Magic Mouse Scroll Idea for Apple

I love using the new Magic Mouse and the Scroll feature is wonderful.
Having said that, it creates havoc in Photoshop as any movement of your fingertip when a zoomed window size creates scroll bars makes the cursor jump. So when using Photoshop, I open System Prefs and turn Scrolling off. Easily accomplished, but a nuisance.
I would like to see Apple ad an option in Mouse Preferences to "Turn Off Scrolling" in Specific Applications (ala like using Spaces, Firewall, etc. where we define specific Apps)

Magic Mouse Scroll Fail

Hi,
I have just bought a Magic Mouse, and am trying to install it. My MBP recognizes it, I can move the cursor and have use of the buttons, however I cant scroll. At All.
When I go into System Preferences>Mouse, I only have two sliders, Tracking Speed & Double Click Speed. When I click on 'Setup Bluetooth Mouse' it just says 'No Mouse Found' while the searching wheel continuously spins.
Im running Snow Leopard, and my previous Mighty Mouse worked fine until the scrollball called it quits, which is why i bought a new magic mouse, which doesnt scroll.....

If you are running 10.6 like your profile says, you need the Magic Mouse Software Update for Snow Leopard.

The link above requires you to have 10.6.1 before installing the update so you might want to just move up to 10.6.2
You can update your machine to 10.6.2 and change your profile also.

My magic mouse scrolls backwards with Lion

After upgrading to Lion the up and down movements on my Magic Mouse are backwards. I move my finger down and the page goes up, and the reverse is true when motioning up.

See "magic mouse scrolls in reverse/backwards" for the answer.

my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work. Help??

I had this happen to me as well. just last week (july 28, 2014) I brought my magic mouse from home to work since my work mouse was going south. paired it with bluetooth, it moved and clicked but no scroll or gestures. searched till I nearly ready to give up. then I installed USB overdrive. many forum posts said too remove that. I didn't have it, so I installed it. and then un-installed it. everything works great now.

Is it an idea for Apple to create a fingerprint-scanning home button?

Is it an idea for Apple to create a fingerprint-scanning home button, so the owner can get in without code? And if other people wants in on the iPhone, they need to be added for fingerprint scan, or given the usual 4 number code or the password.
I personally think so, and how cool would'nt it be to see it in a future iPad, iPhone or iPod?

New idea for apple

I have a great idea for Apple. With a market cap fast approaching 600 billion, Apple should consider expanding their product base. Apple should consider entering the automobile industry. Apple could specialize in an automobile that revolutionizes the simplicity of what cars are really meant for, transportation. The vehicle can be as simple as possible and allow passengers to fully integrate any Apple device or product into the design and function.
The vehicle can be totally top secret and be rumored to be the most fuel efficient vehicle in history. Taking everything into account such as carbon output, battery life, affordability, safety, simplicity and maintenance.
The name can be "Apple Stem" or "Apple Branch" or "Apple Core" or "Apple Seed" or "Apple One, Two, Three, etc., etc.."
The vehicle could and should be marketed for all ages. One line can be marketed for the first time driver through college. Special financing can be available that would allow for excellent interest rates while allowing a young teen to establish good credit in the process.
Another line of vehicles could be geared toward the aging population, with full integration of voice map features to help drivers navigate. The speakers can be mounted in the headrest so the hearing impaired can hear the directions more easily. This vehicle would also be the most simplistic of all, with room to expand features as appropriate.
I have other ideas as well if you are interested.
Regards,
John

Anyone else have a problem with Magic mouse scroll after Maverick update?

Now I have upgraded to Maverick (among other minor things) my Magic Mouse scroll often doesnt work unless I close the application it stopped working in and open it again.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? was there any worthwhile reason to update?

This has happened to me, in fact, why I'm even searching in here...I need help too to fix it! It's so annoying!

Suggestion for Apple Magic Mouse scrolling issue...

I have a Magic Mouse, approximately 3 years old. Recently, and suddenly, the horizontal scrolling stopped working. I tried every fix I saw suggested, here and on other sites, with no success. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to part with another $80 to get another one (because I really do like it), or try a different type of mouse (but none other seems to offer what this one does). This mouse has lasted through 3 years of heavy use, 3 young boys learning how to use it, several drops, 1 complete non-Genius tear-down and re-build, a couple of liquid spills, etc. So I figured I had nothing to lose; it didn't owe me anything.
So I dropped it. I banged it on the desk. Pretty hard. 3 times.
And now the horizontal scrolling works. Just fine.
When all else fails, try the inconceivable (what, bang or drop an Apple product on purpose??!!). It worked for me.

Love to watch you do that with your computer or your TV. Be sure to post the video.

Magic Mouse scrolling lacks "rolling feature" for fast finger swipe

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse for my iMac (27" 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Leopard 10.5.8 OS). I've noticed that the scrolling does not have one of the features shown in the System Profile settings for the mouse scrolling. When I move my finger quickly to scroll using a swiping motion (removing my finger from the mouse at the end of the motion), the scrolled content does not continue to roll on for a bit. Instead, it just stops. This is not a serious problem, but I would like to enjoy the full functionality as advertised by Apple. Anyone know what I should try to fix this? Thanks.

Hi Marilyn:
I dredged this up from my dim memory banks:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3925
You are correct, that article indicates that the momentum feature is only available with OS X 10.6.
If you have not done so, you might want to install this update (you probably already have it):

Magic Mouse Scroll

My son was playing on the computer and I think he did something to disable some of the magic mouse features. No scrolling, and right click works but only as the left click....that is, no cut/paste and no back button, etc. I can hit ctr and left click for those normal right click features. Old ball mouse works fine. Magic mouse has the same issue with the laptop. Any idea how to reverse whatever he did (though coulda been a coincidence too). Thanks running
Mac OS X 10.6.8

Hmmm, on a good, (non-Apple USB Mouse), there's swap Primary button, but I've had so much trouble with Apple's pointing devices, (and seen many reoprts of failures), that I'd pay extra to have them pull their pointing device from the package if I ever could afford another Mac!
Hopefully we get some help in here that is more useful!

Magic Mouse: Scrolling/Swiping not working

I just bought a Magic Mouse for my MacPro. I downloaded and installed "WirelessMouseSoftware.dmg"
Got it BT connected, but the multitouch surface doesn't works. I can't scroll or swipe or anything as it should do.
Any tips for such problem?
Thanks

Alrighty, it looks like I have figured out the source of the problem. The program is called "USB Overdrive." What I did was went under System Preferences, and did a right-click on the USB Overdrive to remove the item from my computer. Turns out that that is not enough. The main problem is inside Extensions. Click on the Apple at the top of the screen, and go to About This Mac. Then, go to more options, and go under software, and then under Extensions. It should take about 10 seconds to load. Once that is done, scroll down to near the bottom of the list, and if you see one called USBOverdrive then open up a new window in Finder. Click on Macintosh HD, and then go to System, then Library, and then Extensions. Find the one called USBOverdrive.kext and drag it to the trash. You may have to enter the admin password to allow Finder to make changes. Empty the file from the trash and restart the computer, and get rid of the mouse from Bluetooth prefs, and then pair it again. That should solve the problem. By the way if you don't have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) run a system update, and if not, then buy a copy, it's well worth the cost.
