Q: Recently purchased late 2014 mac mini models. It is current with Yosemite. The magic mouse 2 works well but we can not get it to scroll left or right up or down. We have searched the internet with nothing working that way too.

Magic Mouse 2 will not scroll up down left or right. Running late model Mac Mini 2014 with Yosemite.

We have tried reading online but nothing has worked.

    You need to use OS X El Capitan to have full feature functionality with your Magic Mouse 2 (MM2). I believe the boxing clearly states as a requirement OS X El Capitan (10.11 or later).

     

    This link on Apple's website gives you what the system requirements are for your MM2.

    Magic Mouse 2 will not work fully with Yosemite.   It says on the box 'For OS X 10.11.1'   You will have to upgrade to El Capitan to use it in all its glory.

    Other users had noted similar issues as you mention, and suggestions to upgrade to El Capitan

    seemed to resolve them; perhaps in fact due to later drivers for peripherals are include in 10.11.

     

    Did you try the System Preference setting for mouse behaviour, tracking, and others? To say

    you've 'tried everything' says little in exact terms; in effect, may cartwheeling or chants, help.

     

    Your mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side

     

    • If your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad aren't working as expected - Apple Support

     

    A test would be to try a third-party scroll-wheel multi-button mouse, many do not require drivers;

    this allows you to proceed to see if you may want to update or upgrade. A workaround to mouse.

     

    {PS: Delays in appearance of hidden answers leave me to seek an oracle or precognition software

    so as to not re-tread a well paved path. I'd try a mouse-in-a-box or other generic product first. There

    were no replies in evidence when I began.}

     

    Good luck & happy computing!

    I apologize. My firehouse just purchased these computers. I thought that they were all up to date and ready to go because they were already installed. It appears that they have not been updated or truly set up. I will work on it then post if they work after that. Thanks sorry bout misinforming you.
