Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and  on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Can the magic mouse and magic trackpad be used together

    Having just purchased a new iMac with a wireless keyboard and magic mouse, I want to add a keypad and I'm looking at purchasing the Magic Trackpad with the Mobee Magic Numpad overlay (and connecting it to the keyboard with the Twelve South Magic Wand).
    What I need to know is - if using the Magic Trackpad, can I still use the Magic Mouse at the same or must it be one or the other (would there be any conflicts)?

    Yes, they can both be enabled at the same time as can the keyboard.

  • Swipe between pages after mavericks update not working?

    After the latest mavericks update i cant swipe to go forward/ backward on google chrome or safari?
    yes i have the option selected on system preferences>trackpad>swipe between pages.
    yes i have uninstalled/reinstalled chrome AND safari.
    The browser page moves when i slide to fingers left/right... but the little black highlighted arrow doesnt appear anymore?. and it doesnt go back to previous page.

    There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.

  • I bought apple magic mouse and trying to pare it with mac book pro but it says the devise doesn't have necessary services also when if I try to pare it again in 5 mins it says error in connecting ...please help

    please help

    It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
    Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
    Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

    It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers,  however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
    I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
    How can I correct this please?

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

  • Magic mouse swipe between pages not working "only" in finders and preferences

    Hi community,
    I'm a new comer in this mac world like I just bought it less than a month ago and I'm already having trouble with it.
    My apple magic mouse cannot swipe between pages "only" in finder and preferences. I mean it works perfectly fine with Safari and stuff but when it comes to finder, I cannot move between folders by swiping with one finger. Ironically, it works fine if I change it to two finger swipe option by sacrificing 'Swipe between full-screen app' feature as it uses two fingers. Apple customer support that I talked to could not figure it out and I'm hoping to find answers here. I mean it's really awkward as it works with two fingers but not with one finger. Plus, one finger swipe works fine in Safari and other apps.
    I did what I can - restarting, -switch on and off the mouse, - PRAM reset, - trying in serfdom, -remove and pair up again the mouse, -run repair permission in disk utility.
    I use Mac Mini late 2014 with Yosemite 10.10.1 and this just happened all of sudden.
    Please help!!

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

  • Swipe between pages with three-fingers MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    After updating FF to 29.0.1 I no longer can swipe between pages using three fingers or do a quick scroll to the top of the page using three fingers.
    Best regards,
    Anton

    Try this. Start in safe mode. See if there is a problem and report back.

  • Swipe between pages in Safari not working properly

    Lion works perfectly so far, the only known issue I have is that Gesture in Safari to go Back or Forward does not work properly: Swipe between pages (Scroll left or right with two fingers).
    it means I see the previous page under the actual page, but the task would not complete and it's like something blocking it to turn the pages. I hope you understand what I am saying. Anyone with the same bug? Any solution?
    I've restored safari, cleaned the history and Reset it, restart computer, unselected the gesture option in Preference and activate it again, with no luck.

    I've had the same problem as feri.  Dylanksf described the behaviour best - when two-finger swiping forward and back in Safari, the page moves slightly to the side, then acts as if it "catches" on something before moving further.  The result is it's nearly impossible to swipe back and forward (although the 3-finger swipe still works).  I don't have Flexiglass installed.
    Usually I'm able to solve the problem by doing the following:  (1) open system preferences and select "Trackpad"; (2) go to the "More Gestures" pane; (3) toggle the "Swipe between pages" checkmark and settings; (4) put the settings back to how you want them.
    On some occasions, however, this doesn't seem to work.  In that case, go back to the main System Preferences panel, choose "Universal Access", select the "Mouse & Trackpad" pane, and click on "Trackpad Options...".  Then toggle the checkmark beside "Scrolling" off and back on, and make sure scrolling is set to "with inertia".  This managed to solve my problem when the method above didn't work, and also resolved an issue I was having where the scroll bars were failing to automatically disappear when using the magic trackpad.

  • Swipe between pages...

    ...no longer works eversince I upgraded to Mavericks in Finder. Have Apple removed this feature that used to work with Finder? I do have Swipe between pages ticked in sys prefs. It works in other apps, just not with Finder.

    I think the best solution for this is using the "column view"

  • OS x mavericks Safari hangs when i swipe between pages

    OS x mavericks Safari hangs when i swipe between pages
    i configured the mouse to swipe between pages one of the best basic features from apple
    and now OS x mavericks kills it. and i use force to stop a lot with this new update.
    and Mavericks is going to feel more like Microsoft windows slow, annoying, no fun to work with

    I have the exact same problem. The mystery is that it happens everytime on my iMac and does not happen on my MacBook Air.  Both are running the same versions of everything.

  • Has anyone figured out a way to scroll & swipe with magic mouse again after upgrading to Maverick? Thanks!

    I finally upgraded to Maverick and now my magic mouse doesn't scroll or swipe on any application and to make things worse, my keyboard scrolling ability after pressing down on the arrows is a bit delayed. Does anyone know how to solve this? My magic mouse and keyboard are a month old, so, I know it's not the devices, but something with the update.
    Things I've done from reading other forums:
    1.  Went to System Preferences/Mouse Settings [but it only gives me two settings: Tracking & Double-Click Speed]
    2. I've reset my PRAM a few timesnow.
    3. Tried restarting my computer a few times too, but nothing.
    4. I've tried searching for these files in my Library to DELETE, but they don't exist, so that method is not an option:
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
    com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.list
    com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
    Also, my bluetooth capabilites are no longer available because of this update. :^/
    Thanks in advance!

    or my actual question is -- is there anything inherantly wrong with this approach.. i mean, if i can get it to make it through consistently, is there a problem with it repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row? is it a drain on system resources or can it break anything etc.?
    Although I'm far from being an expert in programming, I would answer NO. Imho, you've just got a brillant idea! (As for “repeating / updating the variable so many times in a row”… you could add a short delay (like “delay 1”) inside the repeat block, but I don't think it's a must.)

  • Does apple have an issue with magic mouse and adobe

    does Apple have a problem with magic mouse and Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator, scrolling uncontrollable, pages moving of their own accord etc.
    If so, whats the cure and why does Apple not admit to it?
    Badgolfer4

    it's rare that a mouse would perform in a different manner between different applications
    I would troubleshoot with other apps to see if it was just adobe apps
    and then I would troubleshoot by trying a different mouse
    could be the mouse was defect

  • Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

    Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
    Is this true?

    Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
    but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
    it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
    all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
    even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.
