hello youtube I just wanted to make a
video quick tutorial if you will and let
you know that I was having problems with
my Magic Mouse too it's an apple product
I usually love everything Apple and my
iPad to my computer to my phone that I'm
recording this on so here's what
happened I was unable to use my mouse
and I called customer service and I was
like what's up with this I don't know
what's going on all of a sudden had
stopped working and the customer service
lady told me to go through all these
steps you know turn it off turn it back
on
hello I did that already but uh you know
humor you and do it again turn your
computer on and off okay I did that
reboot it in recovery mode okay let's
try that all of these things I was
trying they were not working and finally
I got off the phone with them and I
remembered that I told her that when I
was watching when I would turn when I
would turn the mouse off it would say on
my screen on my computer screen mouse
turned off and then when I would try to
turn it on again it would say mouse
turned off so that led me to believe
that there was a short on the underneath
part right here you'll see okay you see
usually you switch it down this way it's
off you switch it up that way it's on
the problem being was I was turning it
on and I was pushing it all the way up
and when I pushed it all the way up it
turned off again so then I started
thinking it there's a
had connection in there so what I did
was I mean my computer was saying oh
it's it's trying to connect it's not
seeing your mouse it's not there so I
really thought my mouse was totally
broke in there I was gonna have to spend
like maybe a hundred bucks to buy a new
mouse but as you can see right here I
did not put the switch all the way up I
just put it up part of the way and that
fixed my problem I think there is a bad
connection in this switch here because
when I put it up only part of the way
instead of all the way it's like I as
soon as I felt it like you know maybe
connecting in there a little bit
I just stopped so it's hardly switched
on it's actually in this position it's
closer to being switched off you can see
only a little tiny bit of green on the
bottom side when you turn this on you
switch it up all the way and there's a
full green bar you'll see but I just
wanted to show you real fast that in the
position that it's in you see it will
work you know so after more than an hour
on with you know customer service and
not being able to figure it out what's
going on I finally figured it out and I
wanted to you know pass on the
information to you in case you found
yourself trying to get work done
oh and that was the other thing I asked
customer service I was like do the
engineers and the people who put these
computers together do they realize when
you have no mouse that works that you
can't get in to toggle your you know
what is it called you're in your system
preferences and your accessibility
there's a mouse and something and
there's a little
checkmark that you need to put in there
so you can use your keyboard as like
your you you know have mouse functions
for your cursor with your keyboard so
yeah I hope this works for you it's
working better even though it looks like
it's off its line I'll just slide it up
a little bit until you feel the
connection and then it will work again
see because I'm telling you this is much
better than not working at all but
thanks so much for watching and if you
have any tips or tricks for your iMac or
Apple products please share them with me
maybe if you have like a work from home
job let me know because I need some sort
of employment and I'm looking right now

yeah so thanks so much and I look
forward to hearing more from you okay
love you guys bye
