Boot Camp Mighty Mouse

I have vista ultamate 64-bit running on boot camp. My mighty mouse does not work. When you add the bluetooth device it asks for a passkey. I have tried all of the options and the mouse still won't pair correctly.

I ran in to this same problem and found the solution in another forum. Just enter four zeros for the passkey and it will work.

  • Boot Camp Issue: Mouse Problem

    Hello. I occasionally use BootCamp to start up a version of Windows XP, specifically the latest SP3. The problem is when I plug in a USB mouse, it will work for literally 2 seconds and then stop. All lights are on, but nothing functions. Windows will say found new hardware, but even then through all the wizardry provided, the mouse still does not respond or function.
    Secondly, I use the bluetooth mighty mouse. It connects 100% fine and is detected. That too after literally 2 seconds will not function anymore. Lights are on and all seems to be fine except for the mouse functions not responding.
    Both mouses work 100% fine on Mac without a problem. Can anyone offer me a solution that will fix the situation? This is really frustrating.

    Many of us "experts/long time Mac users" don't bother with Boot Camp and Windows, do we have no idea what to tell you.
    However, Apple does offer Boot Camp forums here:

    There, you'll find a USB-related forum and a Bluetooth forum, and the users there might be able to help you.

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth m.mouse & keyboard not working in Boot Camp on XP

    I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but it's doing my head in.
    I recently installed Windows XP (SP2) on Boot Camp, the mouse and keyboard had worked fine, and I was able to hold down Option key to choose prefered OS on startup no problem. I then tried to connect to my work network to use the internet (and operate stuff) to discover that I needed to download network drivers. I figured out I needed to insert OSX install DVD and follow the prompts, which I did, setup wizard was enacted and the drivers were (I believe) downloaded.
    After restarting the computer I've discovered that I'm now unable to use the bluetooth mighty mouse OR keyboard! I've tried plugging in a USB PC mouse, but that's still not working. So I tried restarting and holding down the option key in the hope of switching back to OSX, but I can't even do that! everytime I restart it goes straight to Windows XP, I've tried several times, pressing the Option key at different points of the restart phase to try and get to the choice screen, but to no avail.
    I have a new(ish) 27" Apple iMac running OSX Snow Leapord
    Any help appreciated

    I've been able to source a PC USB keyboard (along with the mouse), but still unable to get any response from the computer. Doesn't seem to matter if they're plugged in before I restart in windows either.

  • Latest boot camp + wireless mighty mouse

    Hi,
    I was using boot camp 1.01, I just upgraded to the latest version of boot camp. Now, my wireless mighty mouse scroll doesn't work on the WinXP side. Does anyone know how to get it working again?
    In the bluetooth area in WinXP, it doesn't show the mouse, but the mouse works. I tried to add it but it doesn't find it.

    Not correct. I did the complete install with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The firmware has low level basic support for bluetooth and it recognized my keyboard and mouse immediately. Once have finished loading xp and installed the apple drivers, you will need a usb mouse. Once the apple bluetooth driver is loaded, you won't beable to pair your keyboard and mouse until you have gone to the bluetooth control panel in xp. All you need is the mouse to do the pairing. Just have it discovery your mouse and keyboard and select to pair without using the code authentication. The caveat to this is that your keyboard loses it pairing when you start up and you will need to turn if off then on to repair. It might loss the pairing later on if you do not use the keyboard for a while. Just turn it off and on again and it will re-pair.

  • Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

    I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

    Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

  • Mighty wired mouse is trigger happy in boot camp

    I'm having a problem with the side buttons on the mouse reacting too easily in windows under boot camp on my new iMac. Can't see any adjustment available in control panel. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem with my iMac mid 2010 and the same Razer mice.
    Razers says: "...you will need to get in contact with Apple about that, as we do not support EFI."
    My previous mice logitech mx518 (no official Mac OS X support) and a cheap 5 EUR mice has no problem in EFI.
    I'm currently in contact with Razer regarding this issue.

  • 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!

