Apple Magic Mouse from iMac to PC

Hi there! I'm going to purchase new iMac 2011, but for the first week or two I can't use it for some reason (it's a present and I don't wanna show it). But I got my PC mouse broken so can I use iMac's magic mouse with my PC somehow?

I don't think it will work, here is what Apple says it's requirements are:
System Requirements
Mac computer with Bluetooth wireless technology
OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0
Existing keyboard and mouse for setup
Two AA batteries (included)

Issue: Magic Mouse from iMac 27"

My Magic Mouse is having a will of it's own.
If I'm reading a pdf, then at a random point the view is scrolled back to the beginning. Sometimes even without my hand touching the mouse.
It's the same with watching videoclip in Quicktime. Half way through and suddenly the playhead is back to start.
It's anoying when studying homework or movies at i.e. lynda.com. The flaw is both with content on the web like from lynda.com or on my iMac 27".
I tried to update the driver to the Magic Mouse from apple.com but when installing I was informed that a newer version was already nested in my computer.
I hope the will be a fix for this soon, because this bug is disturbing my work flow as a multimedia designer.

Apple Magic Mouse Warranty

Hi there,
I bought a Apple Magic Mouse from a retailer yesterday. I was wondering if the product requires a product registration for warranty?
Thanks!

Hello:
Short answer, no.
Apple does not maintain a database of peripherals.
Keep your receipt. The warranty is one year.

PSE 13 Organiser and apple magic mouse - unusable

Just bought PSE 13 and to my dissapointment discover that scrolling within the organiser is so erratic that its near impossible to select two photos and then stack them.
In addition the slightest touch seems to send the media window shooting off in random directions.
I see from other comments this problem seems to have been around for several versions of PSE. I had v10 before and didn't notice this but had to upgrade for the 5k iMac.
Come on adobe... sort it out.

Thanks don_mayer, I really thought about upgrading my PSE10 to PS12 to fix the scrolling issue.
Your post saved me some money.
@adobe: it would be nice to know, if this problem is planned to be fixed in a future release of PSE. It is NOT linked to the specific "Magic Mouse" from Apple. On OSX Mavericks, scrolling is nearly unusable in the photo browser in PSE no matter which type of mouse is connected to the Mac.
After reading through all the posts in this forum, I haven't solved this problem yet. Also a Logitech mouse (as recommend in one of the posts) did not fix this.
PSE is the only application, I know of on Mac, that seems to have this problem.

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

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?

HT2845 can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS

I can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp,running Windows 7 Ultimate on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS........ It works perfectly on the Apple ,

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
I then found this particular support page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&s w_lang=&product=4231205#N228
Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.
I use the printer through usb but my wife uses wireless from her PC laptop.

Apple Magic Mouse and ID

I've recently purchased the lovely Apple Magic Mouse and am finding it quite difficult to use with InDesign CS4 - other ID versions would be the same I imagine. With this mouse you scroll by stroking its top surface, rather like a trackpad. This is excellent in other applications but in ID, because the pasteboard area is so large and the sensitivity of the mouse so high (even when scrolling is turned down to the minimum in its preferences), it's very easy to make your document shoot sideways off the screen. I expect Illustrator would have similar problems.
Is there a way in which the ID pasteboard can be resized or constrained? Maybe someone will come up with a prefs panel to control the new mouse's scrolling more precisely - but not yet.
Thanks for any ideas.
John Mallinson

I agree, it's far too sensitive. The core problem is that we have become so accustomed to resting our fingers on the surface of mice, because they always require a *definite* press, or scroll action. Now the magic mouse is so sensitive to ANY touch that it reacts to touches meant to push the mouse or were not meant to contact the surface of the mouse.
At first I liked it a bit, but the more I use it, I think it's Apple's worst mouse ever. Puck included (at least you could buy a housing to put them in). This mouse doesn't "seem" to track the same as all other wired mice I've ever used. The touch interface is great for vertical scrolling, but as pointed out here, far to sensitive in circumstances where such scrolling is not desired. Perhaps this could be rectified with a *very* comprehensive preference panel, ie one that lets a user specify the amount of scroll or movement required to initiate a swipe/scroll. The Wacom tablet panel has such prefs, for each program and an overall control as well (ie all unspecified apps). My other major complaint against the mouse is the overall shape. It is simple not comfortable or natural. I prefer a more bulbous mouse, since like many of you I imagine, I end up using the back of my palm to "push" the mouse around or rest my fingers on it. The Magic doesn't lend to resting on it at all. I also need to lift it up, or scroll it farther to the side of the screen than the room I have on my mouse surface. With my Mighty Mouse I pick it up by the sides and put it back down somwhere in the center of my mouse area. I have a dual screen setup, and my coworkers all have 24" iMacs, so it can still be a lot of screen space to traverse.
My Magic Mouse was a gift, but I still feel the $70 for it was a waste. I use it primarily because the scroll ball on the Mighty gets dirty fast and does not respond, and at that I rest the Magic next to my keyboard to scroll but still use the Mighty 95% of the time. If Apple would have made the exact same Mighty Mouse but only made the center area where the ball is, a touch sensitive surface, I would be in mouse heaven (they could delineate the area with a small inscribed line or something).
IMHO big Apple Fail.

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.

How can i get my apple magic mouse to work on windows7

Can my apple magic mouse work with my hp pavilion g7 notebook windows 7?

You need the mouse drivers from the Apple Boot Camp support files.
I don't know if the Apple License agreement allows you to run the software on non-Apple hardware though.

HT201933 How can I use my trackpad and my Apple Magic Mouse at the same time? If I don't have my mouse with me I can't use my laptop. The trackpad only moves an arrow around but doesn't let me click on anything?

When I want to use only my laptop without the apple magic mouse, how do I disable the mouse so that the trackpad works?

Hi, thanks for your answer,
No, I connected the midi-in from the blofeld to midi-out from the virus. I was told to do so by the guy who sold me the ultralite mk3.
I made some tests before getting the ultralite... I used the Virus soundcard as audio device and I could control the blofeld. But I had to link my monitor to the Blofed Out... then I wasn't able to listent to the Virus. But this way I could play the Blofeld in Logic (but couldn't see any midi data and when I bounced I had no sound)
That's the main reason I decided to buy an external audio device (to be able to play both the Virus and the Blofeld)
But I think the way I connected Blofeld to Virus is right because I can see the light which means it receives midi data.
I think it's more about how to set it within logic...
And the Blofeld only gets one Midi connection: Midi In
Both my Virus and Blofeld are also connected to my MacPro via USB, that's the reason I didn't connect the synths to the ultralite via midi...
thanks for you help! I'm getting crazy lol

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?

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...
