Mighty Mouse - slow left/right scrolling

Does anybody else find the left/right scrolling to be slow compared to the up/down scrolling? It would be nice to be able to adjust the speed on both axis.

Seems to work fine now. Must have been a software update somewhere along the way.

Apple Magic Mouse--right click not working, left-right scroll not working

Brand new out of the box, right click does not work and neither do the left-right swipe. Is it likely I have a faulty mouse, or is there a software update or setting I have failed to find? Running 10.6.4 on brand new MacBook Air. Experts--help please

I have the same issue. My magic mouse is only about a year old and i honestly don't use it that often... it seems to me the right click is not "connecting" well as i have to click several times or very hard to get it to make a clicking sound. not sure if its stiff or broken or not.
Overall I'm pretty frustrated as this thing was EXPENSIVE.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse Problems - NO RIGHT CLICK.

i tried dozens of times... i can't use the right click. it acts as a primary button even though i set it to secondary...
is there another way of setting it so that it is secondary that i didn't do so that it would cause such a phenomenon?
I NEED HELP. please.

Alex,
Do a search of this forum for "mighty mouse right button" or "mighty mouse secondary button." There are a number of problems it may be. The first thing to be sure is that you aren't touching the left button at all while you try to right click. The MM works via sensing whether a finger is on the right or left side of the mouse, and if you are touching the left button even slightly it will register as a primary click rather than a secondary.
Second, there are also issues that have been reported with the BT MM losing the ability to sense that primary / secondary difference after some period of time. Replacing the mouse (sometimes needing to go through a few replacements) does seem to eventually fix that.
If it doesn't seem to be an issue with contact on the sensor, I'd suggest returning the mouse and requesting a new one.

Mighty Mouse (wireless) will only scroll up & not down

Has anyone come across an issue like this, I think it is hardware, but thought I would ask around first?
I tried using our 2nd wireless mighty mouse that is paired with the iMac and that worked correctly (scroll both up and down) when paired with my MacBook Pro. However, when I re-paired the mouse in question, it still only scrolls up.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Mighty Mouse slow when computer busy

In January I bought a MacBook Pro to replace a Macbook and am using the same mighty mouse that I used with the macbook. I sometimes copy large files from my server to my macbook or the other way around. While the copy function is going on my mighty mouse lags badly so that it's almost not useable. As soon as the copy is finished it goes back to normal speed again. Same thing happens when I'm downloading something from the net. I'm also using a wireless keyboard with and a Samsung Syncmaster monitor. It did not behave this way with my macbook.
I've deleted the mouse and reinstalled it.
I've made the mouse a favorite
Any other suggestions?

Hello! The "low power" message means one of the usb devices was drawing too much power and the Mac "tripped out" the usb port. Some G5's have the pmu/smu button as shown HERE while later models do not. To reset the button type press the button once (sometimes you have to have all external cables unhooked) and for one that doesn't unplug all ext cables and let it sit for 30 min. or so to reset the pmu. I'd also repair permissions in disk utility once rebooted.Here's additional info on it. Tom

Mighty Mouse Slow after the updates of firmware 2.0.1 of bluetooth

Hello, yesterday update the Macbook Pro 17 Unibody (Mid 2009) and I suspect that the update of firmware bluetooth for Broadcom has achieved that my mighty mouse BT goes fatally, the keyboard goes of marvel, but I have tried with 2 Mighty Mouse and they work slowly and badly, also update these things yesterday, for if someone knows that it can have provoked it, and since it fixes up

Is it possible to switch the left-right scrolling behavior in Prelude?

On my Apple magic mouse I can scroll left and right with the flick of a finger for items that are too wide to fit on the screen, such as the list of columns in the Project pane. The behavior in Prelude is to move opposite to the finger flick - in other words if I flick my finger to the right, it will move the columns to the right as the scroll bar at the bottom moves to the left. This is the opposite behavior of Premiere in the same Project panel. In Premiere, if you flick to the right, it's as if you are flicking the scroll bar. When working with both programs at the same time, it's hard to get used to the inconsistent behavior. I can change my mouse settings to switch the direction, but I cannot make Prelude and Premiere match directions.

Hi Wes, did it really change with the update?
My Premiere and Prelude panel scrolling behavior still differ.
In Premiere, when I scroll to the right on my trackpad, I move forward in time.
In Prelude it's reversed.
How to set it? Can't find an option in the Preferences.

Left right scrolling

How does one scroll left to right or vise versa with out going forwards or backwards to web pages?

