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.

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 gestures mountain lion

whats happened to magic mouse gestures on mountain lion...i can't even scroll up or down a web page with my magic mouse now....

OK. I found the fix for the problem!
You need to reset the PRAM and SMC... I just did that and it completely fixed the problem.
Instructions:

Mouse problems in lion

Seems like I'm suddenly having a myriad of navigation problems after having upgraded to Lion. One of the most frustrating is that scrolling will only function one way on both wired and magic mouse. If I scroll up on the mouse, the text rolls down. But then I can't scroll back up unless I move over to the scroll bar on side of page to navigate. I've tried all the options in system preferences but can't solve the frustrating problem.
Anyone else having issues? Anyone else solving these issues?

go to the mouse system preferences and uncheck that box at the top

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:

Bizarre Magic Mouse behavior in Lion

This is a bit hard to explain, but it's driving me batty, so let's see if I can.
I have a 27" iMac from the previous generation, and the Magic Mouse it came with.
Sometimes when I'm scrolling through a web page in Safari, or about to select something else after I have finished with a web page, the middle column of the page (where most of the information is) is suddenly magnified to fill the entire window, and I can't get it to return to the original magnification.
It looks like it's the feature where you're supposed to be able to double-tap the mouse to zoom into a column, but when I try deliberately double tapping the mouse it selects a word. So when I want to invoke this feature, I can't, but I can invoke it completely by accident, when I almost never actually want it. Double tapping the mouse again does nothing at all.
Has anyone had a similar problem and know what makes it happen? I'm very confused about this .
Thanks!
David

I'm somewhat disappointed by this because I like the feature in principle, but when I try to use it it won't do anything. Very frustrating and strange.
Maybe I need to give the Magic Trackpad a try. It seems like Apple is really pushing stufff that only really works on trackpads nowadays, but at the time I got my iMac a bit over six months ago, the Magic Mouse gesture support seemed to work just as well. With the new gestures I think the trackpad might really be the way to go.

Apple magic mouse gestures on Lion

Hi all
I just checked in this forum but didn't found a clear answer so I ask this question
Are the Apple magic mouse gestures working on Mac OS Lion ?
I just bought one 2 days ago and even recognized and in Preference panel all necessary check boxes checked no way to have the gestures working.
Thanks
Regards
BKantique

Sorted !!!!
I go back to the retailer and change the mouse and then once installed the new mouse doh !! still nothing..
After looking around in several forums about Lion issue suddenly I remember of a software I installed some months ago which is taking in charge USB (USB overdrive) and once inside I discovered that the mouse was attached to it...
Then I uninstall this software and restart my MBP and now my mouse works perfectly well all gestures supported, battery level shows and so on .....
What a waste of time but it's my fault just install this software in order to use a game pad which didn't worked and even with this software still continue to not being recognize by my games.... so loss for me to uninstall it anyway..

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.

Magic mouse problem, please heeelllppp!!!

My magic mouse can't click, scroll or anything....it just can move over the screen, but the movement seems to be so disordered
Last day, everything was fine with the Mouse
I didnt fall it down or crack it with anything around...
I've installed Mac Os Mountain Lion for about a week, I wonder if it's about the software or hardware (I mean the Mouse)
Pleaseeee Help!!!!
Thank you very much.

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC and PRAM.

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.
We are all just users here. Apple has a simple bug report system and it's open to the public: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html - Choose the Feedback Type as "Bug Report" and be sure to include every detail you can think of about you OS, the way it was installed, and the exact model of Mac you have. You can get the Model Identifier by launching System Profiler in your Utilities folder and click on Hardware.
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.

Wireless mouse problem mountain lion

I seem to be having a problem with my Magic Mouse after updating to 10.8.3. any one else having the same?

I´m having same issues, I´ve read numbers of threads in the forum where it´s suggested you reset PRAM, unpair-repair, reboot, removing extensions files. But nothing seems to work. I can move the cursor and simple click but none of the multitouch functions works.
HELP!

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 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.

Magic mouse problems with windows 7

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.
