Magic Mouse 2 - Can't turn off Swipe Between Pages

I have the same problem with a Magic Mouse 2--won't turn off "swipe between pages." I'm using a new iMac desktop and don't have a trackpad. Without it, you can't turn off the trackpad features, so for the moment I'm stuck watching the pages fly by in Safari every time your finger accidentally moves to the right or left on the Magic Mouse 2. Magic indeed!

Same problem here. Bought the new iMac & magic mouse two weeks ago. Just had a long chat with Apple support, tried several solutions, nothing worked.

Finally their recommendation was to perform a complete clean install. I don't believe that will work either, because I installed the Mac as a new computer when I got it. So, no other solutions sofar (except for the trackpad suggestion)?

The key to most problems with MM2 is this. Are you running on El Capitan 10.11.1?

A little hint; try to find a few minutes to create a profile and include your device and its OS / RAM total within it. It does help us when we try to answer questions.

I have a brand new late 2015 4k retina 21.5" display iMac running OS X 10.11.1 with 16 MB ram.

As I noted above, I can't get "swipe between pages" to turn off using a Magic Mouse 2.

You are right of course. My iMac is Retina 5K, 27 inch, late 2015, 4GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB Memory. OS is El Capitan 10.11.1.

I have the same problem as Jon Butler.

I am running El Capitan 10.11.1 with 16 GB and am experiencing the same problem. I'm a very recent iMac convert and I really do want to love it, but this is yet another niggling issue that is making me wonder whether I've done the right thing in switching to the Mac. The hardware is gorgeous but so many things seem not to work as they should.

Inconceivable that there doesn't seem to be a difference between checking all gesture prefs in Magic Mouse 2 Settings and Unchecking them. Swipes and gestures seem to be the same regardless. I work in Illustrator a lot, and moving the cursor to change tools often takes my artboard to Parts Unknown.

My 27" iMac with Retina 3.3 GHz 8 GB memory running El Cap 10.11.1 is BRAND NEW. I imported my previous install from Time Machine. On advice of another discussion of this issue, I went into files and deleted mouse pref settings (used to work in Unix world, so I do know what those are!) and rebooted.

There has been no change. At $2500, I think the default input devices should at least allow options for continuing with the same work habits one is used to (may I say over 10-15 years of using Macs). As a former quality assurance engineer who focussed on usability, I can't help but think "what the ...???, did no one regression test this?!?" Crap, are Norman and Tognazzini right about you, Apple???

Help, please. Before I (and all the others posting here about this) go insane from all the **** swiping.

I have an early 2013 MBP 15" Retina and running OS X El Capitan.

Like you, I've had to disable the "swipe between pages" gesture on the trackpad. I also tried MagicPrefs and BTT, but these aren't yet up to speed with MagicMouse2.

I bought a new iMac Black Friday 21.5" late 2015 1.6GHz i5. I have the same problem, with no trackpad to turn off. Driving me bonkers!

Same problem here with no trackpad to change options on.

27" Retina iMac with OSX 10.11.1

The inability of turning off Swipe Between Pages appears to have been corrected in OS X 10.11.2. At least it was for me.

The updated seemed to fix this for me as well. Thanks!

I'm having the SAME problem and it causes Safari to crash. I'm on the same iMac and system as you are. WTHeck is wrong with it!?!? It's driving us crazy! Apple, HELP!?! I also do Not have a track pad so I can't turn off/on those options.

Please; you are jumping into an old thread. Write a new thread. Tell us exactly what your problem is, what you have done to try to resolve it and exactly what OS you have and what mouse version you have. It is very important that we can address you as an individual; "I have the same" is a turn off in terms of attracting attention in the forums.
