Why is my Magic Mouse not scrolling up or down?

Magic mouse points but won't scroll. None of the suggested fixes here work for me.

Same issue as others. I was tired of having to turn the mouse off and back on every time I came back to my Mac. Removing the Magic Mouse from Bluetooth preferences completely resolved the issue for me. I was a little hesitant for fear of not being able to re-pair but it was smart enough to realize I had a Magic Mouse nearby.

1. System Preferences > Bluetooth > Clicked "X" next to Magic Mouse
2. Turned Magic Mouse off using switch on bottom
3. Waited a few seconds, turned Magic Mouse back on using switch on bottom
4. Waited till Mac popped up with an alert that Magic Mouse is connected (I still had Bluetooth preferences at the time but I doubt this made a difference)
5. Be patient during Step 4. It can take a minute to reconnect

Upon reconnecting, the Mouse was immediately scrolling and I had not previously turned it off and back on to get it to scroll again after being asleep. I put the Mac to sleep, woke it back up, and still connecting.

Hope this works for you!

Turning off manually my mac mini did not work for me. Still cannot use the magic mouse full functions.

Lucky you. It's not working form me on my Macbook Pro.

Mine does the same thing. If I turn off Bluetooth then back on it works but only for awhile. I can shut my MacBook and then later open it and the mouse still works. It’s only after many hours that it goes back to not working right. As smart as Apple thinks they are you would think that they could fix something this simple.

I too spent an hour or so with tech support. Solution was to take in the old Magic Mouse and trade it in for a new one, which I did. Same problem with the newer mouse. Seems like Apple is turning their backs on this issue.

I've had this problem since day one of buying the extremely expensive Magic Mouse. The quickest band-aid fix is to click system icon, then bluetooth, then toggle it off then back on. HOWEVER! You have to do it every time after you've closed your MacBook Pro for awhile...come on Apple! You make computers, this can't be that hard to fix! (so much for it being "magic")

So glad I'm not the only person in the universe who's having this issue... Intermittently ( but regularly ) scrolling and swiping just stop working with my mouse in Monterey. Turning the mouse off then back on fixes it until it happens again. Very odd...

Same issue here on my iMac 5K 2019 ... and a Magic Mouse ... please no references to "What to do when keyboard/mouse/etc. are not working as they should" ... Tried it all ... no effect.

Thank you!

its not ideal but a quick fix is to have your lightning cable attached to the Mac and quickly plug in your mouse then unplug it. It reconnects and will scroll again......until the next time

I was on the phone with Apple Support on this issue for 1-1/2 hours. Nothing we tried seemed to have any impact. Once the mac goes to sleep, under Monterey, the only fix appears to be a restart of the computer. That fixes the issue until the next sleep session. However, and here is a fun tip for the rest of you...after that 1-1/2 hours, tech support is sending me a brand new Magic Mouse 2 hoping that a newer unit might work better. If you were me, I'd start calling Apple and requesting a new Magic Mouse 2. Nothing like free stuff to help balm the disappointment of poor OS design. Interestingly, I also notice that with Monterey installed, I have to authorize my computer every single time I log in to this forum (even if it several times a day). Makes you wonder how much testing they do before they shove another operating system out the door.

I have two devices and turn one off and the other on and I'm back in business. I find it completely "un-apple" to have to do this.

I was concerned if I shut off my bluetooth I couldn't use my mouse to set it up again.

HOWEVER, I called tech, and after shutting down (not restart) and manually turning my iMac on again, Bluetooth showed up as "on" in my menu at top. Mouse now scrolls. Maybe Monterrey download missed bluetooth.

I'm having this issue with my 2021 MacBook Air M1 with the Magic Mouse and the built in trackpad. The quick fix is reconnect the Magic Mouse and it works. With the trackpad, I just did the same thing and connect the Magic Mouse and disconnect. There is a weird issue with gestures with macOS Monterey. I'm sure they will have a bug fix update soon. . .

I tried turning the bluetooth off and back on after reading some of the responses here, and voila! It worked. Started scrolling immediately. I assume I will need to keep doing this periodically until this known problem is fixed permanently. Glad I checked--I was getting ready to drive to an Apple Store to have it checked out. Saved me a trip!
