TS2662 why is my magic mouse suddenly doing things i don't want it to do? zooming in and out without even touching it? stopped scrolling & swiping and when clicking brings up a sub menu?

hi hope somebody can help me before i launch this thing at the wall!!! i have had no problems with my imac before but all of a sudden my mouse has taken on a life of its own.
its zooming in and out side to side all over the place when i'm not even touching it. yet when i want it to zoom in and out now it dosnt even acknowledge my tapping and swiping. (its actually zooming in and out as i'm writing this!!!!!
when i click on anything instead of doing what i want it do do it brings up a sub menu?
i have a feeling when my baby smacked the keyboard, it may have something to do with it but i have since gone into the mouse settings and made sure all the boxes are ticked etc.. has he broken my mac? :/

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

TS4058 Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!

Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!

Hi,
iChat 5.x.x works in Snow Leopard.
(Older versions also work in earlier OS versions)
iChat 4 and iChat 5 had a method of getting to a registration page for @mac.com names.
The iChat version no longer does this (but the registration page still exists)
In addition to this if you selected AIM then the option does not work now as AIM moved their Registration pages soon after Snow Leopard came out.
@mac.com registration page
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)
You cannot use an email that has already been used with or is an Apple ID.
AIM registration Page
You cannot exceed the 16 character limit here
You need an email for Confirmation and for Password recovery (You can use it again and again if you want to set up loads of names)
You can chose a Name or use an existing email.
iChat can also use Jabber IDs
Google Mail IDs can have Talk enabled in their Google Account settings and then it can be used in iChat
Facebook have a Chat option that needs enabling.
Both use Jabber servers and your ID with them is a Valid Jabber name.
There are lots of other Public Jabber servers.

tworules,
You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running. As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine. As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

My iPad mini displays iOS 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do you get it to access the main menu?

Reboot your iPad and see if that lets it start up properly.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If this doesn't work, you may have to restore your iPad using iTunes on your computer.

Check the iPod Hardisk, with DiskDiagnostic as posted here by tt2

It wont fix your problem, but help us both, in troubleshooting, and reducing frivolous suggestions.
If your report says high Realloc or Pending Sector, then it's time to have your hardisk replaced.

Magic mouse suddenly eating batteries

I've had my iMac and magic mouse setup for a few years and the battery life on the mouse has always been decent (I replace the rechargeables every few weeks). Suddenly in the last few days though, the mouse has started eating a set of batteries every 2 days. Any ideas why this might be happening? I haven't changed anything re: my setup, OS, etc.

Rather than the mouse, it's more likely the batteries are exhausted. Rechargeable batteries are not exactly consistent in themselves or compared with other, similar batteries.   Here are some notes I made about batteries which may help.
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.

HT204387 iPAD mini iOS 6.1 can pair keyboards, why not the Magic Mouse?

I need to access a site that requires click & drag with my iPad Mini. Has anyone figured out a work-around to get the MAGIC MOUSE to pair with the iPAD Mini? I am having trouble understanding why it won't pair. Can Apple make an update to iOS 6.1 to include the MM? It already can pair many other Bluetooth accessories, why not mice?

Thank you KPenguin. I understand now, though I still can't 'click & drag' items in Kano games. The 2 second hold that works for rearranging app icons doesn't seem to work. Guess I'll be returning my new MMouse, which is a shame. I was looking forward to playing around with all it's cool features! :)
Note to self: Mouse needs active cursor to work! Haha (it's a duh moment here!!) o.O

Why is my magic mouse reporting different battery levels?

I have 2 magic mice. One reports %100, the other reports %66 with the same batteries. Is one defective? Both are out of warranty.
ty

common
Ive got 2 mac mini
the magic mouse is a tad of a battery hog.
My magic mouse (both of them) use batts. about 3X as fast or more than keyboard, for obvious reasons.
Mouse is perpetually sending signal when moving and gets a lot more transmission output than typing by a long shot.
Magic mouse is transmitting about 20X as much as a keyboard is, why would you wonder why its using more batteries?

Magic mouse sudden connection loss

My magic mouse loses connection suddenly. I have tried even changing batteries but the problem is not resolved. Please help

Look at the threads in More Like This at the right.
One general theory is that different makes of batteries have slightly different length positive terminals and loose connection. Some find adding a small shim of aluminum foil to keep the batteries from moving works. Others just a piece of paper to push down and serve the same purpose.
Others sometimes have problems with interferance.
