Magic mouse problems

When clicking on a link or just trying to type my mouse sometimes takes many trials before he establishes a connection, it's very frustrating. Sometimes if I want a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, etc. it's my first MAC with my first real questions. If I have a click right or left clicking on it brings up messages or suggestions... I have to keep clicking on leave etc page I'm on so he could finally take action.

any help is appreciated and please don't be too technical with any help, I'm not tech savvy, please I need simple instructions.

Thanks for any & all help

  • Persistent problems with the Magic Mouse

    I have persistent problems with my Magic Mouse. He often stops followed (i.e. the cursor on the screen does not move when I move the mouse), or the input button on malfunctions (i.e. I don't click and drag, or cannot right click, or when I click on something and that you hold the button down it doesn't "stick").

    I called Apple and they took me through all the troubleshooting steps (reset the SMC, PRAM, etc.) and I finally get a new mouse. I got a new and have exactly the same problems!

    The ONLY thing that solved the problem by restarting the computer, or logging in and out. But the problem then begins again after anywhere from a few minutes to a few days (the most often within hours).

    Any ideas?

    Here is more information in case it is useful:

    • I plugged a wired Logitech mouse, and to my surprise, it also does not work. I thought that the problem was related to the wireless/Bluetooth connection, but this clearly isn't.
    • I have a Wacom tablet attached to my computer, and it works very well, no matter if it has connected (via USB dongle) wireless or wired (via USB).

    There seems to be something wrong with any particular software/system control the mouse.

  • Magic mouse after Sierra update problems

    Hello

    Are there other people who have problems with their magic mouse in Photoshop and Illustrator after the update of the Sierra?

    It seems that my mouse has become more sensitive waaaayy.

    It makes it nearly impossible to zoom with precision and to move objects while now shift.


    This was not the case with El Capitan.

    I checked my settings but nothing weird here.

    Just installed the latest Macos update and Adobe apps are finally working properly!

  • the magic mouse disconnects regularly

    Since last week my Magic Mouse is losing connection with my iMac (OS X Sierra) pretty regularly--several times each hour, sometimes more often - the connection is only lost for 5-10 seconds, but it's a lot of time when you're trying to work. Anyone else had this problem and had been able to find a solution?

    If your Magic Mouse is version 1 (with batteries), it won't be to fully integrate with Sierra.   You can buy Magic Mouse 2 for that.   Because all future operating systems need, you may as well buy now.

  • After the update of Sierra: not to Disable Trackpad with Magic Mouse connected

    Hello

    After that I updated to macOS Sierra on my MacBook Pro the Trackpad is not disable mouse connected with Magic.

    Feature: MacBook Pro retina 15 inches (end of 2014) on macOS Sierra.

    Since the update, I noticed that my stays compatible with my Magic Mouse connected after built-in trackpad window connection.

    In system-> accessibility-> mouse and Trackpad preferences, I have not "ignore the built-in trackpad when mouse or trackpad wireless is present". If I switch it off and on again once again, the parameter will be.

    However, once I lock the device (user name right-> connection... window) and reconnect, the trackpad works. You must pass the parameter each time.

    Is this a bug of Mac OS Sierra (can't find anything) or am I missing something? I am aware that the trackpad is reactivated at the login window, but before it will deactivate after logging in.

    I don't use Magic Mouse, but I have USB Wired mouse and I have the same problem since installing Sierra.

    I have the box ticked, but I must go and clear the check box and then save.

    I have to use a mouse all the time because my trackpad goes haywire and I wasn't able to find a solution for this. It moves its own and open stuff on its own.

  • Magic Mouse works only with the latest el capitan

    Why Apple is not the problems with El Capitan (10.11.6) and it's Magic Mouse? The only way is connected to my MacBook Pro is to remove the com.app.bluetooth.plist at the end of each session and even that does not always work. When it is finally connected, the mouse connects and reconnects constantly during the session. The mouse is an Apple product, and Apple does not seem to recognize the problem or give anyone a viable solution.

    Determine that the problem is inherent in the software is an act of faith (there is no batches of messages here with the same problem).

    Try resetting the SMC and the NVRAM.

  • Question of sensitivity magic mouse

    Hello

    I have a few problems with my Magic Mouse since the last update OS (Sierra).
    When I'm using programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, it became almost impossible to zoom with precision.
    My screen will zoom 500% with the slightest movement of the finger.
    I move not even my finger, just move the pressure of my finger tip point.

    This was not the case in El Capitan.
    Really hope that this bug gets fixed because it makes these very frustrating easy tasks.

    Since I'm on multiple Adobe programs professionally, I have this problem too in the Sierra.

    It helped me to slow down a little zoom: double click on Adjust and scrolling speed of your mouse or trackpad - Apple Support

    Unfortunately, it is still not as good as he was at El Capitan. I really hope that Apple will fix this bug as soon as possible.

  • Magic Mouse 2 scrolling does not

    I have a magic mouse 2 I have installed on my Windows laptop, 10 but I can't get the scrolling to work, I know there is a way to make it work, but I can't seem to get the mining work like everyone else.  I really want to buy a different mouse.  Can someone please help me and give me the steps in lame terms

    Thank you

    Hello, 4kids4me,

    The magic mouse 2 has been designed for OS El Capitan of Apple and its successors.  It only works partially with older Apple systems.   I often read Windows users, but they almost always have problems and you will understand, Apple adapt their products for Windows users.

