the mouse click refuses to register half the time. It usually takes two or three times to get it to recognize. I know others have had this issue. Anybody find a way to resolve this? or heard about any fixes on this from Apple? Any help would be appreciated. This is really messing up my computing experience to the point that I want to throw it out the window like my old dell computers.

Seriously? This must be a joke, right? I mean, they offer a device totally dependend on rechargable batteries (if I don't want to pollute the environment like crazy buying one time batteries every week). And next Apple says those rechargable batteries cannot fall below 50% of charge?
Fools! This needs to be fixed.
Try adjusting the speed of mouse clicks; Sys Prefs >> Universal Access >> Mouse & Trackpad >> Mouse Options.

I'll try that but I don't think that's the problem
I don't use rechargeable batteries and keeping the battery level above 50% isn't a solution. That's avoiding the problem. thanks though. I see others in the community are having the same issue and no solution yet.
I'm having the same problem – VERY often since installing Lion my Magic Mouse won't register clicks. I have to double-click, and sometimes even triple-click, links on websites for example, looking like a fool. It's driving me insane! Surely Apple must have come up with a solution to this by now, but I can't find any information about it!?
Maybe 10.7.2 will solve this? Isn't that coming today?
Same here. It's driving me crazy. It's not fixed in 10.7.2. Is this only with the magic mouse?
It is driving me crazy too....
Apple fix this....
Do you by any chance have MagicPrefs installed? Since disabling MagicPrefs clicking and scrolling works fine for me! Seems it wasn't Apple's fault after all, at least not in my case - should have figured 🙂
****...
Thanks a lot lottaar.
You know it's funny...I didn't use MagicPrefs, but i had a similar Pref Pane installed called Jitouch.
I even installed the beta they claim that works with Lion....
As soon as i uninstalled it, my mouse works fine again.
What's even funnier, is that the Jitouch pref Pane has an on off switch,
Pressing the off switch, didn't actually worked!!
It had to be uninstalled.
Thanks for your post though, i appreciate it...
I now have only one utility that alters the OS: DefaultFolder. I have removed all others (some are Haxies) to reduce instability in Lion, which is unstable enough without any help from software that alters the OS!
Since upgrading to Lion, Magic Mouse clicks will not register half the time.
