Magic Mouse left right swipe not working

I got the mouse with my computer about a month ago. And suddenly, the left/right swipe has stopped working. I've wiped down the top and changed the batteries. I restarted. It doesn't seem to be working.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Take it back to Apple and get a new one, yours is still under warranty.

  • Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

    Hello,
    since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
    I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
    Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
    Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
    Sascha

    Pual_31 suggested good advise...
    I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
    Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.

  • TS2662 my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work

    my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work. Help??

    I had this happen to me as well. just last week (july 28, 2014) I brought my magic mouse from home to work since my work mouse was going south. paired it with bluetooth, it moved and clicked but no scroll or gestures. searched till I nearly ready to give up. then I installed USB overdrive. many forum posts said too remove that. I didn't have it, so I installed it. and then un-installed it.  everything works great now.
    hope this helps someone.

  • Command-Left/Right Arrow not working

    Very strange behavior I'm seeing today.
    My left/right arrow keys work. Even Option-Left/Right works correctly.
    But, Command-Left-Right do not work. No movement at all.
    Curiously, Shift-Command-Left/Right work fine.
    I've not changed any keyboard shortcuts recently. I've checked the keyboard shortcuts that are currently defined. Nothing that would indicate a problem, but clearly there is.

    Just found a solution that worked for me here. Basically, it seems to be a bug with the Dock. If you type "killall Dock" (the command is case-sensitive) into the command line in Terminal, it restarts the Dock. After that the arrows seem to work normally again.

  • Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

    Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

    I have the same issue.  My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound.  not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
    Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE. 
    Any ideas how to fix it?

  • Magic Mouse - browser navigation backswipe not working.

    Hey, is anyone else having a failing experience using the back nagivagation swipe function of the magic mouse?
    As of OSX Mavericks install, the single swipe does not swipe back to previous pages visited.
    I am sure this is a bug, and kind of surprised it wasn't caught during beta?
    I am however, running dual screens (15" retina monitor, and 27" thunderbolt) but can't imagine that would make any difference.

    Nadnerb, you are using the "magic" mouse correct?
    I might suggest switching the power off the magic mouse, then under your bluetooth devices, remove the magic mouse. Then turn on the mouse, and reconnect it bluetooth again.
    Then test the functionality of the mouse. If it still does not scroll, go into the system:mouse settings and check that those functions are enabled.
    If they are, and it's still unable to scroll, is it 100% not working under Safari - or are all applications not working with the scroll? If no applications aren't working, there may be a chance that the sensor in the magic mouse failed.
    Would be surprised if that was the case.

  • Magic mouse and number keys not working

    Last year, Wet Baloney had a problem:
    I have a first generation iMac with the wireless keyboard of that vintage and a new Magic Mouse.
    All of a sudden the keys on the numeric keypad part of the keyboard do not work. The number
    keys at the top do work.
    Also (all of a sudden) this computer is not detecting my wireless Magic Mouse. There is no battery
    problem. The mouse works fine with my MacBook Pro.
    Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas ??
    While this question was not answered, Apple decided to archive it anyway so I'm reposting. I had this problem and my sysadmin wizard figured out what is happening. The solution is to open "System Preferences" --> "Universal Access" and select Mouse. Turn off "Mouse Keys". What I don't know is how that got turned on but it happened when I did a Mac OS update that came out around March 28, 2011. Anyway, that fixed both the mouse and the keypad problems. I'm posting so that someone doing the same search I did can find this answer.

    Thank You for this!! I was having problems using my Numeric keypad on a wired keyboard - when I used the number keys, the wireless magic mouse would lock up - the only way out was to Force Close the Application . . . Turning off "Mouse Keys" and hitting Shift > Clear turned everything back to normal.

  • Mouse left/right click only working in Dock

    My mouse Razer naga had stopped working after i interrupted a sleep
    i tried PRAM reset, and SMC reset. Also tried safe boot
    not working still
    i can move it and click in dock and in Safari it opens links just like when you cmd+leftclick "new tab open"
    is there anyway i can reset usb/keyboard/mouse so i can reinsert it agian so mac finds it agian and let's me configurate it ?

    This is getting stranger and stranger.  I did a test of a simulation, then one based on a standard Adobe template.  In both cases the right-click worked.
    Then I created a whole new template, created a simulation based on it, and it didn't work, and reported an error on the page that gave the following details.
    Ah!  Could it be that I didn't store my template in the "Templates" directory, but on my flash drive?

  • After reinstall my magic mouse and keyboard are not working properly

    so i've had various problems with my mac so did a clean reinstall, now my magic mouse wont scroll and my the f buttons on my wireless keyboard don't work ie volume buttons, i've checked the system preferences and all is well there, any ideas????
    i have a 2008 24' imac

    Hi
    It is not easy to say much about this issue.
    Do you use wireless devices? Are batteries OK?
    Have you noticed the same problem using other USB devices?
    I presume both devices uses USB port on your notebook.

  • Gmail - Compose email - Command-left/right shortcut not working

    Firefox 3.6.12
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    In the 'Compose mail' window of GMail the shortcut Command-left arrow or Command-right arrow to jump to respectively beginning or end of a line, is not working. Command-up/down (go to top/bottom) and option-left/right (jump per word) are all working fine.
    I already tried running Firefox in Safe mode but still the same issue. Also tried clearing the cache and all history but to no avail.
    In Safari the shortcut works fine but I'd like to stick to Firefox.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    This problem has been marked "solved" but isn't solved at all. This problem still exists, and is infuriating to any Mac/Firefox/Gmail users who like to stick to the keyboard. I've also noticed this happens in other google apps (blogger, docs, etc).

  • Magic Mouse multi-touch surface not working.

  • Mighty Mouse Wireless Right Click not working

    Hi Friends!
    I am having some difficulty getting my Right Click on my Wireless MM to work. I am aware that I need to keep my left finger off the mouse but it still does not seem to be working.
    Any thoughts ?
    Thanks !
    J

    Try replacing the battieries (or just taking them out and putting them back in). Forcing the connection between the Mighty Mouse and the iMac to break. Then put the new batteries, or the ones you were you using from before, in the MM.
    Re-link the Mighty Mouse to the iMac and try applying the settings for the right click function in System Preferences.
    Remember to mark as helpful or solved.

  • Magic Mouse two finger swipe (forward/back) not working with Opera 10.

    Magic Mouse left and right two finger swipe (forward and back) works great with Safari, Firefox, and Camino.
    I enjoy using Opera 10 and noticed that the two finger swipe does not function with Opera. Any ideas on why or what adjustments I can make to get it to work?

    No workaround so far with this problem and also no posts in the Opera forums. Just have to wait until Opera includes this functionality in their next release.
    In the meantime you can help by joining the forum (takes a minute) and posting your concern. The more people that join and voice their complaint the faster something will get coded into their browser.
