'Magic' mouse does not scroll

oh great.... Mine just quit scrolling (it still tracks fine, but the lack of scrolling has proven to be much more of an annoyance and hindrance than i would have guessed). Helluva thing when something this $$ just fails 1/2 the time.

I agree. I bought my mouse this past Saturday and it stopped scrolling on Wednesday. I have tried the restart but frankly, seeing as to how I also bought the laptop on Saturday and had to return it for a new one on Tuesday, this is a dismal outlook for apple. On principle it seems ridiculous I should be messing with PRAM or what nots when the items are brand new. To say that this has been a letdown is putting it lightly.

I fixed this in my Macbook Pro, maybe you have to use another USB mouse to complete the tests.

1. Open "Bluetooth Preferences" and remove Magic Mouse.

2. After, open System Preferences > Mouse > Configure Bluetooth Mouse. (Maybe in this step, the Bluetooth settings are showing you a message to add again the mouse. Click in "cancel" and check the option the said about "ignore this mouse/device").

3. Turn off and turn on your Magic Mouse with the "Configure Bluetooth Mouse" window opened. Your device are appear here. Click in "Continue". Now, you can configure scroll and other settings to your preference.

I hope that helps you.

I get to step two of your instructions and my computer just says "wait for a Bluetooth mouse to be discovered or connected" and it says "no mouse found" so it won't let me configure anything. The magic mouse is charged up too.

Thank you for taking the time to offer help though.

I am just extremely frustrated that something so new is giving so much trouble. I am to the point of tossing this stupid mouse out the window and getting another one. I bet Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave over how much quality had gone down in Apple products. The "brand new MacBook Air" also had to be returned for a new one!

My Magic Mouse 2 is not scrolling. I tried all advices, and it is still not working. It looks like I have to upgrade to El Capitan. Is that true ?

Anyway upgrading to El Crapitan makes my Mac out of order for the Wifi connection and the email, as I head formerly. So I quickly came back to the 10.10.5, with my old batteries Mouse less Magic.

I tried everything in this forum. Nothing works and my magic mouse never scrolled. I recently switched to mac from Windows because I was sick of such problems in Windows. I heard mac hardware and os was more stable.

The original post here is over four years old. Can I suggest you write a new question and post it in this forum. Tell us what version of mouse (1 or 2) you are using, when you bought it, what machine you have and what OS you are using. There are answers tailored to each of these points.

Unless you give us the facts we will not be able to show you why your Apple product was a good buy.

You need to upgrade to El Capitan to use all the functions of Magic Mouse 2. As I suggested, you should have asked a new question by creating a new thread. Tagging onto 4 year old threads is not best practice. People see a thread as long as this one and ignore it. With a new thread you will usually get dedicated help.

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse options.. button > check scrolling.

Thank you so much. I've been waiting a *** time for a post like this to help me get my scrolling to work again. again thank you so much.

Here's a good tutorial with pictures: http://myappleforums.com/magic-mouse/magic-mouse-scroll-not-working/

I had the same issue as AliWonder ... and bearconfidence provided the solution.

Not obvious.

Thanks,
