Where are magic mouse gestures in iPhoto?

Before lion upgrade, a two finger swipe would allow you to switch between photos in iPhoto '11. This no longer seems to be the case. Any thought on how to enable this (similar to the new gesture in Safari, one finger swipe to go back or fwd).

One 3rd party solution would be to use Better Touch Tool and define a gesture for iPhoto only. Works well. Still, I feel your frustration with Apple for not making these gestures more universal.

Apple magic mouse gestures on Lion

Hi all
I just checked in this forum but didn't found a clear answer so I ask this question
Are the Apple magic mouse gestures working on Mac OS Lion ?
I just bought one 2 days ago and even recognized and in Preference panel all necessary check boxes checked no way to have the gestures working.
Thanks
Regards
BKantique

Sorted !!!!
I go back to the retailer and change the mouse and then once installed the new mouse doh !! still nothing..
After looking around in several forums about Lion issue suddenly I remember of a software I installed some months ago which is taking in charge USB (USB overdrive) and once inside I discovered that the mouse was attached to it...
Then I uninstall this software and restart my MBP and now my mouse works perfectly well all gestures supported, battery level shows and so on .....
What a waste of time but it's my fault just install this software in order to use a game pad which didn't worked and even with this software still continue to not being recognize by my games.... so loss for me to uninstall it anyway..

Magic mouse gestures mountain lion

whats happened to magic mouse gestures on mountain lion...i can't even scroll up or down a web page with my magic mouse now....

OK. I found the fix for the problem!
You need to reset the PRAM and SMC... I just did that and it completely fixed the problem.

Are there mouse gestures (forward/back) for Safari like in Firefox?

I like using Safari 4, but one of the things that takes me back to Firefox are the most gestures (especially forward and back).
Are there mouse gestures I can download for Safari 4?

Sorry, you can't do that in Safari. You'd have to use a third-party program for that (xGestures; $5), which you can get here: http://alum.hampshire.edu/~bjk02/xGestures/index.htm

Problem with magic mouse gestures in safari

iMac 27", mid 2011
16 GB 1333Mhz
Using OS X Yosemite, Safari, Magic Mouse
one day no problem at all, the next day, without any new installations:
Whenever I use the swipe gesture to go back to a previous page,
It does not work and I cannot scroll on this page anymore.
Shutting down Safari and restarting it works.
I read a lot about this, it seems to be a known problem.
I did not use terminal to use direct command for remedy, but tried everything else I read:
power own the mouse, taking battery out, switching off BT for Mouse, several restarts of the iMac etc.
Nothing helps.
As I am so used to the gestures for a very long tome, it takes only seconds, before I swipe back-- and that´s it!
I have to restart Safari.
I would be very thankful for your help!
best,
Fred

Re: Magic Mouse Scrolling Issuein response to Linc Davis
Hi Linc
Thank you for the extremely detailed response.
I think I have the issue solved for the minute at least.
I not only disconnected every cable from the Mac, as I had previously done, I also disconnected every cable from my peripherals and powered down every peripheral as well, then re-wired my set-up. This seems to have solved the issue. Not sure of the technical reason that this would have fixed my problem, but it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment anyway.
So, my problem is solved too!!
Many thanks

Magic mouse gestures not working

Hi,
the gestures of my magic mouse stop working.
I've tried another mouse on my laptop and it work
I also tried my mouse on another laptop and the same problem happens.
it's behaving like a "normal" mouse.
Is this a hardware problem? if yes, How do I fix it?
Please advise,
CM

Reset the SMC and PRAM, it make take 2-3 attempts to fully clear them. If those do not work restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Magic Mouse gestures settings

Hi,
My magic mouse connects to my MBP and the cursor works, but the mouse settings window is the old one and i can not activate gestures for the mouse.
I´ve tried to reset PRAM and SMC with no effect.
Tried magicprefs.app with no effect.
Anyone got some suggestions for me?

