before the OS loads; or for some other crisis-based reason. For that reason it is wise to have a Mac-compatible keyboard available.
