Magic mouse scrolling on windows 8 running pc?

anybody help will be welcome

I see you're using Boot Camp, navigate to the Boot Camp forum if no one here is able to help. I'm sure it's just a setting in MS Windows. The Boot Camp forum is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows gurus tend to hang out.

Is it possible to disable the magic mouse scrolling in windows 7?

I've partitioned my hard drive with bootcamp to run windows 7 for a handful of games that aren't mac friendly. The problem is that once I installed the drivers to use the magic mouse, the scroll keeps jumping around at inconvenient times while I'm playing which makes it pretty difficult. How can I turn the scrolling off? I like having the scroll on the trackpad, but I only want the left and right click on the mouse.

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

I have boot camp in my mac to use autocad. Can I use the magic mouse on my windows side and use it to work in autocad?

I have boot camp in my MacBook Pro to use AutoCAD. Can I use the magic mouse on my Windows side and use it to work in AutoCAD?

Yes and no. The gestures wont work so it just becomes a regular scroll-wheel mouse.

I have an iMac 1.83 ghz Intel Core Duo. The sound is suddenly intermittent, the magic mouse erratic. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. How do I correct this? Will Lion run on this machine?

My magic mouse scrolls backwards with Lion

After upgrading to Lion the up and down movements on my Magic Mouse are backwards. I move my finger down and the page goes up, and the reverse is true when motioning up.

See "magic mouse scrolls in reverse/backwards" for the answer.

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

Is apple's magic mouse compatible with windows that has Bluetooth?

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

Anyone else have a problem with Magic mouse scroll after Maverick update?

Now I have upgraded to Maverick (among other minor things) my Magic Mouse scroll often doesnt work unless I close the application it stopped working in and open it again.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? was there any worthwhile reason to update?

This has happened to me, in fact, why I'm even searching in here...I need help too to fix it! It's so annoying!

Magic mouse scrolling windows 7 fails

I have the latest MacBook air and Windows 7 loaded thru VM Fusion. Everything works great EXCEPT the Magic Mouse vertical (natural scrolling) features.
Is there a fix so my mouse driver in Windows 7 will find and support ALL the features of the magic mouse. This doesn't seem like a real technical challenge, just getting the correct driver installed.

Your issue is with Fusion if the mouse works everywhere else. I suggest you consult the Fusion forums: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion

Magic Mouse Guide for Windows 7 and Vista,,,

Hello All,
I recieved my Magic Mouse and it works great under OSX but I couldn't get it working under Windows at all. Searching here and around the web, I've compiled a guide on how I got it working. Hopefully, Apple will release proper drivers in the future but for now, here is what I did:
Turn mouse off...if you have already tried installing, remove the device and then turn the mouse off. To remove it, open Start, type "Devices" and press enter. Select "remove device"...Now let's get started:
1) Update the Bluetooth Driver.
Open Device Manager.
Start > (Right Click Computer) > Properties. Click Device Manager in upper left of this window. Double click (Bluetooth Radios), Right click on "Generic Bluetooth" and select "Properties". Open the Driver tab and then select "Update Driver". Click "Browse my computer for driver software". On the next screen, towards the bottom, click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". Uncheck "Show compatible hardware". Select "Apple" and then "Apple built in bluetooth". Done
2)In the notification area of the task bar, right click on Bluetooth icon and select "Add a device". Turn on your mouse. It will show up on screen. Right click on the mouse icon. Select Properties. Select the "Services" tab and check the "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc". The mouse may disappear from the screen since it's been added. Windows is still looking for other devices so click "Cancel".
3) Disable power management for Bluetooth Radio. Open device manager, open Bluetooth Radios and right click on "Apple Bluetooth". Select the "Power Management". Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
4) Reboot computer. Mouse should be working in Windows 7/Vista now.
* If you reboot and your mouse is still not working, click on the mouse two or three times. On my system, the mouse will not begin working until I do this, every time I boot my system. *
Hope this helps,
Al

if you go to
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
then download this package
and extract the AppleWirelessMouse.exe or AppleWirelessMouse64.exe
you then can run this on your windows PC and execute this
this enables scrolling functionality of the Magic Mouse
do not execute the downloaded file directly because it will tell you it doesn't run on this computer ( which is logical because of pc hardware =/= Mac hardware )
i hope it works for everybody
for me it does..
it recognizes my Magicg Mouse and i now also have scrolling enabled

