My Magic Mouse which has functioned flawlessly up until now, has stopped swiping. When I turned the computer off last night it was working, first thing this morning I noticed the swiping doesn't work anymore. I was really beginning to like being able to go forward and backwards on pages with the two-finger motion. Can anyone help ?

I am taking my iMac in to the Apple Store in January for yellow tinge problem, so I can just add this to the fixes. Everything else runs great and I do love my iMac. (i7, 27", 2tb drive, 8 gb RAM)

I am not real computer savvy, just use CS4, Aperture, Safari, if anything goes wrong with the hardware I am lost. :D
 
This has happened to a few people, a reboot usually fixes it. Happened to me once, reboot sorted it and its never happened again.
 
make sure you didn't change anything in the system settings, open system preferences-Mouse, and make sure under the 2 finger option that swipe to left-right to navigate is checked.

If that's not the prob definitely add it to things for apple to check.
