How to fix randomly stuck Magic Mouse after Sonoma M1 Pro update

Yes, that's right, Apple is getting worse and worse step by step. But because they are so big, they laugh at people like us who realize this. They couldn't care less.

Unfortunately, the only thing they can think of is to make everything more and more complicated. Even more functions and even more functions, but keeping the old ones. When I look at Apple's system settings now, there is hardly any difference to Windows.

Until two or three years ago, I converted countless people and persuaded them to use Apple. I haven't been doing that for a long time now.

And me taking the time to write this is a waste of time. I did it anyway! Haha

Hey chdsl! No one have to force us to use whats available on our system(Macbook) - the point is once update is out to main customers it should NOT create problems, instead it should fix them. I know Apple will fix this one at some point as MaxieMax mentioned, but currently at my programming job this is very frustrating as the tool(Macbook) we use is buggy which slows down our development process.

I have the same exact issue but it seems like somehow related to the Pointer Acceleration. You can disable it on the mouse settings but it is horrible. Anyway, apple should fix it ASAP. It's extremely annoying and please fix the QA process. So many bugs lately. Unbelievable :((((

I'm experiencing the same issue with both the Magic Mouse, and I'm also encountering occasional freezes that appear to be linked to the mouse cursor. I've recently updated to Sonoma 14.1 as well.

Safari uses too much resources?

I find it the lightest of them all. I have a few other web browsers, Vivaldi, Opera and some Mozilla based ones, but practically never use them now.

This is with more than 10 tabs open.

Come on we are not PC users... Mac is not made to keep restarting like PC.

Apple should fix the bug that is it.

This is not a mouse/trackpad issue. I just updated to Sonoma on my MacBookPro and it happens on the bluetooth mouse and track pad. It's an OS issue. Very frustrating.

Please try what I wrote. Go to mouse settings and turn off all options also further setting options. Turn them off and on or on and off. After I did this my mouse working goog.

This is also happening to me and I don't use Magic mouse - just using laptops trackpad and it gets stuck randomly in any workspace, so to make it work again I need to somehow minimise the screen and then expand it again and then it starts to work for a while. It has to be something in this update because it was not the case before.

Chdsl, The point being when people invest the money they do in Apple products for their business or personal use then they should expect the same issues to come up after every major release!! Don't get me wrong I am invested in the whole Apple ecosystem both at Home and in my business as they make the best products for sure.... just a shame they keep making the same issue again and again.... I have no doubt it will be resolved in the near future in a discreet update with no mention of the error but in the meantime it is extremely frustrating.

You can't use"ifs" and "buts"...

It is not fair to blame the new OS.

If you've taken part of the Beta program, you wouldn't say things like that. You'd have caught the problem beforehand. Anyway, the mouse "problem" is how the user uses the accessory, not the OS problem.

There's nothing wrong with the Magic Mouse, neither with the in-built trackpad.

Seriously you just seem to be lacking the basic understanding of this issue....

To answer your question Nobody!!! BUT just like if someone bought a new car they would expect the engine to work.... IF someone did buy a new Mac, Or someone upgraded to the new shiny OS that Apple are promoting then it is not unreasonable to expect it to work as expect.

Anyway I will leave you to bumble through life. All the best

Neither the MacBook nor the new MacOS is buggy. It is your MacBook and/or your mouse/trackpad are faulty. It is how you use your devices. We here cannot correct the MacOS, for it is not open source. Contact Apple with your complains.

My MBP is 4 1/2 years old, went through few new MacOSs and still doing quite well with Sonoma 14.1 The internal trackpad, keyboard and the Magic Mouse doing very well too. I am going to by an external Magic Trackpad too in a few days, just for fun and for usage. And, by the way, I've never been a customer of Apple.
