Magic mouse scrolling issue

- I am having a weird problem with my magic mouse; it scrolls through pages with no problem, but will not function within flash games. It used to, beautifully in fact..now no response other than the page itself moving. i am running lion, 10.7.5 on a macbook pro. i have downloaded all updates since original purchase (about 7 mos ago)..i don't play flash games every day so i can't  pinpoint when this started..???

Possible clues...

  • Magic Mouse scrolling issues in Yosemite

    Ever since updating to Yosemite (10.10.1) on my MacBook Air (2014 - 1.4 GHz i5, 4GB ram), my Magic Mouse has been exhibiting some odd behavior.  Often times when I try scrolling up and down a page in Chrome with a one-finger vertical motion, it decides to interpret the gesture as a one-finger right swipe instead, and ends up browsing back to the previous page.  I have checked carefully and the scroll gesture I am making is definitely vertical, not at all horizontal or diagonal.  Usually if I remove my hand from the mouse and try again it will be correct, though sometimes it takes a few tries.  It's very annoying and only started happening after I updated to Yosemite.
    Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?

    UGH my mouse is doing the same thing and it's ******* me off, I keep going back/forward between webpages when I only want to scroll. It seems 50/50 though...sometimes it scrolls, sometimes it just goes back but it's super annoying. Anyone have a fix?!?!?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • TS2662 my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work

    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.
    hope this helps someone.

  • 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.

  • 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 and Swiping)

    I know this has been asked several times, but I have gone through most of the posts to try and find a solution, and nothing has helped.
    I initially lost scroll and swipe about 6 months ago, and ended up downloading MagicDriver (which has now expired and will not be developed any further). That was a solution for the time being. I've killed off the USBdriver file, I've reset everything I could reset, I've even gone so far as to buy a NEW magic mouse, thinking perhaps my "old" one was having issues.
    But, I'm still unable to scroll or swipe.
    I've tried turning my mouse on and off, and now it won't even connect to the computer... I'm kind of at a loss for what to do at this point.

    I have had all the slow and other cursor problems described and was becoming desperate with withdrawal symptoms having had to use a wired standard WIndows mouse.
    PROBLEM SOLVED - I noticed horizontal scrolling had improved whereas vertical was still appalling.
    CLEANED THE MOUSE LENSES with spectacle cloth and cleaning fluid - cloth dampened.
    Everything now BEAUTIFUL! and I am able to do amazing things having set up variousa options with MagicPrefs

  • Magic mouse scrolling windows 7 fails

    I have the latest MacBook air and Windows 7 loaded thru VM Fusion. Everything works great EXCEPT the Magic Mouse vertical (natural scrolling) features.
    Is there a fix so my mouse driver in Windows 7 will find and support ALL the features of the magic mouse. This doesn't seem like a real technical challenge, just getting the correct driver installed.

    Your issue is with Fusion if the mouse works everywhere else.  I suggest you consult the Fusion forums:  http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion

  • Magic mouse scrolling problems

    My magic mouse no longer scrolls up or down, and it cannot swipe forward and back on webpages either.  Also, it randomly zooms in (without me pressing anything on the mouse).  I have checked all the settings in the preferences and all the checkboxes are correct.  This was all working fine up until about 2 weeks ago - not sure what's gone wrong.  Can anyone help with fixing this - be much appreciated as it's driving me mad.
    Thanks
    Graeme

    Get a USB mouse first of all
    -then go into the bluetooth prefs
    -removed the mouse
    -re-add it then test it
    -same issue
    -then try a different user account
    -if same issue is there test the mouse in recovery (CMD + R) it will look like setting the mac up again
    -if issue happneds there the mouse is screwed - if it works then reinstall the OS

  • Magic Mouse intermittent issues moving side to side

    The Magic Mouse is connected and it will scroll up and down and also, I can move the mouse up and down.  The problem is, sometimes it gets stuck and will not move to the right. 
    This has actually been an issue for some time now.  Since it happens intermittently, it's more of a nuisance than anything else because ti will always eventually start working again....
    I bought a brand new mousepad thinking that, perhaps, it was the surface causing the inconsistency; but it persists.  It always has working batteries in it.  Not quite sure what it is.
    Anybody want to take a stab at a diagnosis?  Maybe the sensor? If it's the sensor, how would I clean it?

    Go to bluetooth menu, and delete all previous mice, then try to re-pair again.
    Make sure you turn off mouse AND computer.  Then boot up computer, THEN turn on mouse when you get to the MOUSE preferences to add it.

  • Turn off magic mouse scroll zoom

    Whenever I'm in Illustrator and am holding down Shift Option Command the slightest scroll on the mouse makes everything zoom all over the place. How do I turn this off? I found an old thread on this  and the Adobe guy said it's Apple's fault and I should buy a new mouse. No. That's not the answer.

    The ineffectiveness of the Magic Mouse preference settings in OSX as regards scrolling is most definitely Apple's fault. Here is what you need to know:
    
About The Problem:

    Apple is not going to fix this problem. It's been an issue dating back nearly a decade and continues still. It is either beyond the scope of Apple's programming intelligence, or they simply don't care about you and your problems. Apple's programming intelligence pretty much speaking for itself, the only option left is that Apple doesn't care. It's one of the perks of the modern day tech business paradigm, where companies like Apple have so many millions of customers and so much momentum behind their market share, they don't have to care about you, the single, obscure nobody, with your Apple computer you've already paid for. Apple also being a die-hard fan-based enterprise, it knows full well that for every one of us who might have a problem such as this, there are at least a hundred thousand others who would put up with just about anything just to be associated with the logo of an apple with a bite taken out.
    
The Fix:

    Fortunately there is a brilliant, enterprising soul (or group of souls) behind the development of an app called MagicPrefs which more than compensates for Apple's indifference to this & other related problems. It not only addresses the inability to turn off the ever-annoying scroll action that happens anytime our fingers brush across the case of the mouse, it offers myriad other functions you might like.
    
You owe it to yourself to check out MagicPrefs, and thank the developers for giving us a means to rise above this bit of Apple stupidity.

  • My magic mouse scrolling is stuttering in safari 5.0.5. Can anyone help?

    Hi all,
    This has been a problem for a while now but am finally getting around to do something about it. I've increasingly noticed that when scrolling in Safari 5.0.5 it becomes stuttery/jittery using the magic mouse.
    I've updated everything (OS, updates etc...) to the latest versions, have plenty of space left on my HD.
    Does anyone have suggestions to get it fixed? Smooth scrolling is selected in mouse preferences.
    Kind regards,
    Jack

    Same problem here. As well, every few minutes, the mouse doesn't scroll at all until I've scrolled up and down two or three times. Other forums have posts about this problem, too. Things that didn't help:
    • quitting/restarting Safari
    • restarting
    • resetting PRAM
    • turning off smooth scrolling
    The problem occurs independently of:
    • Flash websites
    • complex pages
    • currently loading pages (active, or background tabs)
    • any other wireless activity

  • 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)

    Click here and fill out the form.

  • Magic Mouse - scrolling doesn't work on some web pages

    The scroll function on my Magic Mouse isn't working on some web pages. The main ones it struggles with are news sites (e.g. The Telegraph), or things that regularly update (e.g. BBC Sport live commentaries). When this is a problem the page won't scroll at all, even if you enable the scroll bars at the side of the page and try to drag manually. The majority of web pages do work however. Thoughts?
