Jul 25, 2011 5:51 PM in response to CC9799by Barry Hemphill,Hello CC9799:
We both tried. Apparently a host decided to edit the thread (my remarks as well as yours). Your response (and, for that matter mine) were intended to help. Sadly, there are a few people who are so full of themselves they arrogantly dismiss people who volunteer assistance.
Keep posting.....as you see from my little purple dotsI have been doing this for awhile. I should have reminded myself it is sometimes best to just ignore things and move on rather than descend to the level of some people.

Oct 13, 2011 3:47 PM in response to Ruaridh Gallagherby rtm34,Just did the security update, Safari update, iTunes update, and iPhoto update last night, and then today my mouse doesn't work on my mousepad just my desk surface. Although I'm not sure if the software updates are related, I'm wondering if my year-old mouse just has a mechanical problem. Any other ideas?

May 4, 2015 12:36 AM in response to kev5n24by ajay9999,Didn't knew something like this was possible until now,
Having the same problem. Used the mouse on mouse pad and on my bed for as long as 1.5 years.
Was working fine yesterday. Until I woke up in the morning and find out, it doesn't work(movement is too slow and jittery making it impossible to move as desired) on my mousepad or anyplace else other than my wooden desk, which has shiny surface. Weird!I am surprised to see that the Issue was raised as long as 4 years ago, and still doesn't have any valid solution or fix, or at least I haven't found it yet.
Apple, people - please help! -
Apr 20, 2016 12:49 PM in response to kev5n24by benquick84,Was having problems with tracking. I removed the battery cover, took the batteries out, inspected the sensor.
I removed a single strand of trapped hair across the sensor. Works perfectly now. -
Apr 28, 2016 12:56 PM in response to benquick84by empipergear,I did this exact thing! Found an eyelash and removed it and my mouse works perfectly on my mousepad again!

Sep 11, 2016 8:32 AM in response to kev5n24by TeeNado58,I had the same problem. Even though my Apple Mouse 2 is designed to work on hard surfaces (like my barren desk top) - I don't like the noise. So I prefer to and have been using a mousepad for as long as I've had my MacBook Pro. When it suddenly stopped working on the mousepad, I Googled some help and this is where I ended up. The only solution was to ensure the sensors were clean. So I cleaned it with a blast of canned air, and it works on my mousepad once again. I also cleaned the mousepad.