Found the solution.
I have earlier installed usb overdrive, but this was removed.
Install the new version, and then unistalled it again, then the settings window is back to normal.

No, but let me know if you find a way!!

Where are RAW files kept in iPhoto?

I just recovered a bunch of photos from an SD card I accidentally erased. (Eh, they were just my 17-month year old's first Christmas Eve with Santa, no big deal, right?) Thankfully, I was able to recover them using a utility called CardRaider. (Worth every friggin' cent of the $17.99 it cost me.) But now I have a folder full of NEF files, which are the RAW images. I'd like to keep them with all the rest of my iPhoto files, but I can't seem to track them down. Where can I stash these files to keep them with the other thousands of RAW files I have?

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then all of your imported photos are copied bit for bit into th eiPhoto library and can be accessed at any time by exporting them with kind = original
To see your RAW photos make a smart album with kind = RAW

Where are my old pictures on iphoto?

I frequently import my pictures to iphoto as backup, but today when i tried to look at my pictures from few months ago i cannot seem to find them on iphoto, i can only see the most recent imports, just a month worth of photos.

Sorry - but we have no idea what you have, what you are doing or what has changes on your system - we only know what you tell us so to get assisstance you need to give details - not just a very abstract prpoblem with no context
the basic answer is that when you launch iPhoto it opens the default iPhoto library and displays all photos in it - if something different is happening then details are needed to be able to help

Where are the mouse and keyboard settings stored

I reinstalled the OS, and cleared the PRAM and NVRAM. The Mac still recognises the Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard. How do I reset them?
thanks

Hi alienvoord-
Some of the settings are stored in NVRAM.
Have you tried pulling the batteries out of the mouse and keyboard for a few minutes and see if that does it?
Are you trying to un-pair devices? Why not just delete them in the BlueTooth preferences?

Where are my 'mouse and keyboard' preferences?

Hi,
Since I updated my macbook from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2, I am not able to change the 'mouse and keyboard' settings. The mouse pointer has become very slow when I use the trackpad. All I wanted to do was to increase the pointer's speed.
If I click on 'System Preferences' and 'keyboard and mouse', it tries to open that option, but it never does. It says 'loading keyboard and mouse'. Then if I click there again, I get an empty 'keyboard and mouse' windong. This means that I am NOT able to make any changes. What's going on?
Thanks,
Michael

How to set up gesture on Magic Mouse for Launchpad ?

I wonder is there any gesture to open Launchpad on the Magic Mouse like on the Magic Trackpad ???

...which suggests the answer to your original question is 'no'!
If you want to use LP with a mouse, you'll need to click it from the Dock icon or Applications folder.
You could try 3rd party tools, like Better Touch Tool, which has some support for Magic Mouse gestures, but I don't use it myself so couldn't say whether that includes support of an LP gesture. Still, its free to try out, so easy to find out (let us know if it does!).

Magic Mouse and Employing Pinch to Open and Close Feature

I have purchased a magic mouse and would like to employ the "pinch to open & close" features (option on multi-touch trackpad) with the magic mouse. This is not the same as zoom (e.g. hold control key with mouse wheel).
I have tried using bettertouchtool and magicprefs, but it appears that neither accommodates this feature easily. If there were a keyboard shortcut to employ this feature then I think I can assign it to a magic mouse gesture via BTT or Magic Prefs, but I cannot find such a keyboard shortcut.
Does anyone have any ideas?

It could be you are approaching it incorrectly.   It can be a tricky little gadget that actually works with minimal pressure.
Try turning over the mouse so the compartment panel faces you, optical sensor topmost. Then holding the mouse at each side but not on the panel itself, flick the small, black rectangular panel downwards.   The top of the panel should spring out, though it may require you to manipulate it fully away from the mouse.
Once you have replaced the batteries, starting at the bottom reverse the procedure then clip into place.   Remember to move the small switch next to the optical sensor upwards which should turn on the green light.   Then click twice to connect.
