When your Apple mouse is down, there are several fixes you could try.
Try these solutions to get your mouse up and running in almost no time.
Reseat the battery if you use a first-generation Magic Mouseand experience hesitant tracking behavior.
The most likely reason is that the batteries in the mouse lost contact with the battery terminals.
The result is that the Magic Mouse and Mac momentarily loseBluetoothconnectivity.
If the green power LED blinks, the batteries are probably loose.
Check the battery charge by clicking theBluetoothicon on the Mac menu bar or in the Mouse preferences.
If the charge is low, take a break and plug it in.
Clean the wireless mouse’s dirty optical sensor.
To fix this issue, turn the mouse over and use compressed air to blow out the dirt.
If you don’t have compressed air on hand, blow into the sensor opening.
Change the Magic Mouse’s speed or sensitivity.
Go toSystem Preferences>Mouse>Point & ClickorSystem tweaks>Mouse>Tracking speed.
Delete a damaged preference file.
OpenSystem PreferencesorSettingsand reconfigure the mouse to meet your needs.
The ~/Library/Preferences file is hidden on a Mac by default.
Access it by going toFinder>Go>Go to Folderand typing~/Library.
