MAGIC MOUSE Problem 24" iMac.

I recently purchased the new magic mouse, having tried it in store and being amazed with it. It woks fantastically on my MacBook Running 10.6.2. It works fine on my works MacPro running Tiger. But with my iMac running 10.6.2 it is very often sluggish. Unresponsive. Slow. Then at times it can work fantastically for a couple of minutes. Then it goes sluggish again.
I also have an externally powered USB hub connected that is attached to the stand at the top of the stand at the back of the iMac.
I don't have the USB overdrive thing isntalled that some people references in forums that bring up this same issue.
I have tried contacting apple. Nothing works. I have done a clean install. I have dumped my prefs. I have unpaired the mouse umpteen times. The problem gets solved momentarily.
More recently now when i click once the **** dashboard keeps coming up - this wasn't happening before.
I have set response and tracking in the prefs panel to max and still it's slow and unresponsive!!
Incidentally i have big problems with my Airport on this iMac also. I have trouble getting it to communicate reliably with my Apple TV and my Wireless router. Sometimes it's fine. Sometimes it's not. it's driving me nuts and Apple Tech support are next to useless. My local authorised repair centre are claiming it might be a software issue and want to bill me for their time because they say it isn't hardware.
I'm getting so fed up with it now. The mouse has come so close to hitting the wall. I waste at least 2 hours every night trying to pair, unpair, reset etc and NOTHING works and Apple are next to useless at solving it.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME, THAT HAS BEEN GOING OF FOR WEEKS AND NOW WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY WHEN I SHOULD BE WORKING EARNING IT, NOT WASTING TIME TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS.

HI,
I hear your pain.
Just a shot in the dark but perhaps interference is the cause, go here.

Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

Bizarre Magic Mouse problem

Hi! I just got a magic mouse to use on my mac pro and am having the most bizarre problem with it. The movement of the pointer on the screen in very sluggish and glitchy to respond, as if its on a bad surface or the cpu is being hit super hard and causing everything to slow down or something (it isn't).
The random this about this is the mouse works fine on my iMac and Macbook?!?! Which would suggest the a bluetooth problem on my mac pro yes? But i've tried my old bluetooth mighty mouse on it and it works fine!!
I have tried all kinds of different surfaces, installed the 1.0 wireless mouse update, re installed it again manually incase it corrupted, reset the smc and pram, but nothing seems to make any difference! It's driving me insane lol...
Applecare where stumped too, and there only suggestion was to take the machine and mouse to a store, which i don't really fancy doing as its a mac pro
Has anyone else had / heard of anything like this? Any ideas of what the problem could be or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
John

I am experiencing the same problem. In fact, just now (with batteries at 93% and the mouse 2 ft from the mini) it lost connection. Please file a bug report.

Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your Magic Mouse. I just unpacked another iMac tonight and it's importing data right now. It's the first one we've received with the new mouse. I'll be sure to check it out thoroughly and will file my own reports as needed.

Magic Mouse with 2 iMACs

How can I prevent a Magic Mouse on a new 27" iMac in another room to stop moving the cursor on my iMAC? Is there a pref. that needs set? As I know this isn't happening in the Apple Store, but it sure is at my home office! Please help.

Welcome to the Forum.
Make sure the other mouse doesn't show up as a device in your Mac. Turn off discoverable in BT preferences. That should stop it.

Apple magic mouse problem

hello
so today i changed my Apple mouse batteries and now it disconnects by itself all the time and it's annoying me alot!
what is the problem here?

Hi code-itunes,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Magic Mouse is not staying connected to your Mac. I know this can be an annoying situation.
If your Magic Mouse started disconnecting after you changed the batteries, you may want to try another set of batteries in case the ones you're using are depleted.
If the same thing happens with multiple sets of new batteries, next try the tips in this article:

I can't connect my wireless keyboard or magic mouse to my iMac

Hello there! Both my magic mouse and my keyboard went out of battery life so I charged the batteries.
Then when the batteries where charged and i booted my iMac, neither the magic mouse or the keyboard would connect (through bluetooth) and that results to no logging in to the computer.
So I tried to connect the mouse and the keyboard to my macbook pro and there it worked.
It seems that the bluetooth isn't on on my iMac, so how can i turn it on manually because I can't log in.
Thank you.

Magic Mouse problem under lion...it´s jumping ...

hi there
i got a big problem with my magic mouse after installing a new audio interface (RME BABFACE) .... after installing and restarting the system, the magic mouse jumps to corners and clicks even when I don´t push "click" on it... it goes totally crazy.... you can´t work with that... t
on my mac book pro the magic mouse works perfect !! ... so it is a software thing...definitely
i repaired the hard drive permissions and checked them also.... no success.
anyone has an idea or did had some similar problem ?
i also started a thread in RME forum but no answer so far...
my system is mac mini i7 with lion 10.7.4

Hi ruddager --
Have you tried different batteries?
Like plain AA batteries. Or the Lithium AA batteries?
What are you using for a mouse pad? Have you tried a different (plain) surface?

