Hello,
I am using the Apple bluetooth mouse. Is there way to turn off the swipe left and right with the finger gesture? I don't see anything in System Preferences.
Thanks.
Did you look in both parts of the mouse section in Systems Prefs. The link 'More gestures' at the top of the page should do the job.
It looks like you have the new Magic Mouse 2, available since October last year ... but I would appreciate it if you could confirm it has the new charging system via the socket underneath, which is where the older mouse battery cover was. If that's the case, it should run with Sierra. Have you tried to reset the SMC.
Yes, I do have the charging connection under the mouse. I just tried the SMC reset with no change. I will check with the app developer, I have a feeling they may be overriding this some how.
Ideally I could disable the all the swiping options on this mouse. When in Firefox, if I hold the Command button and swipe up or down on the mouse the window zooms larger or smaller. I can't find a way to turn that off in either System Settings or Firefox preferences.
Thanks.
It is Lightroom and after rummaging through their multitude of preferences I did find the setting that from my perspective, overrides the left/right swipe.
Thanks for sticking with this and for your advice.
Yes I saw that and Swipe between pages and Swipe between full screen apps are deselected. The only thing I can think of is that I have some apps that are overriding that setting.
Hello again,
What machine are you using the Magic mouse with?
Which version of the Magic mouse are you using?
What OS is on that Machine. Have you recently upgraded?
I'm on an iMac, less than 1 year old.
I am running Sierra 10.12. The problem is pre-Sierra upgrade
The firmware version of my magic mouse is 0x0064.
Thanks for helping me resolve this.
Never one to give up. 😀 It might be worth mentioning the app's name here, especially if it is a third party app. Someone else may have had a similar experience ... or resolved it.
Really pleased I was able to help.