Magic Mouse disconnecting on Windows 7

So I bought the Magic Mouse a couple of days ago for my Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 64bit and I'm experiencing some problems.
Now I know that officially the mouse only works with Macs, but I loved it so much that I just decided to buy it already and see if I can somehow make it work. Looking back, I realize it was somewhat foolish on my part. But still, it's here and it's paid for.
Anyway, it paired just fine with my BT dongle (with a 0000 key), Windows automatically installed some drivers, and I installed one found on the internet.
Basically, it works as any normal mouse would, vertical scrolling and right|left click, with none of those 'special' features. I don't care about that tho, what bothers me is that it keeps freezing, or disconnecting, not sure what the right term is, every now and then. It just stops moving the cursor. I tried to time it, but once it disconnected after 20 min and the next after 5. I've been trying to make it work all day and it disconnected many, many times. Sometimes, it comes back after manually turning it off and then on again, other times, it takes up to 30 min.
I tried a number of things, updating the Bluetooth drivers, Windows tells me they are all up to date, restarting and switching off the PC, moving the dongle around, deleting and then pairing the mouse again. I even checked the power options, there was nothing related to the mouse there.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am in the exact same situation after foolishly purchasing the mouse, and have installed the drivers to allow the basic functionality to work with Windows 7. Just as in your case the mouse freezes every once and a while, usually after it has not been used for at least 30 seconds or so. I have tried all the same steps and have not yet been able to fix the issue.
Are there others out there, that are also experiencing this and are there any ideas what can be done to fix it?

Magic Mouse: Scrolling/Swiping not working

I just bought a Magic Mouse for my MacPro. I downloaded and installed "WirelessMouseSoftware.dmg"
Got it BT connected, but the multitouch surface doesn't works. I can't scroll or swipe or anything as it should do.
Any tips for such problem?
Thanks

Alrighty, it looks like I have figured out the source of the problem. The program is called "USB Overdrive." What I did was went under System Preferences, and did a right-click on the USB Overdrive to remove the item from my computer. Turns out that that is not enough. The main problem is inside Extensions. Click on the Apple at the top of the screen, and go to About This Mac. Then, go to more options, and go under software, and then under Extensions. It should take about 10 seconds to load. Once that is done, scroll down to near the bottom of the list, and if you see one called USBOverdrive then open up a new window in Finder. Click on Macintosh HD, and then go to System, then Library, and then Extensions. Find the one called USBOverdrive.kext and drag it to the trash. You may have to enter the admin password to allow Finder to make changes. Empty the file from the trash and restart the computer, and get rid of the mouse from Bluetooth prefs, and then pair it again. That should solve the problem. By the way if you don't have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) run a system update, and if not, then buy a copy, it's well worth the cost.

Magic mouse driver for windows 7

Hi Guys,
Im running windows 7 (64 bit) from bootcamp on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum). I have had a few error messages from windows telling my that W764 doesn't support this notebook but I have nevertheless managed to work quite comfortably on this OS. My problem is that I have not managed to install the drivers for my computer from bootcamp assistant (trying to do so results in the aforementioned error message); this is not really a problem unless I really value scrolling on my computer - which I do, since I am working on CAD drawings - could you guys help me out to get drivers for my magic mouse? Would also really appreciate addressing these error messages.
Thanks!

Which version of bootcamp drivers are you trying to install? If you are trying version 4, maybe try an earlier 3 series that still has MM support. Even if you get them installed, getting the MM to work is a pain. You have to replace the generic bluetooth driver in device manager with the apple one and then do some other tweaks to get it to connect. Lots of posts on this.

Can't set up new Magic Mouse scrolling with Lion

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro and just got a brand new Magic Mouse. I can pair it with the computer and move the pointer, right and left click, but no scrolling or middle button clicking. When I go into System Preferences and select Mouse, I only have the options to "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling," Tracking Speed, Double-Click Speed, Scrolling Speed, Primary mouse button and Zoom using scroll wheel while holding ^Control.
Nowhere do I see the little video and gestures window like I see for my trackpad preferences. I thought maybe I had to install the Wireless Mouse Software, but all I can find is a version for Snow Leopard and my computer will not open the file because it says it's incompatible.
Is scrolling (just up, down, left or right like in a browser) not possible in Lion with a Magic Mouse? What am I missing?

Your missing the Magic Mouse Preference pane. Sometimes 3rd party drivers interfere with this. USB overdrive has been reported the most. Your Magic Mouse Preferences should look like this:
If you can find the culprit and uninstall it, this pane should return.
