Turn off magic mouse scroll zoom

Whenever I'm in Illustrator and am holding down Shift Option Command the slightest scroll on the mouse makes everything zoom all over the place. How do I turn this off? I found an old thread on this and the Adobe guy said it's Apple's fault and I should buy a new mouse. No. That's not the answer.

The ineffectiveness of the Magic Mouse preference settings in OSX as regards scrolling is most definitely Apple's fault. Here is what you need to know:
 About The Problem: 
Apple is not going to fix this problem. It's been an issue dating back nearly a decade and continues still. It is either beyond the scope of Apple's programming intelligence, or they simply don't care about you and your problems. Apple's programming intelligence pretty much speaking for itself, the only option left is that Apple doesn't care. It's one of the perks of the modern day tech business paradigm, where companies like Apple have so many millions of customers and so much momentum behind their market share, they don't have to care about you, the single, obscure nobody, with your Apple computer you've already paid for. Apple also being a die-hard fan-based enterprise, it knows full well that for every one of us who might have a problem such as this, there are at least a hundred thousand others who would put up with just about anything just to be associated with the logo of an apple with a bite taken out.
 The Fix: 
Fortunately there is a brilliant, enterprising soul (or group of souls) behind the development of an app called MagicPrefs which more than compensates for Apple's indifference to this & other related problems. It not only addresses the inability to turn off the ever-annoying scroll action that happens anytime our fingers brush across the case of the mouse, it offers myriad other functions you might like.
 You owe it to yourself to check out MagicPrefs, and thank the developers for giving us a means to rise above this bit of Apple stupidity.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

TS2662 my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work

my new magic mouse scrolling & swiping will not work. Help??

I had this happen to me as well. just last week (july 28, 2014) I brought my magic mouse from home to work since my work mouse was going south. paired it with bluetooth, it moved and clicked but no scroll or gestures. searched till I nearly ready to give up. then I installed USB overdrive. many forum posts said too remove that. I didn't have it, so I installed it. and then un-installed it. everything works great now.
hope this helps someone.

My magic mouse scrolls backwards with Lion

After upgrading to Lion the up and down movements on my Magic Mouse are backwards. I move my finger down and the page goes up, and the reverse is true when motioning up.

See "magic mouse scrolls in reverse/backwards" for the answer.

Turning off Mighty Mouse wakes computer from sleep

Two part issue:
After sleeping the computer I find that the "power down" on the Mighty Mouse causes the computer to awake!! Does anyone have a solution to this Mouse-killing problem?
I find no instruction about shutting the Mighty Mouse (MM) off when it is not in use (say for overnight). I do see references to relatively short battery life so I imagine that we should power-down the MM when possible. But, the MM appears to be engineered pretty cheaply and it appears that it may not survive many cycles of power up-down. Anyone with thoughts on this?

Bluetooth or USB devices won't wake up a portable running off of battery power. That probably doesn't help you, but I thought I'd note that. I don't think moving the switch actually triggers the wakeup. Of course you can't do that without holding it by the shell, which almost always senses a button press because of the design of the entire shell as right or left buttons.
If you leave your mouse powered-on for a while, it should eventually go into standby mode with reduced power consumption. I use rechargeable batteries, so I don't worry too much about battery life. The batteries lasts several weeks before I need to recharge them and I can keep a charged set handy.
So I take it you're using the mouse to select going to sleep in the pull-down menu and then try turning off the mouse. At least with a portable I can turn the mouse off first then either use the trackpad to put it to sleep or just close the lid.

Can you turn off the auto scroll up feature??

Can you turn off the auto scroll up feature on the iPhone??

Like whan you touch the black bar at the top of the screen with the time and the battery percentage and all that...the screen will scroll all the way back to the top. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that off

Anyone else have a problem with Magic mouse scroll after Maverick update?

Now I have upgraded to Maverick (among other minor things) my Magic Mouse scroll often doesnt work unless I close the application it stopped working in and open it again.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? was there any worthwhile reason to update?

This has happened to me, in fact, why I'm even searching in here...I need help too to fix it! It's so annoying!

Where is in OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the Magic Mouse scroll.

