New wireless Touch Magic Mouse issues

OK so I just my BRAND NEW wireless magic mouse from mac only to find out it does NOT work with my unibody macbook pro!!
I read where I need Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 or Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I have version 10.6 on my laptop now but there are NO software updates available. I can use the basic features of any wireless mouse which are to track and click but no touch features work at this time.
Is there a fix for this now or do I have to wait until Apple make the update available for download?

I believe this is the update you need:

  • Magic Mouse issues after updating to iTunes 11

    Hi,
    Just updated to iTunes 11, and immediately after installing I have been losing Bluetooth connection to my Magic Mouse.  This usually happens when I click on an icon in my dock to launch an App.  Specifically, most often when I am launching iTunes.  I've ruled out a battery issue, as I've replaced them and it doesn't make a difference.  I've even cleared my PRAM at startup (CMD+OPT+P+R at startup), since I saw this suggested for similar Magic Mouse issues not related to iTunes. Resetting the ram made no difference in my case.
    I've had the Magic Mouse for 2+ years, and this has never been an issue before.  In fact, I've never had any connection issues with the mouse that weren't related to weak batteries, and everything was working great until I installed iTunes 11.  Just wondering if others have had this issue since upgrading to iTunes 11, and if so, how it was corrected?
    Thanks.

    Hi, I've not had this issue, but iTunes 11 does seem to be doing something to my Magic Mouse. For example within iTunes 11 I can no longer swipe forwards and backwards. Not sure if there is some kind of hitch with the new iTunes software and the Magic Mouse firmware?

  • Lion gestures with Multi-Touch Magic Mouse

    Is there a resource that specifies the gestures available for the following devices:
    multi-touch Magic Mouse
    Magic Trackpad
    MacBook Trackpad
    They appear to be different, certainly not consistent with the demo video, and the marketing statements are misleading.

    Nevermind. A lttile digging and find out that the Magic Mouse has a limited set of multi-touch capabilities:

    It appears the Magic Trackpad has the full set of capabilities:

  • Apple Wireless keyboard/Magic Mouse battery levels differ

    I have an iMac 27" that my Wireless keyboard came with and a 15" 2.2ghz i7 Quad and go between using both the keyboard and magic mouse with both of the machines.
    However on the iMac the new keyboard shows 40% while the MBP shows 67%
    the mouse is the same.
    Magic Mouse on iMac is 87% and the MBP 100%
    a few weeks ago before i picked up the rechargable battery kit from Apple, i had duracell batteries in the magic mouse and it said 100% for weeks straight which never made sense then randomly said there was 6% left and prompted to replace the batteries.
    is this a hardware issue with the MBP bluetooth or just some glitch in software?
    the iMac is 27" fresh out of the box 10.6.4 while MBP was updated using the 10.6.7 for MBP update.
    thanks,

    Hi Frank:
    The battery reading anomaly is a known problem (began with OS X 10.6.7) and has been reported to Apple through channels.  As an aside, I use the mighty monitor widget which seems to give correct readings.

  • Mac Pro Magic Mouse issue 2013

    I'm starting this thread to try to get some current information on what seems to be a long time problem. My church media dept upgraded to a Mac Pro from a 2006 G5 two weeks ago and out of the box the magic mouse is jumpy, lags and disconnects. I thought the mouse was an issue so I brought a blue tooth mighty mouse from home to get by. It acted the same way. The only conclusion could be the bluetooth function of the Mac Pro.
    I did my homework and found evidence of this problem all the way back to 2009. Gotta say I'm disappointed in Apple to have an issue unresolved this long. I'm quite the mac evangelist and this is hard to defend. I have read all kinds of solutions from rewiring the antenaes, installing external antenaes, USB plugins, etc. Most of these solutions are quite dated so I was wondering what the 2013 fix is for this issue. Preferably without having to buy something else after spending 3500 dollars on a machine that should just work!
    I have a magic mouse at home on a mini and we have a mini at the church that we bought at the same time as the Mac Pro and the magic mouse works on that. So clearly this is isolated to the Mac Pro.

    yep-you're right. However, Apple does NOT read this community forum, Ever. So, posting complaints about Apple here will do you no good. That being said.... there is no
    "2013" solution, as the Mac Pro may not be Apple's current priority. I use a usb to BT adapter from Iogear which seems to work fine (it's the 421, the 521 will work with Moutain Lion only). I also bought a MS mouse because my wired mighty mouse bit the dust. I think I paid $40 for it. It came with its own adapter. It's an Explorer touch mouse if that helps. It also came with its own dongle, plugged into the usb port.  It has worked fine.
    Those are the  known "solutions" : check to see if the Mac pro has an airport card, and where the BT antenna is plugged in, maybe try an external antenna (the G5 used to have one, I know) or a USB dongle. I've heard that removing the battery cover on the mouse helps. Why? I don't know

  • Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse - Battery Power Reporting Problem

    Problem Description: OS X Bluetooth Manager is constantly reporting that my 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard has a low battery. For instance, Bluetooth Manager reports my Wireless Keyboard Battery Level is 18%. At the same time Bluetooth Manager reports my Mouse Battery Level is 65%. Because the Keyboard Battery Level is low I am being constantly nagged by the Bluetooth Manager about Battery Level and the possibility of the Keyboard disconnecting.
    I decided to swap batteries between the keyboard and mouse as part of a test to see if there is a problem with the way the keyboard or mouse reports available battery power. Sure enough it appears there is a problem with battery power level reporting.
    The batteries that were in the Wireless Keyboard, and that are now in the Magic Mous,e are now reported as having a Mouse Battery Level of 65%, compared to a Keyboard Battery Level of 18%. The batteries that were in the Magic Mouse, and that are now in the Wireless Keyboard, are now reported as having a Keyboard Battery Level of 18%, compared to a Mouse Battery Level of 65%.
    Conclusion, either the Wireless Keyboard, or the Magic Mouse, or both devices are incorrectly reporting the Battery Power Level. It may also be that the OS X Bluetooth Manager is incorrectly reporting the battery level of one or both devices as well.
    This needs Apple to investigate & fix the issue through updates to either the Magic Mouse, 2009 Wireless Keyboard or the OS X Bluetooth Stack.
    I am using Duracell NiMH 1.2V 2000MAh "Stay Charged" Batteries (same as the Apple Store battery version)
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 + Apple 2009 Wireless Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 + Bluetooth 2.0.1. Firmware Update.
    So Apple Support Techs... there is the challenge; are you up for investigating and fixing this problem??
    Cheers Pete

    Thanks for the link David. I used the Community Forums because I've found in the past that Apple Support do monitor them and do pick up problems with Apple gear and pass the info back to their developers. Mostly I used the Community Forums because I just couldn't find the link you provided, so thanks again.
    ps Apple & Macintosh are one in the same. My Apple Wireless Keyboard & Apple Magi Mouse are actually performing as per the descriptions in their respective user manuals, especially in terms of how they report battery state through their built in LED lights. So I deduced this as a problem with the Mac-mini Bluetooth Stack, so beleive it is appropriate to this forum.
    I'm sure other users have noticed this, or similar problems, so perhaps they will add their experience of this issue to my original post. When I did a search of the Community Forums using the search term "Keyboard OR Mouse AND Battery" I found plenty of similar issues.
    Thanks again for the link I'll chase Apple through that channel.

  • Bluetooth Magic Mouse Issues (OS X Yosemite 10.10.3)

    Upgrade to 10.10.3 has made Magic Mouse unusable other than for the first few minutes following reboot.  Have tried all suggested fixes including reset of NVRAM, SMC & turn off/on Bluetooth.  Keyboard and track pad don't appear to have the same issues.  Mouse works fine initially and after reset, but once applications (i.e. Mail, Safari, Calendar, etc.) are opened, device loses connection and connection won't re-establish for 10-15 minutes.  Replaced all batteries to new & also deleted and repaired Bluetooth devices to see if that would fix.
    USB Mouse works without issue, but lacks functionality of Magic Mouse so looking for a solution.

    Hey. I just fixed it
    Try this
    go to your library/preferences/
    find the folder "SystemConfiguration"
    make a back up on your desktop then delete it from library/preferences/
    restart computer ( your mac will remake those files)
    viola working bluetooth and wifi

  • Screen maginified and jumps around. Magic mouse issues

    All of a sudden my magic mouse will zoom things without my command. It has magnified my screen so the whole screen (desktop) is not visible at one time and I can't figure out how to put it back the way it was. In the meantime, when I move the move everything jumps around. HELP! What is going on?

    Sorry, I don't think you understand the problem I'm having. The mouse acts on its own all of a sudden. For example I will be in an application and just move the mouse (without touching the keyboard or attempting to click anything) and the screen will zoom to 400%. Now my desktop screen is so zoomed in that the top or bottom is missing. So when I move the mouse the whole screen jumps up and down or from side to side. No amount of tinkering in System Preferences has fixed it. Changing the screen resolution makes it worse actually. Holding the Control key on the desktop just brings up the menu for the desktop. It does nothing.
    I've read that there are issues with the magic mouse. I guess that would be correct.

