Problems with 6mth old Magic Mouse

Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem I have started to have with my 6 month old Magic Mouse.   I can be using it quite happily then all of a sudden left click refuses to work.  When I left click I just get the right click menu.  The only solution is to turn the mouse off and on again.  It can then take up to 10 minutes to pair.  This problem has now occurred three times in the past two hours and is getting beyond a joke, 
Has anyone else had this problem?  If so is there a solution?   I can't find the purchase receipt for the Mouse, so can't take it back

Thank you very much - I normally wouldn't take something back without the receipt - I will take it in to my local Apple Store next week.  Fingers crossed!

  • Problem with Mac OSX Magic Mouse in Library

    Dear Freinds,
    me and some colleques, we got a problem with Apples Magic Mouse and Lightrooms Library: If the mouse is on the big picture of LRs Library, and you are swiping or wiping on the mouse only a very little, a lot of pictures are scrolling very fast, much to fast to handle.
    This happens often without any purpose and that´s very annoying, because you have to search the picture again, that you worked with.
    I think this is a bug of Lightroom, but I didn´t found a solution anywere.
    Is there any?
    Thanks
    Marco

    This behavior was also in Lr4 and maybe Lr3.  The swiping with the magic mouse is oversensitive in a few other programs also.   It is pretty annoying but I have finally got used to being careful with the swipe in Library on the big photo.  I would think Adobe could adjust the speed for this but Apple should allow the user more options in the mouse settings panel.  Apple seems to be going in the negative direction of letting the user customize the interface as they keep taking more setting features out.  In their typical arrogance, it seems that they think Apple knows best and the users can just deal with it.

  • Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
    I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
    Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
    I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
    I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
    How can i solve this boring problem?

    I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
    This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
    I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
    Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

    Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
    Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
    The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

    Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

    You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
    Here is a link to drivers:
    Logitech Drivers
    You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • I have a 5 month old Magic Mouse and I want to replace the batteries for the first time but the battery door will not release any suggestions?

    The battery compartment door on my Magic Mouse appears to be jammed shut and will not open, the device is only 5 months old and this is the first time I have needed to open it to change the batteries. Are there any suggestions?

    It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
    Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost.  Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
    Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.

  • 5k retina display - scroll not working with Safari (both magic mouse and trackpad)

    Hi,
    suddenly my trackpad and magic mouse stopped working with scrolling (most annoying one) and other gestures.
    I recently bought the iMAC 5K retina display and was not expecting this by any means...
    I have a ton of tabs open on safari and simply "refuse" to try the old windows way of rebooting the machine...
    I have to use the arrow keys to scroll down... this is insane
    could you please advise? am I missing something?
    many thanks

    Just found out the reason I couldn't get the two to play nicely. I had connected my keyboard and trackpad using a "Magic Wand" which looked great. Unfortunately the magic wand had a connecting piece to fill in the gap between the two pieces and this was preventing the little pads underneath the trackpad clicking. So I can only guess that because the trackpad couldn't click it thought it was stuck and therefore also locked up the mouse. I've remove the connector and both pieces work perfectly together!

  • Can't drag and drop in Finder with trackpad or magic mouse

    I can't seem to drag and drop anthing in the Finder window since updating to Mavericks (10.9). I've tried changing all magic mouse and trackpad settings.  I can drag and drop windows and apps on the dock.  No sure what the issue is....any help is appreciated!

    Had the same problem. Reinstalled the software - all is well. Cured many ills with the initial installation - don't bother trying to play with permissions, etc. Just reinstall.
    Thank goodness this isn't Micro$oft or you'd have to sit in front of the computer to keep answering the "Okay to reboot" questions every time a chunk of code is installed.

  • Why can't I scroll / Multi-touch with my new Magic Mouse?

    I just got my first magic mouse and paired it with my 2008 model white macbook. It works as a mouse, but none of the multi-touch functionality is working. Here's the details
    - I updated to lion recently, and i want to take advantage of the gesture technology. but my macbook is *PRE MULTI-TOUCH* so the track pad does none of those cool tricks.  I thought that using the magic mouse I could use all those nifty features....
    - I read on another forum that people were having trouble with USB OverdriveX, which I've used for a while.  I removed the software with AppCleaner, which is supposed to clean out the plists and everything, and I restarted, but nothing's changed.
    - I downloaded MagicPrefs, and although it shows me the magic mouse details screen, messing with the settings doesn't change anything, i still can't even scroll. Also i set the menu icon to show me the remaining battery life of my device, and instead of that it is grayed out. Does this mean it doesn't recognize my mouse?
    - Finally, and this is what's most frustrating me: Everywhere I look I see the magic mouse preferance pane and it looks NOTHING like mine.  I don't have a 'magic mouse' preference pane in my system preferences, and when i click on 'mouse' all i get is this:
    I haven't come across anyone else with this problem, and I get the feeling that this might once again be a failure of my aging machine.  But every other element of mac software is running, and the mouse recognizes movement, left click, and right click.  Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

    I can't be sure it hasn't gotten mucked up with all those other steps you took, but here's what I know.
    The Magic Mouse has some gestures, yes, but not all those found in a multi-touch trackpad. You can get a Magic Trackpad for that if you really want it all to work just the same.
    However, to fix your issue, try uninstalling third-party mouse drivers (such as Logitech or Microsoft), USB Overdrive, BetterTouchTool, Jitouch, and/or drivers for other input-managing devices. Not getting the Magic Mouse preferences is usually the result of some third-party driver getting in the way. AppCleaner is a good way to do this, but you might want to search google for instructions specific to whatever drivers you may have installed and now want to remove.
    Once you think you've got them all cleaned out, open bluetooth preferences and remove your Magic Mouse. Now re-add it and see if you get the Magic Mouse preferences screens that you've been seeing online.
    Hopefully this has fixed it.
    If so, I will add that I have greatly expanded my Magic Mouse capabilities with Better Touch Tool and never had the kinds of issues you're having now. If you do get the Magic Mouse set up correctly, do not fear to install Better Touch Tool after the fact. I know from experience it will not cause such havoc!
