  • Magic Mouse Left Click Problem

    I got a Magic Mouse for Christmas this morning and set up with my Macbook Pro. The setup went quickly and well. I was able to move the cursor around my screen with the Magic Mouse.
    However, the click buttons don't work. I have tried left and right clicking and nothing happens.
    Is there a problem with my mouse or did I miss something in the setup?
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem this evening. Is it possible that you had your USB or trackpad mouse buttons reversed when you switched to the Bluetooth mouse?
    I normally reverse my mouse buttons (like for left handed people). My index finger naturally rests on the upper right corner of the mouse. When I try to use the normal button config, my hand and forearm fatigue in no time. Reversing the buttons allows me keep my index finger relaxed for all the normal mouse clicking, then I reach left for the "right" button.
    It also discourages others from using my computer!
    Anyhow... When I connected to the Magic Mouse, the buttons didn't work. I turned it off and connected the USB mouse, returned it to "right-handed" mode and switched back to the Magic Mouse, and the buttons work correctly now. I then use the Magic Mouse control panel to set Secondary click to left.
    Hope that helps!

  • Mouse left button acting like right button

    I have a MacBook black with snow Leopard. My mouse is acting up. On both the laptop and a usb mouse the left button is acting like athe write button by bringing up action boxes instead of just doing the deffault action. for example I go to the task bar and to open a program and the box "open/ options" open up. what's the solution?

    Is the Control key stuck down? Try another keyboard.

  • TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

    My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions?  For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey.
    This seems to be a common issue.
    I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
    Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.
    Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

  • 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.

  • In Yosemite, Magic Mouse double-click function doesn't work

    On my iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2, the double-click function on the Magic Mouse no longer works. So to open a folder, or anything for that matter, I must always do click-control ---and that doesn't work for everything. For example, I can't double click on a character in Glyphs, so this renders Glyphs useless. And so on... I have gone into preferences to see if anything was amiss in the settings, but everything checked out fine. Is there a fix for this, or do I have to wait for the next upgrade for Yosemite? Help! Thanks... --Royce

    What's the answer to this mouse problem, please? Why does my double-click no longer work on my magic mouse since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2 to my iMac? 
    What's up Apple?

  • How to post an Event (mouse left click) to JTree node

    Hi,
    I am using JTree for my application just like the windows explorer tree. By default, Jtree node will got focus using left click. But, I'd like that my tree will detect a right click so that I can copy any file to the Jtree. I've added a mouselistener to it but the node is not selected by the right click. Anyboby can teach me how to post a mouse left click event to the Jtree so that it will become selected using left click.
    Thanks a million

    See if this is useful
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event)
    Object object = event.getSource();
    if (object == mTree)
    mTree_mouseClicked(event);
    private void mTree_mouseClicked(MouseEvent event)
    if(event.getModifiers()==event.BUTTON3_MASK)
    //your logic goes here
    }//close method

    Hi
    In the class JTree there is a method getClosestPathForLocation(int, int). The parameters are the coordinates which you can get from the MouseEvent. If you have this TreePath you can select the Node.
    This should solve your problem.

  • Magic Mouse Middle Click in Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp?

    Any ideas?, I found something (link below) but I'm not sure if its safe.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/26184/magic-mouse-middle-click-in-windo ws-7-64-bit-bootcamp

    That looks relatively safe but quite impractical in the long run.
    I'm looking to achieve something similar, getting the middle click button to work, since it would be very useful through general productivity in terms of web browsing as well as for gaming such as Minecraft (building).
    Anyone got any ideas as to how to achieve this? I know it's not possible to get this functionality in OS X without some third-party tool such as MagicPrefs, but surely it should be possible in Windows.
    Thanks.

  • My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

    My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

    You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

  • 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.

  • Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

    Hey there,
    I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
    Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.

    Hi bsruff,
    If you are having issues with your Magic Mouse in Windows 7 via Boot Camp after upgrading to Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

  • 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

  • My magic mouse just stopped working

    My magic mouse just stopped working. I have rebooted the iMac and changed the batteries. Nothing is fixing it. What do I do next? When I turn the mouse on the green light on the bottom stays on for a few seconds and then flashes twice, pause and repeat.
    On a side note. I just brought home a MBP about an hour before the issue. I turned bluetooth off on the MBP but could it be the problem? It was working fine with both machines on for about an hour.

    OK somehow after a couple restarts it fixed itself. ANy idea on why it did that?
    Thanx for any help
