Hello there Curtis,
Your Magic Mouse can zoom in on the screen with this command:
Screen zoom
Hold down the Control key on your keyboard and scroll with one finger on Magic Mouse to enlarge items on your screen.

Take care,
Sterling

  • Magic mouse doesn't allow me to zoom in and out, just scroll

    just purchased imac and magic mouse, read allow instructions and how to use and have everything correct in settings but doesnt let me zoom in and out. tried holding control down and still nothing ?

    Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.
    In the Zoom section, click the Options button (note - Zoom itself does not need to be turned on). In the new screen, make sure the last item, "Use scroll wheel with modifier key..." is checkmarked, and that Control is the chosen modifier key (the character entry box on that line should be showing a single upward-pointing carat, which is the symbol for the Control key).

  • TS2662 why is my magic mouse suddenly doing things i don't want it to do? zooming in and out without even touching it? stopped scrolling & swiping and when clicking brings up a sub menu?

    hi hope somebody can help me before i launch this thing at the wall!!! i have had no problems with my imac before but all of a sudden my mouse has taken on a life of its own.
    its zooming in and out side to side all over the place when i'm not even touching it. yet when i want it to zoom in and out now it dosnt even acknowledge my tapping and swiping. (its actually zooming in and out as i'm writing this!!!!!
    when i click on anything instead of doing what i want it do do it brings up a sub menu?
    i have a feeling when my baby smacked the keyboard, it may have something to do with it but i have since gone into the mouse settings and made sure all the boxes are ticked etc.. has he broken my mac? :/

  • Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore

    Hey there,
    I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
    Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.

    Hi bsruff,
    If you are having issues with your Magic Mouse in Windows 7 via Boot Camp after upgrading to Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Magic mouse won't scroll on snow leopard

    I bought an imac two weeks ago (snow leopard)- and my magic mouse won't scroll! I do not seem to have the USB overdrive installed, I have all the latest software! Help!

    The ball is dirty, they have a history of accumulating dirt and grime on them so that's my best guess. When I used one what worked well was rolling the ball very very vigorously on a white sheet of paper on a hard flat surface. Do this for about 60 seconds then see if that took care of it.
    NOTE: My error I misread and thought you wrote Mighty Mouse. Please disregard.

  • Suddenly my magic mouse won't track properly, can anyone help?

    Suddenly my magic mouse won't track around the screen properly, can anyone help? It was working fine then it started sticking. It scrolls from top to bottom fine just the on screen movement is effected. The battery is showing 100%, I've changed the fast/slow slider all the way to the right which has helped a little and unpaired it from bluetooth then re-paired it, did an SMC shut-down, cleaned ball, battery points but it still does not feel totally right? Am I missing something?

    hi, i had the same problem.
    i just put my mac into sleepmode
    apple logo left corner --> first option above restart
    then i connected my magic mouse ( holding the button)
    and then it worked
    i hope it is working for you too

  • My screen zooms in and out even when my hands are not on the mouse

    How can I stop my screen from zooming in and out WITHOUT my hand touching the mouse or keyboard? When this happes, I cannot click on anything without an irrevelent box coming up.

    You're in the wrong forum.  This is for iCloud.  Try the forum for Lion or for iMac.

  • Why wont Illustrator CC let me use Alt + Scroll on my mouse to zoom in and out smoothly?

    When i use Illustrator CS6 i am able to zoom in and out smothly by pressing my option key on my Mac and then scroll with my mouse. It wont let me do that in Illustrator CC, why not? Also i should not that this zoom does not use the zoom tool on the left hand tool bar.
    Thank you for any help.

    Did Option+mouse scroll ever zoom smoothly? (Wish it did.)
    For me it zooms in hops: 50, 66.67, 100, 150, 200 etc. same as when you click with the zoom tool.
    You can of course enter exact zoom %s at the bottom left of the Illie window but that’s not smooth either.

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

  • The mouse moves on its own and the screen freezes and zooms in and out.

    About 2 months ago I bought a new macbook pro and over the last couple of days it has produced all these problems!
    The screen jolts and freezes and only has gradual movement and zooms in and out on a page and the mouse also freezes and moves on its own.  This usually happens when I am on the internet.
    Its happened twice now where it works perfectly fine and then all of a sudden it happens.
    Has anyone else had this before? Is it a virus?
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

  • Does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?

    does anyone know why a magic mouse won't scroll in calendar in mavericks?
    It will scroll in a window that has an indicator scroll bar on the right side but not in the new seamless calendar view. The built in trackpad on my mid 2012 macbook pro will scroll.

    or uninstall those mpkgs
    Yes.
