Magic Mouse not working, frozen, how to fix?

Recently my Magic Mouse cursor became frozen. I can still scroll up and down and zoom in on webpages, I just can't move the cursor.
I've tried new batteries, restarting the Imac, rebooting and nothing is working.
Any other ways I can get this thing working without having to go out and buy a brand new mouse (cause they ain't cheap)?

I reset the PRAM and SMC and still the mouse cursor won't move.
It's just weird that it will scroll up and down and zoom in by tapping the center, but I can't get the cursor to move.
i'm at a loss!

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

    Hi All,
    I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?
    John.

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • Why does magic mouse not work with duracel batteries

    I bought an iMac a few months ago.
    Now the batteries from the magic mouse are empty and I had to buy new ones.
    Only they don't work. I had to pick cheap batteries from others devices.
    Can anyone tell me which brand wil work?
    Thanks,
    Bernadette

    I bought my iMac 2 years ago, it came with a Magic Mouse, within several months I started having the same battery issues. I looked here, and on the Internet to find out if the problem was already known about, but found only people guessing wrongly at what the problem is. I do hope Apple has fixed this, but unfortunately many of got stuck with a junk Magic Mouse. As an Engineer with 25+ years of experience in the design of electrical contacts & connectors which includes over 2 dozen patents ... believe me when I say the problem here is that the recessed positive contacts (at the on/off switch end) are too deeply recessed to make contact with the industry allowed variation in AA batteries. Those contacts are too deeply recessed because the plastic is too thick (in the hole that forms the recess) and the metal contacts are not tightly up against the backside of that plastic wall, in fact it looks like they are installed with a gap and/or can deform/bend away further opening that gap even larger. As mentioned above many industry AA battery standards define the positive button contact height as being 1.0mm or larger ... however that plastic wall is about 1mm thick, add the gap for the metal contacts and you have no electrical contact no matter how much contact spring force there is at the negative end. Unfortunately, there is no simple good fix for the average person to perform, the recessed contacts can't be accessed to bend them to remove that gap and the pastic is too thick anyway .. leaving us with a "duct tape" fix, like wadding some tin foil into that positive terminal recess and swearing when it falls out during battery changes. A nice elegent fix, would involve disassembling the mouse, machining plastic, backing up those terminals... absurd right?... would be easier if Apple sent us a new mouse that works.
    This problem has nothing to do with overall battery length, battery diameter, or inadequate spring contact force from the negative mouse contacts. Also I doubt the brand or type of battery is the issue for anyone, the positive button heights vary among brands/types, but probably are 1.0mm or larger per the industry specs, Apple just didn't design this mouse to that industry spec, or they did not control their manufacturing quality to yield what they designed. This iMac was my FIRST Apple purchase after decades of avoiding and dismissing Apple, ironically they won me over with their progress and high quality products ... I'm rather disappointed.

  • Gestures on magic mouse not working

    OS X 10.10.3
    My Magic mouse works for a while and then the gestures stop working. I have 2 mice and it's both of them so it's not a mouse problem. I have an iMac retina

    Don't be to sure about that.  Are you using a wired or wireless mouse?  Have you checked your mouse settings in System Preferences?
    Repaired permissions and restarted your computer?
    Dirty Mouse?  Check out An Easy Fix for a Magic Mouse Tracking Problem
    Set up a test account.  See if the mouse works there.  This is to rule out a system wide problem.
    After ruling out the above, you may have no other choice but to contact tech support. You will not be charged.  Also, since you have a desktop and you are still under the standard warranty, you may qualify for a tech support rep to come to your home.

  • Right click on Magic Mouse not working

    Hi
    I am having this right click problem with my magic mouse.  The right click function just suddenly stopped working two days ago.
    I have checked the Mouse>Preference> Secondary click is enabled to "Right"
    However, when I changed the secondary click to "Left", the "right click" function works perfectly fine w/ the left click, but when I change it back to "Right" nothing happens.  I even tried unchecking the secondary click function (someone said that will work in another support site) but that doesn't help either.
    I have tried removing batteries from my mouse, turning it off, turning bluetooth off, restarting the laptop...
    Very confused right now.  Please help!!

    The post is a month old now, but I did stumble upon it after I suddenly lost my "Magic Mouse" right click functionality.  Just as posted my; Mouse>Preference> Secondary click was enabled to "Right", though it would not work...
    I tried everything including; restart iMac, enable and disable "Secondary Click", disconnecting the Mouse bluetooth and reconnecting it using my Magic Trackpad, etc.... until this ended up being my solution:
    I went into System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and disabled "Secondary click".  Then restarted the system.  Then returned to System Preferences, Mouse>Preference> and re-enabled Secondary Click.  That worked and was my solution and has been working fine since yesterday.
    I hope this helps anyone who encounters the same as we have.

  • Magic Mouse not working in 32 bit mode?

    Hello,
    I decided to boot my 64-bit 8 core Mac pro in 32 bit and the mouse (bluetooth apple magic mouse) was not working... The keyboard did work however.
    Im not necessarily looking for a remedy to this problem as I don't really plan on using my system in 32 bit mode on a regular basis..... I was just wondering why it might be doing this..
    Anyone have an idea?

    Never mind... this is the MAC Pro section!
    I must be really out of it this morning.... :/

  • Does anyone know why my homescreen butoon is not working and how to fix it

    my home screen button is not working why is this and how can i fix it

    Here's a tip I read some months ago that is simple and effective:
    Open a stock iOS app (Weather, Stocks, Clock, etc.). Once the app is open, press your iPhone’s power button until the ‘slide to power off’ screen appears. From that screen, press and hold your Home button until iOS force quits the stock app you have open. You’re done!

  • Shortcut key Ctrl+L does not work. How to fix it?

    In my Photoshop Elements 9 and Photoshop Elements 11, The shortcut key Ctrl+L for Level does not work. I press it, the Level does not show up. How may I fix it?

    1. Make sure that your image is in RGB mode. Go to Image Menu>Mode>RGB.
    2. Check that no two layers are selected in the layers panel.
    Even then the shortcut does not work , then it that case you can always use the workaround "Enhance Menu>Adjust Lightening>Levels.

  • HT3964 Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse Not Working

    i've been using Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse on the iMac since Sep 2009 and they both worked well until one month ago, after cleaning the wireless keyboard, some of the function keys on the top row didn't work anymore while the magic mouse couldn't scroll left/right.  it's really frustrating.  how can i resolve this problem?

    Hi Frank:
    The battery reading anomaly is a known problem (began with OS X 10.6.7) and has been reported to Apple through channels.  As an aside, I use the mighty monitor widget which seems to give correct readings.
