Magic mouse/mission control malfunction?

I just put a Magic Maus into operation and all is basically working as expected, except one thing: while I can activate Mission Control (ugh) with the two-finger tap in the center, when I right-click I once again get Mission Control (ugh) instead of the traditional submenu that System Preferences says I should be getting.
Any way to fix this? I don't need multiple avenues to Mission Control (ugh)
ab

A few things...
Well first off, thanks captfred for the Mission Control pref-pan clue. I was able to remove the right click command there.
To X42424X, it sure was't that issue. I was going so far as to click on the very far right edge of the mouse.
Cptfred, you state that the double finger tap is for secondary click but everything I've seen (mostly from Apple itself) says the double finfger tap is for Mission Control.
Ayway, thanks all.

  • Magic Mouse + Mission Controls

    i tried using two finger to double click on my newly bought magic mouse but it did not activate mission controls.  I go to system preference/mission controls/keyboard and mouse shortcut, the only selection is "middle mouse button" or "secondary mouse button". 
    Is my magic mouse having problem or setting?
    appreciate if someone can help.

  • Magic Mouse triggering Mission Control on remote machine, how do I stop it?

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but here's the deal: sometimes, when I single finger scroll with my Magic Mouse, it will trigger Mission Control on the remote mac. Probably happens about 50% of the time. The other 50% it correctly scrolls the document/window/etc that I am trying to scroll.
    I've attemped to disable any possible gesture and such that may be triggering it, but no luck. Any suggestions? What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Mouse settings can be locked in : Menu bar, Apple Menu, System Preferences, Mouse, "Click & Tap" tab
    There will be a secion labeled "Clicks." Typicaly "One Finger Middle axis Click" will be checked, and set to  "Middle Click." That means it you tap the mouse, down the vertical center of the magic mouse, it will trigure middle click instead of left click.
    Try unchecking "One Finder Middle Axis click," and then see if you still have the issue.

  • Magic Mouse & Trackpad Malfunctioning

    My Magic Mouse and Trackpad are both malfunctioning ... They grab things (select and hold items) as they move across the screen and you can't get them to drop or release the items ... I can't tell you how many emails that disappear as the cursor moves down the page (the cursor selects them and deletes them) ... I've had to quit using my trackpad several months ago because of this problem, and go back to the Magic Mouse ... But now the magic mouse is as bad as the trackpad ever was ... I had to switch back to the trackpad just to write this question ... they both seem to be way too sensitive to the touch ... But the grabbing (selecting) items on the screen is getting worse ... Just writing this question, the text was selected several times as I type an disappears (I have to control Z and restore the screen). Has anyone else had this problem?
    I am using the latest OSX software on an iMac (27") ...
    HELP!

    Three things.
    1 and 2 iMac SMC and PRAM reset
    3. You say you're using the latest OS X software but your profile indicates you are on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 so your claim according to what you posted is incorrect. If you have updated your Software please use Profile Update!

  • Unwanted Mission control openings with mouse movement

    Many times Mission Control will open when I make a fast movement up or down with Magic Mouse. It's happening more and more, and very annoying.
    ais there any way to turn it off? I can't figure out what iscausing it.  Thanks - Rick

    It's caused by a double-tap with two fingers on top of the Mouse.
    You can turn it off in System Preferences > Mouse > More Gestures tab > uncheck Mission Control.

  • USB mouse to top right of screen = Mission Control!!

    It's really quite frustrating!  Whenever I move my USB mouse towards the top right of the screen, Mission Control opens.
    I am often trying to open another tab in my Internet browser and every time I go to do it (mouse to top right of screen) the desktop shrinks and Mission Control opens.  It seems to me to be like 'Gestures' that you can get with a Magic Mouse or a Trackpad but I use neither!
    Is there a way to disable this?  I've searched in all aspects of System Preferences but with no joy.

    Your welcome!
    You should also change your ASC profile to 10.8.5 instead of 10.6.2

  • Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
    One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
    These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
    Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
    This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
    I have read
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16799039#16799039
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23474052#23474052
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19660884#19660884
    and have tried
    Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
    Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
    Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ?  Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
    Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
    Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
    Has anyone got any other cures for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is what worked for me.  My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly.  I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below.  Hope it helps you too!

  • Can I perform the "control  F3" function with my magic mouse?

    If I press "control + F3" all of my open Safari windows pop up in an orgainzed fashion showing each page complete and seperate in a smaller form.  I want to know if I can perform this function using my magic mouse, not trackpad.
    I know that if I double tap my mouse that the windows will do a similar alignment, but it is not the same.  If I double tap then they are kind of made smaller but placed on top of each other.  I want them seperated completely like they are when I press "control + F3." 
    Any help with this?  Thanks.

  • Mission control "Middle mouse button" shortcut conflict?

    I am trying to set the preference shortcut for mission control to Middle Mouse Button. When doing so I get a yellow triangle that says "This mouse button settings conflicts with the settings for another mouse button". The shortcut still works even with the error message. I can't find this button being used anywhere else in system settings. Any ideas on how to find out what the conflict is? Sort of silly it doesn't tell you on the warning tool tip.
    Thanks.