  • Wireless mouse does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp)

    Is there a way to get my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse to work under Windows XP? It is the mouse that came with my Mac Pro.
    I managed to install Windows XP Professional and the Boot Camp drivers w/o a mouse. But now that XP is running fine I still have no mouse. Tried the Control Panel > Bluetooth > Detect Devices (can't remember exact wording), but no Bluetooth device was detected.
    Yes I read the Boot Camp installation guide but hope that the USB mouse requirement was only for the installation part and that there is a way to make the mouse work after the Boot Camp drivers are installed.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Olaf

    Most untrue works just fine under Windows actually ,however you do need to repair with windows .AND only after OSx pairing complete AND the Boot camp drivers are installed in Windows.
    It uses a special profile to allow pairing in what is in essence two differing computers !
    Having said that to get the mighty mouse to pair under windows can take a bit of effort.
    When if finds the mouse and asks for a pairing password try either none or 0000!

  • Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

    Hi All,
    I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?
    John.

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • Magic mouse, Win XP all work fine? On boot camp?

    I currently have an Intel iMac 2007 Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard on and use boot cMp with Win XP home on. I have a mighty mouse wireless at the moment and works fine. I used a magic mouse in the Apple retail store recently Nd thought it was reall good.
    So will the magic mouse work fine under boot camp on Win XP home? What functions work and what dont please? I only want one mouse for Mac and Windows
    Cheers

    The Magic Mouse will work fine with Bootcamp Windows and Mac OS X. Follow the instructions: un-pair it in Mac OS X, install the drivers and pair it in Bootcamp Windows, and then pair it with Mac OS X. This works great for me, but note that functionality in Windows is more limited: scrolling is just up and down and no gestures for back page and forward page.
    My experience with the Magic TrackPad is that I can get it to work properly in either Max OS X (10.6.4 or 10.6.5) and Bootcamp Windows. (It has the same limits on functionality in Bootcamp Windows as the Magic Mouse.) However, when rebooting into a different OS, the prior pairing does not work. You have to delete the device in the Bluetooth control panel and then re-pair it. This is a nuisance and I find that it is easier to simply plug in a USB mouse for occasional use in Bootcamp Windows rather than to constantly re-install the device. This is not fixed in the 10.6.5 update on my system.
    If you need to use Bootcamp frequently, then the Magic Mouse is a better choice. Note that what I describe here is my experience with my early 2008 MacBook Pro. YMMV.

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

  • Windows 7 Boot Camp no longer recognize my wireless mouse and Keyboard?

    I have a mid 2011 27in iMac on 10.9.1 and I run Windows 7 via boot camp, sometimes Parallels as well. Today I tried to boot up in to Windows via Boot Camp, but I can not control the cursor or input anything via kayboard. This has happened before and I only got it working again after reinstalling Windows, which I am REALLY trying to avoid
    The thing is, when I boot in to Windows, it is definitely responding to the keyboard when I hold F8 to go in to safe mode, but once the desktop loads up, I lose any function of mouse or keyboard. Even when I try to manually add a device using a USB mouse, it is not detecting any wireless device.
    Both my Magic Trackpad and Wireless Keyboard work fine in OS X, Windows 7 when in Parallels and works during the start up of boot camp, but not when Windows 7's desktop boots up.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to download the drivers. To download them, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to download them. You will have to burn them onto a DVD or USB drive, so you will be able to install the drivers on Windows. Then, it should work fine.
    If you can't download them in Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers from this website > http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers The links are from Apple and that's safe to download and install

  • Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

    Hi,
    I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
    To summarise my setup, I use:
    - Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
    - Thunderbolt Display
    - Wireless Keyboard
    - Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
    And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
    But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
    But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
    The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
    I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
    - using the laptop with the lid open
    - removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
    - repositioning items on my desk
    - disabling wifi
    All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
    Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
    So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
    Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!

    SOLVED!
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
    Cheers

  • Cannot get Magic Mouse to work in Windows 7 64-bit using Boot Camp

    I recently purchased a Magic Mouse and installed it on the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook Pro. After successfully installing on the Mac side, I switched to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Boot Camp to install on the Windows partition. When I try to "Discover" a new Bluetooth device, the Magic Mouse does not show up in the list of devices (the mouse is powered on and next to the computer).
    I am using the most recent version of Boot Camp (3.0.2) and have updated Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
    I appreciate any help!

    OK, that is a Bluetooth mouse so open Windows Devices and Printers>Add a Device Toggle the power (on the mouse) off and then on. he mouse should appear in the window, follow instructions to add it.
