Magic Mouse sometimes choppy when scrolling on new iMac

I'm posting this here rather than the BT forum because my intuition tells me that this is iMac/Safari/Snow Leopard related as it sometimes happens sometimes not. When scrolling works optimally (75 %+ of the time) I love the mouses simple aesthetic and fluidity. I'm also intuiting that as the various iMac/MM complaints are resolved (10.6.2?) the 75% will turn into 99 %

HI Dennis,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash... see if that makes a difference.
Also, sometimes deleting the mouse from the System Preferrences/Bluetooth devices window then re-"pairing" the mouse helps.
You can report issues here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

    Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse.  You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse.   Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless.   The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
    The wired mouse is a regular problem.  After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
    Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so.   Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight.  Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper.   This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc.   Then try again

  • Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion a gray bar sometimes appears when loading software?

    Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS?  It does this on occasion.  One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors.  Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this.  As I say, its only on occasion, not every time.  I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
    Please advise, if possible.

    You should see this 4 option menu.  Click on Disk Utility:
    In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.
    Ciao.

  • After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • When is the new imac coming out?

    When is the new imac coming out?

    I heard that it is this Friday (21.5 ")  But who knows for sure.  I am really dying to see it and see if it is truly 75% less reflective.  The only reason I don't have a mac is because of the reflective/mirror screens. I just cannot work on them. I am praying that the claim of 75% reflective is very obvious.

  • I have an iMac with a Magic Mouse, if I want to upgrade my iMac to the OS X Lion, will I have to buy a Magic Trackpad?

    I have an iMac with a Magic Mouse, if I want to upgrade my iMac to the OS X Lion, will I have to buy a Magic Trackpad?

    Expanding on what Barry said, Lion includes features specifically for trackpads, but it's by no means necessary to have one. A Magic Mouse will work just fine (as will any other mouse or trackball).
    Regards.

  • Magic mouse not working when my computer wakes up from sleep mode sometimes

    This does not happen all the time but it is starting to happen more and more. When my iMac is asleep and I wake it up the mouse is non responsive. I have looked at the green indicator light on the magic mouse and it does not respond as well. I have turned the mouse off then back on and that does nothing. I thank this may be a Bluetooth problem because I have tried this with 2 magic mice. The only way I can get it to work is to restart the computer.
    Please advise??

    I would add the mouse to bluetooth favorites in System Preferences > bluetooth > Highlight mouse on the left > click gear icon below this list > click "show more info" if not already checked > click the gear icon again and "add to favorites".

    If that doesn't do it then a SMC reset might be in order:

  • How do I get my mouse to zoom when scrolling?

    I've set my mouse to zoom while scrolling in preferences but it doesn't work. Any fixes?

    Hi Mike
    Bit of a verbose answer but I have included a lot of useful information for you which as a newcommer to Macs you will find useful. Make a note of the webpages as you may need to refer to them in the future.
    To find any downloads normally if you look at the top of this screen you will see "Downloads" click on that and you will see all those available - but make sure you get the right ones for the Intel. If you click on the description it will take you to an information page for that particular download where you can also download the update.
    The Combo update is a complete overwrite of the system files if you want more details use the HELP in FINDER and enter "update" at the bottom of the page is a section called Support Articles look at the one called
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (combo)
    When you use Software Update it updates using the Delta version i:e updates just the files changed from the previous release currently on your machine 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 etc. that is why you need to check again after Software Update completes to ensure you get a complete update with the latest apps etc
    Using the Combo ensures all files for the OS are updated and can therefore clear out little wrinkles that can appear from time to time as the machine is used
    Not all Firmware is updated by Software Update which is why you sometimes get a message saying you need a firmware update even though you have just used Software Update. They need to be checked separately see
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880 Intel Macs
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 older Macs and which do not support OS 10.3 or 10.4
    Before doing any updates to any machine there are steps everyone should take and MHunter has done an excellent job in preparing this post
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=668278&tstart=15
    If you are using Safari - open Preferences and in "General"
    "Save downloaded files to:" "Desktop"
    Uncheck "Open safe files after downloading"
    Close preferences
    When download finishes open the image (double click) and follow the instructions it will install the system files.
    Just leave it to do its job

  • Magic mouse right click and scroll

    Hi. Ive recently just started having some problems with my magic mouse. The cursor and single click works fine, but all of a sudden the right click, as well as the scrolling has completely stopped working. When I try to right click, it acts just like the mouse is set to have only a single click, and the scroll just doesn't work at all.
    Ive checked the mouse settings, and scroll as well as right click were both still selected. Ive also made sure to run the software update so everything is up to date.
    thanks!

    Hello, kgorringe,
    For the circumstances you describe, this link to the Apple knowledge base should help you.   Go through it paragraph by paragraph as some aspects intrude on others.

  • Magic mouse that won't scroll

    Hi, I have got a new magic mouse but it does not scroll, the scrolling feature does not show in mouse preferences, it only shows tracking speed and double-click speed. In Bluetooth preferences it says the mouse is connected and paired, but in Keyboard & Mouse Bluetooth preferences the keyboard name is there and it shows the battery level, but shows no name or battery level for the mouse.  Please can anyone help? Thank you. x

    If you're on 10.5.8 as your profile indicates then you need this update for Magic Mouse support.

  • Magic Mouse has no kinetic scrolling!

    I just got my magic mouse in the mail, eagerly paired it with my late 2008 MacBook Pro 15-inch, and installed mouse update 1.0, but when I started trying out the multi-touch features, they didn't work like the ones in the store. The scrolling works, but it isn't kinetic, it has no momentum and stops immediately if you take your finger off the mouse. I looked extensively in settings to try and find a checkbox for scroll momentum, but there is none! Please help tell me if the mouse is broken or if it is software. Thanks!

    I figured it out! It's cause leopard doesn't have kinetic/momentum scroll, only snow leopard. BUT there is hope, if you type this into terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseMomentumScroll -bool yes
    that will enable momentum in leopard
