Missing scroll options for Magic Mouse I've connected two separate magic mouses but only the point and click features work, neither will scroll. I went into settings and appear to be missing the "point/click", "scroll/zoom", "more gestures" tabs. Could it be a computer setting issue?

some optical mice performs poorly on shiny surfaces try using a mouse pad or just a piece of paper and see if it helps, if not then if it was me then I would try another mouse and or test the mouse with another computer
