Magic Mouse swipe stopped working

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid, no other mice listed.

The problem also prevents 3 finger swiping on the late 2008 unibody MacBook.

Magic Mouse is the only one present. Deleting any .plist files, restoring SMC and switching between GPUs doesnt help any more. There is a glitch within the Magic Mouse driver which affects the mouse and the trackpad.

As if by magic, mine has just fixed itself. Three finger swiping on the MacBook trackpad and 2 finger swiping on the Magic Mouse has been restored.

No system updates, nothing. Didn't even touch the plist files.

Magic indeed!

And the solution is?

No other mice listed for me.

A reboot fixed it for now. Looking forward to the new driver -- love the mouse, but it's annoying when you no longer can navigate back/forward.

Yes, the only solution I can seem to find is to reboot when swiping fails.

The same problem here - swipe stopped working, nothing helps. Apple?...

This problem has also happened to me. I have the MacBook Pro 13 inch - June 2009 version, a 24 inch Apple Display and the Magic Mouse and Bluetooth Apple Keyboard.

There doesn't appear to be any obvious trigger for this loss of functionality. It can be working fine and then in the next minute it just stops allowing me to use the 2 finger swipe on Magic Mouse and the 3 finger swipe on the MBPs trackpad.

What makes it more frustrating is that rebooting the MBP sometime seems to fix this temporarily and other times it does not fix it. Now, for example, I have just booted up afresh and the swipe feature does not work on the mouse or trackpad.

I can only assume this is therefore a significant issue that is effecting all if not most Magic Mouse users. In which case, how do we get this issue raised with Apple?

Think the only option is to phone them, as they don't provide a feedback link on for this product (very annoying!!!)

I've been lucky - mine simply 'fixed itself' - although for all I know the problem could come back again.

I'm doubtful this affects a great deal of users - I'm pretty sure this thread would be a lot longer by now (and there would be far more buzz about it on the rest of the internet). So for now, we are the lucky few!

I have the same problem, and I'm pretty sure it's Bluetooth related. Using an external BT Receiver fixed the problem, for a while. Now stuck again. Very annoying, no clue on the interwebs (SMC, reset, oher bluetooth mice, delete pres etc. didn't help). Work fine on my Air, though.

I bought two of these mice and am (as happening very often lately) less than impressed by the product. It's not exactly a 5$ honkong gadget.

apple needs to know about this... keep thread going

Same here. 3-days into ownership of new 21.5" iMac, and poof! Worked in the evening, was gone in the morning after shutting down the computer... I will follow this thread for more permanent solutions...

Hi guys,

I have fixed the problem by simply reinstalling the drivers. I had thought that the problem would return the following day but it didnt. I have just installed the 10.6.2 and its still working fine, hopefully permanently. The 10.6.2 does mention an issue with a 4 finger swipe being fixed.

Regards

I installed 10.6.2 and the mouse works correctly, again. Will update if it fails in the future...