  • Premiere CC 2014 - Magic Mouse issues?

    I know most professionals might prefer not using Apple's Magic Mouse for professional applications, but I happen to kind-of like the mouse.
    However, since using the latest version of Premiere CC 2014, I've noticed some very erratic behavior with the Magic Mouse. Click-dragging to move clips on my timeline doesn't always work. Sensitivity is delayed in zooming in on the timeline. Scrolling lags. Etc. etc.
    Anyone else have any issues using the Magic Mouse? All my other non-Adobe applications seem to be working fine with this mouse, though I have notice some similar sensitivity issues with the mouse in Illustrator and InDesign.
    I'm hoping there will just be a bug fix or something, as I've been having to resort to using a wired mouse, which is a clunky fix.

    EXACT SAME THING HERE  Can't find answer !!
    drag and drop clip is ssssooooooooooooo frustrating !!
    I have to use a usb mouse for premiere and magic mouse for e-mail and other stuff...
    unacceptable !
    I discovered that what makes it not to work is simply the horizontal scroll of the "middle button". if you click, start draging a clip and your finger move of half of 1mm, then it just end the move there... same for rectangle selection !
    hate that !
    I'm getting pain in the arm because I switch mouse all the time and they are obviously not the same speed and this change my work flow and lot of stuff ! This is a tiny problem causing huge problem !!

  • Apple magic mouse issues

    i am on my second magic mouse. Neither work properly. The mouse loses connection and I am continually having to turn it off and on.The graphics shutter.

    How long have you had your latest mouse.   Was it new when you purchased it?    What brand of batteries is it using?    Are these batteries new?    Have you tried cleaning the terminals inside of the battery compartment?

  • Magic Mouse Issue

    Hello, I've recently installed Snow Leopard, and encountered the dreaded problem of the magic mouse. It will not scroll and be properly detected as a bluetooth mouse on my system.
    I've tried everything in this topic : http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2383403
    At one point it was working properly then I got this message on startup:
    *System Extension Cannot be used*
    +The system externsion "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleBluetoothMultitouch.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update"+
    Now, I'm stuck with a two button mouse. Does anyone have this kext file ? Or a possible fix to solve this annoying issue ? I would be forever grateful.

    I´m having a similar thing, no error message, though.
    The mouse does not do any scrolling etc, only left + right click.
    Can´t install the "WirelessMouseSoftware", the installer says there´s a later version of this software already installed...

  • HT3964 Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse Not Working

    i've been using Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse on the iMac since Sep 2009 and they both worked well until one month ago, after cleaning the wireless keyboard, some of the function keys on the top row didn't work anymore while the magic mouse couldn't scroll left/right.  it's really frustrating.  how can i resolve this problem?

  • Magic Mouse Issue (video) other then known lag problem

  • Handcream - Miscoloring on Wireless Keyboard/Magic Mouse?

    Hi folks,
    this question might sound a bit peculiar but I've tried to be as specific as possible:
    I suffer from eczema and regulary need to apply cream on my hands - somewhere between 15-20 times a day. I use my MBP on and off the whole day and sometimes the whole evening as well. A few weeks ago I started working using the Wireless Keyboard (latest model) and the Magic Mouse.
    When applying the cream I wait a few minutes untill the skin has absorbed most of it, but it is nearly impossible to work without some "leftovers". (Don't know the wright word for it).
    So I'm wondering if the cream could have a damaging effect on the WK and the MM? Or maybe some miscoloring?
    (I've used these products for a few weeks now and there is no miscoloring so far. Neither has the MBP been miscolored and I've used it since spring 2007. The only cleaning products I've used for the MBP is a cloth and plain water (The tapwater where I live has low levels of chalck in it - I think the term is soft water).
    But since the WK and MM are made of different materials they might react differently?
    Im sure there are others worrying about something similar. So; are there any dermatologists/doctors/scientists in here?
    Im not looking for alternative solutions like wearing gloves, switching to a proven "safe" cream, etc.
    Here is a list of what the cream contains:
    Aqua
    Tridecyl Stearate
    Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate//Dicaprate
    Carbamid
    Ethylhexyl palmitate
    Tridecyl Trimellitate
    Ceteareth-20
    Cetyl Alcohol
    Stearyl alcohol
    Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
    BHT
    Retinyl palmitate
    Cholecalciferol
    Phenoxyethanol
    Caprylyl alcohol
    Imidazolidinyl urea.
    Puh...
    Let's see if anyone can crack this;)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth>advanced.  Be sure "allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer" is checked.
    I would also reset the PRAM and SMC.
