My Magic Mouse won't double click

I cannot double click with my new magic mouse (or older wired logitech mouse) to open anything, whether it be in finder, the desktop, iTunes etc...
I'm sure that it isn't the fault of the iMac as there has been no update or change of settings.

A reset sometimes helps and it cannot hurt anything.

Mouse won't double click

I recently upgraded to CS6. Ever since, my mouse has lost it's ability to double-click. Anyone have a clue? I have not changed my mouse settings. I also unplugged the mouse and tried my bluetooth mouse. No change. All the mice won't double-click.

Read on another forum that slowing down the mouse click speed may help. Set the speed even lower than the default AND IT WORKED! Yea!

Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

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.

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.

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

Magic Mouse won't reconnect after Lion upgrade

Okay, I'll lay this out as quickly and consisely as possible.
I've searched every post and site I can find and tried everything suggested, and still no luck.
I have Mac Pro with an external bluetooth dongle, Magic Mouse, and I have just upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion.
My Magic Mouse has always reconnected flawlessly to my machine after booting or waking, but after upgrading to Lion, it refuses to re-pair after booting or waking. In bluetooth preferences, I can see in the Devices pane that "Steven's Mouse" is disconnected, but every couple of seconds this will flash green and show "Connected" - but only for a half second - and then it's back to "Not Connected".
I've set BT setup assistant to open on startup, and only when I have manually deleted and re-paired my Magic Mouse using the keyboard does the Magic Mouse connect.
Then sleep and wake and I'm back to square one.
I have:
Restarted after trashing every bluetooth .plist file (~/Library/Preferences and also HD/Library/Preferences) - and bluetooth drivers
Sone several SMC Resets
Zapped my PRAM
Made my mouse a 'Favorite'
Deleted and re-paired it more times than I can count
Turned the mouse on and off
Clicked it
Double-clicked it
Kept clicking it
Turned it on and off
Triple-checked the batteries
Tested my mouse with another machine running SL
Tested another mouse with my machine
- All with no luck whatsoever. I'm about down to writing a suicide note or something!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Steven
(BTW I'm 100% sure the issue is within the Lion system somewhere - not my hardware.

Hi, I had the same problem but it's fixed now. It seems that the order you turn mouse and bluetooth off and on makes the difference. This is what worked on my macbook pro (eventually!):
turn off bluetooth and mouse. Turn on bluetooth. Open system preferences. Open mouse. It starts searching. then Turn on mouse. Hey presto! (and much to my surprise) it found it.
It also worked if I left the mouse on, and turned it off and on after opening the mouse in system preferences and it had started searching. But if, for example, I turned on the mouse before opening system preferences,it was no go.
There is another issue: I (like I suspect a lot of people) switch between lion and snow leopard (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini respectively), and every time it has to be paired manually. I have found I have to use the entire process shown above with both OSs.
Also, the mouse has to be paired to Lion at every startup. I never have to re-pair the mouse with Snow leopard on startup (unless it's been paired to Lion in the meantime!).
I hope that some of this might help someone, even just a little.

Wireless magic mouse won't scroll -

I just purchased the wireless magic mouse. It won't scroll. I have gone to system preferences and don't see where I can set this up. I can move pages by clicking and dragging but that isn't why I purchased this mouse. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place OR should not have disconnected my ubs mouse before going through a process?? Or maybe it isn't compatible with my tiger system?? Anybody know?
Thanks!

Okay - I have figured this out. The Magic Mouse - DOES NOT WORK - with tiger. Oh, it works but just as an ordinary mouse - click and drag.

Magic Mouse won't scroll or swipe in email window, but works perfectly in Safari window.

My Magic Mouse suddenly won't scroll or swipe in the email window, top or bottom part of the window, but behaves normally in the Safari window. Replaced the Mouse batteries, 100% power, no difference. iMac is 2008, pretty old, but was updated to 10.10.3 a month ago. Bluetooth icon in upper right part of screen indicates Bluetooth is ON, and the Mouse is connected, as evidenced by proper operation in Safari. No recent upgrades/changes to email that I'm aware of.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I set up the new iMac with a time machine back up from a much older iMac, has this caused the problem? iCloud drive works perfectly on my macbook pro. Thanks for any advice.
Then check, which MacOS X version your new Mac is running. To be able to use iCloud Drive, the system needs to be Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10.x
To check the system version, click the -menu un the upper left corner of the Display and use the command -About this Mac.
If you are running an earlier system, use upgrade to Yosemite from the App Store.
