Magic Mouse Not Scrolling [verified] Now
It sounds like you’re dealing with a frustrating issue—and the “interesting content” part makes me think you might want a solution that goes beyond the basic “turn it off and on again.”
- Pair with another Mac or iPad. If scrolling works there, the issue is software-related on your main Mac.
- Click the Apple Menu () in the top-left corner.
- Select System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS versions).
- Scroll down and click on Mouse.
- Look for the Scroll & Zoom section.
- Ensure the checkbox for "Scroll direction: Natural" is checked. (If it is already checked, try unchecking and re-checking it to reset the preference).
- Shut down your Mac.
- Turn it on and immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
- Log in and test the mouse.
