Magic Mouse swipe stopped working

i have a new mac pro and mine stopped working 1 day after got mouse. updated to new 10.6.2 and still not working. only scroll down and up works

Mine was working fine until I installed 10.6.2, now the magic mouse swipe and all trackpad swipes are broken. I've tried Rebooting, repairing permissions, removing the bluetooth pairing, removing the magic mouse preferences file. Nothing seems to help.

I am seeing a lot of the following message in the system log:

2009/11/10 9:32:55 AM /usr/libexec/hidd[41] IOHIDEventQueueEnqueue: Error enqueuing memory. (0xe00002e8)

Followup: I killed the WindowServer process and everything started working again. Maybe it's a timing issue at startup?

Thanks dunham. That solved the problem for me, but only when I force quit windows_server. Regular quit didn't do the job.

I can confirm that force quitting the window server solves the problem.
If it's only temporary is to early to say.
In my case there were no magic mouse drivers installed prior to the 10.6.2 update.

I really don't think that this question should be regarded as answered since every solution posted here is a workaround!
Apple needs to look in to this more.

Same problem here. Installed the magic mouse yesterday, 2 fingers swipe worked for a moment and it was gone the moment after.
I already was on 10.6.2 and the drivers were all fine when I installed the mouse.
This must be bluetooth related.

Highly doubtful that this is Bluetooth related as the same problem affects three finger swiping on the trackpad.

Another cause that may affect some people: I discovered today, and have posted elsewhere in this forum, that smcFanControl prevents the two-finger swipe from working (at least for me). This effect is stably reproducible. Open and use smcFanControl, or even just look at the settings , no swipe. Close it, swipe returns.

Same issue here, yesterday it worked fine, and today it stopped working. Thought its me screwing up the exact movement, but it just doesnt work.

Meh hopefully they get it fixed soon.

Ok finally a solution.. I fixed my problem..

Now I know people have been discussing different issues regarding the mouse and the reasons why it doesn't work on this thread, however i will tell my side of the story and some of you might resolve your own issues with this method.

So after dealing with this issue for a while, i narrowed it down to my airport.. Whenever the airport is in use via network or high internet traffic the mouse would be sluggish or even loose connection.. When i turn the airport off and plug a cable instead everything was smooth like silk... So after trying every single thing that people recommended on this board, i took my imac in to a apple store (again!!) and surprisingly it worked perfectly. I felt like a idiot and took the computer back home. In the end i decided to move the computer around the house, cause if it worked fine in the apple store maybe it will work fine someplace else in my house.. Figured there might have been some interference from something around my work desk.. So after moving it all over the house i realized that it worked everywhere but on my work desk.. So my final solution was to move my time capsule away from the imac since it was sitting like 5 inches away from it. I moved it about 7 to 8 feet away from the computer and puff.. problem was gone.. Everything works great now! So i guess the time capsule was creating some sort of interference with the bluetooth antenna..

Problem solved.. now moving on to figure out why my windows 7 boot camp crashes after going to sleep... 😟 lol another month most likely... hehehe

Good luck to rest of you

I'm glad your problem is solved, but this thread is about the two finger swipe not working, not a sluggish connection.

So this question is listed as "answered" but it clearly isn't.

Anyway, here is something that fixed it for me, for the time being.

I was thinking about what I changed prior to me losing functionality, and I remembered that I disabled my Airport and hid it from the menu bar. The second I enabled the Airport, I regained the ability to use the magic mouse swipe. I then disabled the Airport and still retained the swipe ability. I will post a follow up the second anything changes. Judging by the other posts here, I'm assuming I will lose swipe functionality again.

I figured I would post this for those who couldn't get any of the other "fixes" to work. Hopefully apple will have a fix for this soon.

I can confirm that two finger swiping function returns for me after Loging out and back in. Which is the same as Force quitting the WindowServer Process. I AGREE that this is a timing issue at startup. Come on Apple.

Can someone tell me how to kill this Windows Server Process?

If I just logout and login in again swipe is working. But after a reboot swipe is gone again. Even if I delete the config file as mentioned on the first page of this thread.

Its very disappointing indeed i bought the new imac and ever since the magic mouse seems to act very odd, at the moment while am typing this message i dont have the swipe function on my magic mouse at all but the scroll works (still doesnt respond to my touch properly) but works, swipe function seems to disappear but its activated on the mouse preferences..any help folks