    That said, I haven't read more partial workarounds and wonder if the Windows forums could be more productive for you.   Which leads to believe everyone can work with them.

  • Make a right click of the magic mouse has stopped working

    Right click my magic mouse function does not work. Is it a hardware problem or can I fix it myself?

    Which machine do you use?

    What operating system do you use?

    What version of Magic Mouse do you use?

    Please keep in mind that we still need retail in order to answer the questions... otherwise its speculation that helps the person.

  • the magic Mouse loses connection

    I have an iMac 21.5 "running 10.11.6. Recently, I added a to an existing stereo system bluetooth connectivity so I could broadcast on the system. By the way since then I lose my connection to the mouse. I get "connection lost" notification even if the mouse is sitting idle without hands even near him. I tried the suggested pieces of paper, battery replacement and any other thing, I found displayed. Nothing works. As I was typing that I got the message several times, and I'm not even using the mouse! I have another computer in another location and plan to try to see if the problem changes switching. I suspected that the additional bluetooth device could be the culprit, but I tried to unplug and had the same results. It is not a problem with another computer running the same operating system, even if a year or two older hardware. The intermittent mouse problem existed before, but I've lived with him because he doesn't seem to be that bad. Now, I have moved and am in an apartment complex and wonder if there is an interference cause me pain. I do not know to replace the mouse by a non Apple device can solve the problem or if I need to use a WIRED one remedy! The keyboard has never given me problems and with the exception of the low battery notification, it has worked perfectly.

    Hello...

    May be corrupted Bluetooth preferences.

    Open a Finder window. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

    Type or copy paste the following text:

    / Library/Preferences/com. Apple.Bluetooth.plist

    Click OK, and then place the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file in the trash.

  • Magic mouse "summary."

    Only for a few days my Magic Mouse became 'summary' or incompatible with the follow-up.

    I did the "tape/paper" difficulty on batteries, so he no longer has the disconnection problem (at least not often).

    However, it is extremely difficult to simply move the mouse around the screen the speed is not all consistent (going from slow to fast... you have to fight so he can point more precisely what either).

    I tried cleaning the sensor... no change.

    Ideas... ?

    I see that you are on El Capitan (and 10.11.3, not the highest level).  And that is your problem.   You are using a version of Magic Mouse 1 with the latest OS.

    El Capitan requires 2 magic mouse work properly.  Magic mouse 1 will give you a small percentage of what you need, but for full functionality, you need Magic Mouse 2.

    I know that Apple does not tell you this when you were tempted to upgrade, but the new mouse has been designed to work with the new operating system and the operating systems that will follow, such as the Sierra, coming in the fall.

  • Magic Mouse 2 keeps losing connection

    Hi, I use an iMac nine 5 k, v10.11.5 El Capitan

    Whenever I use the mouse will randomly lose connection for about 5-10 seconds and then reconnect. It also happens with the keyboard sometimes. More than 90% battery levels

    Can I do about it? It really disrupts my workflow.

    Thank you

    Hello miles M.

    I'll try to answer your question, but I'll have to make some assumptions.   Unlike many, you have correctly filled out your profile and it helps.

    For example;  I see that in addition to the MacBook Pro (running El Cap), you have an iMac (running El Cap) and a Yosemite iMac running.   They are all in the same room a lot of the time, like when your problem occurs?   Then, the mice.   At least one must be Magic Mouse 2, but it will be Magic Mouse 1.   They are close together?   If one of the above is true, it is most likely that you have an interference problem.   And where the mouse is the problem my assumption is the Magic Mouse 2.

    The first thing to do is to try to isolate the Magic Mouse the part 1.   Turn off the iMac of Yosemite loaded, remove any tablets Wacom and pens and other and tested of the Magic Mouse 2 with the new iMac.

    Now, my imagination is not exact, so where things are differently, let me know so that we can talk our way through it.

  • Magic mouse not recognized not recognized as such

    I buy a Magic Mouse for my MacBook Pro 2, but which is recognized as a normal mouse. I can only move and use the two

    bottons (scrolling and other functions does not work)

    I installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 after formatting. I never use another bluetooth mouse.

    I try to reset the PRAM and SMC but the Magic Mouse does not work. I'm sure the mouse works because I tested it on another Mac.

    When can I solve this problem? Thank you much advantage.

  • Magic mouse, not scroll after sleep

    My magic mouse stopped scrolling when I wake my MacBook to sleep 2016.  I use El Capitan 10.11.5.  The only way to restore full functionality of the mouse is by restarting the computer.  I watched a lot of historic messages with similar problems, but nothing has solved the problem yet.  It's very frustrating.  Any help appreciated.

    But you did not provide key information.   What is a former Magic Mouse 1 or the new Magic Mouse 2?    Now that you have upgraded, the MM1 only partially work with El Capitan.   You will need to buy the new Magic Mouse (MM2) to ensure full functionality with El Cap and his successors.
