Hi all, Ronnie specifically for your help, I've done all the instructions below and all seems to be ok now - at least as a basic mouse - I haven't progressed to the high-foluting (sp?) features of the Magic Mouse yet, I'll give it a while as a stocker for now.
So for others with misbehaving Magic Mice (Wendy?), please give the routine below a go and I hope it works for you too. Regards Peter...

Then reinstall the Apple Wireless Mouse Update 1.0 and pair your Magic Mouse and then try. Make sure you are in a scrollable window also! See if all functions work now on Magic Mouse. <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL950> Cheers, Ronni On 17/01/2010, at 4:08 PM, Crisp, Peter wrote: > > Ok, thanks for that Ronni, is it safe to assume the foibles I am > experiencing are not just a simple set-up error by me but in fact a > genuine bug which needs fixing? > > We will hang in there. > > Cheers... > > Peter... > > -----Original Message----- > From: wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au [mailto:wamug-ow...@wamug.org.au] On > Behalf Of Ronda Brown > Sent: Sunday, 17 January 2010 3:21 PM > To: WAMUG Mailing List > Subject: Re: Bluetooth Magic Mouse > > > Hi Peter, > > As Wendy said in her reply, >>> deleting the bluetooth plist in MacIntosh HD > Library>Preferences > and restarting computer. >>> The Magic Mouse then works properly however, this annoying fix needs > to be done >>> every time I shut down and restart the computer. > > Hopefully Apple will have a "fix" for the Magic Mouse soon. > OS X 10.6.3 is due to be released very soon with a lot of 'fixes' > > Just "Hang in there Peter" .... > > Cheers, > Ronni > > On 17/01/2010, at 3:00 PM, Crisp, Peter wrote: > >> >> HI all, I've followed Wendy's tips here and managed to locate and > delete >> the Bluetooth plist file and then a restart.