I have not found anymore on OS X Lion the option to turn on or off the vertical scroll of Magic Mouse. The problem is That I use Corel Draw with Parallels, and Corel Draw does not work with the scroll on, he gets mad. I always turn off the scroll option of Magic Mouse in OS X Leopaed before entering Windows XP. Now I had to put a conventional mouse and stop using the Magic Mouse because I dont find this option in the settings of the mouse preferences.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Many Thanks

... does my iMac model... support Hibernatemode 3 alias "Safe Sleep" to protect my Mac against damages due to power outage?
You can set hibernate mode to 3, but it seems to me its only benefit could be if power were to be lost after the iMac was already sleeping. Sleepimage is written to disk prior to system sleep. If your iMac lost power while it was "awake" you would certainly lose any unsaved work no matter what hibernate mode you choose.
The problem is that an iMac without power no longer sleeps, it's dead. Upon restoring power you need to cold boot, and I seriously doubt sleepimage can be forced to load in that event. Sleepimage is loaded upon wake from "safe sleep", not from boot as far as I know.
It is simple enough for you to try, so go ahead and see if it does what you want. Other than creating a 16 GB sleepimage file it did not appear to do anything beneficial on the iMac I am using though (a later model).
The file location is /private/var/vm/sleepimage
Configure hibernatemode, verify the file is created, do some work on your Mac, don't save it to disk (and don't use Pages or similar app that saves work on its own), let it sleep, then pull the plug. I think you will see what I mean.

Magic Mouse Scroll Idea for Apple

I love using the new Magic Mouse and the Scroll feature is wonderful.
Having said that, it creates havoc in Photoshop as any movement of your fingertip when a zoomed window size creates scroll bars makes the cursor jump. So when using Photoshop, I open System Prefs and turn Scrolling off. Easily accomplished, but a nuisance.
I would like to see Apple ad an option in Mouse Preferences to "Turn Off Scrolling" in Specific Applications (ala like using Spaces, Firewall, etc. where we define specific Apps)

My magic mouse scrolling is stuttering in safari 5.0.5. Can anyone help?

Hi all,
This has been a problem for a while now but am finally getting around to do something about it. I've increasingly noticed that when scrolling in Safari 5.0.5 it becomes stuttery/jittery using the magic mouse.
I've updated everything (OS, updates etc...) to the latest versions, have plenty of space left on my HD.
Does anyone have suggestions to get it fixed? Smooth scrolling is selected in mouse preferences.
Kind regards,
Jack

Same problem here. As well, every few minutes, the mouse doesn't scroll at all until I've scrolled up and down two or three times. Other forums have posts about this problem, too. Things that didn't help:
• quitting/restarting Safari
• restarting
• resetting PRAM
• turning off smooth scrolling
The problem occurs independently of:
• Flash websites
• complex pages
• currently loading pages (active, or background tabs)
• any other wireless activity

Is it possible to disable the magic mouse scrolling in windows 7?

I've partitioned my hard drive with bootcamp to run windows 7 for a handful of games that aren't mac friendly. The problem is that once I installed the drivers to use the magic mouse, the scroll keeps jumping around at inconvenient times while I'm playing which makes it pretty difficult. How can I turn the scrolling off? I like having the scroll on the trackpad, but I only want the left and right click on the mouse.

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

Magic Mouse (Scrolling and Swiping)

I know this has been asked several times, but I have gone through most of the posts to try and find a solution, and nothing has helped.
I initially lost scroll and swipe about 6 months ago, and ended up downloading MagicDriver (which has now expired and will not be developed any further). That was a solution for the time being. I've killed off the USBdriver file, I've reset everything I could reset, I've even gone so far as to buy a NEW magic mouse, thinking perhaps my "old" one was having issues.
But, I'm still unable to scroll or swipe.
I've tried turning my mouse on and off, and now it won't even connect to the computer... I'm kind of at a loss for what to do at this point.

I have had all the slow and other cursor problems described and was becoming desperate with withdrawal symptoms having had to use a wired standard WIndows mouse.
PROBLEM SOLVED - I noticed horizontal scrolling had improved whereas vertical was still appalling.
CLEANED THE MOUSE LENSES with spectacle cloth and cleaning fluid - cloth dampened.
Everything now BEAUTIFUL! and I am able to do amazing things having set up variousa options with MagicPrefs

Magic Mouse: Scrolling/Swiping not working

I just bought a Magic Mouse for my MacPro. I downloaded and installed "WirelessMouseSoftware.dmg"
Got it BT connected, but the multitouch surface doesn't works. I can't scroll or swipe or anything as it should do.
Any tips for such problem?
Thanks

Alrighty, it looks like I have figured out the source of the problem. The program is called "USB Overdrive." What I did was went under System Preferences, and did a right-click on the USB Overdrive to remove the item from my computer. Turns out that that is not enough. The main problem is inside Extensions. Click on the Apple at the top of the screen, and go to About This Mac. Then, go to more options, and go under software, and then under Extensions. It should take about 10 seconds to load. Once that is done, scroll down to near the bottom of the list, and if you see one called USBOverdrive then open up a new window in Finder. Click on Macintosh HD, and then go to System, then Library, and then Extensions. Find the one called USBOverdrive.kext and drag it to the trash. You may have to enter the admin password to allow Finder to make changes. Empty the file from the trash and restart the computer, and get rid of the mouse from Bluetooth prefs, and then pair it again. That should solve the problem. By the way if you don't have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) run a system update, and if not, then buy a copy, it's well worth the cost.
