No Scrolling on the Magic Mouse 10.5.8

I have installed my new magic mouse and have 10.5.8. All functions work except for the scroll feature. I ran all software updates but this is not working. The video about the magic mouse leads me to believe that I have to have Snow Leopard. Is this true? When I go to system preferences and click on Mouse, I can only adjust the tracking and clicking speeds, no options for the scroll feature. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this one.......

This thread should help. Note the link at the top for the Magic Mouse software is incorrect you need to go here

Is it possible to disable the magic mouse scrolling in windows 7?

I've partitioned my hard drive with bootcamp to run windows 7 for a handful of games that aren't mac friendly. The problem is that once I installed the drivers to use the magic mouse, the scroll keeps jumping around at inconvenient times while I'm playing which makes it pretty difficult. How can I turn the scrolling off? I like having the scroll on the trackpad, but I only want the left and right click on the mouse.

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

Where is in OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the Magic Mouse scroll.

I have not found anymore on OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the vertical scroll of Magic Mouse. The problem is That I use Corel Draw with Parallels, and Corel Draw does not work with the scroll on, he gets mad. I always turn off the scroll option of Magic Mouse in OS X Leopaed before entering Windows XP. Now I had to put a conventional mouse and stop using the Magic Mouse because I dont find this option in the settings of the mouse preferences.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many Thanks

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience? I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Using the Magic Mouse (4 finger scroll?)

I got a new iMac and I've played with the trackpad for the Macbook. The Macbook has the 4 finger swipe to switch between programs easily (like alt+tab for us PC users making the transition to Mac). Is there something equivalent with the iMac Magic Mouse, a hot key to bring that menu up, or a way to program the Magic Mouse to do that, or a way to program a regular Logitech trackman wheel mouse to do that? Thanks!

You can add functionality to the Magic Mouse with an app like BetterTouchTool;

TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Smooth scrolling using a magic mouse

Hi all,
I've recently made the switch to Mac (sporting a MacBook Pro 15" retina early 2013) from Windows. I'm still using Windows through Parallels since I need to use Visual Studio for my work as a developer.
Currently, I'm using a Razor DeathAdder mouse because it's simple, ergonomic (at least to my hand) However, scrolling in both OSX (10.9.4) and Windows (8.1) is a bit annoying since it's not smooth at all. It's quite "laggy", so to speak. Like it's scrolling in steps. I've tried some third party apps for OSX, but none of them have done the job in makeing the scrolling smoother.
Then I came to think: if I use the Magic Mouse from Apple, will I get the same smooth scrolling as I do on the touchpad? Because in both OSX and Windows, it's really nice and smooth when using the touchpad on the MacBook :-)
Can anyone confirm that scrolling is as smooth on the Magic Mouse, as it is on the touchpad in both OSX and Windows?
Thanks a lot in advance.
All the best,
Bo

Scrolling with the magic mouse is nice and smooth for me in both OS X and Windows (running in VirtualBox, I don't have boot camp set up as I don't need Windows that often any more and definitely have no need to boot it 'raw').

How do you hold the Magic Mouse?

I've had my Magic Mouse for about a month now and the one thing that's really got me on the verge of swapping it out is how I inadvertently move the canvas when I'm working with Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. With standard mice you don't really have to care about the state of your index finger after you click or how it may slightly touch the surface as you move the mouse around, but with the MM it's something to be conscious of. When I stop to inspect the mechanics of how I use a mouse, it's amazing how often my index finger inadvertently bounces back and forth from the surface. When I'm lifting up, setting back down, considering a click, scrolling, etc. I'm gonna try to consciously keep my index finger down when I'm moving the mouse around in hopes that it'll stop this unwanted result.
So how do you hold the Magic Mouse? Is your index finger always down when you move it around?

Good question. Seems i use the middle finger for everything except for when I need to swap desktops or do other stuff with mission control.

Anyone noticed Safari scrolling too fast (Magic Mouse)?

Has anyone reading this noticed that scrolling with a Magic Mouse, while in Finder, other Apps (or Browsers such as Chrome and FF) is commensurate with the Scroll settings set in System Preferences \ Mouse \ Scrolling, but that in Safari, those settings are greatly amplified, or multiplied, making scrolling wildly unpredictable, frustrating, and basically useless?
The behavior I'm experiencing is that even the gentlest and shortest distance vertical touch will scream up, or down, the page, past the content displayed in between.
I noticed this behavior, while still evident, is slightly muted when scrolling with the mouse is applied to (or over) the blue scroll bar, but nowhere near what one might qualify as normal.
This is with Safari 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) and OS X 10.6.5.
Hardware details:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

HI,
Login to another user account and try scrolling Safari there. If it's ok there, then it's your just the one user account that's effected.
In that account try emptying the Safari cache, Command + Option +E. Relaunch Safari.

Lion's page-turning gestures on the magic mouse don't work in the App Store

Hi.
Does anyone know why Lion's swipe gestures for moving forwards and backwards through pages don't work in the App Store? I have the Lion OS and use a magic mouse in conjunction with MagicPrefs, stored in the System Preferences, and the gestures work with every app except the App Store.
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the Magic Mouse, so I don't know how the gestures are different from those on a trackpad. However, on a trackpad, you can use a two-finger left or right swipe to scroll horizontally, which - in Safari only - will also go forward or backward between pages. There is also a three-finger swipe that more properly goes forward or backward in any app that supports that, including the App Store, iTunes, etc. You'll want to use that gesture instead.

Is it worth spending another $30 to get the Magic Mouse over the standard Apple Mouse?

After purchacing a new Macbook Air I found that it would be a good investment into a mouse. After looking into the ''mac'' mice I found myself in-between two: the Apple Mouse and the Magic Mouse. I have heard that the standard Apple Mouse is prone to the scrolling ball getting dirty and thought if $30.00 more would be a better investment (no moving parts, wireless...etc). If I could have some view pionts that would be helpfull!

I think the Magic Mouse is better. The mighty mouse scroll wheel get's dirty quickly and then ceases to scroll in one direction or the other. The benefit of the Magic Mouse is that addition gestures are added with Lion.

HT204023 How do i cut off contextual menu on the Magic Mouse. My hands are somewhat disabled with Rheumatoid Arthritis and some fingers are curled/cripple. I am somewhat more facile with the d

I am an 86 year old family historian/ genealogist and a 30 or more year Mac User.
I am becoming increasingly limited by Rheumatoid Arthritis and am no longer able to use the Magic Mouse or the Scroll Mouse with ease. Fingers are curled/crippled to a varying degree of significance. The contextual menu is a headache for me. I am better able to use what I call a "plain jane Logitech" Mouse. I am familiar with the dictate function and need to learn more about its use specifically indexing with spread sheet type applications.
All suggestions appreciated.

Hey veekayn,
It sounds like you want to know how to disable the right-click on your Magic Mouse and find more information about physical accessibility options that will make using your Macs more enjoyable.
You can change the behavior of the right-click for your Magic Mouse, or any other mouse, as shown in the article below.

This article provides a lot of great information about the accesibility features that are built into OS X.

I have boot camp in my mac to use autocad. Can I use the magic mouse on my windows side and use it to work in autocad?

I have boot camp in my MacBook Pro to use AutoCAD. Can I use the magic mouse on my Windows side and use it to work in AutoCAD?

Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.
