Apple Magic Mouse / Bluetooth

Howdy Folks,
Was thinking about treating myself to a magic mouse, but my powermac G5 doesn't have onboard bluetooth. Does anyone know what I can do to bluetooth enable the system so that it's compatible with the magic mouse?
Cheers.

I have recently purchased a D-Link USB connector called DBT-120. It worked great for a number of weeks and then just today got 'confused' by having a laptop in the vicinity that had also been paired with the mouse. Now, I cannot get the mouse to reconnect to my G5 - but for a while there it was great. (I've tried everything I can think of, rebooting, re-batterying, resetting PRAM and SMU, deleting the plist file for bluetooth devices - nothing has worked).
Thoughts out there anyone?

  • I would like to purchase a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse to use on my new HP Windows 8.1 laptop. Will it work?

    Would a Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse work on my new HP PC laptop running windows 8.1? The laptop has bluetooth on it. I like the mouse and would like to have it bluetooth enabled on a PC laptop. Has anyone had any success with this? Thanks

    It's not officially supported, but Google "magic mouse windows 8" for a variety of potential solutions.

    I suggest that you request this feature, as I have, at Apple's feature request site. Maybe if enough of us request this it will come in a future iOS release.

  • How to Setup Apple Magic Mouse in Windows 7?

    Hi,
    I have a MBP that runs "Apple OS X 10.6.3" and "Windows 7 Ultimate".
    I also purchased an "Apple Magic Mouse".
    I have no problem setting up the Apple Magic Mouse on the Mac side, but don't know how to set up the Apple Magic Mouse in the Windows 7.
    So how do I make my Apple Magic Mouse work in the Windows 7?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I clicked "Add wireless devices", but it cannot show apple magic mouse.
    i put my apple magic mouse for a while and let bluetooth search, the apple magic mouse can be used, but still not showing in the panel.
    if i have to wait for 1 or 2 mins for the mbp to recognize my apple magic mouse,(in the windwos 7 of course), then it's too tedious.
    anyway that can solve this problem?

  • Will the Apple Magic Mouse work with my Mac Mini?

    Hi
    I have a mid 2007 Mac mini — the Model 2,1 — running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10•6•8
    I’m thinking of treating myself to the Apple Magic Mouse, or Trackpad.
    Will the Magic Mouse, work with this model and version of the OS … ?
    (I’m ALSO told I need to have Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0: how do I go about checking that I do … ?)

    I'm not sure about the 2007 mini, but a quick check is to open your system preferences and look for Bluetooth preferences.  If there aren't any, then no magic mouse for you...

  • Apple Magic Mouse and Headset

    As soonas i run my Apple Magic Mouse together wit my samsung hm3100 my mouse is loosing the connection as soon as i switch of muy head set everything is fine Macbook Pro 17 inch snow 10.6.8
    Any idea
    Thanx
    Frank

    Sorry to ressurect a semi-dead thread, but I'm having issues with this as well.  Using my bluetooth headset and bluetooth mouse causes pandora to speed up and slow down all the time (really weird sounding) and then intermittant drops.  I'm on a 2011 macbook pro with 16gb of ram and a 500gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7 etc etc.  I don't really think I'm doing something that outside of the box, i mean I get that there are limits to how much data can be pushed through bluetooth, but you'd think that would be within reach...  Can you prioritize the data such that the sound quality is never affected?  I'd rather my mouse be a bit jumpy than the sound be all funky...

  • Apple Magic Mouse best usage

    Hi guys!...
    My wife bought me an Apple Magic Mouse and i have a few questions.
    I have a Mac Mini under 10.6.4 by the way
    I normally left downloading some stuff on my Mac all night long. Is it best to leave the Magic Mouse on or off?... If i turn it off... How can i connect again without reconnecting a USB mouse?... If i turn the mouse off without disconnecting it from the bluetooth icon, is there a risk on hardware damage?
    Thanks so much!!!

    The mouse should turn off automatically. You can just press the power button and hold it until a message appears on the Mac saying "Connection Lost" or "Trackpad Off". It does not damage the hardware.
    Hope that helps.

  • Macbook Pro (Early 2011) not recognizing Apple Magic Mouse

    OK, so I recently bought a MacBook Pro (Early 2011 Model) and I cant get my Magic Mouse to connect to the Bluetooth. This laptop is used, but I bought it from a Apple reseller and they told me that it was refurbished and that there should not be anything that is not working. Anyways, when I turn on my Apple Magic Mouse and go to Bluetooth or Mouse in the System Preferences, I don't see anything at all just the loading circle. It will not appear. I have tried doing the trick of holding Command+Option+P+R on startup like some people have suggested but that doesn't seem to change anything. I also brought it to the Apple store and the associate connected the mouse to one of the computers there, so I know that my mouse is working. Is there a way to tell if the Bluetooth in my laptop needs to be replaced? if so, can it be replaced easily without a big cost?

    Hi kbridea1,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Pro isn’t recognizing your Magic Mouse but other devices are able to recognize it. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you’ve described.

  • Can anyone tell me why my apple magic mouse isn't working on my computer i've tried new batterys but it still doesn't work

    I bought a macbook pro and apple magic mouse 6 months ago and it has worked in the past, but when I tried to use it earlier it doesn't work. The macbook seems to recognise it but when you move the mouse the curser stays put. The track pad still works though, any sugestions?

  • Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

    I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
    I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
    I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
    If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    - leftclick and rightclick is working
    - i miss the middle button in my cad-software
    The same with the trackpad!
    Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
    The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
    Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
    Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
    Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
    I then found this particular support page:

    Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.

    Got confused between your header question about a wired mouse and the main question about a wireless mouse.  You said your magic mouse was frozen and added you do not have a wireless mouse.   Problem is ... the magic mouse is wireless.   The original mighty mouse was the corded version.
    The wired mouse is a regular problem.  After two to three years it tends to clog up. You can clean it (to a degree) as follows.
    Using an alcohol moistened, not wet, cotton bud, scratch at the mouse ball for a minute or so.   Then turn it upside down and on a clean piece of thick white paper or card on a firm surface, vigorously rub the mouse ball on the paper in a regular figure of eight.  Do this for a minute or so and occasionally tap the mouse on the paper.   This will help dislodge bits of fluff etc.   Then try again
