Possibility of fixing scratches on the plastic part of Magic Mouse

I have a magic mouse I bought used and the top plastic was severly scratched by the previous owner's girlfriend's ring. Is there a possibility of removing the scratches? I know for a fact that the plastic is identical to that the first intel iMac was made of, and I have seen someone removing scratch from one of those, but with the touch surface in this mouse will it harm to do so? You can see the scratches and fell it while using the mouse, it isn't like those scratches you see on the apple display mouse it's even worse.
I think i could replace the mouse but is it cover under the 3 year warranty the computer it came with (iMac mid 2011, purchased in Feb. 2012 and expiring at Feb. 2015)?

As far as I know, the Apple care warranty is transferable within the limitations of the country where the original machine was purchased.   I believe it can be done on line and does not need the original receipt.
But this repair will not qualify because the fault is due to usage (or mis-usage) and not due to manufacturing failure.

  • Replacing all macbook casing from chipping/scratche (all the plastic parts)

    Hi,
    I've had my macbook for about a year and it's had the usual level of surface scratching on the white plastic. I'm still under warrenty, and recently my laptop has been chipping due to the fairly well known design fault at the palm area (above the status light and remote sensor).
    However, can someone tell me if it will be fixed for free, and which parts will they replace? I was thinking of getting all the plastic parts replaced, if not, then the broken part (for free) and the front of the laptop (where the apple logo is). I'd be willing to pay the surplus. Will they accept this?
    Anyone got similar experiences dealing with macbook chipping/etc repairs? thanks.

    I can not believe Apple hasn't addressed this... first off the palm rest area where it chips is razor sharp - then it chips..
    I have had 4 prior mac laptops and WTH? Let's change something that has worked fine for 5 years and still charge 1,400 bucks. IMHO it is unacceptable and I would never recommend a macbook to anyone. And to upsell to a pro is BS. Wait till the nest design. Maybe Apple employees don't use macbooks?
    And to have to BUY a hard case for a design flaw??????????????

  • Is there a way to open the notification pane using magic mouse?

    Is there a way to open the notification pane using magic mouse? i mean it would be great if i could two finger swipe to the right for the notification pane (two finger swipe left opens dashboard)
    I have Magic Prefs if it helps

    It doesn't seem like this is possible in 10.9.1.  Can someone at Apple confirm or provide a solution?

    Hi PietralataKK,
    I understand your mouse was working fine but now you have lost the multitouch features of the mouse.  You don't mention if you can click or move the cursor with it.
    For this please start with this article to troubleshoot,
    Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues in Mac OS X v10.5 - Apple Support
    Then for the "trackpad" functionality check out,
    Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic - Apple Support
    Yes, it talks about Magic Trackpad, but the top of the Magic Mouse is like that.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?

    My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.

    I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
    Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
    Good luck!

  • The batteries on my Magic Mouse are lasting one week

    The batteries on my Magic Mouse are lasting one week. Please help.

    How old is the Mouse.  When did you last change the batteries.  Are they rechargeable or regular.
    Here are some notes I have made about batteries.
    Batteries.  Here are a few notes I've put together.    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.  Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
    Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.  I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.  The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.  Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
    Note.  Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.  The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.  Note.  Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones. 
    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.  You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it.  The green light becomes steady.

  • Slight scratches in the black part of the back

    Hi,
    being said in the subject I've got some slight scratches or rather abrasions in the black part of the back of the iPhone. Probably caused due to the cradle because they are all in the same line. Anyone expierenced the same? And is there a way to get them off?

    I'm continually amazed at how much people are concerned about slight scratches to the iPhone. I know it's a great looking piece of kit, but it's bound to suffer some wear and tear given it's usage pattern. I'm reminded of the time I bought a new car and had sleepless nights when i found a small scratch on it. After a few months, it didn't really bother me that much.
    The part you need to protect is the screen, which you look at all the time. It's pretty scratch resistant, but it makes sense to buy some sort of case to protect it when it's in your pocket with keys and/or pens. There are plenty of threads on the "best" case around.
    If the scratches are a real bother, you can easily buy a replacement back cover from ebay for $15 at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230212988581.
    But note that doing this yourself will void the warranty.

  • How to fix a Nonresponse Left-Click on a  Magic Mouse

    First, this posting is not a problem but a solution to a problem with the OS X 10.6 System Preference/Mouse/Double-Click setting.
    I have a new Magic Mouse and it was non responsive on normal every day left-clicks.
    It got so bad I was having to go to the File menu and use the Open command to do
    just about anything.
    I checked the Mouse settings and the Double-Click option setting was hard up against
    the Fast peg on the right. I remembered a tip from long ago that using the max settings
    was not good. I backed off two clicks on the Double-Click option setting and the new
    Magic Mouse became responsive as expected. It is now working great!
    I hope this tip or reminder to not use extreme Mouse settings will be useful to someone.

    Tried to correct my typo in the Subject from to Non-responsive

  • How can I increase the range of my magic mouse via bluetooth...

    I would like to be able use my bluetooth devices (keyboard and magic mouse) from my 2011 imac running mavericks from an upstairs location to a downtstairs location with a tv and an apple tv usig mirroring options...  The set up works if they are all a little closer together...  If i get the two locations set up  the way I want them - the mouse and keyboard keep losing connections and the mouse is very jumpy...  Is there an amplifier or something else I can do to strengthen the signal?
    Thank you very much in advance for your help

    The maximum range of Bluetooth devices is about 30 feet (10 meters). If any exists, I would not trust something that boosted the signal further than I could throw it.
    The range, I think, is an FCC rule.

  • New iMac 27 with the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse

    Is it just my keyboard or does the wireless keyboards that come with the iMac 27inch just SUCK? ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS losing its connection. The keyboard is ALWAYS losing its connection. The mouse, barely, but sometimes, maybe once every 2 days. The keyboard. Several times an feffin day. What gives? Should I have them exchanged or are others experiencing this BS?
    Did Apple just RUSH out the new iMacs without properly QAing????? WT*?

    I thought I read that with two batteries there is no problem-only with three.
    I can only provide a sample of one but the new keyboard which came with my i7 is still at 100%. Regarding the Magic Mouse, I am on my second set of batteries. The i7 is on day 40 of use. I also have a Magic Mouse paired with my 24" 2.8 Intel iMac which has a wired keyboard. The 24" sits idle much of the time and the original batteries show 91%.

  • Notebook docking station -what the plastic part used for?

    I got a docking station for an Elitebook, and it had a plastic piece that I cant figure out? Where does it go?
    Any ideas appreciated

    I think that it could be a good guess like you suggested.
    I can't say where the piece was located since someone else opened it, sadly.. sigh..
