Magic Mouse scrolling died after last Lion update

Since the last OS lion update, my Magic Mouse stopped scrolling. It just works as a normal mouse, and a bad one.
Moreover, everytime I lift it, or sometimes even randomly, the cursor jumps from place to place on the screen. That's very annoying.
Anyone with the same problem ?

I had the same problem, followed captfred's instuctions.
My macbook air crashed and a grey box popped up asking me to restart.
I did and the scrolling went back to normal. Plus the jumping around of the cursor stopped too.

  • Unable to wake screen using magic mouse or trackpad after installing magic mouse

    Dear Everyone,
    I am using mbp 15 inch early 2011 with 2 GHZ intel i7 processor and a  4gb ram. I would like to tell you that i have installed the mac os x lion and quite happy with the improvement. however, there are same changes which i am not sure whether it is that my mac that causeing theproblem or the bug from the lion itself. i am unable to wake my mbp screen using my magic mouse or trackpad after installing lion. i believe that my mbp has not really enter sleep mode as i dont see the sleep indicator at the bottom right corner flickering. i also believe that it is only the screen that goes to sleep while the hard disk is not. Normally a single swing  of the magic mouse or a single swipe of the trackpad will normally wake the screen. in order to wake the screen now is only to click on the magic mouse or trackpad. furthermore, scrolliing page using magic mouse also become unusual after installing the lion. does any of u happen to come across these problems as well? Is there any other way to downgrade to snow leopard back? (i ask this in case that this issue really cannot be fixed). Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for taking your time to read and reply this thread.

    First, Lion does not wake on mouse or trackpad movement, only clicks or keyboard presses.  This is presumably to avoid waking the computer from display or full sleep accidentally, and is just how Lion works.  It's going to take some getting used to, personally, but I've noticed my mac hasn't woken up on it's own.  Apparently moving about my apartment moves the mouse enough that Snow Leopard used to wake the iMac.  This is not a glitch, and unfortunately, a downgrade is a complicated matter, involving erasing the HD entirely, and restoring from a backup created in Snow Leopard and not used with Lion at all, or manually importing important bits of data, as libraries upgraded by new versions of Mail, iCal, etc will not be compatible with the old versions.
    In terms of your mouse scrolling, describe it in a bit more detail; Lion introduces "natural" scrolling, where instead of the mouse wheel moving the "window" over the contents, it moves the contents through the window, like scrolling on an iPhone or iPad.  In other words, think of your finger on the mouse as pressing on the page you're looking at and dragging it upward through the field of view.  I remember long ago thinking my very first scrolling mouse was backwards, and then adjusting to "down is down, up is up".  If this is the behavior you're experiencing, this also is the way Lion works.  This, however, can be changed in the mouse or trackpad preference pane in system preferences.  Simply deselect "natural" scrolling.
    In a more general sense, its usually not a good idea to do a major software upgrade on your primary machine unless you're willing to deal with some zero-day glitches.  It sounds like the issues you're having aren't actually glitches, and you should be happy for that, but in the future, you might want to wait a few weeks for other users with more experience with major OS launches to find those bugs and point them out to the community for Apple to fix.  In terms of an OS launch, I think this has been absolutely one of the best.  I'm seeing very few major glitches resulting in lost data, few things that would really destroy my personal workflows, and compatiblity issues with other products seems to be well documented or negligible.  It's also a bit hasty to assume that mere hours after launch Apple would have any ability to fix ACTUAL problems with the OS.  My recommendation would be to get used to the change; having to click the mouse at least means you'll never accidentally wake your machine bumping against your desk.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

    How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

  • IMovie 11 crashed after last software update

    I have a MacBook Air (mid 2011) with last Lion update. After I mede this week sofware update iMovie 11 cannot open, it tries but crash after a few second. If I push reopen in the crash window report it crashed again. I read in this forum that is happening the same in MacBook Pro, with Lion and with Snow Leopard too.  Any idea?

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! That worked! I haven't used my iMovie in awhile and I wanted to edit a short clip when it started to act up and crash. Thanks to you I was able to follow you directions and everything is working fine now.

  • Magic Mouse not working after USB mouse installed

    Hello,
    I have been using my Magic Mouse for years then last week I inserted a USB mouse.  Once I'd finished using the USB mouse I removed it and tried to use the Magic Mouse but it simply didn't work.  Now - this is the odd bit.  The mouse is connected and shows the batteries at 100% and the cursur moves around the screen, however, when I click (left or right) nothing happens.  Oddly enough, the two finger swipe works fine.
    Any ideas???

    Hello DeeDub1978,
    I'm having a little trouble working out which mouse does or doesn't do what, so can we start again.   It is possible there is no link between the faults on the two mice.
    1.     First, to check your USB mouse.   Does it have a nice healthy light when it is plugged in?   And is there a cursor showing on the screen?    And the roller ball in the centre of the mouse ... does that look clean or slightly off colour? 
    2.    Then the Magic Mouse.   Although the batteries show 100%, is there a constant green light below ... or does it flicker.   With these mice there have been several reports of problems after the Yosemite upgrade and not having Yosemite I have no way of checking things out.   So if I say to you, on lower level OSs, an SMC reset would be an early move, I am not sure if it has the same effect with your OS.   If it can be done, do it.    I have to assume you have checked the settings and the pairing.
    Clearly we need to get at least one mouse working and I think the USB one should be the main target.
    Please answer in two separate sections in the way I have set out my questions.
    Thank you for the star; I do hope I can improve and help repair at least one of them.

  • CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update

    when I start up or restart Mymac Pro CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update. Also I could not reinstall Mac OS Tiger because CD Tray open automatically every start up or restart. What's happen? Somebody help me! Please~

    Hi.
    If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, try unplugging them and then restart. If you have a Bluetooth set, remove the batteries and restart.
    See what happens.
    Good Luck.

    hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
    in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
    then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
    could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
    grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
    cheers
