Magic mouse zoom with ctrl

Good day,
I am new with mac and I am trying to use the zoom with the magic mouse and the ctrl button, really not easy...
on excel/word: alt + cmd + scrolling up & down executes zooming in and out of the excel table (only).
but on the picture viewer/safari: ctrl + scrolling up & down executes zooming in and out of the complete screen (and not only the picture) without possibility to move the view (and this is possible only if the option is selected in preferences/accessibility/zoom: allow zoom with scrolling and selected button).
Would someone know how to activate the zooming with ctrl and mouse scrolling but only of the content of a window and not of the complete screen?
Thank you in advance.
Rodolphe

Hello:
According to the guidance in system preferences>mouse double tapping with one finger does it. I just tried it and it works here.
I also note the right clicking opens a menu.

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

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.

Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse. Not sure why.
I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

HT4111 does the magic mouse pair with an ipad?

Does the magic mouse work with an ipad?

bburik, I do not think so. Ipad is all touch screen, and the pointer will not show up on the ipad. The ipad is made to only be touch screen. But what you can do, is buy an external keyboard for the ipad, and then you can at least type with an actuall keyboard. But no magic mouse.

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.

Magic Mouse Zoom

Having trouble zooming with Magic Mouse. Working within an application like Sketchup, I used to be able to zoom in and out continuously using the scroll wheel on a conventional mouse. But with the new Magic Mouse, no similar function seems to exist. Screen zooms and two finger taps to move in and out just don't cut it. Any advice?

If your preference screen has changed then it's probably a conflict with a 3rd party driver. USBoverdrive is one that causes this. Your prefpane should look like this. The control Scroll zoom is controlled the the Accessibility prefpane.

Mac mini & magic mouse zoom

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the magic mouse to zoom the screen in/out solely by by using a finger gesture?
Currently I have to hold the control key on the keyboard and then single finger swipe up on the magic mouse to zoom in and down to zoom out. I'd rather set the mouse to perform the function that's useful to me, as in this case I have the mac mini set up with my living room TV. It's a 52" Toshiba HD and looks amazing but it's 12' away and I have a frequent need to zoom and I'd like to do it by using the mouse only and not have to also use the keyboard.
Thanks in advance to all you Mac geniuses...

Try something like MagicPrefs (http://magicprefs.com/) or Better Touch Tool (http://boastr.net/)
Both are very customizable and there seems to be lots of debate as to which is better.

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

Why does only my magic mouse work with 10.6.8 update?!!!

Hi. Ever since updating my software to 10.6.8, the ONLY mouse I can use is the Magic Mouse - ANYTHING ELSE I try and use, wireless or not, will cause my computer to crash. I get asked to turn it off and back on. As soon as I try another mouse, I get a black curtain go down my screen and the message comes up. I have been getting these Kernal Panic things also when I start up with another mouse connected. I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! And now I am being forced to use it. Is Apple serious about this? It's ridiculous. I can't work properly with this mouse. HELP!!!!! Is there going to be any fix?

If your HP is networked and using Bonjour as a protocol, then the 10.6.8 update made some changes to the core backend services such as Bonjour and this could be causing the error. With the job in error in the print queue, you can highlight the job (click once to select it) and then press the Job Info button (the blue circle with the white I inside). Doing this will give more information about the problem. You can post that information back here so we can advise what steps to take next.
If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB then you may just need to remove the existing print queue, by opening Print & Fax and selecting the HP and then pressing the minus button. With the queue removed you can then click the plus button to add the queue again, selecting the HP in the Default Add Printer view.

Magic mouse zoom quit working

My magic mouse won't zoom all of a sudden, even in Safari...any clues?

Yes, I have had this problem ever since I upgraded to Yosemite. Resetting the PRAM does not work. I repeat, resetting the PRAM does not work. That is the only answer I have been given too. Apple needs to get a patch quick. This is an operating system issue!!!
