Turning off CMD + SCROLL zooming with Apple Magic Mouse?

Scrolling with Apple's Magic Mouse is extremely sensitive in Fireworks, so sometimes when I use a keyboard shortcut that involves the command key and I accidentally leave it pressed for just a split second after I perform the shortcut and I scroll at the same time, Fireworks will recognize the held-down key as wanting to "scroll'n zoom" and will quickly zoom in way too far/far out, sometimes causing the program to hang for freeze. Has anyone else experienced this and would be able to explain it better? It happens way too much for me. :/

Hi
Same probem is here, suddenly pointer stopped to be active and no tracking at all. All buttons, gestures etc are performing well.
- paired / unpaired > no result
- replaced batteries > no result
- cleaned contacts inside mouse > no result
- cleaned laser > no result
Light is blinking only a few after mouse is connected, and completely stops to blink, while mouse buttons are working.
Tried to find solution on web, does not help much.
Any solution?
Thanks

Google Maps zooms with Apple magic mouse

Ever since I bought the Apple magic mouse, I've noticed that whenever I use Google Maps via my desktop Apple, the map will zoom without me telling it to in street view. This is INCREDIBLY annoying when trying to view a street or move across the map. Anyway one else encounter this issue? Anyone have a solution?

Hey Dogs 'n Front- I have the same problem- I've had a Magic Mouse for years and never had the zoom problem with Google maps up until maybe a year ago?It's actually a fairly common problem that even CNET had an article about it a few years ago- sadly the problem still exists. I have a MacBook Air as well and have no problem with the trackpad scroll zoom and Google Maps, seems the Magic Mouse is just too sensitive...

Horizontal Scroll does not work with Apple Magic Mouse

Horizontal Scroll does not work with Apple Magic Mouse as it does with other Adobe software such as Photoshop.

The system preferences window for the mouse has changed. The GUI elements are different.

Turn off an iPod configured with Apple Configurator and in supervise mode locked to one application.

I have configured an iPod touch using the Apple configurator. The iPod is set in supervisor mode and I have configured it to start one of our own apps. It works ok. But I can't turn off the iPod holding the on/off button as usual. I dont get the turn off slider. I can only turn the display off by clicking on the on/off button.
I want to be able to turn it off completely to save battery.

I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

Inadvertant web page zooming with new magic mouse

Just added a magic mouse to my 2006 mac mini. Now web pages suddenly magnify randomly, and can't get them to return to normal size. How do I correct this?

I've found that (both through personal experience, and seeing reports on the forums) the Magic Mouse has problems falsely detecting the double-tap (which is what has activated the zoom).
You can leave the feature on, and double-tap the mouse to zoom out, or turn off "Double-tap to zoom" in the Mouse preference panel.

How can I turn off dashboard from middle click on magic mouse?

As the title says:
Whenever I have a gesture set up on my magic mouse to hit middle click, it automatically does the dashboard. This I don't want, and I cannot for the life of me work out how the **** to disable the dashboard from middle click.
Any help?
Suresh

I was getting the same problem, I have Jitouch installed, but that really wasn't the issue, it was a setting in the system preferences as sureshk mentioned. It took me a little bit to figure out where the setting is located in case someone else has the same issue.
System Preferences > Expose & Spaces (Snow Leopard & earlier) or Mission Control (Lion & later)
The keyboard and mouse shortcuts are at the bottom. My "Show Dashboard" was set for F12 and Middle Click

How to turn off CTRL+scroll zoom in the grid view of Lightroom?

Please help - I'm working with a big catalogue, where I have to do a lot of scrolling and keywording. I'm new to Windows machine (corporate), and having a problem when I want to hold CTRL and scroll down (to individually select more photos), it only zooms in and out...
Then if I release ctrl, there is always a risk to slip and lose the previous selection. When the workflow is thousands of photos to wade through, it is not fun at all and a waste of time.
There must a be a way of turning it off!
Would appreciate any help.

Hi,
If you wish to keep the CTRL key pressed and scroll up or down a grid list, just use the mouse on the scroll bar on the RH side of the grid.
To zoom you need to press CTRL and +/-.
If you press the CTRL key and try to use the up/down arrow keys to scroll it will increase/decrease the flag status of the currently selected image.

How do I turn off the swipe gesture of the magic mouse?

I found the answer! It was buried in the support community answers and it certainly deserves a repeat:
Download:
http://magicprefs.com/
Once this is downloaded you will find "Magic Prefs" in your system preferences. I unclicked every single box in the "Swipes" tab.

Unchecking all of the checkboxes in the Mouse/More Gestures preference pane didn't do the job for you?

... 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.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox.

How do I turn off "your recent download with your apple id" emails? Annoyingly often and they fill up my inbox. Is there a way to unsubscribe from these?

It is in Settings>iTunes & App Stores to change automatic downloads. But it isn't your device that needs to be changed if you are the one that made the download. He needs to turn off the setting for automatic downloads on his phone. I'm guessing here, but you are all sharing the same Apple ID?

Why can't I scroll only in Safari with my magic mouse

Every so often I can't scroll only in Safari ( Firefox etc. OK) with my magic mouse. I can resolve that by quitting Safari, holding the option key while clicking on Go. This brings up library,click and click on caches. Then click on Apple: safari. Trash the cachesDB and empty trash. Click on Safari and the previously open window comes back up and you can scroll. This lasts an indeterminate amount of time and then freezes again. How can I fix this permanently?

I just turned them off. Will see whether this solves the problem when I can go for days without it freezing. Thanks. One question. Why are the extensions on in the first place?

HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

Thanks varjak paw.
I was afraid this was the case. To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism. That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position. Sad to watch.

My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
Thanks for your reply!

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?
