Hi there,

okay, I feel stupid now - I just got my new Magic Mouse and don't get the multitouch to work. Only a "real" click and moving the mouse is working right now. I don't know what I do wrong, I use 10.6.2, but to be totally sure, I even tried to install the Magic Mouse software update. Doesn't work. No mouse multitouch settings in the preferences. What do I do wrong?! If anybody has a hint, please let me know. Thanks!!!

EDIT: If this helps: I don't get this menu and my Magic Mouse is shown as "Wireless Mouse" in the bluetooth settings (in case it normally shows "Magic Mouse" and somehow thinks I only have the old normal one ...?!)
 
Don't get this (again, I use 10.6.2 and even installed the separate Magic Mouse software nevertheless):

i suggest getting BetterTouchTool aswell otherwise you're never really getting the full advantage of a multi-touch mouse because Apple thought all you'd want to do with it is go back and forth in your web browser.
