Magic Mouse - Should It Click At The Back?

I have a brand new Magic Mouse and I believe it's broken.
Should the top shell move up and down at the back of the mouse, beyond the Apple logo? And should the top shell rock from side to side?
I'm pretty certain the top shell of the Magic Mouse is only supposed to physically move up and down at the front, to provide the mechanical click.
I'd really appreciate it if any of you could check yours for me.

I called apple and they didnt have a magic mouse at hand to do a full sound diagnostics as my mouse had different sound on each side.
I took it into an apple store, did not book a genius, and told the person at the back that it was broken and the button was not smooth. The person played with the button a bit and went to the back and got me a new one.
This new one i can confirm to you that the shell does not move around, there is only little movement at the back, and both sides click the same way; nice and smoothly.
There is a difference.
So if you've got a mouse similar to what I described in my previous post, you should take it in because there is something wrong with your $69 investment.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Can the Magic Mouse work without clicking?

I thought it would have the same options as the Magic Trackpad on my Macbook Pro, but see no way to open/close programs, etc. without clicking. I have an injury that makes the clicking action painful, so have been grateful for the tapping option on the trackpad, and bought the Magic Mouse thinking it would have the same features. I get the swiping between pages, scrolling etc. Anyone know if I'm missing something on this? The demos on the settings didn't give the option, so I'm thinking the Magic Mouse isn't as talented as the Magic Trackpad.

If you want to, 'er, "teach" it more tricks you will need a third party utility like MagicPrefs.
Other mouse utilities:
BetterTouchTool
SteerMouse
MagicDriver
I don't know if any of these guys will do exactly what you want but it may be worth looking at them.

Is the Mini-Dvi adapter suppose to click into the back on the Mac mini?

Is the Mini-Dvi adapter suppose to click into the back on the Mac mini? It does on my mac book but not on the Mac mini. I sort of have to just jam it in there, no nice clicking sound, and it does not feel very secure.

If after 'jamming it in there' it actually works, then at least you know it's the correct type of adapter. However, if it doesn't work, you are definitely not inserting it correctly or into the correct location. In either case, you may have a damaged port - all the connections on the rear when applied correctly with anything like a decent quality standard type connector should work smoothly. You should never have to 'jam' anything into the back of your mini.

How to delete history in safari? Even if i delete the history with the open book icon or via the preferences, if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous websites. Thx for your help

How to delete the history on iPad in safari. Even if i delete the historie via the open book icon or via the preferences, even if the history seems blank if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous visitée websites...how CAN i definitively delete the history, thank you for tour help.

If you close Safari completely e.g. via the taskbar, and then go into Settings > Safari and click Clear History and Clear Cache, then when you re-open Safari you should just get an empty page.

Older versions of Firefox allowed me to click on the "back" button and see the list of pages where I had been in that tab. You took that away or you hid it. If you hid it, where did it go? If you took it away, bring it back.

Just see my original question. I think I pretty much summed it up OK there.

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

My magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page

Hi, my magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page and random apps keep appearing on my screen when I'm in facebook and it keeps sliding onto my dashboard screen.

Thanks so much for replying Barry. Did what you said but took me 6 attempts to be able to reply to you so unfortunately did not work. Have to wait over a week to get into Apple store so I guess I've just got to wait. This is my second magic mouse and its driving me crazy. Touch pad also playing up but thanks for the advice and have a good day.

There was an error communicating with the server. Click on the back button in you browser and try resubmitting the form.

I've had several users complain of receiving this message after they have filled out and submitted a form.
There was an error communicating with the server. Click on the back button in you browser and try resubmitting the form.
However the data is being saved in forms central. I can't duplicate the issue on my end but it seem to be happing frequently with other users.

Do you mind emailing the URL of your fillable form to me ([email protected]).
I would like to investigate as to what the issue might be with Internet Explorer.
Sorry for the inconveniences.

Why does my form data gets cleared out when clicking on the back button.

