Bluetooth Mighty Mouse In Win XP Pro In Boot Camp

I just went and bought a bluetooth mighty mouse for my macbook. On the mac side it works great, but when i go to pair it to the windows side (or any other windows machine) it can see it but it always asks me for a pin.
does anyone have this problem or know what to do. I really wanna use this on the windows side of things too!!

Works great for me using basic functions - left/right click and scroll wheel.
I had first paired and named the mouse under OS X.
I booted into Windows XP Pro/SP2. The BT drivers did not work. I uninstalled the Apple drivers by running the installer, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted.
Note that you have to Ok unsigned drivers.
One the second boot, a dialog showed the BT drivers being installed. After everything settled down, I opened the BT Control Panel and asked to add the driver.
As soon as it started scanning, I pressed the right mouse button and turned the mouse on with the slide switch.
It showed up within less than 5 secs. I selected it, and a dialog asked for a key assignment. I let the computer assign the key.
Now it works like a charm, whether OS X or Windows is booted.
This mouse is great - it works on all surfaces, and no more chord!

  • Runnig Win XP PRo (SP3) Boot Camp in Fusion 2 - Never Ending Progress bar..

    Hello guys
    I'm running Vmware fusion 2 and Have a Bootcamp partition of 32GB size (Latest Leopard ,MBP 15" 2.53Ghz ,4GB RAM). Fusion detects the Boot camp partition but when i click to run it it brings up a little window saying "Please wait while Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run....".
    I left it to run over night (8+ Hrs) but the window was still there? It never finishes so i tried Force Quit and then did the below command in terminal (because Fusion was showing the Boot Camp partition as "Damaged" after the Force Quit):
    rm -dfr "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp"
    Running that command makes Fusion Remove the "damaged" Bootcamp and on on Fusion Restart Boot camp partition is recognized as normal again, so i tried to run the Boot Camp partition again in Fusion, The Progress bar window came up again saying "Please wait while Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition..." , i left it to run for another 5+ hours but nothing again! That window is still there and i had to force quit it since nothing ever happens,
    Can someone please help?

    Did you download and install the Bootcamp Windows Support software according to the Bootcamp Installation Guides? http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    There is a Bootcamp Forum here. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    You should ask Bootcamp questions there. The moderators may move this thread to the Bootcamp Forum.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

    Hi All,
    I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

    I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

  • Using Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

    I have a new Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. Can I use the same bluetooth Mighty Mouse for both computers? I tried pairing it with the second mac after it was already paired and it stopped working with the first.
    Thanks!

    It can only be paired with one computer at a time.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse has totally stopped working

    I have a bluetooth Mighty Mouse that seems to have stopped working. I was using it on a trip over in Guam. Then I came back to the states and it was in my suitcase/unused for several weeks with the batteries in it. Now that we have moved into an apartment, I would like to start using it again. But when I turn it on by sliding the little slider switch on the bottom, the little green light doesn't blink any more and it doesn't seem to be recognized by my computer. I have tried it with recharged batteries and other batteries, but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get this thing working without having to buy a new mouse. I have noticed that there is a little white tab just above where the batteries go. When the back cover is on, it appears that the slider switch somehow pushes on this little white tab. But with the cover off, this little white tab has some play in it (up and down) and can rattle around. Could there be something under this tab that is stuck down? Any advice would be appreciate! Thanks!

    Hello ba:
    No light=no power to the device.
    If you happen to be near an Apple store, take the mouse in and have them try it on one of their systems. I do not think there would be any charge for that.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse battery consumption

    I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and have had it for 3 months (Christmas present). Last week, I noticed one bar had disappeared in the mouse battery life window in System Prefs - "wow" I thought "only lost 20% charge in just under 3 months".
    However, yesterday, I got a "Low Battery" warning and noticed that only two bars were remaining. A couple of hours later I got a "Critical battery level" warning and only one bar remaining.
    I don't use my mouse all that much - probably at most 6 hours per day (in short-ish intervals, turning it off in between) and I can't remember accidentally leaving it on. I'm using it with the two original AA batteries it shipped with.
    Is this normal battery consumption? I find it strange that from "Low battery" to "critical battery" would be a couple of hours and that it would suddenly lose almost 50% of its charge in a week.
    Do these mice eat AA batteries? Is it a good idea to get some rechargeables to use instead?
    Cheers for the help

    Hello thomasp:
    In answer to your question, the battery life of a wireless mouse is mostly dependent on usage. When not in use, the wireless devices go to a very low power mode. IMHO, it is a waste of time to turn mice/KBs off. I would postulate that your experience is about normal.
    I use rechargeable batteries (2500 mAh) in all my wireless devices. They do not last quite as long as the Lithium batteries - they have a lower voltage. However, I use an Energizer recharger that recharges batteries in 15 minutes - very little waiting time. In addition to being less expensive in the long run, rechargeable batteries are environmentally friendly! I bought a bunch of them on eBay. By the by, the rechargeables lose some charge every day - even if they are not in use.

  • Bluetooth mighty mouse laggy

    Is it just me, or are wired mouses more responsive. I've had to stop using my bluetooth mighty mouse because there just seems to be too much of a delay between when I move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. Anyone?

    I get the lag when there is a lot of network activity such as copying a file across the network or when Time Machine is activated.
    I've tried changing the channel on my AirPort Express and it has helped but on some channels the wireless connection itself is less stable and keeps dropping periodically.
    I've yet to find the channel that gives me both stable wireless and no laggy mouse.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse connection

    I frequently use my MBP as a laptop. When I carry it out of range of the bluetooth Mighty Mouse, I get the notification that it has disconnected, but when I get back in range, the MBP acts as if it had never been connected to the mouse in the first place.
    I have to go through the whole setup routine to get the mouse to connect again. Is there any way to get the MBP to remember the mouse and connect automatically as soon as it's in range?

    Wscrivens,
    Try this...
    Under "Bluetooth" select "devices," select your Bluetooth mouse and then "add to favorites."

  • Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

    I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

    Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
    Format the partition as NTFS.

  • Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.

    Cannot install Windows XP Professional on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. When I get to the point of inserting the Windows disc and clicking 'Install' at the Boot Camp Assistant screen, it keeps telling me that it cannot find the Install Disc. The installation disc I am using is a new full install disc. I have tried to do the same thing using a Windows 7 disc with the same results. Does anyone have any answers. I am getting desperate!
