how do i get the magic mouse gestures work?

Hello bamfumu,

The resource below explains how to use the Magic Mouse gestures. Can you tell us which gestures are not working for you? If no gestures are working, you may need to unpair your Magic Mouse and then pair it again to your Mac.

Gestures offer you a smart, intuitive way to work with your Mac. When you use a Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, or a Multi-Touch trackpad on a portable Mac, you can use gestures—such as click, tap, pinch, and swipe—to zoom in on documents, browse through music or webpages, rotate photos, and much more.

With OS X, you’ll enjoy even more fluid and realistic gesture responses, including rubber-band scrolling, zooming, and full-screen swiping. Here are some things you can do with gestures:

• To open Launchpad, pinch closed with four or five fingers.

• To look up a word in Dictionary, add a date to Calendar as a new event, or see a preview of an address in Maps, force click the selected text by pressing firmly until you feel a deeper click, or tap it with three fingers.

• To switch from one full-screen app to another, swipe left or right with three or four fingers.

To see how to perform gestures, customize how gestures work, and set options for your trackpad or mouse, open Trackpad or Mouse preferences.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse preferences.

Work with your Magic Mouse

Magic Mouse is a point-and-click mouse that lets you click and double-click anywhere on the Multi-Touch surface. The Multi-Touch area covers the whole surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through webpages and photos with two fingers, and click or double-click anywhere.

Here are some ways you can work with your Magic Mouse:

To scroll in any direction or pan 360 degrees, move one finger along the Magic Mouse surface.

To move through pages in Safari or browse photos, use two fingers to swipe left or right.

To see how to perform gestures and customize how your Magic Mouse works, use Mouse preferences.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
