Magic mouse middle button?

Is there a way to enable the middle button functionality in the magic mouse?. I need it in some of the applications I use.

Hi gX3 I was wondering what configuration did you apply in the "more gestures app"in order to "pan" in MAYA .
Thanks in Advanced

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.

Firefox4 has different response to mouse middle button set to "close"

Firefox3 and IEx respond to the "close" setting on Microsoft mouse middle button by closing the tab. Firefox4 responds by closing all tabs. Is this an intended change of behaviour?

No.

Mouse middle button = spacebar panning?

How about add this feature to Photoshop?
Hold down mouse middle button = hold down spacebar panning?

Probably not likely, since the Mac does not have a middle button as such.

Magic Mouse Middle Click Problem on Bootcamp Windows 7

Hi, I am using Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp. My magic mouse working good but I need middle click for some design softwares. I found some softwares can simulate middle click but the softwares just running under Mac OS. Are there any Windows compatible software like Magicprefs or Middleclick?
Thanks...

Hello,
I have the same mouse and after searching a solution, I found this article:
http://superuser.com/questions/814156/hp-bluetooth-mouse-works-in-osx-on-macbook -but-not-in-windows-8-1-boot-camp
You only need to unpair the Mouse from your Mac System, Reboot to Windows Boot Camp and pair the Mouse...
Now you can pair again on Mac OS and "voilà", your mouse can now work's in both Systems...
For me, it works!

Amarok and mouse middle button.

I can't pause playback by pressing middle mouse over tray icon.
How can I fix it?
Try on 2.4.1 and git.

Probably not likely, since the Mac does not have a middle button as such.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Magic Mouse woe!

Hi
Just got the awesome Magic Mouse, but found a flaw, and wonder if there is a fix for it.
I used to have a Mighty Mouse and used the nipple press to initiate the Dashboard.
Is there a way to get the same function on the Magic Mouse?
Thanks in advance

Pressing the 'nipple' (the mini scroll ball) performs a middle mouse button click. The Magic Mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button function. It only supports primary/secondary clicks (left & right mouse button).
However... there seems to be no shortage of utilities which allow you to simulate the middle mouse button. Just Google for "magic mouse middle" and you'll probably be flooded with suggestions.
I haven't used any of these, so I wont attempt to suggest one. But perhaps others here can provide suggestions of utilities which work well for them.
You can map Dashboard, Expose, Spaces, etc. to just about any control, function key, keyboard+mouse-click operation, etc. that you want. The lack of a middle mouse button doesn't specific block you from using Dashboard, but if you'd prefer to keep doing it that way, one of the many utilities should allow you to keep doing so.

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!

Horrible Bluetooth Keyboard Battery Life - Since Magic Mouse?

I'm having a weird issue that is driving me nuts. I've noticed that over the past couple weeks I've had to replace the batteries in my Apple bluetooth keyboard several times because it is draining at a rate of about 18-20% a day, even when I'm not at home using it or using it much at all. I have the first version of the mini keyboard, the one that takes three batteries. I used to get great battery life and only had to replace them maybe once every few months so something is definitely wrong. The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that I went from the bluetooth Mighty Mouse to the Magic Mouse. As a result I had to install the update that came out to support it and then shortly after, 10.6.2.
I have tried all the typical stuff like removing both the keyboard and mouse from Bluetooth setup, doing fresh pairings, etc. Nothing has helped. At this point I've deleted the Magic Mouse and gone back to the Mighty Mouse to see if that makes a difference, but I already hate it and greatly prefer the Magic Mouse. I'm hoping that someone here has seen or had this issue before and can point me in another direction that helps.
Thanks!

Perhaps inquire directly of Apple Care. Gizmodo's review (http://gizmodo.com/5386202/apple-magic-mouse-review ) relays a claim about the Magic Mouse battery life saying, "it's powered by two AA batteries, which get up to four months of use per charge, according to Apple."
Engadget's preview (link follows) included the same reference, the related headline read, "Apple's Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life."

Gnome 3.16 Middle Button Emulation

Hey there. I did a full upgrade the other day, including Gnome everything to 3.16. Today I discovered that they've removed the `org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled` setting. I've hacked together a solution here: github.com/kurotetsuka-b/middle-button-emulation, based on this fedora forum post, but I was hoping someone knew of a better solution or if the setting still exists elsewhere. So, do you?

I'm having the same issue on a clean install. When power button was set to suspend, it worked, but I cannot get interactive power off to work. I verified that the ACPI event is coming through and is making it into the systemd journal, but Gnome does not seem to be responding to it.
As a workaround, you can use a keyboard shortcut to show the interactive power dialog. Just open Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> System and set the "Log out" shortcut to whatever you wish or use the default Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I mapped mine to Ctrl+PowerOff because I am using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to show the interactive logout dialog from a custom shortcut.

Magic Mouse battery only lasts 30 days?

I bought my new 21" iMac back in October and today got a message from Magic Mouse that batteries need to be replaced.
What kind of battery life other folks are getting from MM? Is there anything can be done to increase battery life of MM?

Hi Kenichi Watanabe:
Would seem some Apple reference reported the Magic Mouse batteries should last four months. I've only found items that report the reference (have not located the reference itself). Clips below are cross posted, but if you search the Internet for the terms ["Magic Mouse" four months] (without the brackets), you'll find a whole series of early reviews and comments containing the same reference to four month battery life.