Magic Mouse and 27" iMac Store Availability

Do Apple sotres have the magic mouse available? At least as a floor model to try it out? What about the 27" iMac?

Well I went to the Naperville, IL store to look at the 21.5" iMac since the 27" was not in stock. Surprise -- they had 3 of the 27" on display and a supply of the dual core for sale. Not sure why the person on the phone said they did not have them.
The 27" is absolutely beautiful!!! Opening iPhoto and being able to see your "thumbnail" photos so large is great. It also opened iPhoto almost instantly.
The wireless keyboard & Magic Mouse were tethered with a security cable so they could not be taken. The Magic Mouse works well - definitely tough to go back to a normal mouse.
I'm looking forward to ordering one. I will need to order online as I want the dual core with upgraded graphics card.

Magic Mouse on my iMac G5

To start with I purchased an usb bluetooth adapter and have paired the apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse just fine (my iMac was purchased without the internal bluetooth card).
Under the mouse settings though I'm given basic mouse functions. I can not utilize the two finger scrolling etc. I can utilize the left and right click options only. Also on the keyboard the Fn keys are not functioning correctly.
Does this have to do with not having Snow Leopard, the fact that I'm using a bluetooth adapter or neither.

Il magic mouse problemi

il mio magic mouse si deisconette continuamente anche con batteria cariche al 100%
mi da connessione perduta e dopo un po' di tempo si riconnette
perchè questo problema???
grazie...

We need far more information.
Has it previously scrolled horizontally? Is the fault restricted to certain browsers or program facilities? What machine are you using it on? Has this problem appeared following an OS upgrade.

Magic mouse problems

Magic Mouse will not zoom even when set to zoom in system preference

There are two methods to zoom. Full screen zoom and "smart zoom". Full screen zoom works when you hold down the CNTL key and scroll up/down. You can check that it's enabled (and which key to hold) in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing tab > uncheck "Zoom in window" > click the Options... button > check Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom". (This also assumes scrolling is enabled on the mouse).
The second method is "smart zoom". It's enabled in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click > check Smart Zoom.
This only works in some apple programs. Check it in Safari. Move the cursor to an area in the web browser and Double Tap with One finger. It should zoom to that area. You can double tap One finger again to zoom out.

Captfred

Magic Mouse problems on Lion...

I just finished installing Lion and my first impression is that I hate it! I'm having the following issues (of which help would be greatly appreciated...)
1. With Magic Mouse I can no longer do a 2-finger swipe to go back/forward on Safari or Chrome. Any way to get this back?
2. Does the scrolling up/down with Magic Mouse seem backwards to anyone else?
3. It definitely takes longer to open applications in Lion...its not fun waiting for Chrome or Safari to open. I have upgraded to 4 gb RAM but doesn't seem to help. I realize my computer is on the old side (about 3 yrs old now) but it ran perfectly before!
Thank you so much for your help...hopefully I can learn to love Lion like I've loved other Apple products.

rdaufmann87, thanks for the info. Would that there were a "kind" column. When I go to System Information and select Applications under Software, I see a Kind *field* and I am able to see the data for only one application at a time. Looks like this:
Version:    1.6.65
Last Modified:    [1/14/11] 9:52 :34AM |1/14/11
Kind:    Universal
64-Bit (Intel):    No
App Store:    No
Get Info String:    1.6.65, 11/16/2008 21:00
Location:    /Applications/Adobe/Acrobat.com.app
So my option is to select each of my hundreds of apps, one at a time, and see what is in the Kind field. Not optimal.
Still unaddressed: why can't I right click using my Magic Mouse in Lion? This is the earliest I have ever gone to a new Mac OS (starting with v1.1), and I am now regretting it after seeing how much trouble many folks are having.

Magic Mouse problems with swiping/selection

I've had two Magic Mice on OS X10.9.2. With both, the system deselects swiping in System Prefences after I select it. Pages 'bounce' in Word and Powerppoint, such that it's extremely hard to edit documents and presentations. Setting the sensitivity doesn't seem to help. Randomly, I can't click-select text in documents in Word.
Ideas?

Aaannnnnddddddd.... this has been really helpful - not.
A piece of advice for everyone, then: don't buy a Magic Mouse if you're using Word or Powerpoint. They're trash.

Magic mouse problems with MacPro 2013

Installed my new Mac Pro version late 2013 and all was working well. Yesterday I added two USB3 hubs and now I am having issues with my Magic Mouse. It looses its conection and is erradic in operation. Would be surprised if it was the hubs but I suppose I should disconect them and find out. Thought the new MacPro would have a better antena on the Bluetooth. Mouse has 60% power. What items will interfere with bluetooth. I am also using Parallels with Windows 7 running.

I suspect it is the hubs. Bluetooth on a Mac uses USB ports.
If you look at "about this Mac>system reports>USB" you will see what I mean.
