Magic Mouse Jitter tracking

Have read some info on the web about Magic Mouse problems with Mac Pros.
Has apple come up with a solution for their pro users yet or are they to busy working on iphones and Ipad and disregarding quality control and pro user hardware.
I started using macs near 15 years ago because they built systems for Pro users, now it seems they are disregarding them to cash in on the masses.

Believe it or not the problem is becaused of falsely connected antennas inside your mac pro. Seems that apple workers had some trouble figuring out the correct wirering:

  • Magic mouse wont track

    magic mouse will connect and click and scroll functions work but wont track. The senses are clean and the batteries are showing at 93%?
    It seems to have started when I tried to use it on a black glass table.
    Any ideas?

    It seems to have started when I tried to use it on a black glass table.
    Try using it on a mouse pad or a plain piece of white paper.

  • 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 jerky tracking

    My Magic Mouse has for some time not been tracking well.  It is a bit temperamental sometimes being fine, but most of the time is unusable to the point that I end up using the trackpad on my 2012 15" Macbook Pro.
    Overall the movement is just a bit jerky and laggy.  Clicking can sometimes also be a bit unresponsive, while scrolling is a bit better.
    It's not a problem with the Mouse as I've tried using another MagicMouse and had the same issue.
    I've also tried all the normal fixes, cleaned the sensor, changed batteries etc... but still having issues.
    I don't tend to have many USB things plugged in but do almost always have a second display plugged in via the thunderbolt port.
    It does seem to be a problem with the computer, so any suggestions would be welcomed!
    P.S. I have a bluetooth keyboard which works well

    Try resetting the PRAM.

  • Magic mouse stops tracking, Magic mouse stops tracking

    Hi all
    I have bought my magic mouse last year (it is about 1 year and 1 month so no replacement) now all of the mouse functionalities are working perfectly BUT the most important thing the tracking has stopped.
    I have tried batteries other Mac and still nothing i have downlowsed a bluetooth analysis utility and it states that everything is just great but still no track of the mouse.
    Thanks for all of your help.

    Here is the Apple document that may help you ....
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    Take particular note about distance from computer, interfering electrical apparatus and battery condition.   Check the green indicator light on your mouse.  Is it on, flickering or steady.   Here are a few notes I have written about batteries ....
    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.   Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
    Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.   I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.   Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
    Note.  Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.  
    The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.   Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ...
    Turn off the device.
    Remove the batteries,
    Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves.
    Replace or renew both batteries.
    Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired.
    Click the mouse to activate it.  The green light becomes steady.

  • Magic mouse not tracking

    my scrolling and click, zooming still works on my magic mouse but it will not track. 

    Hi there,
    I'm with the same problem at home. There I updated to Mavericks about two weeks ago. The mouse is not tracking anymore except the others functions that are working fine.
    Now I tried to conect it here at work (Mountain Lion) and it still tracking with no issues.

  • Magic Mouse erratic tracking

    Hello
    When I'm working my palms get warm/sweaty, not dripping sweaty but enough to give off a tiny bit of moisture on the tracking surface (not visible or measurable). The result is that Magic Mouse gets a rather erratic tracking. Very annoying and makes the mouse totally useless. This occurs weather it's on the table or the pad.
    Is it suppose to be like this? Is this normal behavior?
    Appreciate feedback on this.

    Hello a:
    I have not had the behavior (or heard of it either) but I do admit that my palms appear dry all the time. There is no setting that I am aware of that would cause that behavior.

  • Can I use Magic Mouse, Track Pad and the wireless keyboard together?

    Can I use a Magic Mouse, a Track Pad,  and the wireless keyboard together at once?
    Thanks.

    All through bluetooth?

  • Magic Mouse kills Steermouse

    Has anyone found a way to get the Magic Mouse to track faster? I've used Steermouse for years (absolutely nuts that Apple would require people to use 3rd party software to do something so simple as increase tracking speed) and have been happy with it. I just got the Magic Mouse and after the software update Steermouse no longer sees Magic Mouse as a compatible mouse.
    Steermouse or Apple, please get us an update so I can use this thing!
    I really like the scrolling and the feel of the mouse, but it's unusable (without severe wrist pain) even at the highest tracking speed.