Can someone explain why does my form selections get cleared out when clicking on the back button.
I have a JSP page that displays a form with some selections and text boxes. I populate the page and submit the request. The action on the submit call another jsp page, which processes the data and displays the results via a <jsp:include> statement which calls the results page. When clicking on the back button from the results page, it returns me to the form page, but the selections are cleared out.
1. Is there something in my calling of the pages that causes this behavior and can I prevent it?
I notice that the behavior is different when using the IE 6.0 version Netscape 7.1. IE clears the page Netscape 7.1 retains the settings.
If I cannot prevent this behavior does that mean I will have to save the state of the form data. And if I have to save the form data, what would be the easiest method of doing this. I'm a beginner to JSP and Java, but have some ASP experience. I don't understand why the back button in a JSP request clears the form data but a regular HTML page does not can someone explain?
THANKS.

the browser doesn't have to remember what you submitted and fill that back in.
you can't prevent it unless you can ensure a new request to the server in which you can fill the default values in there.

I left my Magic Mouse on overnight and now the scrolling and swiping does not work. Help Me!

Hey guys,
About a month agop I got a Magic Mouse as a Birthday present and have been using it semi regularly on my Macbook. However, last night I accidentally left the mouse on while the computer was off overnight. Initially the mouse was completely not working, so I managed to reboot it by deleting certain things in the extensions folder (AppleBluetoothMutlitouch.kext and AppleMultitouchDriver.Kext) and while the mouse works fine now, the scrolling and swiping functions no longer work. I've tried downloading the update on the mac site, but everytime the message "a newer version of this software already exists" pops up!
I'm completely stumped (and I do not have USB Overdrive on my Mac)

It's obvious that you need a screen repair.
This tells you prices: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
If you bring your ipod into an apple store, they can also ship it out for repairs. Also you should back up your ipod onto your computer before you bring it anywhere, so your memory doesnt get wiped out. If you have itunes IOS 6.1.3, plug the device into the computer, bring up itunes, in the top right hand corner click the button that says ipod, then click summary. Near the center of the page should be a button that says back up now. Click that and it will save all of your ipod's ino to your computer so you can re-download it when its fixed. Hopes this helps!

Magic Mouse stopped right clicking right after 10.8.4 update

My computer just performed the latest update to OS 10.8.4 and now my "Magic Mouse" won't right click, even though right click says it's enabled. Please help!

Try deleting the .plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart
If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop. If not, put it back.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Magic Mouse No Right Click and 10.10.1

Updated to the latest version of OS X, and now both of my Magic Mice won't register a right (contextual) click. Is this a known bug? it's obviously not a device problem, given that neither of my mice have a problem. I'll have to look and see if my laptop is on the previous version and is exhibiting the same problem.

Got imac 27" i7 yesterday loaded , migrated among other things clicked mouse preferences under system prefs and also clicked to enable right click on new magic mouse. Ran fine until next day, got a hole bunch of keychain authorization accesses requests for icloud and it's products, everyone I had clicked the day earlier for the initial setup on this new imac, but also more to the point the right click on the new magic mouse was now not functioning. So I check the mouse perfs again, and the right click was checked so unchecked and re-checked, but no fixes , still right click not functioning, right click was acting like normal left click on any browser links. So I simply shut down, ( the iconic fix all solution no one wants to believe in ) and upon reboot functionality of right click on magic mouse came back. So I'll call it a fluke, if it comes back randomly I'll assume it's a possible bug in osx 10.10.2 as well as possibly 10.10.1? Anyway that's it so far.

I can no longer back more than 1 page by clicking on the "Back" arrow. I used to be able to go back multiple pages by clicking in front of the arrow

When I want to go back multiple pages at a time, like 3 or 4 pages, I cannot find a way to do that.

The down-arrow indicator on the Back/Forward button to list visited pages for a tab has been removed in Firefox 4. You can:
*right-click the Back/Forward button for the list
*HOLD down the left-click mouse button while on the Back/Forward button until the list appears
*add the following Add-on to add back the down arrow:

Magic Mouse can't click

Recently my iMac (Intel, with Lion) won't react to mouse clicks. I can move the cursor but there is no reaction when I click. I have a Magic Mouse but I get the same result with a Logitech wireless mouse. Could it be related to my new metal and glass computer desk? I have a password on starting the iMac so I can't even get in past that.

Probably not the new desk. Try a
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
