Why are my magic mouse settings reseted sporadically after a newstart

Hallo,
sporadically after a newstart of my mac mini with mountainlion the mouse settings from my magic mouse are reseted.
So that I have to configure the cursorspeed and horizontal scroll direction again.
Is there anybody who has got an idea about that?
Thx.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try deleting the mouse settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart.
Finally, change the mouse settings on System Preferences > Mouse, and check if they are saved

    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.

  • 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.

    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? 

  • MacOSX forgetting Magic Mouse settings after restart

    Hello together,
    since today my MacOS X (MacBook Pro, 10.6.6, early 2011) seems to forget my Magic Mouse movement settings every time I restart OSX and after waking up from sleep mode. The settings are always put to minimum automatically.
    Every time I have to fix it in the System settings.
    I have already repaired the HDD access rights and set the Magic Mouse to Favorite. Without effect to the problem.
    Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for this problem and how to solve it?
    Thanks and Regards

    Manuel,
    Try going into System Prefs->Accounts. Unlock it. Look in "Login Items" and delete MagicPrefs application. Restart your computer. It worked for me...

  • 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? :/

  • User mouse settings reset on each login

    Hi there,
    A little while ago I set my wife up with her own user account on my 2011 27" iMac (running Maverick). I went in and changed the wireless mouse preferences (specifically enabled the right-click function). Each time she logs out and logs back in to her account the mouse preferences have reset. Is there some way to set it so that the mouse preferences, once changed, remain changed?
    Thanks.

    Because I do not use Mavericks I cannot relate exactly to the problem, however, I notice the following and wonder how far down this line you have progressed.
    Systems Prefs > Mouse > Go to purple ? in bottom r/h corner) > Using an Apple Magic Mouse > Related topics > setting up wireless keyboard and mouse > Related topics >  (in blue, bottom of page) click on Bluetooth.   There you will find a long list of items, hopefully that includes one that will apply to your problem.

  • Why does my magic mouse button and scroll surface not work?

    My MacBook Air 13" ran out of power before I could connect it to a power source. After I was able to power it on again, the Magic Mouse button and scrolling surface could no longer work even though I could still use the optical pointer below to move the cursor. How can I restore the button and scrolling surface. Have tried powering down and up both the MacBook Air as well as the mouse. Also tried unpairing and re-pairing both but nothing works so far. Thanks.

    Have you tried to edit your settings in Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse?

  • Can't Change Magic Mouse Settings

    I just got my new Magic Mouse in the mail today. I paired it with my MacBook with no problem. The thing is, when I go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Bluetooth, my mouse isn't listed. If I pair my Mighty Mouse, it is. But that Magic Mouse is not.
    I really want to set up scrolling and gestures, but right now I can only click! Am I looking in the wrong place? Did I miss a step?

    I agree with the tracking speed. I had to drag slider for speed to max in mouse configuration.
    Whenever I plan to play Windows games that utilize mouse's wheel, I have to switch mouse to one with wheel.. I have to reset the slider back to default every time I switch. Otherwise, Mr Flash likes that setting!
    @Apple: Can you provide update with official tweak so the default tracking speed is how it should be? Much appreciated!

  • 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 battery life draining rapidly?

    I am using the mouse with a apple wireless keyboard which is 100% (battery) but the magic mouse is 83%.

  • Why is the Magic Mouse slow and impressive on Mavericks?

    After upgrade to Mavericks, the Magic Mouse become slow and Impressive. This doens,t happened on Mountain Lion.
    I did a clean installation and the batery of Magic Mouse is full!

    Did you post from the system that has the problem? (Your "More System Details" list shows Flash 11.7 instead of 11.8 for some reason.)
    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash ''(I see from your post that you've done this part)''
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

  • 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?

  • Why does my Magic Mouse keep losing connection?

    I've had my Magic Mouse for about 6 months now. I use it with my MacBook Pro RD. It works fine most of the time but every now and then it would lose connection for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. This happens even with newly replaced batteries so I know it's not a battery problem. I really expected better from what I thought would be a high quality mouse from Apple.
    I am thinking of sending it back to be repaired or something, but when I entered its serial number to check the warranty status, I get the error "We're sorry, but this serial number is not valid. Please check your information and try again." In fact, the serial number printed on my mouse's battery compartment has 17 characters but the support page here only allows you to enter a 14-character serial number! What is going on?

    I was having the same problem and found another thread with the solution. Basically the problem is some batteries do not fit tightly in the compartment and jiggle around causing the mouse to lose power and therefore the connection. The solution is either buy the apple rechareable batteries or wedge a piece of paper in between the batteries and the compartment lid (I used a bit on an index card fold over on itself). Once I did that = no more lost connection every 10 minutes.
    The thread I'm referring to is here:

    Posting in case someone else (like I did) comes here looking for an answer.

  • Why does the magic mouse battery level drop suddenly?

    I typically get, oh, about 3 weeks off of a pair of AA alkaline 1.5V batteries on my magic mouse.
    What I don't understand though is not really being able to track the battery level in the bluetooth menu on my iMac 21.5".
    The battery level even now is at 100%. What happens is is that it stays at 100% for several weeks and then all of a sudden drops to 7% or so, and I get a low battery warning. Then after a couple of days the battery will drain out.
    After it drops down to 7% I can usually track the battery drain in the menu. But I never see it at 90% or 80% or 50%, etc. It just drops down suddenly near the end of the battery life.
    Do other people see more continuous changes of the battery level?
    The same thing happens with my bluetooth Apple keyboard that came with the iMac. Right now it is showing a level of 100%. It typically lasts for months instead of weeks, but I will never see an in-between battery level value until I get a low-battery warning.
    I'm thinking of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse. But I see too many negatives posted here in the forums about that, so I am hesitant about investing in those batteries and a charger if it's not going to work well.
    Thanks,
    doug

    Maybe it's a Mac model issue? I'm running the late 2009 model, purchased in February 2010, and running Lion.
    But I've never seen the battery level display in-between values.
    Here's what it is showing now and I replaced the batteries over a week ago.
    Do your batteries also last a few weeks in the magic mouse?
    Thanks,
    doug

  • Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

    I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked.  I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this.  I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
    Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this.  Thanks!

    Try resetting the PRAM.
    Shut down your Mac.
    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 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.
