Magic Mouse wont close program or window when I left click.

Hi,
so I bought me a new set up iMac i7 with among others the magic mouse 3 months ago.
Not everytime but quite frequently when I try to close a program or any kind of window, by left click the red button on top left corner, it wont work, nothing happens.
Then I have to click somewhere outside that area and then go back to the red close button and it works.
This is also present sometimes when I want to close a tab in safari by the tab cross-button.
Anyone who has an idea of what the problem might be?
At a first glance I thought it was a software bug, since it work when I click outside the red close button and then go back and it works.
When it stops working it doesnt matter how many times I try, it just wont do until I click once outside the area.
I also have a track pad but it works flawless!
Thanks in advance for any hint into right direction!
regards - Peter

  • 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.

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

    Lasso tool (Why do I get a triple image of the tool when I left click mouse?)

    Crystal ball time...
    If it's the cursor you're talking about In Windows, try this:
    Right-click the desktop.
    Choose Personalize.
    Click the Display link.
    Change to a slightly different size.  For example, if you're at 150%, try using the Custom sizing options link and setting to 149% or 151%
    If you're seeing what Trevor is showing, without a delay, it's possible your left and right mouse buttons are swapped.

  • Before I upgraded to 8.0 I could double click and see all open Apps and then close them. Now when I double click I am not sure what I am seeing or what to do?

    The format keeps changing but the basics remain...in the center of the screen are large images of the recent apps which you can close by swiping up and away.

  • Finder Opens When I Left Click Any Dock Application

    When I wake my system up from Sleep, I have a problem that occurs intermittently. When I left click any icon on the dock, ie. Mail, Finder opens and the Mail application is highlighted. Mail does not open. If I double-click on the application in Finder at that point, the application opens just fine. Has anyone else had this problem?
    By the way, I have updated to Tiger 10.4.7, but the problem has occured prior to the update.

    Yes, I had the same problem and also it was an intermittent problem. I was having trouble with Safari and Mail which I used most often. Sometimes after a while it wouldn't give me the problem but usually I would restart and it would work, but later after my computer was asleep it would give me the problem again. I was even having problems with Safari opening windows in a new tab and not the same window even though it was set to open in the same window.
    Solution: Drag the preferences 'plist' for the 'finder', 'dock', and 'desktop' to the desktop and restart. You will have to reset your preferences, but the only one that took any time was the 'dock', because I have a lot of apps there. You might even want to try one at a time to see which one might be the corrupt list. /users/your name/Library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist/
    Hope this helps you, I don't think anything is wrong with your mouse or your mouse button settings.
    Really like Edmonton also.

  • When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

    I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
    I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

    If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab.<br />
    You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

  • In panorama, when I left click and drag to open a new tab group, unclicking doesn't create the new group and left clicking again only creates another group without finalizing the first one.

    In Firefox 4.0 beta 11 (Windows 7 Professional) left clicking in panorama creats a new tab group but letting go doesn't finalise the group. I have XP mode on my computer and firefox b11 works fine in the virtual PC.
    Edit:
    This has continued into Firefox 4 RC2

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5?

    How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

    LOL,  I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
    The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge.  The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'.  The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
    Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.

  • Magic mouse no longer working in Windows 7

    Hi, I posted a topic under the Windows section but got no answer. When I first installed Windows 7 on my Mac (Sorry poor Mac but I had to), my Magic Mouse worked seamlessly with Windows until recently, I booted up in Se7en and my mouse no longer worked, I can't find any trace of bluetooth peripherals on the computer, in "Administration tools" and "Hardware manager" (or whatever it's called) I can't see a sign of my Broadcom Bluetooth adaptor. The bluetooth drivers are installed and I can see that in "Add or remove programs" so I don't know how to fix this. I already tried reinstalling the drivers from the boot camp DVD, and I also uninstalled Boot Camp, reinstalled it and updated it. Nothing works. If you have any ideas apart reinstalling Windows I would really appreciate because using my trackpad on a desk while having a Magic Mouse on the side (especially in Windows the trackpad *****) is driving me nuts. Thanks

    Hi eg1978
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues with your two finger scrolling. I have a couple of things for you to try. This HP document Using and Configuring the TouchPad has a section on Turning individual gestures off and on and make sure that the two finger scrolling is enabled. If that does work then reinstall your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

  • Magic mouse wont track

    magic mouse will connect and click and scroll functions work but wont track. The senses are clean and the batteries are showing at 93%?
    It seems to have started when I tried to use it on a black glass table.
    Any ideas?

    Try using it on a mouse pad or a plain piece of white paper.

  • Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

    Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
    I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
    Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
    Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
    Thanks to everyone will help e!

    I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

  • Magic Mouse will not scroll in Windows 7 boot camp, but works fine in Mac OS

    I have a Magic Mouse that was working fine it would scroll and everything, then one day it just randomly stopped working in my Windows 7 bootcamp partiontion. I went to the Mac OS to see if there was anything wrong with the mouse, but it works fine in the Mac OS. I already made sure to install all available software updates but that doesnt seem to have helped. Any help would be appreciated.
