macOS Monterey 12.0.1 & Magic Mouse / Calendar Issues

Has anyone experienced the following since upgrading to macOS Monterey 12.0.1?


I have a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro and since upgrading when I return to my Mac after taking a break, when I wake the laptop using the mouse, I notice that I cannot scroll with the mouse (Apple Magic Mouse) unless I turn the mouse off and on again. Track pad works fine all the time, just the Magic Mouse is an issue.


Secondly, since upgrading my Calendar app now takes up to 30 seconds to open. Whether it's related I have also seen problems with the calendar apps on iPad and iPhone (and widgets too) - so maybe it's just a bug in the calendar app. I have tried unticking each calendar and restarting the app to no avail.


Anyone?


Cheers, Mark.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Yay, Mark! You found the bug and the fix. Albeit temporary. I upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1 overnight and was mortified that nothing would scroll. I'm actually on hold right now with Apple tech support and escalating this up to another tech. For now, I can be productive with the Magic Mouse. Turn OFF and ON the switch returns the scroll function to all programs and browsers.

I have a 2020 M1 Mac Mini and am having similar issues with my Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard after upgrading to Monterey. When my I try to login in from sleep, the mouse is frozen and the keyboard is non-responsive, except for the "ESC" key which seems to take me out of login. Then when I click my mouse again, everything seems to respond. I opened a case with Apple and they had me edit the Bluetooth plist....did not work....then they had me do a clean reinstall...ALSO DID NOT WORK...I even purchased a Logitech 2.4 wireless keyboard and mouse to test and was having similar issues with other input devices.....I agree Apple needs to fix this ASAP. This is so annoying and frustrating.

My Magic Mouse is behaving as it should more often now, but now always. Too often I have to use my old corded mouse to disconnect Bluetooth, turn off the mouse, turn Bluetooth back on, and turn the mouse back on. So far this has solved the problem and is only a minor annoyance, but it is an annoyance. Apple prides itself on perfection. They can do better.

I have 7 Mac Pro's (the professional unit that people say looks like a cheese grater) at work and they all have the same mouse stutter, or the loss of movement left and right. I had a mouse replaced for one of the units. The problem is still there. I also own a 2 week old iMac (24", M1) that is also having the same issue. All computers are running the most current OS available from Apple. If 8 units are having the same problem, even with a mouse exchange which would make 9 mice in total, and the fact that 2 different models are involved, 1 being a professional unit, it boils down to a software glitch. When video editing is on a deadline, this mouse issue is truly problematic. It was also discovered that with the OS updates, both the Mac Pro's and the iMac will not eject and release a G-Technology external hard drive using a Thunderbolt 3 connection. Seagate drives do not have this problem. To release the drives you must either log out of your account or totally shut down the computer....another time waster. Apple, PLEASE, find the solutions.