    I know this is an old problem, but I have spent several hours on several occasions searching the Internet, and I never could find the solution. So I did some digging and testing, and I'm posting the solution for the benefit of others who are still trying to find an answer.
    Move the files com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist.lockfile (if present) from your *user*/Library/Prefrences folder to the trash, then log out and back in. Problem solved.
    *Note that this will reset your other user-defined keyboard shortcuts to default.
    To get to that folder in Lion or Mountain Lion, from the Finder hold option while clicking on the menu Go, then select Library. Open the Preferences folder, and the offending files will be there.
    I was looking for a solution because I have been having trouble with my MBP where often when I click the middle mouse button or use the four finger swipe up to bring up Mission Control, the desktop would go to gray briefly as though it were reloading, and Dashboard would quit. This would happen several times a day, and it was getting annoying. I thought that the button conflict perhaps was causing that problem. It now seems fixed, but I'll need a few days to know for sure. Anyway, the button conflict is gone.

  • Magic Mouse Control Panel Restore?

    Steer mouse isn't compatible with the Magic Mouse.  You can uninstall steer mouse drivers with these instructions:

  • Remote control / magic mouse wont respond

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone out there can please help?
    (I know that this issue has been widely discussed in online forums, but after spending hours trying to find a solution online, I thought I come here and ask directly!!)
    Last week I purchased the latest iMac 27" quadcore.
    A very nice bit of kit,.....but I'm having a real headache with lost connection problems with my Magic Mouse. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't....
    For no apparent reason, it just suddenly loses connection (and I have to resort to using my wired mouse..... until the Magic Mouse decides it wants to play ball again!).
    And now, in a similar fashion, my shiny new Apple remote control has decided it doesn't work either.
    I was flicking through the latest movie trailers this morning (using the remote). All was fine.....until it decided it didn't want to work anymore! And now it won't work at all......
    (By the way, I'm pleased to announce that, so far, I haven't had any issues with the wireless keyboard).
    This iMac is by far the most expensive purchase I have ever made - and this experience has greatly annoyed me......and somewhat taken the shine off of it!!
    Can anyone please offer any advice / help?
    Many thanks (in anticipation...)

    Hi David, just to give you a quick update, I've restarted my iMac - and now the remote seems to be working okay.
    Upon restarting my iMac I noticed that I'd accidentally set up 2 user accounts: one had my OLD user name (which I imported from my old Mac using migration assistant), and one was the NEW user account I set up.
    Earlier today I was unknowingly logged into my NEW user account - and it MAY be that my new user account didn't have my Little Snitch preferences set up in the same way as my old one....and was possibly blocking me from using the remote...
    (However, that doesn't explain how it WAS temporarily working this morning..... and then not!)
    Anyway, I've deleted the new user account I'd set up - so at least that takes any further confusion out of the picture!
    My Magic Mouse is currently working...... but I'm keeping an eye on it!
    I've read this posting somewhere else on this forum:
    "Trash a preference file and restart (com.apple.bluetooth.plist)
    Make the mouse a favorite:
    System preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the mouse and click on the little gear thing and select show more options. Click on the gear again and make the mouse a favorite."
    If I continue to have a problem with my mouse's lost connection, is this a course of action that you would recommend?
    Or is it best avoided??!!

  • Control many mac minis with one magic mouse

    Hello,
    I have installation with four macminis mounted to ceiling,
    I want to control and setup each of them without buying four magic mouses and keyboards.
    Is it possible to use only one magic mouse and magic keyboard to control all macminis?
    If not, is there any good solution for that?
    Thank you.

    Sure, turn on screem sharing under System Preferences -> Sharing. Then, connect to each of them using finder and share screen. So, one KB, one mouse, many minis. Monitor would be connected to the same machine that the KB and MOUSE are connected to.

  • My magic mouse no longer controls the cursor. new batteries don't fix it. like it's died.

    My magic mouse used with G5 has apparently died all of a sudden. Doesn't move the cursor.Fresh batteries don't fix. 
    Is it really dead? Can it be revived?

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM.  If that does not work, it is probably gone.

  • Magic Mouse works properly only on one user Account

    I just bought a Magic Mouse to use with my PPC Imac.  I have two users set up on this iMac and I set up the mouse while using one of those user accounts.  By the way I set it up to be a left-handed mouse with the left button being for the secondary (right) click. I got the mouse installed and it wasn't working very smoothly.  Then I discovered that I needed to update the software to the Magic Mouse Update 1.0. That seemed to get it working as fine as it could on this old machine and I was quite happy with it.  However, yesterday I switched to the other user account and the Magic Mouse was acting completely weird.  When I clicked on anything it was like a right click with menus popping up.  In addition, it wouldn't single click at all.  I checked in System Preferences that it was set up the same way as on the other account and it was.  I then tried to switch it back to be a normal right-handed mouse.  That gave me some functioning but it was very inconsistent and frustrating.  If it wasn't for the "old" wireless mouse that I had there were moments when I would have been completely stuck.
    Given that it worked fine on the one user account this doesn't seem like a hardward problem to me.  I also installed it on my husband's MacBook Pro running Lion and it works okay in both user accounts.  However, some of the special functions, like Smart Zoom and Mission Control don't seem to be functioning. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Did you ever get this resolved. Same thing. In my admin user account it works but in the one I use most I can't swipe scroll or anything?
