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.

  • Magic mouse zoom (swipe   ctrl) does not work after mountain lion upgrade

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Turning off CMD + SCROLL zooming with Apple Magic Mouse?

    Scrolling with Apple's Magic Mouse is extremely sensitive in Fireworks, so sometimes when I use a keyboard shortcut that involves the command key and I accidentally leave it pressed for just a split second after I perform the shortcut and I scroll at the same time, Fireworks will recognize the held-down key as wanting to "scroll'n zoom" and will quickly zoom in way too far/far out, sometimes causing the program to hang for freeze. Has anyone else experienced this and would be able to explain it better? It happens way too much for me. :/

    Hi
    Same probem is here, suddenly pointer stopped to be active and no tracking at all. All buttons, gestures etc are performing well.
    - paired / unpaired > no result
    - replaced batteries > no result
    - cleaned contacts inside mouse > no result
    - cleaned laser > no result
    Light is blinking only a few after mouse is connected, and completely stops to blink, while mouse buttons are working.
    Tried to find solution on web, does not help much.
    Any solution?
    Thanks

  • Google Maps zooms with Apple magic mouse

    Ever since I bought the Apple magic mouse, I've noticed that whenever I use Google Maps via my desktop Apple, the map will zoom without me telling it to in street view.  This is INCREDIBLY annoying when trying to view a street or move across the map.  Anyway one else encounter this issue?  Anyone have a solution?

    Hey Dogs 'n Front- I have the same problem- I've had a Magic Mouse for years and never had the zoom problem with Google maps up until maybe a year ago?It's actually a fairly common problem that even CNET had an article about it a few years ago- sadly the problem still exists. I have a MacBook Air as well and have no problem with the trackpad scroll zoom and Google Maps, seems the Magic Mouse is just too sensitive...

  • Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

    Hi
    In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default. 
    How can i change this behaviour?

    I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.
    I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.
    I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.
    If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.
    In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

  • Enabling Safari Pinch and Zoom in Magic Mouse

    I really like the safari pinch and zoom feature with magic trackpad.  It is very useful especially with my 27" iMac.  However, I find this featured disabled with my magic mouse.  Is there any way to enable the pinch and zoom feature in magic mouse?

    Try this from what I have read it is more advanced and polished than BetterTouchTool. Works well for me.

  • Zoom in in Preview Mode using a Magic Mouse?

    I am used to using a track-pad where I can easily zoom in on a document while in Preview Mode using ALT+Scrolling.
    Now I'm using the Magic Mouse and can't find a way to zoom in in Preview mode. ALT+Scrolling doesn’t work. Any ideas?

    The mouse settings might override the ALT key (on a Mac?) assignment of Indesign. Check the extended mouse settings.

  • 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).

  • Accidental zoom using Magic Mouse

    Sometimes when I'm using the Magic Mouse while in Safari, I unintentionally zoom in on the page. I haven't been able to figure out the gesture I'm doing to cause it. Command- will not zoom the page back out correctly; sometimes going back and then forward again will restore the page to the right size, but this doesn't always work, so then I am forced to close the tab and start over again, losing my progress. Has anyone else had this same issue, or know what gesture causes this? How do I restore the page to the original size without leaving it I need a solution, as I otherwise love this mouse and don't want to turn off gestures. Thanks.
    Late 2011 MacBook Pro. OS X Mavericks

    I turned off using the Control key in Accessibility to see if that helps accidental zooming. Thanks for the tip. I'll see how well I do with that.

  • Turn off magic mouse scroll zoom

    Whenever I'm in Illustrator and am holding down Shift Option Command the slightest scroll on the mouse makes everything zoom all over the place. How do I turn this off? I found an old thread on this  and the Adobe guy said it's Apple's fault and I should buy a new mouse. No. That's not the answer.

    The ineffectiveness of the Magic Mouse preference settings in OSX as regards scrolling is most definitely Apple's fault. Here is what you need to know:
    
About The Problem:

    Apple is not going to fix this problem. It's been an issue dating back nearly a decade and continues still. It is either beyond the scope of Apple's programming intelligence, or they simply don't care about you and your problems. Apple's programming intelligence pretty much speaking for itself, the only option left is that Apple doesn't care. It's one of the perks of the modern day tech business paradigm, where companies like Apple have so many millions of customers and so much momentum behind their market share, they don't have to care about you, the single, obscure nobody, with your Apple computer you've already paid for. Apple also being a die-hard fan-based enterprise, it knows full well that for every one of us who might have a problem such as this, there are at least a hundred thousand others who would put up with just about anything just to be associated with the logo of an apple with a bite taken out.
    
The Fix:

    Fortunately there is a brilliant, enterprising soul (or group of souls) behind the development of an app called MagicPrefs which more than compensates for Apple's indifference to this & other related problems. It not only addresses the inability to turn off the ever-annoying scroll action that happens anytime our fingers brush across the case of the mouse, it offers myriad other functions you might like.
    
You owe it to yourself to check out MagicPrefs, and thank the developers for giving us a means to rise above this bit of Apple stupidity.
