TS3048 My apple magic mouse keeps slowing down.

It's not jittery or jumpy, it's just slow. I max out the track speed in the preferences and that works for a few minutes. Shortly after, it slows back down. I go into the preferences and it is still maxed. If I turn it down, it becomes extremely slow. I mean, I have to lift my mouse off the table and reposition it to get it to where I need to go. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.

Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month. So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
Thanks.

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but wants to give me option to open, save, etc? Keep trying by clicking again and again, finally it will let me link

Apple Magic Mouse responds but does not want to click to web links, but gives options instead, go back, look up, save, etc? Changed batteries but does not solve the mouse problem. I click all over the page and it continues to provide options and link is indicated in blue, but have to keep trying until it finally let me continue.

Are you sure you are clicking on the left side of the mouse, rather than somewhere in the middle (and probably closer to the right side)?

Apple Magic Mouse and Headset

As soonas i run my Apple Magic Mouse together wit my samsung hm3100 my mouse is loosing the connection as soon as i switch of muy head set everything is fine Macbook Pro 17 inch snow 10.6.8
Any idea
Thanx
Frank

Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but I'm having issues with this as well. Using my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse causes pandora to speed up and slow down all the time (really weird sounding) and then intermittant drops. I'm on a 2011 macbook pro with 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7 etc etc. I don't really think I'm doing something that outside of the box, i mean I get that there are limits to how much data can be pushed through bluetooth, but you'd think that would be within reach... Can you prioritize the data such that the sound quality is never affected? I'd rather my mouse be a bit jumpy than the sound be all funky...

Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse. You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse. Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless. The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
The wired mouse is a regular problem. After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so. Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight. Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper. This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc. Then try again

Apple Magic Mouse and ID

I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
Thanks for any ideas.
John Mallinson

I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
IMHO big Apple Fail.

My magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page

Hi, my magic mouse keeps jumping all over the page and random apps keep appearing on my screen when I'm in facebook and it keeps sliding onto my dashboard screen.

Thanks so much for replying Barry. Did what you said but took me 6 attempts to be able to reply to you so unfortunately did not work. Have to wait over a week to get into Apple store so I guess I've just got to wait. This is my second magic mouse and its driving me crazy. Touch pad also playing up but thanks for the advice and have a good day.

Magic Mouse extremely slow on Macbook Air (late 2010)

Hi All,
Just switched from PC to Mac - everything is fine and i'm very excited about it.
There's one major issue for me and that's with the Apple Magic Mouse, it feels extremely slow and sluggish - nothing like Mice i've used in Windows.
Now, it seems that third party software fixes this (Mouse Acceleration Preferences Pane i.e.) but i don;t see why it should be prefect out of the box.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Haim

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am not convinced it is a hardware problem. For if I hold the key that is faulty pressed for a few seconds it works, and the also works for a while before it stops working again. This to me seems like it is software based. Is there a secure way to test software vs. hardware e.g. by booting from an external image into a shell only? I do not think I have an image on a usb, is there any online server that I can connect to to try it?
Thanks again
Tobias

Why does magic mouse keep disconnecting?

I've got an Apple Magic Mouse that is less than one year old and it keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini. It just started doing it. I've put in fresh batteries and restarted the computer. I've got all the latest operating system software. Nothing is out of date. Every couple of minutes it just randomlly disconnects then reconnects and so on, over and over again. It's only about 2 feet away from my Mac Mini.
Anybody know what to do?
Thanks.
David

I thank you for your help, Ascendi, but I have no idea what you're saying. I'm guessing I stand alone, because others do understand. What I got from it was that the batteries don't fit snuggly, and to shove aluminum foil... somewhere. I'm don't have a PhD in battery terminal dimensions and their terminonolgy. But I do appreciate that you helped.
David / Flashkube2... EXACTLY! After years and years with my wonderful white Magic Mouse, just today the exact same thing started happening, only I was losing connection every 20 seconds. Half the time, I'd get it back. I feared it was a Bluetooth error, or a hacker was "stealing my juice" So I got online here, read this stuff, wiggled my batteries around (for years and years, I've only used Duracel), and for the last 10 minutes, I have kept connection with Mr. Mouse and Mr. Mac. Keep your fingers crossed!
So if this problem arises again, I just stuff aluminum foil in there? (I'll be a wee bit neater than "stuff"). Speak "positive terminal" and "negative terminal" and "top of the batteries" to me, because "depth of the recess" and "vernier caliper" are Chinese to me. Does "battery recess" mean how the two batteries sit in its casing?
Maybe I just didn't have enough coffee this morning. I'm not ususally shtooo-pid. (don't go there!)

Apple Magic Mouse Warranty

I bought a Apple Magic Mouse from a retailer yesterday. I was wondering if the product requires a product registration for warranty?
Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why my apple magic mouse isn't working on my computer i've tried new batterys but it still doesn't work

I bought a macbook pro and apple magic mouse 6 months ago and it has worked in the past, but when I tried to use it earlier it doesn't work. The macbook seems to recognise it but when you move the mouse the curser stays put. The track pad still works though, any sugestions?

Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
Thanks in advance.

The same with the trackpad!
Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

How to Setup Apple Magic Mouse in Windows 7?

Hi,
I have a MBP that runs "Apple OS X 10.6.3" and "Windows 7 Ultimate".
I also purchased an "Apple Magic Mouse".
I have no problem setting up the Apple Magic Mouse on the Mac side, but don't know how to set up the Apple Magic Mouse in the Windows 7.
So how do I make my Apple Magic Mouse work in the Windows 7?
Thanks.

Hi,
I clicked "Add wireless devices", but it cannot show apple magic mouse.
i put my apple magic mouse for a while and let bluetooth search, the apple magic mouse can be used, but still not showing in the panel.
if i have to wait for 1 or 2 mins for the mbp to recognize my apple magic mouse,(in the windwos 7 of course), then it's too tedious.
anyway that can solve this problem?

Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

Hi
I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
(I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences. If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...