You can try this:
- In Firefox type "about:config" in the adress field and hit Enter
- look for the line "mouse.horizscroll.withnokey.action user set integer 2"
- double click on the "2" and enter "1" instead.
Now horizontal scrolling should work (although it might scroll the other way round - don't worry, you'll get used to it).
Good luck,
Alexander.
(I found this trick in MacLife 11/2005, a German Mac magazine.)

Activing Mighty Mouse "Zoom using" and "Scrolling options" prefs

According to:
http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/software.html
there should be "Zoom using scroll ball... " and "Scrolling options" popups in Mouse preferences, but I only see:
I'm running 10.4.7 and ran the Mouse software installer. How do I get these additional options to appear?
PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 7200rpm 100 GB HD, 2 GB RAM

The 10.4.8 update adds the scroll-wheel zooming
feature for all mice.
Really? It hadn't done so on my Mac. I ran the usual privileges, etc., routines beforehand. I can't even recall it being mentioned in the release notes or their detailed specs. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
Anway, 10.4.8 didn't affect a change to the keyboard/mouse pref on my PPC so I used Pacifist to get at the additional MM features.

When I open enough tabs to get the left/right scroll buttons to appear, my entire tabs bar flickers

I finally just upgraded from FF28 this week and am having a very weird problem with the tabs bar. I am attaching a 2-second video because a still screenshot does not capture the issue. Not only is the flashing/flickering uncomfortable visually, but it makes it nearly impossible to click the x to close a tab (I have to right-click and select Close Tab instead).
edit: can't attach a video; uploaded it here:

I'm sorry for this issue. hopefully it is fixed with an upcoming update. I looked at your crash report and one issue that could be causing this is out of date drivers.
" Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 10.6 or newer." This error was given many times. Also, as XP gets older, without being supported, it gets harder to make programs (i.e. Firefox) as good as possible while working on older systems.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

Mighty mouse and right click???

I have a mighty mouse and the right is set to a primary button however it doesn't function like a right click. i still have to press control to get the right click functionality?? HELP!!

What is strange about my mighty mouse which also experiences similar issues is that you have to be careful where you are pushing it. My right tbutton is set as a control click but if I don't push it in the very upper right hand of the mighty mouse it behaves as a single click. The left hand button, as such, does not seem to be as sensitive to placement as the right hand one. For a long while I could not get it to work at all, until I figured out where I actually had to strike it.
I had never used a mighty mouse until I purchased a new iMac a couple of weeks ago and just figured it was "operator difficulty" as I am far more used to a trackball than a mouse. I may still go back to one if I can't get used to this mouse. I think you really have to put your whole hand over the mouse to make it function properly and I tend not to do that.
Does this help you with your issue? I am not sure, maybe there is some sort of difference in the way the mighty mouse works with new hardware?
Good Luck! Wish I had more to offer other than trying carefully to position your handin difernt places and see if that helps.

Mighty Mouse Stops Scrolling

I have a Mighty Mouse which suddenly stops scrolling up (and sometimes down). It works great some of the time.
Anyone else have this problem? Nothing similar popped up when I searched.

Have a look under 'More like this' to the right on this page!
It probably needs a clean:

Mighty Mouse Scrolling *after* 10.4.6 update

I updated to 10.4.6 in between repairing permissions
(I do like how repairing permissions no longer displays
already repaired permissions). I've noticed that I can
no longer scroll down with my Mighty Mouse. I can
scroll up and sideways though. Has anyone else
noticed this behaviour?
Thanks

Awwww sorry to have made u waste your previous time, but this is a DISCUSSION board and I was discussiing, also apple read these, and the more mention of a faulty mouse and that its a possible design flaw might get them to re-evaluate their design. I learnt in this discussion board before about apple's design flaw with their black optical mouse.

Mighty Mouse scroll ball problems

I wondered if anyone could help me with a scrolling issue with the mighty mouse. Some days scrolling works vertically up and down and other times just one direction. I dont believe it is due to dirt in the mouse - it seems software related and is sporadic in its operation. Any advise you could give would be welcome
Thanks
Nick

DP, that is what worked best for me in the past.
After months of problems with the scrolling ball, and after trying all the suggestions found on the web, this method of using a white sheet of paper was an excellent one: my MM was again clean and working as if it was new!
However, be careful about it: don't push too much when running the MM upside down. Eventually, yes, the gunk will come out, but the ball would go down-inside the case if pressed too hard for too long. It happened to me when using this method for a second time, and I was in the need to disassemble the device in order to correct this, and I think that's exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place.
Hope it helps.