    I was very excited to try out my new Magic Mouse - It's certainly a design classic and a thing of beauty. BUT, and as with other posts here, as soon as I've installed the update for Snow Leopard I too found the fastest tracking setting far too slow.
    I use a Macbook Pro 15" - but attached to it is a 23" Apple Cinema Display so tracking across the two screens was unbearable at the highest setting - having to move my mouse across the desk / lift it up and move it further to get to the other side.
    Having read other threads I've installed Mouse Zoom, which has certainly improved things (thought the acceleration / momentum doesn't quite feel right, too slow when moved slow), and will keep my eye on USB Overdrive for it's imminent update.
    Come on Apple! - Please get your act together and please provide a software update that makes using the Magic Mouse a pleasure for everyone, as it should be. There should be no need for third-party software, and I know a whole bunch of non-techy Mac users (and ones I've persuaded to switch to Mac soon) that will simply be very frustrated with this, and not even think to look for a third-party solution for such a piece of equipment.
    Also options to customise the other multi-touch gestures to do other functions would be great addition...

  • Apple Magic Mouse tracking speed

    Is there a reason that every time I restart my 15" 2010 MBP  that system preferences forgets my tracking speed for the magic mouse?  It is very annoying to have to go into system preferences and changer it everytime I do a system restart.  Operating system is the latest Version of Mavericks.
    Thank you for any help to answer or resolve this issue.

    Thank you I had that program installed and the tracking speed in that application was set slower and was overriding the mouse preference.  Simple Fix.  Thanks again!

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

    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.

    You may have to do this more than once.

  • Magic mouse scrolling, clicking, but NOT tracking

    Magic mouse, about a year old, stopped tracking recently. Its bluetooth connection is there just fine, is discoverable etc. Its power light shows (the little green one). It scrolls, clicks, right-clicks. But it doesn't track. The light sensor area under the mouse doesn't show a red light when I flip it over.
    Sounds like a hardware failure yes?
    What to do - visit the geniuses?

    You won't see the laser light, it's not visible to the eye. Try cleaning the laser sensor/transmitter with a Q-tip and insure you have good batteries.

  • Magic Mouse tracking problem

    OK...it's all pretty and shiny so I bought it. Installed the mouse software update to Snow Leopard and though it appears to be installed just fine, the tracking rate is SLOWWWWWWW, even though I have it set to the highest tracking setting.
    With my Wireless Mighty Mouse on a new 24" LED Cinema it takes no more than two inches of mouse travel on the pad to go from one side of the monitor to the other with the pointer. With the Magic Mouse my mouse pad isn't wide enough! Seriously, with the tracking set to maximum for both mice the Magic Mouse moves about 3/4 way across my monitor when traveling the entire nine inches of my mouse pad.
    The Mighty Mouse was already bad enough at this (it had to be on the max tracking setting) but this isn't right. Unless someone has a fix this goes back to the store (it's already out of use). Thanks.

    Yes...fully understand the concept of acceleration, but it's still not working properly for me. It is definitely better after I changed the tracking limit to "5" in Terminal, but the left-right distance on my 24" monitor is still nearly all the width of my mouse pad, where it is about two inches with the Mighty Mouse.
    I use SteerMouse only for it's Snap-To feature (something Apple simply has never done in all these years) but it's a pref pane and I've completely uninstalled it trying to make a difference, but it doesn't. In fact, it also has a tracking increase feature that also helps a little...but just not enough.

  • Suddenly my magic mouse won't track properly, can anyone help?

    Suddenly my magic mouse won't track around the screen properly, can anyone help? It was working fine then it started sticking. It scrolls from top to bottom fine just the on screen movement is effected. The battery is showing 100%, I've changed the fast/slow slider all the way to the right which has helped a little and unpaired it from bluetooth then re-paired it, did an SMC shut-down, cleaned ball, battery points but it still does not feel totally right? Am I missing something?

    hi, i had the same problem.
    i just put my mac into sleepmode
    apple logo left corner --> first option above restart
    then i connected my magic mouse ( holding the button)
    and then it worked
